Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 2149 The Ant on the Scale

“Your Holiness, our warriors are still searching. I will report it to you immediately as soon as we have news!” Anna said again.

Mackenzie replied firmly, “No, I need to see for myself also need to assess the battlefield situation and check on the innocent civilians there!”

Anna looked to Rhett, hoping he could dissuade her.

However, Rhett knew Mackenzie better than anyone. Every generation of the Saintess had a pure and compassionate heart.

Though this generation’s Saintess appeared colder than the last, she was still warm–hearted beneath her icy exterior.

Given the involvement of so many innocent lives, she was bound to inspect the scene herself, especially under her direct order.

Besides, he was curious to see the Serpent Altar for himself. So, he nodded to Anna, signaling his

agreement.

“Understood, Your Holiness!” Anna could only comply. Then, she gathered a small guard unit and escorted

Mackenzie and Rhett to the battlefield.

The scene was harrowing upon arrival. Corpses lay scattered across the ground, the air thick with the lingering heat of gunfire, surrounded by the ruins of buildings.

“So, this is war.” Mackenzie’s heart was heavy with sadness.

This was just a localized skirmish, yet it had resulted in thousands of casualties, and rivers of blood staining the ground.

She couldn’t imagine the devastation of a full–scale war between nations–mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

A profound sense of responsibility overwhelmed her. She finally grasped the weight of the saying, ‘With great power comes great responsibility.‘

Or rather, the greater one’s position, the greater the responsibility.

Those seated at the pinnacle of power must ensure peace and prosperity for the countless citizens under their rule. Otherwise, they had no right to occupy that position.

For the common people to enjoy peace, they must choose their leaders wisely.

“Anna, I order you to rescue every innocent survivor here who isn’t part of the Five Poison Sect!” Mackenzie suddenly commanded.
