A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 992

This wasn’t the kind of thing an ordinary person would ever face in their lifetime.

Without warning, Calliope slammed on the brakes. She grabbed the car’s PA system and spoke rapidly in the Stormgardian language. Damien couldn’t understand a word, but it was obvious—she was negotiating with Black Spider’s men.

After a short exchange, the men outside stared back at them, suspicious and tense. Calliope reached for the car door, but Damien caught her by the arm.

“Calliope, what are you doing? Don’t get out. The minute you do, they’ll fill you with holes.”

“They won’t,” she replied, cool as ever. “I’ve already explained everything.” Without giving him a chance to argue, she swung the door open and stepped out.

Immediately, a dozen gun barrels fixed on her.

Damien hesitated, then got out too, instinctively moving in front of her as a shield.

He half-expected a gunshot, but nothing happened. The men just stood there.

“They’re… not shooting?” Damien asked, surprised.

“I told them I’m here to see Black Spider, and that I know him,” Calliope said softly. “They’re more afraid of upsetting him than me, so they’re following orders.”

“Right. Since when do you speak Stormgardian?” Damien whispered as he walked beside her, his eyes scanning the grounds warily.
