Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Amelia was closer to that woman. When she saw what the woman did, she frowned and asked loudly, "Roxy, do you have any idea what you're doing?"

"Yes, I do. And I know what you all are up to."

Roxy Wright turned around and smiled at a man behind her. "Uncle Andrei, you guys guessed right. This woman is an undercover cop!"

Uncle?

Amelia and the others were still confused when Esther, feeling a bit shocked, asked, "He's your uncle?"

"You didn't see that coming, did you? I'm from this village too." Roxy looked proud as she fixed her hair. "Good thing my uncle is clever. He figured out one of you was a cop. So, he had me act like I was a college student who got kidnapped to blend in. If not, we never would've caught on that there was a cop here."

Roxy was quite exhausted from pretending there. If her uncle hadn't promised to help her marry Finnegan after all this, she wouldn't have agreed to such a tough job.

She still could feel the slap she received when she was chosen for this.

"Alright, I've spilled the beans. And don't even think about escaping. It won't work."

The man behind Roxy, with a smile that quickly turned mean, said, "Yeah, just stay put. We'll take these two lovely ladies as our wives. As for the cop..."

His expression darkened. "We'll kill her in the mountains!"

Amelia went pale and started to shake behind the others. Being a rookie, she had no clue how to handle this situation.

"Mister Andrei, maybe we can discuss this?" Finnegan asked.

Meanwhile, Pearl took a moment to look around. The village chief was here, so it was no wonder there were so many people around.

"We have nothing to discuss. Since you were sent by the higher ups, we won't harm you. Well, how about

thrry my niece, and we a

forget all this." NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Hearing this, Roxie lowered her head shyly.

"But you have to let us handle the cop," Andrei added.

"What if I refuse?"

"You don't have a say in that," Andrei said, laughing, and his men held their weapons tighter.

Then, a couple of his men charged to show their strength.

Pearl and Richard were ready. As the

their knives away and sent them to the ground with punches.

The skinny and weak villagers stood no chance.

Seeing his men losing, Andrei yelled, "Attack them! I want to see how tough they are!"

His men, seeing their friends on the ground, were scared but still ran forward because there were many of them.
