“Elspeth, do you think you’re acting in a spy drama here? Sign the contract if you know what’s best for you, and I might beg Arthur to spare your lives.”
After all, Emma had a soft spot in her heart for Callum. Even if he had hurt her, she still felt that Elspeth, the vixen, had seduced him, and that was why he was so indifferent toward her. As long as Elspeth was dead, he would no longer be fascinated with that woman!
However, she had never thought about Elspeth’s death, but now that she suddenly thought of it, she was startled by the thought. Then, there was excitement that she had never felt before. She even wanted to kill Elspeth with her own hands and let Elspeth’s blood splash onto her face. In that way, she could feel the heat and ardor of Elspeth’s life passing.
Meanwhile, Elspeth naturally did not believe her words. After signing the contract, she would have no chance to negotiate terms with them.
So, she inquired, “Have you heard of Evil Wind Sect?”
The Evil Wind Sect? Isn’t that the mysterious killer organization? Later, Arthur asked suspiciously, “What is your relationship with that organization?”
“Heh… Arthur, with your meager knowledge, how dare you plan to murder both of us in this manner? You don’t even know who I am. How dare you attack us?”
“Okay, tell me quickly. Don’t drag it on. You’re trying to buy time, aren’t you? Don’t even think about it. The signals here are all intercepted by my jammers, and your men can’t find you.”
He already knew that her ring’s function was to track her location and for her call for help, so he set up a signal jamming system earlier. Moreover, he wanted to see how she could save herself!
“I am the founder of the Evil Wind Sect. That means that I am their boss. Now that you’ve offended me, do you know what will happen to you?” Elspeth smiled indifferently. Then, she continued, “As long as the Evil Wind Sect exists, and as long as only one of their members is alive, they will hunt you down for life. Arthur, you might as well try it and see if what I said is true.”
Then, she put her hands behind her back, groped around, and finally touched two small cylinders. Feeling them, she felt a lot more at ease.
“How can the founder of the Evil Wind Sect be kidnapped so easily by me? Are you kidding me?” Emma did not know the Evil Wind Sect’s power and thought Elspeth was only making up nonsense. In the end, Emma could not help but taunt her.
“Okay, then I won’t continue to talk about it.” Elspeth curled her lips into a smile. “Are you certain you will let us go after I sign the contract?”
Arthur nodded in agreement upon hearing that.
However, Emma wanted her to die, so she gave him a dissatisfied look, but he returned her a comforting look.
“Okay, then I’ll discuss it with Callum.” Elspeth kneeled, touched his wound lightly, and whispered, “Callum, are you still conscious?”
“Don’t sign it.” Although he was hurting all over, he could still maintain his reasoning and consciousness.
Afterward, she touched his face and said, “I know. I’m trying to tell you that I want to jump off here. My men are nearby, and they’ll be here in a minute when I set off the fireworks. Since they still need you to sign the contract, they won’t harm you for the time being. I can still buy you time by jumping into the sea. Callum, I love you.”
After saying that, she stretched out her right hand and set off two fireworks toward the sky. One meant an emergency, while two meant it was a life-and-death situation!
Taking advantage of everyone’s shock at the fireworks, Elspeth jumped into the sea.
Callum stood up abruptly, which caused his wound to split, and severe pain shot through him. He simply watched her jump into the sea helplessly as there was nothing he could do!
Still, Arthur did not expect her to jump into the sea, but it was a good outcome, too, now that nobody knew if she was dead or alive.
“What an interesting woman! Before she meets her death, she even sets off fireworks to celebrate her death.” Emma smiled with disdain.
Elspeth isn’t a good swimmer, so she will likely drown if she jumps into the high tides. Then, Callum closed his eyes in agony, and while everyone else was watching the fireworks, he also jumped into the sea!
