Scarlett Hao hurriedly turned her head to check the situation, but it was too late - Paine would not give her a chance to shoot again.
Paine, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up and rushed to Scarlett Hao with just one step. He took the pistol from her hand with his left hand and pinched her throat with his right hand to hold her hostage.
"Let me go, sister, or I'll shoot!"
"If you dare to hurt my sister, you will never escape!"
Scarlett Hao's two younger sisters were not easy to deal with. They actually each took out a rifle that was not much shorter than them and pointed at Paine condescendingly.
No wonder their footsteps just now seemed weak and difficult. It turned out that they were running out each carrying a rifle. The accessories they were wearing hit the rifles, causing a metallic clanking sound.
"I said I didn't mean any harm. How on earth do you want to believe it?"
"No malice? Would you do this to me without malice?" Although Scarlett Hao fell into the enemy's hands, she still showed quite a bad temper.
"Miss, you just shot at me. If I don't take some measures, will you listen to me? And you have just seen that your pistol bullets did not hurt me. As for the two people upstairs holding Miss with the rifle, I suggest you think carefully before shooting, I am confident enough to get out of the way before you pull the trigger, and then your sister will be shot."
"You dare?!" Scarlett Hao's eyes flickered.
"Then you can let your sister try it out and see if your gun is faster or mine is faster." Paine said calmly, but actually he was beating a drum in his heart.
His chain armor ripped from a dead man was stronger than he imagined, and it directly withstood pistol bullets. However, although the bullet did not penetrate the chain armor, the impact of the bullet was also vented to his left shoulder. Paine now felt as if his left shoulder had been hit hard by a hammer. Just now, he hit a snag when he used the Star Fate Skill on this woman. Therefore, Pan Enyue was not sure that he could confuse the two little girls upstairs at the same time in this situation. If they also had some special abilities, wouldn't he actually have to be shot?
The scene remained deadlocked for a few more minutes, and Paine knew that if anyone else showed up, his situation would be very bad - although the girl in his hand was very beautiful, he didn't want to die with her.
"In this way, I can let you go first," Paine said, "but you must swear that you and your two sisters will never attack me again. This is a very sincere proposal."
"So, who are you? A Yankee soldier or a native with malicious intentions?" Scarlett Hao asked.
"I'm really just a passerby, and I may have just killed three of those Yankee soldiers you're talking about out there."
Paine let go of Scarlett and threw the pistol to the ground, then kicked the weird travel bag out.
The two little girls upstairs didn't know how to shoot, so he was betting that the chain armor on his body was strong enough to stop rifle bullets.
"I have expressed my sincerity. This should be enough to explain the problem. There are some map files in there."
Scarlett Hao motioned to her two sisters to point their rifles at Paine but not to shoot yet. She opened her travel bag and checked, and found that in addition to the map documents of the Northern Army, she also found three letters of identification.
Scarlett Hao immediately believed it. The man in front of her looked like a local aboriginal, and there was no similarity with the three identity certificates of the Northern Army.
"Okay, you convinced me."
As a witch, Scarlett Hao has her own pride. But in this situation, one more friend is better than one more enemy. As a witch with extraordinary power, she would have exhausted her magic power by destroying a 6-person combat team. The man in front of him could kill three Northern Army soldiers by himself, and he could also avoid her pistol bullets and restrain himself. This had proven his extraordinary strength.
She realized that if this man was used well, he might be able to bring unexpected help to her.
"Sue Ellen, Carrien, put down your guns first." Scarlett Hao asked the two sisters to put down their weapons. "This is a misunderstanding."
"Sister, are you okay?"
Su Ellen and Carrien ran downstairs, pulling their sister to look at Pan warily.
"I'm fine, I was just held hostage by a rude guy for a few minutes." Scarlett Hao waved her hand.
"Rude guy, tell me your name." Scarlett Hao's soft face showed a wild look that was not a lady. Although she looked more like her mother with French aristocratic blood, it originated from The ruggedness of her pioneer father was etched into her bones, not to mention the fact that she was a witch.
"You can call me Ronald, Miss." Paine raised his eyebrows, "You haven't asked Miss your name yet?"
"I am Scarlett O'Hara, the owner of Tara Manor." Scarlett Hao said, "You are trespassing..."
"Scarlett O'Hara?" Paine repeated the name before Scarlett Hao finished speaking.
"Is there any problem?" Scarlett Hao frowned, staring at Paine with her beautiful green eyes.
"No, I just think the name sounds nice." Paine laughed, but he was shocked. Scarlett O'Hara, Tara Manor - this is a bit similar to a novel on Blue Star in his previous life! Isn't this the world-famous novel "Gone with the Wind" that depicts the emotional entanglement between Scarlett and Rhett Butler during the American Civil War?
"You're lying." Scarlett Hao narrowed her eyes. She felt offended if the man in front of her felt that she was weak and could be bullied.
She gritted her teeth and mobilized the elements at the risk of continuing to overdraw her magic power, and a ball of red flame burst out of her right hand.
"What? A modified version of "Gone with the Wind"?"
Paine was really shocked this time.
