The man had simply hoped that witnessing a girl's life in danger would make Karma stop attacking, and it succeeded.
Karma came to a halt when the guy took the little girl hostage, and witnessing Karma come to a halt helped the man understand that the person he is battling today is simply a child.
Of course, a youngster like that will not be able to endanger the life of another child, especially one who is just about 10 years old.
[Boss: "Y–Yeah, that's right, you don't want someone else to die because of you, right?" If you did, then it's just like what happened to your parents, isn't it?"]
Karma did not say a single word, which made the man think that maybe taking a hostage wasn't the right choice.
But then, Karma, who had his head down, glanced at the man with teary eyes and began pleading.
[Karma: "Please, let her go."]
The man didn't show it on his face, but observing Karma's look made him giggle on the inside.
