The reporter swallowed hard. "I won't tell you, not with the way you're acting." "What way? You expectto treat you like royalty or something?" Pearl retorted.
"We live in a country with laws. If you harm me, you'll end up in jail," the reporter shot back, trying to sound brave.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPearl couldn't help but laugh. "Jail? You think I'm scared of going to jail?" She noticed he didn't seem scared at all, which intrigued her. "Ever heard of Evil Spirits?" The reporter's face went pale. He knew about Evil Spirits, a nthat made everyone tremble. But he'd always thought he would never encounter them. Now, the mention of them by this seemingly harmless woman threw him off balance.
"Who are you to them?" he asked, a hint of fear in his voice.
"It's clear I have spower, right?" Pearl said calmly.
Even Esther, who was usually unfazed, was taken aback by this revelation. "Pearl, you're the leader of the gang?" she whispered, shocked.
Pearl felt stressed out. "I can't get into that right now. I'll explain later," she said quickly, and Esther nodded in understanding.
The reporter seemed less confident now. He knew of the organization's reputation; they were not to be messed with.
"So, will you answer my question now?" Pearl asked with a gentle smile.
"I..." The reporter faltered, realizing he was outmatched. "Fine, I'll be honest. I was hired by Lawson Enterprises, but I haven't been paid yet, so really, it's not my problem." He tried to distance himself from the mess he was in. Besides, he wasn't making that much money.

"You want to get out of this alive, right?" Pearl smirked.
The reporter quickly nodded. "Yes, absolutely. Askanything, I'll tell you everything.
Pearl was pleased with his cooperation. "Alright then, tellabout all your communications with them. What you discussed, any proof you have-send it all to me."
