70. Very moved, and then rewarded
The tip of the sword pierced Benita's skin, leaving a drop of blood along the blade.
Naomi stood there, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
She could not give up Benita's life, but she would not be stupid enough to leave her life and death in the hands of the other party.
"How can you guarantee that I will let us go after I discard my weapons?"
Raleigh smiled sinisterly:
"I can't guarantee that if I let you escape, I won't even be able to save my life, but I can guarantee that at least you won't die now.
"You are my property. If I kill you, I will also be punished."
Even if they surrender, they will only be able to live longer. If she takes action, at least one of them will survive.
Naomi tried to convince herself this way.
But she can't do it.
Naomi sighed:
"You win, I give up."
Naomi let go and let the weapon fall to the ground.
Raleigh did not let down his guard and continued:
"Kick the dagger aside."
Benita saw everything.
Because of her difficult life in the past, her understanding ability is much stronger than that of children of the same age.
In her opinion, as long as Naomi doesn't care about her life or death, she can easily kill Raleigh and escape from here. No one will know that the famous female thief Naomi abandoned a poor man in a dark basement.
girl.
But she did not choose to sacrifice herself. No matter whether the other party wanted to find another way to save her, or really gave up the struggle, she made a choice.
She chose Benita.
This is an unfair world. Her parents abandoned her, and no one cared about her except her sister and teachers. The boys bullied her for fun. She had always listened to her sister, but she was still caught by the bad guys and even bled to death.
This is an unfair world. When a weak thief is caught by bad guys, no one will save her. It seems that the good things she has done are completely meaningless. She could have escaped and fell into a desperate situation because of herself as a burden.
Everything is so bad. The world is just as Benita imagined, but there are also many people she has never imagined. They are either in groups or alone, fighting against evil and injustice.
Naomi kicked the dagger away, but instead of kicking it to the side, the dagger rushed towards Raleigh's face.
The woman leaned down and rushed towards Raleigh.
Her target is Benita, and she does not intend to give up on the girl, nor does she intend to capture her without mercy.
Raleigh swung the sword forward against the girl, knocking the dagger away.
As the sword leaves Benita, strong inertia restricts its movement.
It was too late to retract the sword and threaten Naomi again, but it could continue to cut forward.
The rogue nimbly dodged weapons while running. The long sword passed through the outside of her right arm, and a narrow blood mark appeared. The skin and flesh were opened, and the bones could be vaguely seen.
But Naomi is still moving forward, and she will meet Benita soon, but she is still a little short of it.
boom!
The underground door was opened, and boots stepped onto the stairs.
A substantial feeling of coldness instantly filled the room.
Both parties froze on the spot, keeping their original postures motionless.
The person who came was wearing a mask that was familiar to everyone present.
Raleigh showed a flattering smile:
"Sir, they somehow obtained weapons and killed my other companions in an attempt to escape. Fortunately, I stopped them desperately."
"Desiree" walked up to Raleigh.
Raleigh felt something was abnormal, and quickly handed the girl out in his arms, saying with a trembling voice:
"Sir, we have not let down our guard. The influx of this weapon has absolutely nothing to do with me."
"Desiree" picked up the girl.
Benita did not try to escape, but turned to look at Naomi, opened her mouth slightly, and said two words silently:
Run!
Then Benita jumped on "Desire", hugged his thigh and refused to let go, and then bit his outer thigh with a firm bite.
She didn't expect that she could really block Desire's actions, but she just hoped that the other party would vent his anger on her because of her actions and create a chance for Naomi to escape.
If she couldn't escape all of them, at least she hoped that she could save others like Naomi.
Naomi did not take the opportunity to leave, nor did she anger "Desire", but shouted:
"Don't hurt her, she's just a child. If anything happens, come to me, no matter what you do..."
"Desire" groaned slightly in pain:
"ah."
Raleigh was stunned. This was not the voice of an adult.
"It's really touching..." the masked man sighed, "Lord Tyr asked me to take over the Rat Hat Gang temporarily, and others will come to continue Desire's work later."
Raleigh and the others, who have access to the work of transporting blood sources, are naturally not only the Rat Hat Gang, but also fringe members of the White Lion Club.
Raleigh opened his mouth blankly:
"Where's Lord Desire?"
Hewen said warmly:
"He died, he died miserably."
Raleigh wanted to say something more, but Hevin had already inserted the hand that turned into a crampon into his chest.
He slowly fell down while keeping his eyes wide open at the end, as if he didn't understand why the other party wanted to kill him.
Hevin's sudden act of killing his men made everyone tremble with fear, and Benita unconsciously opened her mouth.
He looked at the remaining three people and touched his chin:
"I am very touched by your self-sacrifice. How should I reward you?"
Naomi smiled stubbornly:
"Hmph, stop being so hypocritical. You've already been silenced by assassins. Do you want to reward us with a peaceful death?"
Hewen said:
"No, I plan to reward you with freedom."
He squatted down and patted Benita's back gently.
Naomi exclaimed:
"don't want."
Hewen comforted softly:
"Kid, it's okay, the bad guy is dead."
Benita stared blankly at the iron mask, unable to believe that everything ended like this.
Naomi stared at Hevin, afraid that he would suddenly hit Benita on the girl's back chest like he just did.
Hewen stood up again:
"Desire's behavior was not our intention. Someone will come here soon to take over his job, and you will be free soon."
Naomi asked suspiciously:
"Why don't you just let us go."
Hewen said:
"Of course, to ensure that you don't talk nonsense after you go out, we need to do some tricks on your brain, but I can guarantee that it is harmless."
He is only temporarily taking Desire's place.
Although Tyr invited him to take over the Rat Hats, he declined, recommending another deputy.
Mary Anne will soon arrive, continue her activities as Desiree, take control of the underground organization, and she will let them all go after ensuring that no one can reveal the secrets of the White Lions.
