A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 2127 Testing the Poison

At the base of the mountain…

Military tents were already set up, dotting the snowy ground with patches of green, like small flowers blooming in the frost.

Mackenzie had just stepped into one of the tents when Libby stumbled in after her, her face full of panic.

“Mackenzie, has Mr. Quintus gone in yet?”

“He has,” Mackenzie replied.

Then, she quickly moved to steady Libby, who could barely stand. “Libby, you’ve been malnourished for too long. Your body is far too fragile for a place like this You shouldn’t have come.”

Behind them, Claudette and Laura entered the tent. Neither of them seemed to agree with Mackenzie’s

assessment.

Malnourished? How could a woman who’s malnourished have a chest like that?

“I want to save my sister! If I don’t go in, how will Mr. Quintus know which one is her?” Libby asked anxiously.

“Don’t worry,” Mackenzie reassured her with a serious tone. “If your sister is alive, we will save her. We’ll rescue every innocent person before we blow the Serpent King’s hideout to bits.”

Libby nodded, though her worry for Quintus‘ safety was still evident.

However, Mackenzie didn’t have time to share her concerns. She immediately called Rhett and Anna into the tent.

“Rhett, quickly issue an order,” Mackenzie instructed. “Everyone must carry a gas mask at all times! But those patrolling outside shouldn’t wear one.”

Her command confused everyone.

Anna couldn’t help but ask, “Your Holiness, why such an arrangement?”

“This was Magnus‘ advice before he went in,” Mackenzie explained with a calm smile. “He didn’t go into detail, but I understand why.”

As she spoke, her eyes met Rhett’s.

Rhett immediately understood her meaning and followed up, “But what if the poison is too potent for us to counteract? What then?”
