A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 969

Calliope's brow knit with concern, and her team tensed, instantly on edge.

“What are they saying?” Rowan asked, turning to her. From the looks of it, these soldiers weren’t about to wave them through—were they about to be escorted somewhere instead?

The rest of the group fixed their eyes on Calliope, relying on her translation. She alone seemed to understand their captors. Her face grew grave as she attempted to reason with the soldiers, offering up some of their cargo as a bribe and hurrying to explain that their delivery was on a critical deadline—they couldn’t afford to be delayed.

“And how do we know you’re not spies? Maybe you’re off to bring in back-up!” one of the soldiers snapped, suspicion etched across his face.

“You heard me—move it! Enough with your nonsense!” barked another, brandishing his weapon. Clearly, they’d pegged Calliope’s team as enemy sympathizers.

Before Calliope could protest further, another squad of heavily armed soldiers stormed in, uniforms entirely different, faces equally hard. Without missing a beat, the newcomers launched into a tirade—hurling insults and curses at the first group. The air thickened with hostility as both sides erupted into a shouting match, the tension on a knife’s edge.

Calliope could only sigh. This was spiraling out of control. It looked like a full-on firefight was about to explode—and the last thing she needed was to get caught in the crossfire. She was running out of time.

She shot a silent warning look to Rowan and the others: if bullets started flying, they had to lie low and stay out of it, whatever happened. Getting involved now would only make this mess even harder to escape.

But that hope was dashed in the very next heartbeat. The two factions, unpredictably and almost in unison, drew their weapons and opened fire. Calliope and her team darted behind their truck, searching for any cover they could find. Thankfully, the two sides were so focused on trying to wipe each other out, they didn’t spare a thought for the strangers caught between them.
