Chapter 550 - DECEIVED

That man looked hesitated for a while, but his eyes hardened when he made his decision. "No," he said coldly. "You will not kill him." He was very sure with his words.

It didn't need a long time for him to know this girl that she even wouldn't be able to hurt a mosquito. She looked very delicate with soft personality. At least, that was the first impression that he got when he saw her for the first time.

Hope gulped down, though her expression didn't show her shock, but her trembling hand was visible to see for Ethan and Ian understood the whole situation.

Hope was only bragging about the fact that man was being alive and now, since the other hunter thought the girl wouldn't be able to hurt the dead man, it was up to Hope what she was going to do next to convince the hunter.

"Are you sure?" Hope's voice was slightly trembling. She hoped, she didn't have to do this. "Do you really think I will not be able to kill him?"

The hunter was about to turn around and ignored her when the corner of his eyes caught a sight of the girl's movement and out of instinct, he turned around with wide eyes in shock.

"Forgive me…" Hope whispered to herself and the corpse on her laps. It wasn't necessary to apologize, after all, the dead man wouldn't be able to voice out his complain.

Actually, Hope didn't want to hurt the dead body, but what choice that she had when that man didn't believe her? She had to do everything to make the hunter stay away from Kace.

Hope stabbed the head of the spear on the man's neck and glowered at the hunter while fresh blood spurted from the new wound.

"Make another move toward him and I will kill him right now!" Hope said in menacing tone, at the very least, the dead body wouldn't feel any pain with whatever the girl would do to him.

Hope could see fear mixed with anger flashed on that man's eyes. If he could, maybe he would kill Hope first.

It was because of the girl that his fellow hunters were dead now. This girl and her despicable friends!

"I came with the intention to save you! But, you do this as return?!" the hunter moved closer toward Hope while dragging the same spear that he would use to kill Kace. "Your beast killed all of my fellow hunters! And now you are threatening me!?" he asked incredulously.

"I have never asked you to save me! I have told you that all of this is your misunderstanding! I have told you to run while you can!" Hope was slightly relief that the hunter walked away from Kace, "But, you chose to ignore me and play hero!"

She was saying the truth. Hope had warned them to release her and stop provoking the beast, challenging him. If only they listened to her and stopped their crazy idea that Hope was asking to be rescued, the situation wouldn't turn very wrong like this.

"Bulsh*t!" The hunter bellowed. He was very angry as he picked up his pace and was standing in front of Hope in no time. "Stay away from my friend!"

And Hope gladly did. She rose on her feet and took a step back. Now what?! She had managed to make this man to not kill Kace, at least for the time being, but it was impossible for them to have a discussion to short out this situation.

Once this man new that Hope lied to him. He, probably, would kill her instead. Now, it was her life that was in danger as that man crept closer toward the dead body that he assumed was still alive.

Hope moved secretively, positioned herself behind that hunter.

On the other hand, the hunter was approaching his man while calling his name, even without seeing his face and with the lack of light, he could still recognize his comrade.

"Bern," he called his name. "Bern, are you alright?" he asked while rolling his body, so he could see him clearly. "Bern?" the new wound that Hope had stabbed still bleeding, the hunter placed his palm to cover his neck, in order to stop the blood from oozing out.

However, he realized something as his body turned stiff and he whipped his head toward Hope. The girl had stood behind him while holding the spear in her hand, pointing the sharp metal to his face.

"YOU KILL HIM!?" He thought Bern must have died because Hope stabbed him.

"No!" Hope shook her head, her hands were shaking while holding the spear. "He was dead before I even stabbed him." The hostility in the hunter's eyes forced Hope to take another step back.

Upon hearing Hope's words, the hunter finally realized that he was being fooled by her. "YOU!?"

"HOPE, KILL HIM!" Ian shouted from behind the bar. "KILL HIM!"

Yet, Ethan shoved him aside. "Do you know what are you talking about?! You ask her to kill someone?! Are you out of your mind?!"

"So, will you prefer that he killed her?!" Ian retorted.

That was right, at this point, there was no room for discussion, but how Hope could kill someone else when her whole body was shaking uncontrollably?

The furious hunter hollered to the dark night. Not only he had lost all of his men, but he was being fooled too!

"Go away and I will let you live!" Hope was still trying to put some air, but that was only an empty threat, which the hunter could see it right through her eyes.

"Do you think you still can fool me for the second time?!" forgetting the wounds that littered his body, the hunter moved very fast toward Hope and snatched the spear from her hands.

The sudden forced and her injured ankle didn't do Hope any good as she tumbled and sat on the ground with the Hunter raised the spear above his head.
