His Devious Rule

Any sane-minded criminal would stop her or change the plan. Whereas she was in the middle of a trade between Miles Johnson and a foreign man. Thus Alvin won\'t be on the suspect list. 

However, Anya regretted believing in Alvin to sit in Narnia. She should have known Alvin wasn\'t the kind to sit knowing she was stepping into danger. 

Why does she turn into a Goofball around her husband?

She whispered to Dot, [Connect him to the call.]

Each second after it was a timed bomb for her. If anybody enters the bedroom and finds out the burly man wasn\'t there, they will check the restroom and her disguise will be blown. It will put Jackson in more danger.

Shortly, Anya heard the beep in the earbuds and uttered, "Alvin, did you follow me?" It was a tone of interrogation, holding back from giving in to her emotions. 

The call line was silent for a few seconds. Alvin was controlling himself from nagging her. He had many questions at the tip of his tongue, yet he responded to her question, [I followed Miles Johnson. In the country E for a business.]

Yes, he indeed wanted to look through his connections and provide her assistance. At the same time, he wanted to end Miles\' chapter if Miles didn\'t show up at Anya\'s location. He never meant to harm her or her job.

Fabrication of the reason behind his presence. 

Anya wasn\'t sure if she should feel relief or get angry. Anyway, she warned him, having no time to convince him or get angry at him, "Don\'t you dare hover around Garnet. Get your work done and leave."

When her voice ended, there was no response from the other end for a few seconds before the call ended with a beep. Anya took a breath, hoping Alvin would understand the unsaid words. 

Now she understood why the department never likes to hire people who are linked with a strong background. With Alvin\'s move, Anya began doubting if she will get promoted to a random department or if she will have to resign.

"I\'m sorry." She whispered her apology to Dot for putting him on the spot. 

Grimacing to herself recalling Jason\'s bitter look, she stood at the door of the bedroom, hanging her head low. She had to fix her mood quickly.

All the men glanced at her and focused on the discussion. However, Jackson stared at her without seeing the burly man coming out. 

He dropped his gaze wondering how a slender, meek-looking girl handled the burly man without noise, he noticed her pale slender fingers beckoning him.

He swallowed hard. He couldn\'t understand how this girl was going to save them from so many men who were holding firearms. Anyway, he had no choice but to trust her. 

He asked the man next to him, "I need to use the loo."

The man gave him an annoyed look and commanded him, standing guard at the door, "Make it quick."

Jackson was passing by her when she turned around and whispered, "Lock the door."

A man snapped at her, "Hey, what are you whispering to him?"

Jackson\'s back stiffened, without daring to move. All the men\'s attention again shifted to Anya. The latter meekly responded as if she was going to cry any second, "I- I asked him to wait. S-sir is using the loo."

The same man grunted, "Don\'t talk."

Jackson gave a soft push to the door by his leg. The door slowly closed and latched on the door frame. 

"Ahh…" Anya jumped in fear and squeaked right when she heard the sound of the door latch. She couldn\'t let them be suspicious and go behind Jackson.

The men ignored her like an annoying clown. Anya curiously let the two men complete what they were saying in a foreign language. 

\'You have changed the plan. It is risky.\' The foreigner said in displeasure.

\'I apologize for haste this time. I need to lay low after completing my deal.\'

The foreigner raised his eyebrows upon hearing it. Miles had to reveal the truth, \'My father is imprisoned and the sources say that the cop is keeping an eye on me. I don\'t want to take a chance.\'

The foreigner visibly got angry after he heard about the cop and prison. He abruptly stood up,  \'How dare you start making the deal while you are under watch. The boss will be furious.\' His voice raised. 

Nevertheless, Miles looked all cool and confident, crossing his leg on the couch, \'Worry not. That cop is in Narnia. I have kept my eyes on her.\'

The foreigner didn\'t melt for that. He grunted his assistant who turned to her to get her and Jackson.

Although the major deal conversation was over when she was in the restroom, they had enough to prove their illegal acts. Thus she pulled the handgun out and recoiled the bullet.

\'Shot.\'

She shot right into the head of the foreign man giving him no chance even to feel the pain. The stunned men watched the foreign man slump on the floor and turned to the girl who didn\'t look like a meek girl anymore.

By the time they reacted with their firearm and pulled their slider, Anya rolled on the floor, opening fire at three men. Then she gripped the pocket knife at Miles\'s neck who was wide-eyed as soon as he guessed she was Anya in disguise.

His heart was slamming against his chest out of raw fear. Since the students were under their watch in flight and the airport does check on each student, it hadn\'t crossed them Emma could be the wrong person from the beginning.

"Kill her." Miles roared at his men as he tried to move. The knife penetrated a few layers of his skin and the sharp pain from his neck shot through his nerves, freezing him on the spot.

However, his men were helpless. They barely could aim at her. Her body was behind the couch, her head behind his head and barely her fingers were at their sight. They might end up killing Miles instead of her.

Anya warned the foreign man who was staring at her in bewilderment.

She spoke in English, "We aren\'t here for you." She made it sound like there were more cops for Miles and she had no idea what they were talking about. 

"Leave with your men. Now!" She commanded the man as she shot the other two men while eyeing him straight.

The foreign man stared at Anya. His identity was disclosed. He has to kill her. If he makes any move, she will kill him so he looked hatefully at Miles who was overconfident. He left hurriedly before he lost his life to a little girl.

Dot\'s confused voice sounded without understanding why she didn\'t take the man down, [I will take him down.] Because they can\'t trust the foreigner to leave without fighting.

Anya shot the last man who was trying to run out as she responded to Dot, "Let him go if he leaves." Because they don\'t want the whole criminal organization as their enemy yet. And Alvin had taught her that in the business, each businessman looks at his own advantage instead of helping another one. 

During the silence, Miles reached for the whiskey bottle and gripped the neck of it. She was strong with the handgun, what about her body? 

He clenched his teeth and swung his hand behind to slam the bottle on her head.
