Love at the Wrong Table - Season 6 Episode 41

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,

get it?”

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?

“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.
