Chapter 1187 The Lowe Family’s Motto
After that, Sage charged into the building like a gust of wind with guns in his hands.
He, too, was anxious.
He actually had a crush on Mackenzie, but because she was Emmanuel’s wife, he had
been suppressing his emotions. No matter what, he had to protect her for Emmanuel.
Meanwhile, a violent explosion echoed from the research laboratory on the fifth floor.
Boom!
Flames soared, and thick smoke billowed out of the doors and windows. The entire
building trembled.
“D*mn it!” Mackenzie gasped in shock after steadying herself. They must be trying to blast
through the protective glass and forcibly take the Heart of the Sun. I have to hurry! I have
to get there before they do!
Just then, on the other side of the corridor, there was another commotion, followed by
gunfire. Mackenzie knew that Ryder must have rushed out to divert the attention of the
two Holy Fire organization members.
She quickly ran toward the third-floor corridor, shocked by what she saw. Ryder had been
shot in the arm, blood
covering him, and he was in excruciating pain. However, this honest man didn’t utter a
sound.

“Die!”
Two Holy Fire thugs raised their guns, intending to give Ryder a quick death. Their eyes
were cold, indifferent to who he was. Their attitude was similar to that of the thugs in
Yeternia. Ruthless murderers.
Swish!
Acting before they could shoot, Mackenzie, who had taken off her shoes, silently
approached them from behind and viciously smashed her heels on the back of their heads.
“Ah!” Two simultaneous cries of agony. The heels had embedded into the back of their
heads.
Sheldon, who arrived later, was stunned. Like husband, like wife! Emmanuel’s wife is also
no ordinary woman!
“It’s you two who should die!” Taking advantage of the moment the two men turned
around, Mackenzie, skilled in Taekwondo, delivered a powerful kick to their vital points.
The two men collapsed to the ground. However, Mackenzie was not Emmanuel; even with
a sneak attack, she couldn’t deliver a lethal blow. One of the men lying on the ground
slowly raised his gun, aiming it at her.
Mackenzie’s eyes widened, realizing the danger.
The next moment, the opponent fired.

Bang!
At the same time, a burly figure stood in front of her, and a spray of blood blossomed like
flowers in front of her.
“Ryder!” Mackenzie’s heart raced.
Fortunately, she wasn’t a woman who went blank in times of trouble. It was now or never.
Seizing the opportunity,
she kicked the gun out of the man’s hand.
“This… This!” Sheldon, seeing the gun drop in front of him and another man making a
move, acted without thinking. He quickly picked up the fallen gun and rushed forward,
firing several shots at the two men on the ground.
“Ah! Ah!” He descended into madness, shooting and screaming simultaneously, his mind

thug.
“Enough, calm down!” Mackenzie’s command came through, and Sheldon finally stopped.
Turning around, he realized that Ryder was lying in a pool of blood.
Mackenzie crouched before him, nervously calling out, “Ryder, pull yourself together! How
are you?”
Ryder struggled to breathe. Due to the pain, large beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
However, this honest man didn’t utter a sound, afraid that he would attract enemies and
trouble for Mackenzie.
Now, hearing Mackenzie ask him, he forced a grin and said, “I… I’m fine, Ms. Quillen. You…
No need to worry about
me!”
He knew Mackenzie had important things to do, and he didn’t want to waste her time on a
small fry like him.
“How can you be such an idiot?! It was so dangerous just now. Why would you do that?”
Mackenzie sighed and pressed on his wound, trying to stop the bleeding.
“Hehe… The Lowe family… has a family motto: ‘The smallest… act of kindness is worth
more than the grandest intention.’ Ms. Quillen, Tommy and !… are in debt to you forever…
I would give my life for you…”
“Enough, don’t say anything. Conserve your strength!” Mackenzie was deeply moved, her
eyes becoming watery. She had always thought Ryder had no merits besides being
honest. He was ugly, clumsy, and even clueless about choosing a wife.
