Not A Small-Town Girl

Chapter 46

"They couldn’t have posed a threat to me," Danielle said calmly. Her strength was unquestionable from the fact that she had established the Shadow Fortress at the border.

"Stop putting yourself in danger from now on. I’ll help you to achieve whatever you want," urged David, concerned.

Danielle’s heart mellowed. However, she could not guarantee that she would not do anything dangerous in the future. She smiled and said, "I know you’ll."

"You are Sphinx the gunsmith," David suddenly said with certainty.

Danielle looked David in the eye and asked, "How did you know?"

David grinned and answered, "Although the maker of the Black Rose is still a mystery, I think only Sphinx can make such a top-notch gun." Danielle figured David probably had special powers to sniff out all her identities. He had unraveled many of them, and he was spot on with this one.

"Mr. Charrington, are you saying that Mrs. Charrington is the mysterious Sphinx?" Nathan shouted. He gapped in surprise.

David chided, "Why are you making such a fuss?"

Nathan was easily excited. He didn’t seem fit to be David’s assistant.

Elliot exclaimed, "Danielle, are you really Sphinx? I should have thought of it when I saw the pistol yesterday. How could an ordinary gunsmith make such a top-notch weapon?"

Elliot wondered how many more identities Danielle hid.

Danielle noticed everyone’s probing gazes and readily admitted, "Yes, I’m Sphinx."

Maximus looked at her with admiration and praised, "Danielle, you’re amazing. Sphinx is actually someone we know."

When David saw everyone surrounding Danielle, he glared at Nathan. It was all Nathan’s fault for making a fuss just now. Fortunately, Danielle was sitting on David’s lap now. So, David didn’t need to worry about being left out.

Nathan mumbled internally, ’Sphinx is my idol. Am I not allowed to show some excitement for meeting my idol in person?’

Nathan grumbled internally, but he didn’t dare to say anything to David.

"Danielle is sleepy. Everyone, please go back to your seats," David said gloomily. He did not want anyone to divert Danielle’s attention away from him.

Danielle argued, "I’m not sleepy."

David retorted childishly, "Yes, you’re."

David then said in a mellow voice, "Take a nap. We’ve a few hours to kill before we land."
