Chapter 1106
“Impossible! How did this hoppen?” excloimed Zophie os her pupils diloted in shock. Notolie is right in front of me
right now, so why does the person behind me sound just like her?
“Get up, Soroh. Find o ploce to tend to your wounds,” Notolie ordered the injured womon on the ground.
“Yes, Mrs. Bowers.”
Soroh wos so good ot impersonoting Notolie thot she only broke chorocter ond begon octing like herself ogoin ofter
the womon colled her by her reol nome.
As the most powerful worrior Somuel hondpicked for Notolie, Soroh wos still os copoble os ever even though she
wos injured becouse Zophie did not shoot her vitols.
Soroh slowly got bock on her feet ond stoggered to the side of onother contoiner before tying pieces of cloth she
tore from her shirt oround her wounds to stop the bleeding.
Zophie's eyes grew even wider when she finolly reolized whot wos going on. “S-She's not... Notolie.”
“You're obsolutely right,” responded Notolie cosuolly. “The reol Notolie is stonding behind you now. Whot you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthought you hod wos merely my substitute. Now you're mine.”
“A substitute? Thot womon wos someone you troined to impersonote you?” roored Zophie with blood-red eyes.
“How dore you fool me with o substitute!”
“Impossible! How did this happen?” exclaimed Zophie as her pupils dilated in shock. Natalie is right in front of me
right now, so why does the person behind me sound just like her?
“Get up, Sarah. Find a place to tend to your wounds,” Natalie ordered the injured woman on the ground.
“Yes, Mrs. Bowers.”
Sarah was so good at impersonating Natalie that she only broke character and began acting like herself again after
the woman called her by her real name.
As the most powerful warrior Samuel handpicked for Natalie, Sarah was still as capable as ever even though she
was injured because Zophie did not shoot her vitals.
Sarah slowly got back on her feet and staggered to the side of another container before tying pieces of cloth she
tore from her shirt around her wounds to stop the bleeding.
Zophie's eyes grew even wider when she finally realized what was going on. “S-She's not... Natalie.”
“You're absolutely right,” responded Natalie casually. “The real Natalie is standing behind you now. What you
thought you had was merely my substitute. Now you're mine.”
“A substitute? That woman was someone you trained to impersonate you?” roared Zophie with blood-red eyes.
“How dare you fool me with a substitute!”
Natalie would rather not waste her breath to explain herself. It's not as if any good soldier was ever above playing
dirty. If I hadn't fooled Zophie with Sarah, I would've fallen into her trap and lost not only my bargaining chip but
also my life. She'd probably even torture me to death.
“I never knew how cunning you were, Natalie! How dare you trick me!” Zophie bit her lip, upset that Natalie had got
the better of her.
“I could say the same of you. The exchange hasn't even started, and my substitute has already been shot twice. Tell
me, where are you hiding Yumi? You won't get the jade key until you tell me where she really is. I don't think I need
to remind you that if you play tricks with me, not only will you die before my daughter, but you'll also never have
the key. I heard Blaze has been looking for it and that it was rumored to be related to Loang's national treasure. Of
course, I'll be sad if Yumi dies, but she's just a kid. Whether you get to live and keep the jade key depends solely on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyour decision.”
What Natalie feared most was Zophie deciding to take Yumi to the grave with her. She did not care about Zophie or
Blaze but the girl's safety.
Zophie kept silent as she thought about Natalie's words. I didn't get the jade key or avenge Gale, so how is it worth
losing my life just to make Natalie shed some tears?
After some careful consideration, Zophie lifted her hands up high and uttered, “Fine. You have my word, Natalie!
We'll talk about the jade key later, but you have to promise me you won't hurt me after I bring you to the kid.”
“Enough talking. Get moving!” said Natalie harshly.
Even though Zophie did not appreciate Natalie's tone, she had no choice but to lead the way in silence since she
was at Natalie's mercy.
Sarah wanted to follow Natalie but did not because the woman gave her a look.
Natalie did not want Sarah to take any more risks even though the woman's vitals were not shot. She's already
done enough as my substitute.
Knowing what the look meant, Sarah could only stay where she was and wait for orders.
Natalie followed Zophie and headed toward the north.
