While Macsen was talking, his subordinate reached Leia and grabbed her neck with one hand. A light was reflected on the shiny machete; it seemed he was about to slash Leia.
Frightened, Leia hunched and screamed in terror. "Ah, no! Save me, Liam! Ren, save me!"
"Stop!" Reia yelled at Macsen, anxious. "What do you want to let us go? Tell me, I'll do it!"
At first, she was carefree. She was fine even if she got killed and couldn't be bothered to resist. However, she grew restless since her friend was about to be harmed. She would rather take Leia's place.
"Stop stalling for time. You've used this trick too many times tonight. Do you think I'll be fooled again?" Macsen sneered. "You're too vicious and nearly bit off my neck. I'm just avenging myself!"
"Then, you're asking for trouble!" Renee's gaze grew sharp. "Listen. If you harm her, you'll die very miserably right away!"
"Hahaha! Stop bluffing!" Macsen laughed. "People who can save you now can't even protect themselves. Plus, this jetty is full of my men. I'm curious how you're going to kill me…"
When he stopped laughing, his gaze turned cold. "Do it!"
The machete was close to Leia's scalp, which was about to be cruelly skinned.
At that critical moment, a loud gunshot reverberated in the air. The person holding the machete was shot in the hand, and dropped the machete to the ground.
The man's voice came from outside of the crowd. He sounded casual but full of dominance.
"Who's here?" Leia, having survived the crisis, became very curious.
However, she couldn't move because she was tied up with the others. Naturally, she couldn't see where the voice came from.
The next second, someone with a familiar voice rushed toward her quickly.
