Chapter 541
The arrogant proclamation gained nothing but a sneer from Emmanuel. He
thinks this is a dream job. “Sorry, but I identify as a human, not a guard dog,”
he refused. Solemnly, he said, “You’d better have nothing to do with Bugsy’s
crimes. If I find out you have anything to do with it, you’re done for.”
The look of superiority on Dicky’s face froze. The lackeys behind him froze as
well, and then they burst into laughter.
“Did he just threaten us?”
“That little trash thinks he’s a hotshot!”
The men mocked.
Dicky pointed at Emmanuel in fury. “I’m trying to give you a chance here,
punk, so be grateful. I can kill you and your friend here without even trying,

Sarah quickly tugged on Emmanuel’s sleeve. She thought it wasn’t wise for
him to go head–to–head against Dicky.
Emmanuel was no fool. He was just furious at how superior Dicky thought he
was, but Sarah’s tugging calmed him down. He and Sarah were alone in this
place. If they got into a fight, he might lose to this guy. Not to mention he had
to keep Sarah safe.
“Finally relenting?” Dicky sneered. “Then get on your knees and swear fealty to
1. me. I can let you guard North Star Village in Bugsy’s place. Without my
permission, you are not to allow anyone entry, understand?”
Emmanuel said, “Sorry, but I’m not interested. I’m just here to find someone
and get a bit of herbs. We don’t really care for Eastern Star Mountain or
anything that happens in it.”
“You’re pushing your luck here, punk. You’re so dead.”
A pair of lackeys went ahead and tried to grab Emmanuel. They thought it
was a great honor to even be granted the chance to serve Dicky, even if it
was just being a guard dog.
Emmanuel didn’t step down. He would not stay in the mountains, let alone
assist these villains in their crimes. If they wished for a fight, then he would
fight until the very end.
Noticing a coming battle, Sarah quickly stepped in and smiled at Dicky. “Wait.
We can talk this out. If you just want someone to guard the entrance and
stay hidden from the world, perhaps I can do it.”
“You?” Dicky narrowed his eyes, staring at Sarah and frowning.
Emmanuel was shocked. Does she really mean that, or is she just saying that
to get us out of here?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeah, I can do it.” Sarah thumped her chest. “I know how to fight, and I come
from a powerful family. I can guard a village for you, but I have three
conditions.”
“You’re trying to negotiate?” Dicky glared at Sarah like she just said something
blasphemous.
Sarah was nervous, but she was not scared. Mustering up her courage, she
said, “Yeah. If you don’t agree to it, then kill us, but there will be hell to pay.”
Everyone froze, and Dicky laughed. “Fine. Tell me then, what kind of hell will I
pay?”
Steadily, Sarah said, “I am the second daughter of the Quillen family from
Yeringham. If we don’t go back within three days, my family will send a
search party for us. Once they know we’re dead, they and the WWS will
avenge us, and they will stop at nothing. You can try to fight, but once a war
breaks out, there is no way you can stay hidden anymore, and you will lose
more than you gain, and by a lot.
