Chapter 1670
The Old Man
Mackenzie could not help but ask the question.
Hattie's eyes were full of sadness and helplessness. "My mother is also in Airspace Group and ranks higher than Yasmine!"
"Then, why won't she try saving you?" Mackenzie asked, puzzled.
Hattie's sadness deepened. "To her, Magnus and I are just unwanted kids. She only married my father for one reason and cut ties with the Zelinksy family after we were born. She no longer wants us."
"I see," comforted Mackenzie, who was sympathetic about Hattie's plight and grateful that Hattie trusted her enough to share her life story.
"Yasmine is targeting your unborn baby as she believes he'll turn into the King of the Dark Night someday. The baby might not come back with you if you head to the Dark Night Islands," warned Hattie in an attempt to dissuade Mackenzie from endangering herself.
The Old Man
"Oh," answered Mackenzie, recognizing the seriousness of the problem. "Get some rest here as you've consumed the special medicine. I have something to deal with."
She rose to her feet, not really needing to deal with anything but craving some time alone. She either had to watch Hattie die and never pry into her parents' secrets, or she had to risk her baby's safety for a gamble. Both choices unsettled her.
TU She felt exhausted on her return journey and asked her driver to park the car temporarily so she could get some air.
"Pull over, Wally."
"Alright, Ms. Quillen." Wally obeyed her request.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"Ms. Quillen, Emmanuel said not to move around!" reminded Lexi when helping Mackenzie from the car. Despite the numerous bodyguards around them, neither Emmanuel nor Sage were present. Regular bodyguards might not be effective against a powerful adversary.
The Old Man
"I'm okay," Mackenzie knew that her recent appointment as the Nuthana president meant she had not offended anyone yet, not to mention that Emmanuel had his formidable Grandmaster reputation. Anyone who dared provoke him would suffer terrible consequences, so she was not worried about assassins.
Mackenzie's stubbornness made Lexi hesitate, but the latter had no choice.
"Madam, I can feel something dark inside you, which can worsen if it's not dealt with," an intriguing old man suddenly appeared before them.
Lexi trembled, unsure of when he had arrived as she had not seen him.
Mackenzie had the same reaction, and sensed this was an extraordinary man who had somehow been waiting for her. Well, she just had to deal with this then.
Knowing it was unavoidable, Mackenzie settled right in front of his stall, which worried Lexi somewhat, but the latter did not dare speak rashly. He had long hair and a long beard, was clad in gray robes, and did not have a sage-like aura but a vaguely evil one.

abilities.
"Madam, see there?" the old man pointed to a bird nest in a tree where two birds were separating, one bird flying off by itself.
Mackenzie was shocked and curious about whether it was coincidental or deliberate.
"You were birds of a feather, but one of you had to leave first. Madam, the issue troubling you now has to be connected with your most beloved!"
Lexi shook after hearing that. That's amazing!
Mackenzie was skeptical about his mind-reading abilities, but it was still
surprising if he had staged this. For one, how had he been able to predict that
she would pull over here? She was going to see what he was about to say!
"You're right, sir. It is indeed related to my beloved.” She chose to be honest.
"My best friend and her friend require our assistance in going somewhere to save them, but we will be endangered if I go. Besides, I'm pregnant, and he
