The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 457

Chapter 457: Chapter 457: They Were Surrounded by Tom

"Wha... what do we do? If we get caught, will we turn into ghosts?"

Alicia Sharp didn’t dare to treat this as a mere cat-and-mouse game anymore.

This was clearly a ghost-catching game!

What if the one caught becomes the ghost...

Lucas Jennings and the other four boys instantly felt frightened at her words. Scarlett Jennings just glanced at them and then turned to Alicia,

"What are you afraid of? You’re a cat too."

Alicia, reminded by her, was momentarily stunned and then suddenly realized,

"Yeah, I’m a cat, what am I afraid of?"

Scarlett looked again at Lucas and the others, "You all are neither cats nor mice, so there’s nothing to worry about."

"What?!"

Lucas and the others didn’t immediately grasp it, so Scarlett showed them the map’s positioning display again.

They hadn’t looked closely before, but at present, the gathering location of the group showed only two Jerrys and one Tom.

In other words, the map’s default cat and mouse roles were only for Scarlett, Daniel Wright, and Alicia Sharp.

Scarlett guessed that Lucas and the photographer, like others, were dragged into the Ghost Realm, but because they didn’t wear the player-representative glowing bracelets or join the map group, in the game, they didn’t belong to any side.

Implying that the cats on their way toward them were targeting Scarlett and Daniel Wright, the two mice.

"We can’t avoid Tom’s pursuit with so many people; let’s temporarily separate,"

Daniel Wright had just proposed when Lucas and the boys almost instantly clung closer to Scarlett.

Knowing this was a Ghost Realm, they weren’t going to leave their newfound ’backer’.

Lucas knew his reaction was cowardly and tried to cover up,

"Sis, it’s not that I’m scared; I just want to protect you."

The boys nodded fervently like chickens pecking rice, agreeing,

"Yeah, sis, we want to protect you too."

Not to mention them, even Alicia, in the cat group, didn’t want to separate from Scarlett now.

"Staying together isn’t bad," Scarlett suddenly spoke, "We can use this chance to verify if non-game people get caught, would anything happen."

As Scarlett spoke, she calmly lifted her gaze toward a certain area.

The group followed her sight, spotting several figures turning a corner, wearing multiple glowing bracelets that showed the number of mice they’ve caught tonight.

Each in the mouse group had two bracelets; if caught, one would be handed over, keeping one for themselves.

From afar, they saw Scarlett and Daniel, and immediately shouted,

"There they are! Two Jerrys are here!"

The shout seemed like a signal; the sound of swishing came from several directions as more cat group members started approaching Scarlett.

They hadn’t noticed the surrounding strangeness, still excitedly pointing at the two,

"Brothers, capture them! Our Tom army must win tonight!"

"Hoo~"

In response to the call, a large crowd surrounded them.

Lucas and the boys were scared stiff.

Alicia quickly reacted, standing in front of everyone, shouting,

"I found them first! You can’t take mine!"

Lucas and the boys looked at Alicia in admiration.

Huh? You can do that??

The cat group players attempting to surround them halted but some still blocked the way,

"Then you’d better catch them quickly."
