Chapter 542

Chapter 542 Dicky frowned, and Emmanuel cheered for Sarah in silence. She’s as brave and wise as her sister, but she never shows it. “Very well. State your terms.” Dicky was not as arrogant as he was before. Emmanuel guessed that Dicky held some power around here, but he was not the top dog. If a war did break out as Sarah said, then he might have to suffer for it. Sarah said, “One, I will never bow to you, nor am I your servant. We are partners. Two, we will guard the village for you, but you cannot order us Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findηovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. around, nor will we do anything criminal. Three, you must give me some herbs every year as payment.” Once again, Emmanuel was impressed by Sarah’s guts and brains. She’s just like Mackenzie. No wonder they’re sisters. Fury flared in Dicky’s eyes. How dare she impugn our authority? Bugger would never talk to us like that. However, Dicky wasn’t as stupid as to kill them off. Emmanuel and Sarah were not like Bugsy. They had the chips to negotiate. Instead of refusing the terms, he asked, “Who’s Claude to you?” “He’s my senior. I’m a part of the Divine Valley,” Emmanuel answered, using his faction’s name as defense just like what Claude said. Dicky paused for a moment, a conflicted look filling his face. Emmanuel noticed that his arrogant look had fully disappeared. Guess the master has quite the reputation here. “Fine, I accept your terms, but a few warnings.” Dicky gave Sarah a snarl. “If you fail to guard the village and let any outsiders in, I will punish you. I can give you some herbs, but not more than thirty every year. Push your luck and you’ll regret it.” Sarah nodded. “Deal.” She and Dicky talked the details of the partnership out while Emmanuel watched from the sidelines. He didn’t expect Sarah to be this courageous and smart, and it changed his perception of her a lot. He used to think she was just a quiet woman who wanted nothing, but she actually had ambition too. Once the negotiation was done, Sarah got the flower she wanted. They couldn’t go further into the place, nor could they get into the botany. When morning came, they were chased down the mountain. The moment they were out of the walls, Emmanuel asked, “Can you walk now, Sarah? Sarah tried to move her legs and she frowned, but she smiled at Emmanuel. “I think so. Just hold me while I walk, Emmanuel, and I should be fine.” “Sure.” Emmanuel nodded. As long as he didn’t have to hold her in his arms or carry her on his back, he didn’t mind. He’d be uneasy if he got too close to Sarah. Maybe he was worried Mackenzie might get upset. Search the FindNovel.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
