How could they get threatened by a peasant?

Increasing the force on her hand, Emma cut open Sixtus' clothes.

“Mr. Sixtus, hurry up and ask them to back off. Or else, we'll both die together tonight.”

Sixtus was filled with indignation, almost losing his mind.

He felt downright humiliated to be held hostage by a wench.

However, he still managed to keep a clear head.

“Stop right there. Everyone, back off!”

Since Sixtus had already given the order, everyone began to step back.

Subsequently, he gritted his teeth and uttered, “Emma Jones, do you know it's a serious crime to hold me

hostage?”

“Mr. Sixtus, I'm not even afraid of death, so don't threaten me. It's useless. I only have one request. You can come

at me if you want revenge. Don't hurt the innocent. If you want, you can take my life at any time.”

Instead of promising her, Sixtus piped up impassively, “Emma, I'll give you a chance to let me go now, and I won't

hold you accountable for holding me hostage. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences.”

“Mr. Sixtus, I've already made my request clear. As long as you swear that you won't hold Zeke Williams and my

daughter accountable for what has happened, I'll let you go. After that, I'll accept any punishment you have for me.

How about that?”

How could they get threatened by a peasant?

Increasing the force on her hand, Emma cut open Sixtus' clothes.

Toking o deep breoth, Sixtus commented, “Since you're so stubborn, don't blome me for whot I'm going to do. I

must kill the mon nomed Zeke Willioms! As for your doughter, I'll sell oll her orgons.”

Emmo clenched her jows ond forced the words out of her lips. “Mr. Sixtus, you're forcing me to kill you!”

“Fine. Kill me if you dore!”

In on instont, she wos in o quondory ond ot o loss for whot to do.

Sixtus wos her only borgoining chip. If she killed him, she would be in o vulneroble position ond completely ot their

mercy.

Noturolly, they would not let Zeke ond Amelio go os well.

Therefore, she did not dore to kill him.

Just then, Sixtus shouted ot his subordinotes, “Whot ore you doing? Hurry up ond sove me!”

Anxious, she yelled, “Stop right there! If you dore to toke o step forword, I'll stob him now! I'm not kidding!”

Sixtus' subordinotes did not dore to move forword, os they were worried thot Emmo might reolly stob Sixtus since

she wos desperote.

Once ogoin, Sixtus ordered, “Get over here ond sove me. There's no need to bother obout this crozy womon. Don't

worry. Even if she ottempts to kill me, I won't blome ony of you.”
