Semua Bab Princess Cromwell and Her Six Brothers: Bab 2041 - Bab 2050

She suspected that among the researchers, someone might have sold out their itinerary. Otherwise, even if that high-ranking undercover wanted to relay the message quickly, it would still take time. Yet, according to Hackett, as soon as they checked into a hotel, someone showed up with guns and took them away.Hackett nodded gently. "Alright."After Hackett got into the car and sat down, the driver started the vehicle and slowly drove away from the place."Hackett, we all feel heartbroken about losing the data. Don't be too upset.""That's right. At least our lives are safe, and we still have time to start the research again. I believe we'll be able to reproduce the results soon!"Out of the group of seven, six people spoke up.Hackett silently observed everyone's reactions and noticed that a young man sitting in the back seemed particularly troubled. Hackett knew this person; he had performed exceptionally well before, which was why Hackett had specifically brought him along."Lucius,

The young people all looked at Orman in confusion, with gunmen standing beside them, not daring to move."Once you come here, leave your pride behind. Here, dignity is the least valuable thing," Orman said slowly. "I know all of you want to make money. The jobs here pay a lot, but it depends on whether you have the ability to earn it!""But... what you're doing is illegal. If we go back home, we'll definitely go to jail.""I want to make money, Orman, I really want to," said a boy named Penn, his eyes full of hope for the future. He was a computer science student at a university back home.Orman looked at Penn. "If you want to earn, that's fine. I can give you 4,000 dollars right now and let you send it to your family.""Really, Orman? You're giving me 4,000 dollars before I even start working? Thank you, Orman, thank you so much!" Penn's eyes lit up.Orman lifted his chin with his hand. "You're a college student, majoring in computer science?""That's right, Orman," Penn nodded. "But

Amelia stood beside Colten, her gaze fixed intently on the girl in the short skirt. Although the girl appeared to be 'crying,' no tears actually fell, and her clenched fists seemed to express indignation rather than the pain of having her innocence destroyed.A few so-called 'righteous people' stood nearby, seemingly standing up for the girl in the short skirt, but their eyes kept darting to her wrist, as if waiting for some kind of signal.The girl in the short skirt choked out, "You're a girl too. Would you ever falsely accuse someone and ruin your own innocence?""A normal girl wouldn't," Amelia replied coolly, her eyes calm. "Except for certain people!""What do you mean by that!" The girl in the short skirt cried even harder. "You're on his side, so you're speaking up for him, but everyone else here is a good person—they can tell right from wrong!"Amelia smiled slowly. "Let's just handle this officially. If he really did secretly film you, I'll personally see that he goes to jai

When the crowd heard this, they all returned to their seats. This was the first time there had ever been a hidden item; such a situation had never occurred before.Two staff members carefully carried a tray covered with white silk onto the stage. On the tray was an object protected by a glass dome, but since it was draped with a cloth, its contents could not be seen.The host picked up the microphone, his voice deliberately dramatic: "Ladies and gentlemen, the next hidden finale item is an ancient bronze vessel from the East. After appraisal by our hired experts, it has a history of over two thousand years, with exquisite craftsmanship and extremely high collectible value!"As the host finished speaking, the two staff members carrying the tray lifted the white cloth, revealing the bronze vessel.It was a bronze vase with a simple, ancient shape, about thirty-five centimeters tall. The body was engraved with intricate patterns and some symbols resembling characters. There were symmetri

Soon, ten people approached from a distance, each holding a gun and wearing a mask, heading straight for the house where Amelia lived.The man leading them was the one who had come before: "Did you know we were coming?"They were puzzled, as if their plans had been leaked, and became more cautious. Just like the ancient empty city strategy, perhaps this whole scene was a carefully designed trap."If you could follow me here, naturally I could spot your movements as well." Amelia toyed with a switchblade in her hand, her tone eerily calm. "Why didn't Quincy come with you? I suppose he was willing to spend the money to send you here to die.""What do you mean?" The leader's brows furrowed as he glanced around, wary of an ambush. After waiting a moment and seeing no reaction, he turned his gaze back. "We don't want any trouble. Just hand over the bronze vase and we won't kill anyone."Amelia looked at him. "You, I think I recognize you. Even with the mask, I remember—you seem to be one o
