Tatiana smiled. “Since they want to see us dead or mangled so badly, let’s give them exactly what they want.”

Hubert and Ann looked at their mom and giggled, covering their mouths. “Mommy’s going to be bad!”

It was a massive undertaking to put special effects makeup on over a hundred people, but Tatiana had the money to make it happen. With enough cash on the table, the job was done in half a day.

Standing above the crowd and looking down, the scene was horrifying.

Gashed bellies, exposed flesh, and blood everywhere. It looked like a massacre straight out of hell. Even the miners were spooked looking at each other.

Tatiana smiled, satisfied. She had everyone head back to the base and strike various poses while a few people took photos, making sure to capture the most gruesome angles possible.

Before long, those photos hit the internet and went viral

A series of images titled The Mining Disaster spread across every platform at lightning speed. Anyone saw them felt their heart drop at the sheer brutality.

At the same time, information about an auction for the mine suddenly appeared.

who

People immediately assumed the owner of Mine No. 9 must have met a grim end and the estate was being liquidated. But after seeing those photos, who would dare bid?

Everyone wanted to make money, but nobody wanted to die for it.

Except for one person, who watched the news with a look of pure satisfaction.

Tatiana saw the frenzy growing and knew the trap was set. Next was the auction itself.

Ordinary people wouldn’t risk bidding after such a disaster. The mastermind, however, would definitely make a move.

To keep the act believable, Tatiana couldn’t show her face. She needed a proxy.

“Tatiana, let me do it! I can handle it!” Tammy insisted.

“But…”

“No buts!”

Seeing her resolve, Tatiana gave in, but she warned Tammy not to take any unnecessary risks. Tammy promised she wouldn’t.

Still uneasy, Jasper suggested they send Xavier along. Out of all of them, Xavier knew the local landscape the best.

Tatiana reached out to him, and he agreed without hesitation.

When Tammy found out Xavier was coming, she patted her chest confidently. “Don’t worry. However I take him out there is how I’ll bring him back perfectly intact

“Actually… if things get sideways, listen to him, Tammy. Don’t be impulsive. Promise me.”

Tammy didn’t like the idea, but she couldn’t refuse Tatiana. She gave a reluctant nod

The two of them took the auction invitations and set off

Tatiana watched them leave, a sense of unease lingering I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

Jasper comforted her. “Don’t worry too much.”

She rubbed her temples, a sharp glint in her eyes. “Once I find out who’s behind this…”

Meanwhile in Foxtrot Town.

Xavier and Tammy arrived and checked into a hotel. Both were covered in dust and mud from the mining site, looking like beggars.

In the mining zone, everyone looked like that, so it didn’t stand out. But back in the city, they couldn’t miss the disgusted stares from the people around them.

Xavier felt the awkwardness. Once they checked in, he took Tammy out to buy clothes.

Tammy didn’t care. “I can just wash these. No need for new ones.”

“We need them. The auction is tomorrow night. you’ll need a gown.”

Fine then.” For the sake of the mission, she understood.

Luckily, she had a great physique and could pull off almost any style. Since they weren’t short on cash, she didn’t even look at the price tags, picking out a few sets of daily clothes and changing immediately.

Once they cleaned up, they looked like a completely different couple, both sharp and attractive enough to turn heads.

Xavier gave her a genuine compliment. “Much better. It suits you.”

Xavier, you look pretty sharp yourself!”

Xavier didn’t have any romantic feelings for Tammy. Perhaps because he had been such a failure as a brother in the past, he now looked at any girl younger than him with a protective, brotherly eye. To him, Tammy was a capable but innocent younger sister.

“Tammy, look over there. That’s where we’re going tomorrow night.”

“Where?”

“Right there.”

Tammy couldn’t see it clearly, so she leaned in close to him.

“Oh! Is it that hotel with the flower painted on it?”

“Yeah. It’s being held on the top floor.”

They discussed the plan for tomorrow in low voices. Because the details were sensitive, they had to stay

close to hear each other. To anyone watching, they looked like a devoted young couple.
