Chapter 555 I’m Not That Patient

"If even you think I'm at fault, then I don't mind going on like this."

Nobody was on his side. Even Elspeth, whom he liked the most, had never given him the time of her day. Arthur could not explain how he felt—there was heartbreak and desperation, but more than that, he felt completely disheartened by Elspeth.

"I was going to let you go." Arthur caressed her face with the knife handle. Though his voice was gentle, each of his words was cutting. "But what you said hurt me too much. Elspeth, you're not worthy of my love."

Instantly, warning sirens sounded in Elspeth's mind, and in the next second, Arthur raised his knife and went straight for her face.

Fortunately, she prepared herself beforehand. Upon seeing his abnormal behavior, she dodged backward. However, as she was tightly trapped in his arms, she couldn't avoid being grazed, and a bright red wound soon appeared on her face, gushing with fresh blood.

Callum instantly felt his heart tighten at the sight of Elspeth's wound. "Arthur, don't be reckless, or I'll never forgive you!"

"What's wrong? Worried about her? You can save her, but only if you fulfill my conditions."

Arthur looked cold and apathetic; it was as if he were devoid of emotion and he waved his knife in the air. As he had trained in martial arts while he was in university, he was decently skilled in combat and his previous moves were enough to show how vicious he was. It was now clear that Arthur's murderous intent had fully emerged.

Callum inhaled deeply before asking, "All right. What are your conditions?"

"First, have all the officers here leave."

Callum's gaze swept across the room, but the surrounding officers did not budge.

"Mr. Winthrop, the convict's mental state is clearly not stable at the moment. We have to stay here to ensure the hostage's safety."

When Arthur heard the word convict, his face instantly darkened to a terrifying extent. "Tell them to leave. Don't make me say it a third time."
