Chapter - 1878

"Mr. Sixtus, is there no room for negotiation? If you can spare him, I'll serve you for the rest of my life-"

Nonetheless, Sixtus was determined and interrupted her, "Shut up! You're not qualified to bargain with me! Put her in jail and keep her under strict supervision. After we seize hold of the man, we'll punish them together!"

"Yes!"

Two of his men moved forward and were about to bring Emma to the jail.

At that critical moment, she endured the excruciating pain on her body and jumped beside Sixtus.

Then, she grabbed his neck with one hand and took out a pair of scissors with another, pressing it against his chest.

"Don't move! Otherwise, I'll kill him!”

In an instant, the crowd went into an uproar.

She's mad! How dare this weak woman,

who's at the bottom of society, threaten Mr. Sixtus? Is she trying to get herself killed?

The first reaction of the martial artists at the scene was to rush forward to save Sixtus.

"Stop!" she shouted again. "Whoever dares to take a step forward, I'll stab him. I've already warned you. My life is nothing compared to Mr. Sixtus. If I can bring him down with me, I don't mind dying."

Everyone present exchanged glances, hesitating.

To them, Emma was just a peasant.

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?"

Sixtus' subordinates did not dare to move forward, as they were worried that Emma might really stab Sixtus since she was desperate.

Once again, Sixtus ordered, "Get over here and save me. There's no need to bother about this crazy woman. Don't worry. Even if she attempts to kill me, I won't blame any of you."
