Chapter 61
Sebastian clenched his fists. He wished he could tear the wicked woman before him to pieces.
“Fine. I’ll give you the amulet, but you have to let her go.”
“You’re in no position to negotiate with me. Hand over the amulet quickly. These people are getting impatient,” Elena said with a meaningful tone.
“Take it!”
Sebastian had no choice but to take out the amulet and throw it to Elena.
Elena was excited upon receiving the amulet. She then took out an identical amulet and slowly put the two amulets together as if they were one.
Following that, she took out the Seraphic Tear Pendant.
Elena laughed triumphantly while looking up to the sky. “The two amulets and the Seraphic Tear Pendant are finally together! The treasure is mine! Hahaha!”
The priceless treasure was hidden in a very mysterious place.
Rumor had it that only by collecting the two amulets and the Seraphic Tear Pendant could one find it.
Sebastian had gone through great pains to acquire the Seraphic Tear Pendant and had recently seized one of the amulets. However, in the blink of an eye, it all fell into someone else’s hands.
Yet, his current concern wasn’t the treasures. He looked at Elena and said, “I’ve given you what you wanted. Now you should let her go.”
Elena flashed a charming smile. “They say the Supreme One is a peerless genius of ancient and modern times, and at such a young age, his strength is already unparalleled. If I let go of the hostage now, wouldn’t you just take everything back immediately?”
“What do you want, then?” Sebastian was infuriated. He hadn’t expected this woman to be so difficult.
Elena thought for a moment while touching her lips with a finger.”
I have a perfect solution. If you cut off your arms or legs, you won’t pose a threat to me. I’ll naturally let her go then.”
“Don’t you think your request is too much? Cutting off my own arms or legs is tantamount to letting myself be slaughtered. I can’t agree to that,” Sebastian said without hesitation.
This woman was too cruel and utterly untrustworthy. Even if he did as she said, she might not release the hostage.
“If you don’t agree, I’ll hand your wife over to these men behind me,” Elena threatened.
“If anyone dares to touch a hair on her head, I’ll make sure they have no grave to lie in!” An astonishing murderous aura erupted from him.
“I hate being threatened. This woman is yours now. Do her in front of him!” Elena coldly ordered her men.
At her command, the hundred strong men behind her rushed toward Lillian like hungry wolves. Their crazed appearance resembled that of man-eaters.
“Stop!” Sebastian roared in anger.
He was overwhelmed with hatred at the moment. He wished he could tear these men to shreds. However, he didn’t act rashly. After all, Lillian was still in their hands. If he made a move, Lillian would never be spared.
Elena raised her hand to stop the men. She looked at Sebastian with a smile and said, “What do you say? Do you agree to my terms?”
“I will do as you say, but you must swear to let her go,” Sebastian said coldly.
Elena nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry. I, Elena, swear on the reputation of the Novastar Organization that as long as you cut off your arms or legs, I’ll definitely let her go.”
“I’ll trust you one last time. If you dare break your word, I won’t let you off.”
Sebastian closed his eyes. He couldn’t trust Elena completely, but he had no other choice.
“Hurry up and do it. While I can wait, these men behind me are getting anxious,” Elena urged with a sneer.
Sebastian clenched his fists. The next thing they knew, he lashed out and slammed his fist down hard against his knee joint.
The sound of breaking bones echoed throughout the area. Those present could hear it clearly.
Sebastian gritted his teeth and sat down on the ground. Then, he struck his other leg, breaking it with another loud crack.
Intense pain swept over him, and he was covered in a cold sweat.
However, he clenched his teeth and endured the pain without saying a word.
Elena applauded. “You’re a real man. I’m starting to like you.”
Sebastian said through clenched teeth, “I’ve done what you asked.
Now it’s your turn to keep your promise and let her go.”
Elena smiled brightly. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely let her go, but not right now.”
Sebastian’s expression changed drastically. His eyes were filled with rage. “How can you go back on your word? Are you treating your promises as nothing?”
Elena sneered, “I only promised to release her, but I never said when. These men behind me have been waiting for a long time. I can’t disappoint them, can I?
“Alright then. This woman is yours now. Just don’t play her to death.”
