The only person he had in his heart in this life was Sabrina. However, this girl in front of him was different. Her life was too pitiful. She was still a very pure, inexperienced, and simple young lady in other aspects. That night when Isadora had told Sabrina about her own past experiences, Holden had heard it all clearly. From the bottom of his heart, he felt that this girl was a weak person. No matter how bad Holden was, he would never bully the weak. Holden did not know what he was feeling in his heart.
He sighed and smiled, then shouted suddenly." Malvolio Yeatman! Are you certain that you want to kill me? You have to think it through. There are no doovers in this world! You have indeed caught the best chance. Now is the moment when Sebastian is at his weakest. However, why do you want to take down South City? What you want is to have control over South City. If you want to control South City, you first need someone to support you, for example, the matriarch of the Ford family, Rose Quinton. Malvolio, have you ever thought about that? You're a robber, a burglar, and a vagrant. Why would you know anything about this? Forget it. I won't talk to a simple-minded bumpkin like you anymore!"
Isadora was stunned. "Holden Payne, do you not want t o live anymore?" "I never wanted to live in the first place! I just did not want you to be the one to kill me and let you bear the sins! You are a girl with a miserable life. It's good on you to have grown up and learned to love someone. Let's not leave you traumatized. I'll have Malvolio get another person over to kill me," Holden replied.
"You...how did you know that I...have feelings for you?" Isadora asked.
Holden smiled gently. "Silly girl."
Isadora instantly burst out crying. "Holden, I...I truly... like you. I had never liked any man other than my brother. I feel that I am not worthy to like anyone."
Holden smiled. "You're very sweet. Don't cry anymore. Your brother will be here soon. It's not good for you to be like this."
Just as Holden said that, he heard footsteps outside. Isadora immediately wiped off the tears on her face.
When Malvolio saw Isadora and Holden looking at each other, Malvolio asked, "What's going on, Isadora? This thing is refusing to be killed?"
Isadora nodded. "Yes, Malvolio. He said he can help you. I don't believe him."
Malvolio laughed. "I heard what he shouted just now. This boy is right! In terms of management, he indeed i s better than us."
Malvolio looked at Holden again. "What do I have to do for you to submit to me?" "Malvolio, to be honest with you, as long as you get me ashore, I will have the ability to fight against you. When the time comes, you, the hunter, just might be hunted. Maybe I might be the one to kill you in one fell swoop in the end instead. Therefore, you have to consider this matter carefully!" Holden said.
Malvolio was speechless. There was a pause before he smiled. "You're surprisingly honest!"
"Of course!" Holden said. "So,it's better for you to kill m e. If it's a solo fight, do you think your sister is a match for me? Malvolio, if you want to kill me, do it yourself!"
Malvolio only smiled. "I don't want to kill you anymore. I had thought about it. You truly might be useful to me after you get ashore. After I have finished using you, I will kill you. When the time comes, I will still let my sister kill you. I'd like to see if my sister is a match for you!"
Holden was relieved. Of course it was better for him to not die, that meant that he still had a chance. As long a s he still had a glimmer of hope, he wanted to save Sabrina and get her out of there. Sabrina was too pitiful. She was almost nine months pregnant. If any mishaps were to happen to her, then two lives would have been lost at the same time.
"Boy! Don't underestimate women, even more so when it's my sister!" Malvolio added.
