However, it was a pity that this time he was saving Mackenzie instead of her.
The sound of clothes tearing brought Claudette back to reality.
Because Mackenzie hadn’t planned on coming in the first place, her outfit

Of course, Emmanuel was too occupied to contemplate Claudette’s
thoughts. In fact, he even forgot she was still there for a moment.
He began freaking out when he noticed Mackenzie’s breathing had become
weaker due to excessive blood loss. “Don’t die, Mackenzie!”
“You…” Claudette was shattered.
How she wished the person on the verge of death right then was her and not
Mackenzie!
serious the man looked, she knew it wasn’t the case.
Claudette’s heart suddenly raced.
She never feared when running away with Emmanuel. Instead, she found it
exhilarating.
No game could compare to this thrill!
Is Emmanuel a superhero? How can he be so strong? And his stamina is so
good too!
Claudette even smiled and closed her eyes, allowing Emmanuel to lead her.
The night wind blew against her cheeks as if someone was caressing her
face.
She enjoyed the sensation running away brought, but unfortunately, the run
came to a stop quickly.
Emmanuel had wanted to hide in a dark area, but a beam of light had
already illuminated the surroundings.
This time, two assassins, a man and a woman, appeared before Emmanuel.
They weren’t afraid that Emmanuel would run away either, for they knew he
wouldn’t leave the two women behind even when it meant that he could get
away easily if he did so.
That said, their primary target wasn’t Emmanuel.
“Huh, no wonder they offered Redback Assassins a high price. To think
Yeringham has a master fighter.”
The woman in red approached Emmanuel seductively.
Despite hiding her face behind a red mask, her eyes were soul–stirring, and
she even had a sexy mole on one corner of her eye.
Emmanuel, however, didn’t find her sexy or alluring. Instead, he sensed
immense danger from her.
“Who sent you?” Emmanuel asked while shielding Mackenzie and Claudette
as they stepped back.
However, he stopped quickly as the man behind them had already drawn a
dagger!
This was an organization of cold weapon assassins!
”
Having spent many years in the Northern Region, Emmanuel had some
knowledge about globally renowned assassin organizations. In this age, only
a few organizations still used cold weapons, and most of them were
concentrated in Chanaea.
If his guess was right, then the assassins before him belonged to an
organization named Redback Assassins, which was also dubbed ‘the rich’s
nightmare‘.
Only a Yeringham tycoon could have hired elite assassins like them. Ordinary
folks would never have the money to afford it.
The woman in red didn’t reply to Emmanuel. Instead, she stared intently at his
face.
Being an insensitive guy, Emmanuel naturally didn’t pick it up, but Claudette’s
jealousy surged when she noticed the woman’s gaze.
Is it me, or does this woman also like Emmanuel?
“Huh, do you not remember me, handsome?” The woman in red suddenly
covered her lips and giggled.
Her bootylicious figure would have captivated any man. However, Emmanuel
was far from interested. His brows were furrowed. It looked like he was
digging deep into his memory archive for the female assassin before him.
Alas, Emmanuel shook his head a while later. “I don’t know you! If it’s money
you want, I can give you what you’ve been offered if you give up the mission.
How about that?”
Emmanuel was never the type to show off or act tough.
If he were alone, he certainly wouldn’t yield. However, he had to protect
Mackenzie and Claudette while suffering from injuries. He was afraid of any
missteps.
Chapter 310
“Huh, do you think that’s possible?” The woman in red approached
Emmanuel, her eyes laced with a hint of mockery.
Meanwhile, the man behind her stood still like a statue.
Emmanuel quickly shielded Mackenzie and Claudette, assuming a combat
stance.
“Aw, you’re still as interesting as before!” said the woman in red as she stood
before Emmanuel.
Her eyes grew more alluring as she got closer.
Claudette stared at her intently. If they were outside, she would’ve asked
Laura to send troops to eliminate this despicable woman.
“Say, this darling behind you is quite pretty. Is she your girlfriend? What are
you planning to do to her, bringing her to a place like this in the middle of the
night?”
v
The woman in red still wouldn’t reveal her identity, let alone tell Emmanuel
where they had met before, only teasing him with full force.
Despite holding Emmanuel’s arm tightly, there was no fear in Claudette’s
gaze that was on the female assassin, for she didn’t take the woman as an
assassin at all but as a love rival.
A woman’s sixth sense was much stronger than a man’s. Emmanuel might
not be able to tell, but she would be an idiot if she was unaware that the
woman in red was definitely interested in him!
Otherwise, she would have killed Emmanuel right away as the previous
assassin did instead of wasting her time blabbering. As Laura often said to
her, ‘the more someone blabbered, the stronger the affection‘.
“Don’t be afraid, Ms. Lenoir.” Emmanuel gently patted Claudette’s hand, giving
her courage.
Claudette nodded. “With you by my side, I have nothing to be afraid of!”
The woman in red’s eyelashes curled even more upon witnessing the scene.
P
“My, my, who would have thought a strait–laced guy like you would have a
girlfriend? And it seems like you have more than one…”
She clicked her tongue while gazing at the young woman in Emmanuel’s
arms. “A three–person game, eh? This must be a new world wonder!”
