Chapter 630
“Emmanuel!” Mackenzie emerged from the snow in the forest below when
she heard someone calling her. The icy CEO of Terence Group, who was
usually cold and composed, was a bit disheveled at the moment.
After just slapping Sarah out of anger, she left the Lowe residence. As she
was unfamiliar with the surroundings, she inexplicably found herself in the
western forest when she intended to walk back to the village entrance and
leave by car.
But just as she was about to turn back, a red serpent appeared beneath her
feet, startling her unexpectedly. The entire snake was bright red, as if
drenched in blood. Moreover, it possessed some kind of spirituality, coiling
itself on the path Mackenzie intended to take.
Having no choice, Mackenzie, who never backed down, had to make way for
this cold–blooded creature to ensure her safety. Alas, with this change of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdirection, she completely lost her way.
She attempted to make phone calls for help, only to realize that there was no
signal coverage in this area. It was too remote. To make matters worse, it
was getting dark, and snakes kept emerging along the roadside.
“What the hell is this place?!”
Mackenzie—who used to pride herself on her courage—gradually felt hints of
anxiousness seeping through. Fear of snakes was a natural instinct for many
girls, and seeing so many snakes all at once made even her feel a bit
uneasy, causing goosebumps to rise all over her body.
In a moment of carelessness, she tumbled down from the slope and landed
in a pile of snow, feeling extremely cold and uncomfortable.
“This is a snow tomb!” Someone suddenly responded to Mackenzie’s mutter
in the desolate woods below the slope. It was absolutely eerie!
“Who goes there?!” Mackenzie broke out in a cold sweat instantly, but she
remained calm on the surface. The CEO’s courage was now on display.
“impressive for a 12 million target, still keeping your composure in such a
situation, not bad!” That voice came again.
However, Mackenzie still couldn’t determine the other person’s location. With
that, she reached into her pocket.
Thirteen years ago, her father bought her a military knife while he was
abroad and gave it to her as a birthday gift. He admonished her, saying, “Girls
will encounter countless dangers in their lives, especially beautiful girls. You
must learn to protect yourself! This knife is called the Empress Blade. It may
be able to protect you when I can’t be with you.”
The Empress Blade barely came into use, but at this moment, she knew she
had to bring it out. After all, someone was willing to pay 12 million for her life.
“Mackenzie, where are you? Mackenzie!” Emmanuel’s voice came again from
above the hill.
The young woman breathed a silent sigh of relief. As long as the idiot was by
her side, she would have a strong sense of security. That was also one
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmreason she didn’t want to leave him.
Unfortunately, before she could respond, that ethereal voice spoke again. “I
wouldn’t scream and shout if I were you, Ms. Quillen. There are small snakes
the size of earthworms in the snow. They hate noise. If you shout, they will
immediately bite you and suck your blood!”
What?! Mackenzie freaked out at once and quickly jumped out of the
snowdrift.
The voice wasn’t lying. After she jumped out, small eerie heads indeed
emerged from where she had been, resembling worms in apples. One by
one, the small snakes crawled out slowly, sticking out their crimson tongues.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! The sound made her scalp tingle.
“N–No… This can’t be!” Mackenzie had heard of snake masters before, but
witnessing it firsthand made her realize that they were a hundred times more
terrifying than she had imagined.
