Chapter 385 Negotiations in Desperation.
The person behind the mask emitted a low, mocking laugh that was particularly irritating. Brisa was filled with anger and wanted to charge forward, but Freya held her back.
After all, there were already too many people surrounding their dozen or so cars.
Inken clenched his fists tightly, sensing that something was amiss.
He had previously studied the opponent’s strength when they attacked several times and had a rough idea. of their capabilities in Caltun.
However, today was different. It seemed like their strength and numbers had suddenly multiplied exponentially, which caught him off guard. The convoy, which could have been fully protected, had now become a bigger target due to the increased number of people.
“Freya, there are too many people on the other side. Something doesn’t seem right,” Inken whispered to Freya.
Freya nodded, her expression grave. “I know!”
She felt as though the other side had gone all out this time. Previously, their attacks were filled with tests. and schemes.
Freya narrowed her eyes, trying to figure out what was wrong. She suddenly had a feeling that the other side was very anxious. Was it just her imagination?
In the car opposite Freya, Strategist spoke again. “If you tell me where the book is and come with me, I’ll let these people go. How about that? I promise to treat you as an honored guest.”
Freya tightly pursed her lips.
“What about another option? I did mention that it was a deal. There are usually two options in a deal,” Strategist said with a smile.
“That would be me killing these people, breaking your legs, and taking you away in a sack,” Strategist said mockingly.
A Deal? Freya sneered. No wonder she had felt that the other side hadn’t attempted to kill her before. It turned out it was because she had saved their lives!
However, this life-saving favor obviously held limited weight.
“I have no choice but to go with you, but forget about that book,” Freya said with a serious expression. “I have already sent the book abroad, and I won’t be able to get it back so easily. If you trust me enough to let me return to the Kaufmann family, I can try to find a way to retrieve it”
Strategist let out a low laugh, mocking her. “Miss Kaufmann, are you joking?”
“In that case, I have no other options.” Freya looked at Strategist. “Even if you insist on getting that book, I truly don’t have it with me. I’m not scared of dying. But if I die, you will never find out where that book is,”
Her threat became more pronounced. “If I do this, I can’t protect the people around me, but I guarantee that even before you break my legs, I will already be dead!”
Killing others was not easy. In comparison, killing oneself was much easier.
Freya was certain that the other party did not want her dead and did not dare to let her die.
In the car, Jamie’s lips curled up beneath the mask, displaying a playful expression. Things were starting to get very interesting.
In this situation where she was completely disadvantaged, Freya was merely a bound rabbit, but this rabbit. actually had the courage to threaten him.
Indeed, she was meticulous and clever, quickly finding his weakness in this hopeless situation.
If he hadn’t killed Falcon and gained control of the organization, mobilizing so many people and equipment without permission would have caused Freya to have a chance to turn the tables.
However, he couldn’t let Freya die indeed.
After Jamie finished laughing, he tightly pursed his lips and his gaze became sharp.
Edward needed her, and they also needed her to find that book. All of a sudden, even he didn’t want her to die so easily.
Something so interesting shouldn’t be killed so easily.
Jamie had a mischievous thought. “Alright, since you’re coming with me, I will eventually find that book. But Miss Kaufmann, I heard that you are skilled. I’m worried that you won’t be obedient and run away in the middle of our journey. After all, I have already made concessions for that book, so shouldn’t you show. me some sincerity?”
Freya’s face turned cold. “What do you mean?”
“I’m afraid you’ll run away,” Jamie said, then sighed, “It would be a shame if these people died here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot rang out from behind Freya.
Freya’s heart tightened, and she turned around to look.
The second car that the RV had flipped over was now lying on its side in a deep ditch, and Michael was crawling out with blood all over his face.
His leg was injured, but his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Strategist.
“I recognize his mask. It’s him! He killed Eugene!”
His eyes became bloodshot when he saw the enemy who killed his brother standing right in front of him. He and his brother had no family, and they had relied on each other to survive all their lives.
After his brother died, his biggest purpose in life was to seek revenge!
The bullet just now had hit Michael’s leg.
Freya looked at Michael’s bleeding leg and immediately shouted, “Don’t kill him!”
The sound of gunfire did not ring out again, and Michael looked at Freya. “Miss Kaufmann, my life is worthless now. You don’t have to-”
Freya suddenly turned around and looked at Strategist, who was not far away.
He seemed calm and appeared to be waiting for something.
“Are you afraid that I will run away?” Freya gritted her teeth, whipped out the weapon she had on her, and aimed it at her left leg before pulling the trigger.
Her eyes were sharp, and the intense pain made her body tremble violently.
Inken and Brisa rushed over immediately. “Are you crazy?”
Freya stared at the person not far away from her. “Is this enough?”
Jamie didn’t expect Freya to be so determined, but this was also the outcome he desired.
The corners of his lips beneath the mask curled up with a smile, but he didn’t say anything.
Freya clenched her teeth and pointed the gun at her right leg.
“That’s enough.” The person finally spoke up.
You, come over here now. As for how to handle those weapons on your body, I don’t need to tell you, right?”
Freya promptly unloaded the weapons from her body and removed the bulletproof vest.
Inken grabbed her with a cold expression. “Don’t go. We can die together!”
Freya stared at Inken and lowered her voice. The pain in her left leg had caused her face to be drenched in cold sweat and her voice to tremble.
“Inken, you are the smartest and most leyel-headed person in The Green Flamation forum. You should know what is the best choice to make now. Acting recklessly will only cause everyone here to die.”
Brisa clenched her teeth and had no intention of listening to Freya. “Then let’s go down together!”
Freya glanced at Michael, who was also startled by the gunshot.
If he hadn’t crawled out just now to eliminate someone, Freya might not have needed to shoot herself.
Freya looked at Brisa and Inken. “You know, these people have not been showing any intentions to take my life, but if we resist them now, we will truly have no way out. If I follow him, you can live, and I can live too!”
“Freya!” Inken stared at her intently. This was a really hard decision.
He used to ridicule those who made foolish choices under the influence of emotions, but now that he was in this situation, he understood them.
Freya, Brisa, and Landon
These individuals were like siblings to him. How could he abandon his sister like this?
Freya patted Inken to reassure him. “As long as we’re still alive, we have a chance. I’ll wait for you to come and rescue me!
On the other hand, Strategist was getting impatient. “Enough talking. I’m running out of patience”
