Love at the Wrong Table Chapter 2120 Libby, Who Loves Quintus Finiched "Claudette, listen to this! Haha, it's not my fault, right? Quintus laughed smugly. "Even Libby agrees that I'm right, so you can't blme!" Claudette rolled her eyes. Quintus' ability to stay single was unmatched-even ordinary men had it better than him. He was no match for someone like Emmanuel "If Mackenzie isn't here, I'm leaving." Quintus walked off.
Libby watched him retreat, looking as though she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Claudette approached her, gently wiping away her tears "Libby, don't mind my brother. He's just an oblivious brute. My aunt once toldthat, in his world, there are only two kinds of people-Mackenzie and everyone else." Libby quickly took the tissue from her, forcing a smile. “Claudette, I'm not crying. It's fine. Your brother does have good taste. Mackenzie is a hundred times more beautiful than me. But doesn't she dislike him?" "Of course she does!" Claudette replied matter-of-factly "Mackenzie has good judgment-there's no way she'd like someone as clueless as him." "Well..." Libby hesitated, fiddling with her fingers. "I actually think he's pretty great. He's loyal and doesn't show interest in other women. Isn't that dependable?" Claudette was momentarily speechless but then gave it sthought. She had to admit that Libby wasn't entirely wrong. Still, she asked in surprise, "Libby, don't tellyou actually like my brother? He's so clueless, and he's hurt you several times!" "But he saved my life!" Libby blurted out quickly. "If it weren't for him, I'd have been defiled by those bandits and sacrificed to the Serpent King. My fate would've been unimaginable!" "Why are you always defending him?" Claudette stared directly at her. "Do you really like him? He's a handful!" "Erm..." Libby's face turned crimson as she bit her lip. "Do you think he knows you're always badmouthing him behind his back?" "Uh..." Claudette's face reddened as well, realizing she had lost the argument. "I'm not badmouthing him," she quickly defended. “I'm just telling the truth!” "Hmph! Either way, you can't badmouth him anymore. If you do, I'll tell him you're always sabotaging him!" Libby smirked, turning the tables.

Claudette's gaze fell on Libby's well-developed chest, and jealousy bubbled inside her. How does she even manage to grow like that? Doesn't it feel heavy?A childlike face with... well, those.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie had just finished discussing essential matters with Magnus.
1/3 Tue, Jan 14 Chapter 2120 Libby, Who Loves Quintus "Magnus, how can you be so sure the Five Poison Sect will retaliate here?" Magnus responded confidently, "Just look at the timing The Five Poison Sect doesn't know we're heading to the Serpent's altar. Considering the geography, if they don't make their move here, they'll risk us reaching the city, and they'll lose their opportunity entirely." Mackenzie nodded, finding his reasoning sound.
Magnus smiled. "Sometimes, you just need to think from the enemy's perspective to predict their moves. If you were them, wouldn't you do the same? All we need to do is stay here for a few days-it's only a matter of tbefore they strike." Hearing this, Mackenzie suddenly understood. As long as they stayed in this town, the Five Poison Sect would be bound to act.
Mackenzie gave everyone sfree tthat afternoon, with dinner planned at the hotel in the evening. The town offered plenty of entertainment, and everyone happily dispersed.
Mackenzie, Rhett, and a few members of the Wolf Warrior Unit headed to the town's entrance to personally invite the guards on duty to join them for dinner.
"Thank you for the invitation, Ms. Quillen, but our duties require us to stay at our posts," the guards replied.

"This is simple. If you trust my men, I'll have them take over the watch tonight," Mackenzie offered enthusiastically.
No man could resist the invitation of such a beautiful woman. Besides, Mackenzie had recently risen to facross the West End. Sharing dinner with such a legendary beauty was a delightful prospect.
"Alright, Ms. Quillen. With such a kind offer, it would be rude to refuse. Please have your men take over the watch. If they notice anything unusual, let us know immediately," the guards' squad leader agreed.
"Of course!" Mackenzie readily agreed and promptly assigned a Wolf Warrior Unit to guard the town gate. The long winter night settled in. Not long after dusk, dozens of shadowy figures appeared on the road leading into the town. They hid in concealed spots, observing the situation at the gate.
The leader, a man with purplish-blue skin and strange tattoos, emanated an ominous aura.
