Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 460

Worried for Pearl’s safety, Richard quickly shielded her and pulled her to the bushes nearby.

The boulders continued to roll down the mountains, making loud noises as they collided with the bluestone slab stairs.

Still shaken from the near miss, Pearl looked at Richard. “I’m so glad you pulled me to the side, or else I might have been crushed by those boulders.”

“Stop that nonsense.” Richard looked up toward the mountaintop and noticed a few shadowy figures moving about. As expected, it was someone’s scheme.

Pearl narrowed her eyes. “Did someone grab a chance to harm us knowing that we would be here today?”

“You’re smart.” After all the boulders had passed, Richard helped Pearl to her feet. “I think it’s too risky to take the cable car now, in case we’re targeted again,” he suggested, taking a deep breath and eyeing the nearby bushes. “How about we ascend the mountain from here?

An amusing thought crossed Pearl’s mind. “Are you suggesting a secret rendezvous?”

Richard gave her a bewildered look, wondering if she was alright.
