The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1067

Chapter 1067

Arabella was about to make her move when she recognized the man standing before her. It was Mr. Sampson, the same man she had seen earlier.

He had managed to escape from the neighboring balcony, clutching his injured arm. His white shirt was spotted with blood, and a group of seven or eight men were trailing behind him.

Perhaps not expecting to run into Arabella here, Sampson was surprised. The girl wasn't wearing a mask. Her striking features were exposed, and she bore a striking resemblance to his sister.

The group of men quickly lunged at Sampson. Arabella, with her swift and agile movements, stepped in to help.

The auctioneer's voice boomed excitedly from the speakers on the wall, "Nightshade for the first call at 3 million!"

Upon hearing this, Arabella turned her gaze to the auctioneer who was gripping his gavel, eager to finalize the sale.

As two men lunged at her with their knives, Arabella kicked their wrists away, swiftly knocking them to the ground.

"Nightshade for the second call at 3 million!"

Arabella's eyes darted towards the button next to the couch. Just as she was about to press it, two more men swung their knives at her.

“Nightshade for the third and final call at 3 million, sold! Let's congratulate Mr. Murray for successfully bidding on today's first rare item-- Nightshade! Let's give him a big round of applause!"

The camera focused on Mr. Murray, who was smiling and nodding under the spotlight.

Arabella was speechless.

Sampson could see the frustration and disappointment in the girl's eyes. Had she come tonight intending to bid on Nightshade?

The next lot was quickly introduced.

Arabella had already taken down four or five men.

Sampson was surprised at the girl's abilities. It seemed that these men were no match for her.

The remaining three or four men, realizing they were outmatched, jumped overboard and swam away.
