Chapter 727 They Are Lying
“What?”
Nancy sat up quickly, her face taut and terrified.
Natalia tried again, realizing it made no difference and it was not her delusion. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Then she came over with a gloomy face.
“The situation is far worse. I suspect they’ve figured out who we really are.”
Nancy got scared and said, “what should we do?”
Natalia’s lips compressed into a line and she fell silent.
“Take it easy. Let’s see what are they going to do first. If it doesn’t work……”
If it didn’t work, they had to do something.
Under this situation, anyway, she and Nancy must stay together.
She thought as she took out the paper with the map she drew that had been hidden in the corner. She
read it carefully, then put it in her pocket.
She said in a low voice, “we’re not got getting out of here tonight, and let’s see how it goes. Remember,
when we wake up tomorrow, just pretend like nothing happened and we did not know that the door was
locked, okay? If we see anything unusual, we’ll knock them out and tie them up. Let’s just get out of
here first.”
Nancy was a little worried. “But you said this wouldn’t work. Someone around here will help them catch
us.”
Natalia sighed deeply. “But we have no other choice. Things changed, you know. We just have to roll
with the punches.”
As she spoke, she put together a few things they needed.
Then she said, “I used to think procrastination would give you more time to heal. But now, they seem to
know who we are.”
“If they’re afraid of getting in trouble, they’ll be in a hurry to sell us. That will put us in real danger. We
must do something soon.”
Nancy listened and nodded heavily.
After packing up everything, Natalia exhaled deeply.
Then she ground the flowers she brought back today into powder and packed them together. She gave
Nancy a pack and kept one for herself.
She said, “I don’t know if it works. Anyway, take it. Maybe we can use it as a lime powder.”
Nancy nodded. Suddenly, she whipped out a knife from under her pillow.
Seeing this, Natalia was startled.
“Where did you get it?”
Nancy said lightly, “I carry it with me all the time.”
Natalia stared at Nancy with unbelieving eyes.
“How? Why didn’t I notice it? I’ve been sleeping next to you for days”
Nancy smiled. “I keep it in the most secret place, so of course you wouldn’t find it. It’s tiny when it folds,
but when it unfolds like this, it’s a dagger. I had this custom-made a long time ago. If I fasten it to my
waistband, no one will see it.”
Natalia nodded.
This dagger, which could protect itself, made her feel a lot safer.
She said to Nancy, “Let’s play it by ear tomorrow. Don’t be impulsive.”
Nancy nodded. “Got it.”
After some more discussions, they believed that it was useless worrying about it and they decided to
wait until tomorrow.
So after chatting in bed for a while, they fell asleep.
Meanwhile, downstairs,
Nico was sitting at the head of her bed mending her clothes under a dim lamp.
Sammy paced up and down the room, smoking a cigarette.
After a while, Nico couldn’t help herself and she said outright, “stop walking around! You’re making my
eyes spin. I can’t see even the needle now.”
Sammy said coldly, stopping and looking at her. “Are they acting strangely today?”
“No, they are two naive ladies from the city, and all they think about is romance,” replied Nico as she
bent her head to sew.
Sammy snorted in a dead voice.
“Don’t be fooled by them. I tell you, they are not just ordinary people!”
Nico was stunned at his words.
Then she looked at him in bewilderment.
However, Sammy began smoking and pacing anxiously around the room.
After a while, he said, “there are some strangers in the village today.”
Nico was a little surprised.
“What? Who are they?”
“Hum, guess what?” Sammy sneered, “they are here to find the girls.”
Nico was startled.
She pricked herself with the needle she was holding. A painful feeling shot up her finger.
With a soft exclamation, she lifted her finger and put it in her mouth. She said, after sucking the blood
away. “So fast?”
Sammy turned to look at her, and there was something indefinable in his eyes.
“Not only that, they are not ordinary people. Guess what they had with them?”
Nico gave him a blank look. “What?”
“Guns!”
“Oh my!”
Her face blanched with fear after a cry of surprise. Then she clutched his chest.
Sammy’s face was pale, too. There was a feeling of restlessness deep in his soul.
“I’m sure they’re not telling us the truth. Why are those guys with guns here? Maybe they’re spies or
something. We managed to get away from the war and live a peaceful life in this small village, so we
can’t let them ruin it. We need to get rid of them fast.”
Nico compressed her lips and lowered her head slightly.
“How? Didn’t you promise Dim that you would sell them to him?”
“Can’t do it now.”
Sammy stopped suddenly, and then he said in a low voice, “we are all from the same village. If those
men find the girls, they will bring disaster to the village. So we have to sell them outside the village.”
Nico frowned.
She looked up at her husband and made a bold offer.
“Or…… let’s set them free! It can avoid trouble and……”
“Bullshit!”
She had barely started speaking when Sammy interrupted her.
He looked at her in exasperation. “How can we mess up such a sure thing? They’re worth tens of
thousands of dollars. If we let them go, our good life will go up in smoke!”
He snorted, “And we didn’t trick them to come here. They just broke in. So I'm not gonna miss this
golden opportunity to make some money!”
