To be fair, Quincy’s words made a lot of sense. If the brothers didn’t even have Calista as a bargaining chip, even if they did obtain Quincy’s money, they probably wouldn’t be able to enjoy it for long.
After all, if they were dead, then there was no point in doing anything else.
With such thoughts, the two brothers momentarily set aside the matter of money. “All right, let’s find her first. However, we’re almost at our destination. There’s a chance that Calista might have been found by the villagers. They’re often out chopping wood and hunting.”
Just as Quincy was about to speak, she heard a group of people approaching. From the looks of it, they might have come looking for Calista!
Samuel was greatly startled. “No way! Despite how isolated it is, people have actually managed to find their way to Barbcrest Village? How long has it been? They must have flown here, right?”
“What do we do now?” Quincy was a bit panicked, completely lacking the ruthless determination she had when she had just killed someone.
Daniel made a swift decision. “First, let’s hide in the village. When the time comes, we’ll have the men from the village search Calista for us. These men act as if they’ve never seen a woman before. If I say that I’m offering Calista to them for free, they will definitely help us hide.”
“Really?” Quincy was somewhat uncertain. “The police have already found their way here. Perhaps the villagers, afraid of causing trouble, may hand Calista over if they found her.” Ads by PubFuture
Daniel let out a cruel laugh. “ Daniel let out a cruel laugh. “You don’t understand. These people are barely educated. They believe in the notion that individuals are held accountable for their own conduct. They treat human trafficking like livestock trading, so they a woman is some great offense.”

Only then did Quincy feel relieved, “All right, let’s hurry!”
The three individuals managed to the search party and stealthily infiltrated the village. As expected,
when the villagers heard from Samuel that a woman was being offered to them for free, they all agreed to search for Calista. They pledged not to reveal the trio’s whereabouts when the police arrived and even dispatched a large number of people to join the search.
At that moment, Calista was rubbing the ropes tied around her body against a large tree.
She had been too preoccupied with running to even think about untying the ropes that bound her. Since she was momentarily safe, she finally began to work on loosening the ropes.
However, the rope was made of abrasion–resistant nylon. Having gone without sleep, food, or water for a day and a night, she was already drained of energy. Her attempts to fray the rope were half–hearted at best. At that point, she was desperate to encounter someone. Of all the people who had come looking for her, just meeting one would be enough!

The man also spotted Calista. Taken aback, he exclaimed in a dialect that she barely understood, “My goodness! I’ve never seen such a beautiful woman in all my life!”
Calista turned her back to him and asked, “Can you help me untic the rope?” Ads by PubFuture

person’s gaze faltered for a moment. Upon seeing her bound by ropes, a sudden realization struck
“Are you a runaway wife from another village?” He reasoned, as in their village, women were shared among the men. Since he had never seen Calista before, he thought she must have escaped from a different village!
Calista knew the man was no good. Upon hearing his words, she dashed off into the depths of the jungle!
However, she was at a disadvantage against the native mountain man whose movements were swift and sure. After all, she was in a thick, deserted forest, and her hands were tied, so she was quickly caught! His eager hands moved to touch her, but he was halted by a single piercing gaze from her.
“Do you know who I am? There are people searching for someone outside, and that someone is me. If you dare lay a hand on me, none of the people in your entire village will have a moment’s peace!” Although her face was pale, she exuded an overwhelming presence!
She managed to stun the man on the spot.
However, he then thought about something and chuckled endearingly. “It’s all right. I’ll take you home and hide you. They won’t be able to find you. Once those people leave, we can get married.”
Instantly, Calista recognized a crucial detail, which was that the people looking for her were already very close!
Before Calista could think any further, she was/swiftly taken down by the man, and eventually hidden in a cart used for transporting firewood.
The man was no fool and was incredibly smart, threatening, “The women in our village are meant to be shared. If you’re smart, you’ll stay quiet. Otherwise, even I won’t be able to save you.”
At that moment, a chill ran through Calista’s heart. She never imagined her luck could be so dreadful, ending up in the hands of those people. What rotten luck!
When Quincy arrived at the village, everyone stared at her with a peculiar gaze. She used to think that those mountain people were foolish and useless, but when she got there, she felt the terrifying pressure they imposed upon her! She was so scared that she hid behind Daniel, not daring to peek out.
No sooner had they arrived than the police officers showed up.
The lead police officer asked the village chief, Burt. “Have any of you seen this woman before?” He presented a picture of Calista. Burt gathered all the men in the village, and each one of them claimed they had never seen her.
The police officer frowned impatiently. “You better behave, understand? Don’t think I’m unaware of your
