Outside the main castle.

Hod looked at the head with wide eyes on the ground, his mouth corners slightly raised, his eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction, as if he was satisfied with what he had done.

"Tap tap..." A sound of footsteps came from the hall. Hod looked up and saw more than a dozen guards and escorts with black dirt on their faces carefully coming out.

They looked nervous, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, and looking around vigilantly.

"Long time no see, Master Henry..."

Hod saw Henry, a big businessman with a nervous look on his face at first sight, and couldn't help but tease him, with a hint of sarcasm and teasing in his tone, as if deliberately angering the other party.

Henry looked around and found that he was surrounded by evil men holding bows and crossbows. He couldn't help but be afraid. He smiled embarrassedly, trying to hide his inner uneasiness: "Captain Hod."

"Oh, Master Henry doesn't seem surprised to see me." Hod raised his eyebrows and walked forward to ask.

"I saw you at the second-floor window. What's the surprise?" Although he muttered this in his heart, Henry still had a flattering smile on his face, nodding and bowing but not responding.

He didn't dare to offend Hood now. After all, there were fierce men all around him. He could only choose to remain silent to avoid conflict.

Seeing Henry like this, Hood felt bored and immediately looked at other people.

He began to look at these guards and escorts carefully, observing their equipment and demeanor, and every subtle expression was in his sight.

Some people saw Hood looking at them and immediately lowered their heads and dared not look at him, while others looked at Hood directly in the face of Hood's gaze.

Hood looked at the people with different expressions, smiled lightly, and stepped back a few steps.

"Captain Hood, can we leave?" At this time, Henry suddenly asked with a flattering smile, with a flattering smile on his face and full of expectations in his eyes.

At the same time, other guards and escorts also looked at Hood nervously, their eyes revealed a trace of uneasiness and anxiety, waiting for Hood's answer.

"Leave? I didn't promise you to leave..."

Hood's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, but this smile made people feel an inexplicable chill.

Hearing this, Henry was stunned, his face instantly became a little ugly, and the original expectation disappeared without a trace, replaced by a face full of astonishment and disbelief.

However, despite his dissatisfaction and anger, he still tried to hold back his emotions and asked in a low and respectful voice: "Captain Hood, didn't you say that as long as we can give you Barnett's head, you will let us go?"

"Hey, did I say that?" Hood smiled slightly, a cunning light flashed in his eyes, he slowly looked around the robbers, and then asked softly.

"Boss, you didn't say that." A robber immediately echoed, with a smug smile on his face.

"Yes, that's what Nott said, it has nothing to do with the boss..." Another robber also followed suit, and the laughter echoed in the air.

The robbers around laughed loudly, their laughter was mixed with ridicule and jokes, as if they were laughing at the naivety and stupidity of Henry and others.

At this moment, Henry's face became more and more gloomy, he clenched his fists tightly, his heart was full of resentment and helplessness.

"Damn it, you actually deceived us!" A guard showed anger on his face, walked up and pointed at Hood, cursing.

Hearing this curse, Hood's face suddenly sank, he said coldly: "Killing so many of my men, still wanting to leave, it's just a dream!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and immediately the robbers around raised their crossbows and aimed at Henry and his party.

"Hood...Captain..." This scene shocked Henry, and he begged for mercy: "Wait a minute, I am willing to pay you a ransom, please let us go..."

"Oh... ransom? How much are you willing to pay to buy your lives?" Hood asked curiously.

"5 gold dragons! No, 10! Captain Hood, I am willing to pay you 10 gold dragons!"

Henry answered tremblingly, his heart full of fear and despair. He knew that if he could not convince these robbers to let them go, they would most likely be killed here.

As he spoke, he looked at the robbers around him nervously, hoping that they would accept this proposal.

However, Hood sneered and said, "10 gold dragons? Do you think my brothers' lives are only worth this little money?"

Henry's face turned pale, and he realized that 10 gold dragons might not satisfy Hood's greed in front of him.

He gritted his teeth and raised the amount of the ransom again: "20 gold dragons! This is the most money I can take out, pleaseLet us go!" His voice was filled with tears, and there was a helpless light in his eyes.

At this moment, Henry's heart was full of contradictions. On the one hand, he hoped to exchange a high ransom for freedom, on the other hand, he was also worried that even if he paid the ransom, these robbers would not let them go, but facing the crisis at hand, he had no choice but to try his best to fight for a glimmer of hope.

"20 gold dragons..." Hood was happy in his heart, but pretended to be tangled on his face. After hesitating for a while, he asked: "But how can I believe that you will keep your promise after you leave safely?"

As soon as the voice fell, Hood looked at Henry quietly, as if he hoped that Henry could give him a satisfactory answer.

"I..."

Henry's face changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and said: "Captain Hood, I swear on the honor of my family that I will never breach the contract. "

"Ha, sorry, I don't believe this, unless you can give it to me now..." Hood waved his hand and said directly.

This sentence made Henry look embarrassed. Seeing that Hood's expression was getting worse, Henry suddenly had an idea and said in a hurry: "I still have dozens of gold dragons in my carriage. I can pay you now."

After speaking, Henry's pupils shrank, as if he thought of something, and instantly collapsed to the ground, his eyes full of despair.

And Dick behind him also trembled suddenly, looking at Henry on the ground in disbelief, his mouth slightly moving:

Fool...

Sure enough, after hearing Henry say that there were still dozens of gold dragons in the carriage, Hood immediately laughed, his voice full of excitement and arrogance.

"Henry, Henry..."

Hood laughed so hard that tears came out: "Aren't you looking for death..."

"Didn't you plan to let us go from the beginning..." Dick looked at the robbers around him with lifeless eyes and murmured in a low voice.

"Kill them! "

Hod calmed down his excitement, put away the smile on his face, and said softly.

"Swoosh..."

"Swoosh..."

Instantly, more than a dozen arrows flew out, and blood instantly bloomed from Henry and others, like a bright red flower, which was fascinating...
