News that Mackenzie and Ethan had not yet reached Congress quickly reached Emmanuel. Concerned that the Salem forces might regroup and launch another attack, he knew he couldn’t abandon his position. What
should he do?
“Commander, let Solana and I check it out!”
At this critical moment, Anna stepped forward and volunteered.
Emmanuel hesitated, then sighed. He had no better choice. “Then, I’ll leave it to you. Please ensure Mackenzie and Mr. Hale’s safety. Inform me immediately if there’s any news!”
“Understood!”
After saluting, Anna and Solana swiftly set off toward Congress.
Meanwhile, an unexpected event unfolded on Mackenzie’s side.
As they neared Congress, two figures suddenly appeared in their path.
One was draped in a red–and–black cape, while the other wore an exquisitely crafted black cloak embroidered with gold. Their presence alone was enough to unsettle anyone, but it was the man in the black cloak who radiated an overwhelming sense of authority. His stern expression and the three mysterious symbols on his forehead signified that he was no ordinary individual.
For these two to intercept them here, they must have had an extensive intelligence network–perhaps they were figures of immense power.
“Mr. Hale, be careful!” Mackenzie warned, her instincts flaring.
She didn’t brake but maintained her speed, knowing these individuals were not here with good intentions. Their attire immediately reminded her of Dark Night Island. But Dark Night Island had already been destroyed, so these men were likely high–ranking members of the Holy Trinity.
Especially the middle–aged man in the black cloak–his aura of dominance was something even Ethan lacked.
“Understood!” Ethan tightened his grip on the car handle:
Today marked the final day of the presidential election of Chanaea–anything could happen!
Mackenzie bit her lip and suddenly floored the accelerator to its maximum! Her car wasn’t the most powerful, but it still surged past 140 km/h in an instant. Normally, anyone standing in its path would instinctively dodge, yet the two men ahead remained motionless.
Seeing their unwavering stance, she had no choice but to swerve at the last second, attempting to bypass them.
Unexpectedly, the man in the red cloak reached out and smashed her window, though!

“Ah!” Mackenzie gasped in shock.

In that split second, a thought flashed through her mind–these two wanted to kill Ethan but had no intention of killing her!
Realizing this, she made a quick and wise decision–she hit the brakes!
Screech!
As expected, the man in the red cloak instantly tore the car door off with ease. His terrifying martial prowess left Mackenzie in utter shock!
It felt eerily similar to when she was kidnapped and taken to Dark Night Island–these people possessed superhuman abilities.
“Mr. Hale, be careful!” she shouted.
Ethan quickly ducked his head and tightened his grip.
Bang!
The car crashed into a roadside building.
Pedestrians nearby screamed in terror, instinctively running for cover, fearing an explosion.
Luckily, Mackenzie had braked at the last second, and Ethan had taken all necessary precautions. Though injured, he managed to push the door open and roll onto the sidewalk.
“Help him! That’s Mr. Hale!!” she yelled.
The man in the red cloak reached for her neck, but the man in the black cloak stopped him with a cold command. “Simu, show respect to the Lady Saintess.”
“Understood!” Simu immediately released her.
The black–cloaked man then ordered, “There are too many people here. Take the Lady Saintess and Ethan away.”
“Yes!”
Before the bystanders could react, the two men swiftly took Ethan and disappeared.
Mackenzie struggled, but with a mere flick of the black–cloaked man’s robe, she found herself completely immobilized! Incredible! Is this magic? Who exactly are these people?
Unable to break free, she was taken to a small hillside.
“My apologies, Your Holiness! Please forgive us!”
The black–cloaked man placed one hand over his chest and bowed deeply, displaying extreme reverence.
Meanwhile, Simu casually threw Ethan to the ground.

bowing with one hand over his chest, his narrow eyes gleaming.
Mackenzie’s heart sank. That meant she had already guessed the identity of the black–cloaked man!

Sure enough, Simu continued with a smirk, “This is the Great Saint King of the Holy Fire organization–the Holy King of hundreds of thousands of followers!”
Mackenzie turned her gaze toward the black–robed man, her eyes filled with astonishment! It is the Great Saint King himself who has come for me! No wonder his presence is so overwhelming, and he possesses such mystical powers!
As if reading her thoughts, the Great Saint King bowed once more. “I have come to escort Your Holiness back to the Holy Fire organization. It was my failure not to welcome you in person before. Your absence is my fault, for according to our doctrine, this is the duty of the Great Saint King.”
Mackenzie bit her lip and firmly rejected him. “Sorry, but I have no interest in returning to the Holy Fire organization. Let us go–we have urgent matters to attend to!”
The Great Saint King lifted his head, looking at her anxious expression. He replied calmly, “I’m afraid I cannot. It is my duty to bring Your Holiness back.”
“What exactly do you want?!”
Mackenzie’s expression turned fierce. She was also clever–immediately, she took a commanding stance. “As the Lady Saintess, I order you to tell me the truth right now! Otherwise, you are defying my authority!”
Simu clenched his jaw and looked at the Great Saint King.
However, the Great Saint King remained composed.
Throughout history, every Lady Saintess had been an extraordinary woman, and Mackenzie was no exception–her intelligence was clearly inherited.
Finally, the Great Saint King said, “Your Holiness, our goal has always been clear–it is written in our highest doctrine. And that is to establish a unified world governed by our laws, with Your Holiness as the supreme leader.”
He paused before continuing, “Only then will true peace come to this world, and our people will never again suffer oppression from outsiders.”
His words painted a grand and noble vision.
For a moment, even Mackenzie almost wavered! However, she quickly snapped back to reality. “That’s just dictatorship! And how can you guarantee that I’ll be the true leader and not just a puppet–just a figurehead like a constitutional monarch?”
This system was nothing but a step backward in history!
Mackenzie was well–educated-she wouldn’t be so easily deceived.
Yet, the Great Saint King remained unfazed, his face filled with sincerity. “As long as Your Holiness follows me back and swears loyalty to the organization in front of all its followers, I will immediately transfer all power to you. You will not be a puppet.”
