'Good! Great!'
'Julien didn't agree with Burton's terms!'
How Sydney feared that Julien would make the deal with Burton!
They were two of Jackal City's commercial ports. It was hard for anyone to say no to that.
Fortunately, Julien didn't let her down after all.
"Excellent! Mr. Flint, you're such a noble man." Burton laughed and applauded mockingly. "But aren't you afraid I'll kidnap you too? Anyway, now our negotiation has fallen apart. I won’t release the woman, and you won't let me go, so I’d better kill you all to save the trouble in the future. What do you think?"
Sydney’s face instantly turned pale at Burton's words. And she hurriedly turned to Julien again and shook her head," Wooooooo!"
'No! Get out of here!' That was what Sydney wanted to say to Julien.
How she wished Julien could get her out of here, but she heard Burton had said earlier that Julien was alone. There was no way Julien could get her out of here by himself.
So now, Sydney would rather Julien get away and leave her alone.
Although Sydney didn't feel anything for Julien, she didn't want Julien to die for her.
If Julien died because of her, even if she died, she couldn't rest in peace.
Seeing Sydney act so emotionally, Julien guessed what she wanted to say. His eyes became tender for a moment, but soon he regained his cold expression and stared at Burton. "You wouldn't dare to kill me!" Julien's tone was certain, "You wouldn’t dare to kill me. You wouldn't even dare to kidnap me."
Immediately, Burton's face changed color.
Sydney fell silent at Julien's words in the meanwhile.
'What does Julien mean?'
'Why did Julien say Burton didn't dare to kidnap him or kill him?'
Just as Sydney was wondering, Burton asked, "Why do you think I wouldn't dare?" Burton's fist shivered a little. He curled his mouth and asked in a grim voice. "Because I know you." Julien replied nonchalantly," Because you're a bastard and you want to be superior to everyone. You are ruthless and cold-blooded. You made your way out of a bunch of bastards, but at the same time, you’re also a coward, and you're afraid to die."
Burton's pupils contracted a bit when he heard Julien claiming him as 'afraid to die'.
Julien continued, as if he did not notice the change in Burton's eyes, "Because if you die, you will lose everything. You know very well that if you kidnap me or kill me, my family will not let you off. They will do everything to take your life, and you cannot get away from it. Otherwise, you would have kidnapped me when I just arrived."
" Burton was speechless. His face had a complicated expression. His eyes were steadily fixed on Julien.
Sydney knew that Julien had seen through
Burton.
She had been wondering earlier why Burton didn't catch Julien when Julien showed up. She also wondered how Julien dared to come alone.
It turned out that this was the reason.
"So are you going to release Sydney now?" Julien stepped forward. "You have my word. Give me Sydney, and you can leave with your men. I won't go after you right away. You can go kill the man you want to kill, and I won't interfere. When you finish what you wanted, I'll deal with you then, but I won't take your life."
"Stop right there!" Burton yelled as he watched Julien approach him.
Julien paused for two seconds. He then continued to walk forward.
Seeing Julien not stop, Burton gritted his teeth. His handsome and delicate face was now twisted like a vicious ghost.
