Chapter 572: I Don't Want to Die (part one)

Daisy's lips trembled, but she didn't seem to have the slightest intention to release Yakira. She winked at Edward with her intelligent and artful eyes, indicating him not to force her to make a choice between Yakira and him. Because what she needed the most now was not his company, but his cooperation.

Daisy, keep your hands off my Mom. Is it because of the drink? You don't need to make a fuss about it and get everyone annoyed. As a soldier, you're being too mean to hold a grudge on such a trifling thing."

Mary narrowed her eyes and looked at Daisy with derision. The jealous feeling got the better of her, Mary forgot the terror she felt when the gun was pointed at her before. She only saw the affection in Edward's eyes when he looked at Daisy. This got her insanely jealous. Why did Edward only care for that bitch Daisy? Mary also crazily loved him, but he seemed to have completely ignored her.

"Shut up! Are you trying to make more trouble for yourself?'' Brian stared at Mary. He was angry that Mary didn't realize how dangerous the situation was. She didn't do anything to diffuse the tension. On the contrary, she was fueling the flames. He really didn't know what was on her mind.

"Didn't you see? It's she who started all this. Why are you angry at me?" Mary said while raising her chin. She was fed up with the different attitude people showed to her and Daisy. She was like a hateful tumor in their eyes. On the other hand, Daisy didn't look wrong to them even when she held a gun and pointed it at anyone she wanted. Mary thought that she was only complaining about it. But why was Brian so angry at her? It was unfair. How could she be calm when she felt she was being ill treated?

"You all shut up!" Edward suddenly turned his head at them and shouted with fury. His eyes reflected intimidating coldness. He looked ferocious like the evil god Sura from Hell, making everyone in the house become silent in an instant. Even Daisy was frightened. She trembled at the sight of his horrible expression. She had never seen him look so cold and stern. He had always been noble and graceful in her eyes, and she was surprised to see him so aggressive and intimidating.

Colonel Ouyang? What about you? Are you going to wilfully do what you want?' Don't forget that you're a solder, not a judge. You're a mother, not a killer. Have you forgotten all this? Look at the uniform you are wearing and look at me. I believe you are not a foolish woman.''

If possible, Edward would rather shoot the gun for her. Then the whole thing would not be so torturing. But he knew he couldn't. Because if she lost him, her life would be worse than death. Therefore, they could enjoy their beautiful life only when both of them were alive and together.

I..." Daisy bit her lip and tipped him a wink furtively. Didn't he see that she was only making a show?

"Mrs. Ouyang, do you want her to shoot you or do you want to turn yourself in? I think you are very clear about the stake of the two choices." Edward smiled wryly in his heart. It seemed that Daisy was not only good at playing the gun but she was also good at acting. If he hadn't caught the hint in her eyes, he would have thought that she really had lost the cool and spirit of a soldier. He realized that he thought too much. It was impossible that such an intelligent and wise woman like Daisy would do such a stupid thing. Probably it was because the more he was concerned of her, the more he was confused.

"I will turn myself in. Mr. Mu, but you'd better take this crazy woman away. I don't want to die." Yakira's body trembled because of fear. She was a cunning woman, she would certainly choose the side that was to her advantage. If she was shot to death by Daisy, everything would be over for her. But if she turned herself in, probably she would have the chance to live. It happened many years ago, even if the judge wanted to declare her guilty, it would take some time to investigate the case and make the final verdict. As the saying went, "A living dog is better than a dead lion." She surely knew what was more important to her.

"Turn yourself in? Yakira, do you think it's so easy to solve everything? Do you really think that I don't know what's on your mind? I am telling you, no way. You're dead today." Seeing that Edward stopped forcing her to make decisions, she breathed a sigh of relief. But she still looked intimidating with her menacing face.

"But didn't Mr. Mu just say I have two choices? You can't eat your words." Yakira felt the silver lining that had just come to her went up in smoke at Daisy's cold voice. But she was now kidnapped by Daisy, so she didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect. She was worried that if Daisy got irritated by her, she might shoot her in the head. As the saying went, "The man who recognizes the facts of a situation is a paragon of men." She understood what it meant.

He said that to you, but that doesn't mean I agree to it," Daisy said. How could it be possible for her to not know Edward's concern? But it was impossible for her to stay put nonchalantly after she knew the truth. At least she needed to find someone to vent her anger on. And that person had to be Yakira. She would not let it end so easily.