Emmanuel rolled his eyes. He might be insensitive and straight–laced, but he
wasn’t an idiot, so he naturally knew the woman in red was ridiculing him. So,
every man deserves a woman but me?!
“No matter who sent you guys to kill, you’ll have to walk over my dead body if
you want to lay your hands on the girls!”
At that, Emmanuel handed the unconscious Mackenzie to Claudette and
stood in front of them with a resolute gaze.
His magnetic voice instantly penetrated Claudette’s heart.
This was exactly why she fell in love with Emmanuel. She would love him at all
costs and willingly, like a moth to a flame!
“Aw, the hotties from the Northern Region sure are righteous. Well then, I’ll kill
them first. What are you going to do about it?!” The woman in red deliberately
provoked Emmanuel.
At the same time, the male assassin behind Emmanuel assumed a combat
stance as well.
An unequal battle of one against two was about to begin.
1
The man was surprised to see that the woman in red didn’t stop him from
taking action.
Immediately, he realized Emmanuel was truly strong, or his junior, who
always flew solo on missions, wouldn’t have allowed anyone to aid her.
The aura of the three fighters made the night wind fierce!
Seeing that the two assassins were going to attack together, Emmanuel
deliberately mocked, “To think the esteemed Redback Assassins would need
two of their men to deal with an injured prey. Your reputation will be
completely ruined if this gets out!”
“Aw, is the Northern Region Wolf Warrior afraid of us? What an honor!” The
woman in red didn’t back down. She even pointed out Emmanuel’s identity.
Claudette was stunned.
Other women might not have heard of the Northern Region Wolf Warrior, but
her father was General Adolph Lenoir! She, of all people, would understand
what the title meant!
No wonder Emmanuel is so formidable. It turns out he’s the renowned Wolf
Warrior, the strongest individual combatant in the Northern Region! Huh, I
sure have amazing taste, if I do say so myself!
Emmanuel, too, was taken aback, and his frown deepened. It seemed that he
had indeed crossed paths with the woman in red before. Unfortunately, she
didn’t reveal her true identity, and he just couldn’t remember who she was!
“It’s not about fear or no fear!” Emmanuel responded, “Since you know me,
-how about we fight one–on–one? Code of honor–we shouldn’t involve others
in our personal grievances!”
At that, the woman in red giggled. Who’d have thought this straight–laced
guy is obtuse in romance but cunning in other aspects?! Huh, as if I’d want to
fight you one–on–one!
The male assassin also heightened his vigilance, afraid that Emmanuel
would suddenly launch a surprise attack on his junior.
Emmanuel sighed in disappointment. The world has changed. There are
fewer fools, and being a fraud isn’t easy anymore!
“Attack!” the woman in red roared, and the two of them attacked Emmanuel
from the front and back.
The Redback Assassins rarely employed a strategy of outnumbering their
opponents. However, Emmanuel’s former reputation was too prominent, and
the woman in red had lost to him before. She couldn’t afford to be careless
now!
The creed of the Redback Assassin organization was to prioritize mission
completion no matter the circumstances!
Emmanuel was already injured and facing two top–level experts from the
assassin organization with bare hands was incredibly difficult.
As such, his wounds increased in number.
Beads of cold sweat gathered on Emmanuel’s forehead after he dodged
another one of his opponent’s deadly attacks. It was his first time
experiencing such a close encounter with death.
”
Seeing that Emmanuel was at a clear disadvantage, Claudette, fueled by
inexplicable courage, ran out and spread her arms, stood in front of him, and.
shouted, “You can’t kill him!”
The woman in red blocked her fellow assassin’s dagger and sneered, “Why
can’t we kill him?”
As she spoke, she licked Emmanuel’s blood from the tip of her blade.
Her weapon had a peculiar design–a blood–red sickle.
It resembled a blood moon.
”
Claudette didn’t know how to answer her question, but she continued to
stand in front of Emmanuel.
“Move aside, Ms. Lenoir!” Emmanuel quickly dragged Claudette back with one
hand, worried for her safety.
She would undoubtedly die if the assassins decided to kill her.
“Forget about us, Emmanuel. You can definitely make it if you run away
alone!” Claudette tried to shove the man away, but Emmanuel stood firm in
his spot. “I will never abandon a comrade no matter what!” he swore with
gritted teeth.
The scene reminded him of the mistake he made before decommissioning!
This time, he wouldn’t retreat no matter what!
“Huh, as expected of the Northern Region Wolf Warrior, valiant and loyal. Since
you won’t run away, die!”
The woman in red attacked again, moving like a red phantom, and her blade
emitted a chilling red light in the darkness.
To protect Claudette and Mackenzie behind him, Emmanuel was left with no
choice. With a furious shout, he unleashed a powerful punch.
Claudette wasn’t sure if she was imagining things, but she saw Emmanuel’s
fist emitting a burst of flames.
In the blink of an eye, they clashed head–on, and astonishingly, the woman in
red was forced to retreat. She even took several steps back before stabilizing
herself.
Though she wasn’t able to see them fight clearly, Claudette noticed that
Emmanuel’s right hand, which he had hidden, was now drenched in blood.
His hand had been split apart by the woman in red!
A wave of guilt surged within her, and in the next moment, Claudette was
moved to tears. Emmanuel did it to save me. I hope his hand is fine…
