Chapter 597 Federick Is Hurt

Enna had a good relationship with the girl. When she saw the girl’s risky attempt, she frowned and asked, “Do you know what you are doing, Carole?” Her voice was stern.

“Of course, I know what I’m doing. Not only that, but I also know what you guys are up to.” Carole turned around and smiled at the man behind her. “You’re right, Uncle Macall. She is a cop!”

Uncle Macall?

The others were stunned, and Yelena was equally shocked. “He is your uncle?” she asked.

“Surprise, right? I am also a villager of this village.” Carole brushed her hair and said triumphantly, “It’s fortunate that Uncle Macall is a genius. He figured that there would be a cop among us, so he told me to pretend to be a student who was kidnapped. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have caught you red-handed.”

Carole was done with pretending. If Don hadn’t promised that she would marry Federick after things were done, she wouldn’t have accepted this mission. After all, this was a challenging mission. She could still remember the harsh slap she had to endure when being chosen by the villagers.

“Alright. I have told you guys the truth, so don’t think of running away. There is no way out anymore.”

“Yes.” The man behind Carole squinted his eyes and smiled. “All you have to do is behave and hand over those ladies. As for the cop…” The man’s face immediately turned fierce. “Kill her in the mountains!”

At that moment, Enna’s face turned pale. She hid behind the crowds as she trembled in fear. Ultimately, she was just a girl who had just stepped into society. Thus, she didn’t know what to do.

“I think we need to discuss this matter again, Chief Macall.”

So, he is the chief. No wonder he looks almighty, thought Elspeth as she scanned around the surroundings, observing the villagers.

“There’s nothing to talk about, Mr. Seanzy. You are being assigned here by the authority, so we can’t do anything to you. Why don’t you just stay here and marry Carole? If you are willing to oblige, I will let this matter slide.” As Don spoke, Carole blushed and lowered her head.

“However, I will need you to hand over the cop.” Don was unwilling to let go of Enna.

“What if I refused to?” asked Federick.

When Don heard his words, he laughed. On the other hand, the villagers gripped their knives tightly.

“You don’t have a choice.” Two villagers charged toward Elspeth and the others when his words fell, seemingly as if they were in for a fight.

At that moment, Elspeth and Callum stood in front. Seeing that the man was getting closer, Elspeth kicked the knife off his hand while Callum gave him a fatal punch. It was obvious that these skinny villagers were no match for them.

Don sensed something was wrong and quickly ordered, “All of you, get them. Let’s see how strong they can be.”

After all, he didn’t think that the duo would be able to defeat a bunch of people.

The villagers were frightened when they saw their companions fall to the ground. However, they remembered that they had outnumbered them. Thus, they braced themselves and charged toward the duo. However, the villagers were kicked to the ground before getting near the duo. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Soon, many people winced in pain as they lay on the ground.

“Such weaklings,” commented Elspeth as she stepped on a man’s chest, deliberately putting force on her leg.

The man yelped in pain and pleaded, “Please. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. It was Chief Macall who told us to do it. Please let me go. Don’t touch me. It hurts!”

“Stop moving and shut up!”

The man’s face twisted in pain, but he didn’t dare to scream out loud.

Don felt embarrassed. Never would he expect that he would raise a bunch of weaklings! However, he didn’t give up just yet. Before the others could react, he glanced toward a spot. In that split second, an arrow charged toward them.

“It’s an ambush!”

Elspeth quickly gathered the others and dodged the arrow. However, Yelena was a step behind. Just as the arrow was going to pierce through her head, someone stood before her and blocked the attack. Then, Yelena heard a grunt before the man fell onto her.

“Federick!” Looking at Federick’s pale face, Yelena had tears in her eyes. “What are you doing? Why did you help me?”

“You would be hurt if I didn’t step forward.” Seeing that she was in tears, Federick wiped the tears from her eyes. “I’m alright. Don’t cry. You look ugly when you cry.”

Yelena couldn’t believe he would still joke around when his life was in danger.

On the other hand, Elspeth and Callum looked around and noticed that someone was hiding on the rooftop while holding a bow. When Elspeth saw that person, a glint flashed across her eyes. She

grabbed a stone from the ground and threw it in the person’s direction.

“Ah!” The stone hit the man right in the eye as he wobbled and fell off the rooftop! With a loud bang, his head landed first on the ground, and blood was splattered everywhere.

“Some… Someone is dead!”

Although Don had seen dead people before, it was never his own villagers. Thus, everything was fine. However, now that one of his villagers was dead, everyone was tense, and Don knew things were getting out of hand. After some time, he cleared his throat and said, “Calm down. It’s just a dead person. Don’t worry about it.” He tried to take hold of the situation.

When Elspeth heard his words, she huffed coldly. “I never expect you to ignore the lives of your people.”

Initially, he had a hard time controlling the situation and felt hatred toward her after she ruined his plan. “Who are you? How dare you stick your nose into my business!”

Seeing that Federick’s injuries were severe, Elspeth didn’t want to waste more time. “Chief Macall, if you don’t let us go, I’ll assure you that you will never be able to become the chief anymore.”

As soon as her words fell, she dashed forward. Then, she put her knife by Don’s neck.

Don had never encountered such a situation. Moreover, a sharp knife was just by his neck. At that moment, he panicked. “Let’s talk it out now, missy. What do you want? Don’t worry. Take your time. I will understand everything that you said.”

“I have told you. Let us go,” replied Elspeth.

“This…” He hesitated before he said, “If I let you guys go, what will I say to my people?”

“If that’s the case, you all can rot in hell!” replied Elspeth as she pressed the knife deeper into Don’s neck.
