Hearing Suzy’s words, the group of men burst into laughter. Their leader stepped forward, sneering. "You think you can kill our boss and still walk out of here alive?"
"If you want my life, you’ll have to prove you’re capable of taking it," Suzy shot back. Wasting no time, she sent a few silver needles flying through the air.
Each needle hit its mark with precision, and the men standing closest to her collapsed instantly.
"One last chance!" Suzy’s gaze grew colder, her tone sharper. "If you don’t want to end up like them, leave now!"
The leader barked out, "Men, don’t waste time talking. She killed our boss, and we must avenge her!"
He stood at the back, giving commands but not lifting a finger himself.
"For a dead woman?" Suzy’s voice rang clear, cutting through the chaos.
"Don’t you see how foolish that is? She may have been your leader, but was she your everything?
"What about your families—your parents, your children, your spouses? Aren’t they more important to you than a boss who used you as pawns?"
Her piercing words caused a ripple of hesitation among the group.
Suzy noticed their subtle reactions, the flicker of doubt in their eyes. Sensing the shift, she pressed on, her voice steady but urgent.
"Is it worth sacrificing your lives for someone who wouldn’t have done the same for you? When you’re gone, who will remember you?
“What will you leave behind for your families—a tarnished reputation of loyalty to the wrong person?
"Think about what your death would mean to those who truly love you. They’ll carry the pain of losing you for the rest of their lives. Is that the legacy you want to leave behind?"
Her words struck a deeper chord this time. The men began murmuring among themselves.
"She… she’s got a point," one of them whispered.
"Yeah, I just got married. If I die, my wife will be a widow," another said, his voice tinged with guilt.
