Chapter 2163 Talking to Maestro Moretti
Emmanuel frowned even deeper.
Since Sage’s team had arrived in Riverhaven, the dark gure must have broken through the circle of protection of the squad and forcibly taken Caden away
People with such strength were “ken Caden
rare.
“Who on earth is it?” Ignoring his serious injuries, Emmanuel struggled to get up and said, “I’m going there now!”
“No, Commander!” Albin advised, “You’re seriously injured and must rest properly to heal. The prime minister of Shoiya and a delegation will visit Chanaca in two days. Mr. Hale will represent Chanaea when meeting them. You’re ordered to ensure Mr. Hale’s safety throughout the process.”
“The Shoiyans are visiting?” Emmanuel’s brows tangled together.
How convenient. It can’t be coincidental. What should I do about Caden?
Meanwhile, at the Serpent Lair in the West End.
Rhett and Anna accompanied Mackenzie to search for the missing Quintus and Solana near the Serpent Altar.
They didn’t expect to find a secret passage there.
Based on the signs of struggle, Rhett speculated the Serpent King had lured Quintus and Solana away.
Worried about Mackenzie’s safety, Rhett and Anna insisted on summoning a hundred–person team before continuing to search the secret passage.
After half a day of searching, Mackenzie discovered the secret passage leading to a stone hall in the mountains.
If they had visited the hidden Summerton Family, they would have been surprised to find that the two stone halls were similar in style.
“No wonder it’s difficult to find the headquarters of the Five Poison Sect. It’s hidden in a cave!” Mackenzie exclaimed when she exited the passage.
Rhett interjected, “It lives up to its reputation. The style reminds me of the Holy Trinity.”
Anna complained, “What was Quintus thinking? Did he and Solana chase after the Serpent King alone?”
Mackenzie carefully examined the stone hall. The torches on the walls indicated people lived there.
The Serpent King deliberately lured Quintus and Solana there, and the situation wasn’t ideal.
“Be careful, everyone. Don’t search alone. Stay with your team and be on guard! Bring the reinforcements in!” Mackenzie ordered.
They had reached the enemy’s lair. She feared their enemies would take them down one by one.

Despite their caution, the constantly changing mechanisms still separated them.

“Your Holiness, be carefull” Rhett and Anna stayed close to Mackenzie, préventing her from being isolated. They felt lumps in their throats like they readily fell into a trap.
Meanwhile, Magnus and Hattic led a team into the Serpent Altar after learning Mackenzie had personally gone out to search for Quintus.
Seeing the bottomless passage, he shook his head and forced a smile. “D“mn! We are doomed! Things are getting worse.”
Hattie had a bad feeling.
Before she could speak, Laura comm
behind them, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Claudette asked, “What’s wrong? Are you worried about something?”
Magnus nodded. “Our enemies have a strategist who can plan ten steps ahead. They even know Mackenzie’s character and set traps accordingly-”
Hattie cut him off. “Is Mackenzie in trouble? We need to save her!”
Magnus wasted no time in ordering,
“Notify Eve. Have her people surround the area and put heavy weapons into launch mode. We must show our enemies we don’t fear death.”
“What?” His words shocked his companions.
He ignored them and instructed the messenger, “Go and find Eve! If we want Mackenzie to survive, everyone must follow my orders!”
“Yes, sir!” The messenger rushed out to find Eve.
”
“We won’t go in. Let’s wait outside.” Magnus abandoned the plan to
achter the tunnel.
His companions understood entering would only end up in a trap and become their enemies‘ leverage.
On the other side, Mackenzie encountered two familiar faces. They were Isabella and Rosa.
“Watch out, Your Holiness!” Anna stepped forward to shield Mackenzie.
Rhett crossed his arms. He was alerted but did nothing in particular after he sensed Isabella’s powerful aura and realized her power was on par with his.
If they engaged in a battle, he couldn’t guarantee he could outmatch her.
Mackenzie signaled for Anna to step back, and she walked over to greet the other pair.
She knew very well that greeting her group was the pairs sign of not wanting to fight them. Otherwise, the pair could have snuck on them.
“Maestro Moretti, it’s nice to see you again!” She slightly bowed to greet them.

“Likewise Isabella returned the gesture. “Ms. Quillen, you’re truly remarkable. The Five Poison Sect has finally met its formidable opponent and has to resort to underhanded tactics. We are ashamed to admit that.”
“Maestro Moretti, you flatter me. Besides, all is fair in war. It’s justifiable as long as it leads to victory.” Mackenzie praised.
Their conversation weirded the crowd out.
“I never would have thought the renowned Maestro Moretti is the leader of the Five Poison Sect,” she continued.
Rhett and Anna were horrified to hear that.
After all, Isabella was raising funds for the refugees in the West End not long ago.
“I have a request.” Isabella gave a tacit admission. She cut to the chase, saying, “Please withdraw your troops, Ms. Quillen. You don’t have to exterminate the Five Poison Sect.”
Mackenzie couldn’t help but chuckle. She shook her head, telling Isabella “no“.
Isabella scrutinized her.
Rosa chimed in, “Mackenzie, don’t be so stubborn! Leave some room for flexibility to smoothen the future. I promise I’ll listen to you from now on, okay?”
Rhett and Anna didn’t know her relationship with Mackenzie, so her words confused them.
Mackenzie glared at her and shushed her.
Isabella also glanced at her, signaling her not to disrupt the flow.
Rosa pouted. “If you don’t agree, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave here alive. Emmanuel will be devastated.”
“Is that so?” Mackenzie turned to Isabella. “Are you going to kill me?”
Her
eyes
were full of doubt.
She refused to believe the opera master and kind woman who raised funds for the victims was bad.
