The blast forced Sylvara to twist midair. She slammed one palm into the ground. In an instant, a thick ice wall shot up from the earth. The rocket struck the wall first, slowing its impact. Blake kicked off the ice wall, spun in midair, and landed steadily several feet away. The rocket that shattered the ice wall punched straight through it and exploded in the forest just as Blake touched down.

Bluebeard felt like he was losing his mind. Someone had actually blocked an MK heavy rocket launcher. “Who the hell is it? Stop playing ghost games and get out here!”

Sylvara slowly straightened up, one hand braced against a tree. The leaves at the treetop began to wither, but she stayed hidden in the bushes instead of stepping out.

“If you won’t come out, don’t blame me for getting rough,” Bluebeard cursed. The MK heavy rocket launcher on his shoulder began firing indiscriminately.

One tree’s leaves had not even fully turned yellow before another blast hit.

A walking 20 billion really had a temper.

Twenty billion with an attitude.

Sylvara’s temper was not any better. She pulled her hand back from the tree. An ice blade formed in her grip. Standing inside the bushes, she swung it straight at Bluebeard.

A long, razor-sharp ice blade tore through the air and slammed directly into the mouth of the rocket launcher on Bluebeard’s shoulder. The launcher froze solid instantly.

Sylvara burst forward like a gust of wind toward Agares. Just as her hand was about to touch the case he was holding, her wrist suddenly felt heavy. Agares caught her cleanly. His voice was cold and sharp like thunder. “Got you. So what should I call you? Miss Margot Thorn on, who’s been playing games with me using sloppy disguises, or Ms. Mordrel?”

Sylvara’s heart jolted, like a stampede crashing through her chest. Pure reflex kicked in and she tried to run.

She didn’t get the chance. Agares sensed her intent immediately. His grip tightened like iron, locking her in place as he warned her without mercy, “Trying to run? Do you want to keep that hand or not?”

Damn it.

Did her bargain-bin husband already suspect something and deliberately use the case as bait to lure her

out?

Since when did a straight-laced guy have this kind of awareness?

Was this a joke?

She refused to believe it.

With her intelligence and emotional awareness, there was no way she could lose to a detail-obsessed straight guy.

Sylvara snapped back sharply, “What are you thinking, Your Highness Agares? My 20 billion is about to get away. Let go, now.”

A few yards away, Blake, who had been listening closely stumbled and nearly fell over.

What the hell, that actually worked?

Sweetheart was a real oddball.

Could she not follow the script for once?

Finished

That bastard grabbing her had basically handed her an easy way out. All she had to do was go with the flow and blow her cover.

Instead, she chose to fight it to the bitter end and take the least normal path possible.

Did a fox as sly as her really not know the saying, “You can dodge today, but you can’t dodge forever”?

Agares froze.

In that split second, Sylvara spoke again. “Your Highness Agares, my name isn’t Margot Thornton and it isn’t Sylvara Mordrel either. I’m Sylvie. Your junior. You’ve got the wrong person. Don’t hold me up from earning 20 billion.”

The moment she finished speaking, she yanked her hand back.

She broke free from Agares’s grip, her body tilting as he foot slipped forward, and she sprinted straight toward the 20 billion.

Agares spun around instantly and reached for her again but her clothes brushed past his fingers.

She was gone like a gust of wind, charging straight at Bluebeard.

The MK heavy rocket launcher was frozen solid. Bluebeard could not even throw it away. He knew he had run into more than one monster today and tried to flee with the launcher still on his shoulder.

Sylvara was already behind him. She clamped a hand on his shoulder and yanked downward. Bluebeard was slammed flat onto his back, limbs flailing.

The rocket launcher crashed to the ground, and the icencasing it shattered across the dirt.

Sylvara bent at the waist, grabbed Bluebeard’s arm, and licked Smokewillow free. She bound his hands with Smokewillow, then gave a hard pull and dragged the 20 billion to his feet.

As the saying went, the most dangerous place was often he safest. Her bargain-bin husband using the case as bait meant that even if he suspected something, he was not fully certain yet. That gave her plenty of room to maneuver. She ripped off her mask. Under the lim streetlight, she held Smokewillow in one hand and raised the other with a catlike wave. “What a coincidence, Your Highness Agares. Are you here to catch the 20 billion too?”

“Twenty billion?” Agares tightened his grip on the case sightly. His dark eyes locked onto Sylvara. “He’s Bluebeard, ranked number two on the interstellar bounty list?”

Sylvara smiled, innocent and harmless. “Yep. Number two on the interstellar bounty list. My daddy said that if you catch him and hand him over to the military, you get 20 billion. Your Highness Agares, you know I just bought two planets. I don’t have the money for infrastructure yet. If I saw 20 billion and didn’t take it, my planets would be abandoned, right?”

Agares’s gaze slid past her, toward the space behind her.

Not far behind Sylvara, Blake stood there. Hearing her leaky, backstabbing daughter talk like that she had no choice but to walk over slowly. She pulled off her mak, revealing the disguised face of a refined middl aged man, and waved at Agares. “Baby, no matter who you offend, don’t offend money. A walking 20 billi is still 20 billion. No reason to turn it down, right?”
