She was afraid and asking him for help.
Stanford's breath suddenly became heavy and he was full of anger.
"If you dare to hurt her again, I will kill all of you!"
The host knew that Stanford was very powerful and did not want to fight with him head-on. Even if there were so many people on his side, they might not be able to defeat Stanford.
Otherwise, he would not have come up with such a mean idea to kidnap Stanford's girlfriend and let him compromise.
The host said politely,
"Mr. Fraser, let's exchange people. It's good for us."
Stanford was angry. He pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.
He did not agree but hesitated.
Phoebe looked at him in shock, with tears in her eyes.
Why? Wasn't it obviously for him to save her? He hesitated for a strange woman he had just met.
Phoebe was very sad. She clenched her fingers into fists and almost squeezed her nails into her skin.
At this time.
With her head covered by the black gauze, the woman squeezed out a little sound from her throat. She hurriedly reached out and grabbed Stanford's sleeve.
Her body was tense and she seemed to be very afraid. Her fingers were trembling slightly.
She seemed to be shaking, telling him not to send her to them.
Stanford looked straight at her and did not speak. It was hard to guess what he meant.
"Stanford..."
Phoebe held back her tears and said in a choked voice, "Are you going to give me up for her?"
The host sneered. "It seems that you are not important for him. You can't even compare with an auction item. In that case, you are useless."
As he spoke, the host grabbed saber and was about to stab Phoebe.
Phoebe looked at Stanford sadly. "You said that you would be with me for the rest of your life... Do you change your mind now?"
Change his mind?
Stanford didn't know what to do. He looked at Phoebe with a complicated expression and then at the woman in black.
He did not change his mind.
But...
He grabbed the woman's hand and said in a low voice, "Believe me, I won't give you to them."
The woman's fingers trembled slightly and she held his hand tightly.
She nodded gently.
She trusted him.
She trusted him the most.
"Exchange."
Stanford pulled the woman toward the host step by step.
Tears flickered in Phoebe's eyes. Looking at Stanford's cold face, she finally calmed down.
Fortunately, he chose her in the end.
The host turned saber in another direction, placed it on the waist of Phoebe, and pushed her forward with one hand on her shoulder.
He warned, "Mr. Fraser, don't play any tricks, or she'll die if I slash her."
"Cut the crap. Let's exchange."
Stanford suddenly sped up, leaving only one meter between him and the host.
His movements were quick, and he pulled the woman out.
Seeing the woman coming over, the host quickly reached out to grab her and pushed Phoebe forward at the same time.
They grabbed the woman's and phoebe's shoulders at the same time.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Stanford suddenly pulled the two women toward him.
The woman instantly broke away from the host's hand, and Phoebe obviously could be out of the host's control, too.
The host's instinctive reaction was to stab Phoebe with the knife.
Suddenly,
Saber slid past Phoebe's waist, and blood splashed.
The next second, Stanford kicked the host away and pulled Phoebe and the woman back to the depths of the alley.
