Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 742

The captives stared at Elena, their eyes brimming with a desperate, agonizing plea.

They wanted to go home so badly it hurt!

"Elena, you promised you'd take me out of here! You promised I'd live!" Emily Sterling suddenly cried out from the crowd.

This was her last chance. If she didn't leave now, she was as good as dead.

If the captives were forced back into their cells after an escape attempt, the torture would be unimaginable.

Emily knew she hadn't met her scam quotas; she would undoubtedly be sent to the medical wing and harvested for organs.

Seeing the raw desperation in their faces, Elena's heart clenched. A deep wave of compassion washed over her.

"Boss, take the deal. It's the only way we get out of here alive," Logan urged quietly.

"No. If I leave, what happens to them?"

Logan looked at the sea of broken people behind them and fell silent.

"Elena, I trust you," Theresa said softly, stepping up beside her. "Whatever you decide, I'm with you!"

Though Theresa desperately wanted to flee, the thought of leaving everyone else in this living hell made her sick to her stomach.

Having been locked up here for days, she knew the brutal reality of the place. It was literal hell on earth.

The people behind her dreamt of nothing but going home.

"Manager Woods, what if I decide to take all of them home?" Elena stated, her gaze turning lethal.

Woods' face twisted in fury. "Do you think this is a damn hotel? You slaughtered my men, blew up half my compound, and cost me millions of dollars! Letting you and your friend walk away is already an act of immense mercy, and you dare push your luck!"

"They are innocent people. You're from Aethelgard too. You speak the language, you bleed the same blood. Why tear each other apart?"

"Staying here is a fate worse than death. I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory!"

"Please, bring us home!"

The chorus of support washed over Elena.

Hearing that desperate plea—bring us home—made her blood boil with a familiar, fierce adrenaline.

It felt just like her mercenary days, leading the Northmoon clan into impossible battles, defying death at every turn!

"Mutiny! This is a damn mutiny! Since you all have a death wish, kill them! Kill them all!" Woods shrieked, livid.

Under his iron-fisted rule, these captives had been beaten into submission, terrified of their own shadows.

Now, thanks to Elena's spark, they were standing tall, ready to face down a firing squad.
