If that happened then she would be done for! She knew that she could not fool them for long with her empty gun.
“Then I would continue to kill them all until I get the children! Do you think losing so many lives over some kids is important?” why? If they would have been normal traffickers or kidnappers then they would have tried to save their life first, thinking that they could always kidnap or lure more children later if they survived.
What would the money and business mean if they would lose their lives here? But these men.. They are ready to sacrifice all of them just for hiding the kids. It made her wonder what terrible truth they were hiding?
“Ha! You should worry about yourself. If you think that you can force us to tell the truth or we will spill the beans while lost in a conversation with you then you are wrong.
And I wonder why you are not shooting us? You were not this talkative when you have shot our comrades while hanging on the tree like a witch!
Come on, shoot me or I will attack you and kill you first.” Hazel could feel that the man was suspicious the way he was staring at the gun. If he realized that there was no bullet in the gun then she would be done for!
She had asked Lucian to carry more bullets for her since she did not have a pocket in the gown but he was gone and she did not know if she would be able to survive until he would come back.
Her grip on the gun tightened when the man tilted his head and took slow steps towards her. He was looking vigilant, ready to jump away and hide if she would shoot but how would she?
“I am only trying to negotiate. There is no benefit in killing others when money could do the work.
If you want wealth, I can give you plenty! Why are you so adamant in keeping a bunch of weak children that could not do much for you in the first place?
I am offering you more that can change your whole life.” she pointed at the necklace in her neck. They were shining rubies and sapphires that could cost a fortune.
She was sure it would be enough to buy a grand villa with only this necklace, not to forget the bracelet and earrings and the small gems in her dress.
Temptation could’ve been seen in the eyes of the greedy man. He stared at her jewels with shining eyes. If she would have bullets, that would have been her best chance to shoot him. But she could not do so now.
But it only showed that the bribe could work too. She only needs to press him further for the jewels.
She opened her mouth while pointing at her ears this time. When the man leapt into the air and landed right in front of her.
Her eyes widened when she saw him bending down to meet her eyes. His eyes were that certain madness that scared her. She felt her throat running die and the feeling that death could be right at this moment filled her heart.
“Crazy bitch? Why will I offer you your freedom for these stones, when I can get them all after killing you?
Do you think I am a fool to not realize it? I have given you so many chances yet you are not shooting me. It only means that you do not have any bullets left, right?” a creepy grin formed on his face when her face started losing her colors.
Though she tried to maintain her calm. But she knew lying was useless now. Even if she would say that was not true and she could still kill him with a gun, this crazy man would only ask her to shoot him then which she could not.
When she realized that she did not have any choice left, she held the gun tightly and attacked his forehead with it.
Due to the sharp edges and heaviness of metal, she could only pray that he would be injured enough to give her the chance to run away and hide.
But even when the pool of blood started to form on his feet, his grip on her did not loosen but his creepy smile only grew wider as if his doubts had been cleared.
The man picked her up like she was an empty sack and threw her away with full force.
Hazel staggered and fell on the ground at some distance. Her stomach got hit as she fell on her abdomen. She winced when the pain started to spread all over her body.
But before she could stand up, she felt a strong pain in her hair and opened her blurry eyes only to see him pulling her hair with full force.
He held her head on the palace and then pushed her on the wall so that her head hit it forcefully.
“Now do you know how it feels? Huh? You crazy bitch!
Do you think that you can walk into my home and demand me for things? Who do you think you are except a fool?
Now I will show you how I treat crazy bitches like you. I will beat you enough so that you go limp and then I will throw you in front of the angry mob of family members whose brothers you have killed.
Trust me they will not only break your body but your soul too and you will regret not only coming here but being born. But even when you cry and plead for mercy, you will only be given more punishment by those hungry beasts. And even that would not be enough.
Once they would be done with a rag doll like you. I will cut your limbs slowly and give you the most painful death you can always imagine.”
