Immediately, Tauro’s brow furrowed in alertness! “What are you planning? Let me tell you, the people looking for you have already left, and they won’t be coming back. You’d best not harbor any ill intentions! If you try to escape, you will be driven to madness. You won’t want that, would you?”
The look of fear on Calista’s face intensified! Her starry eyes gazed at him as she voiced her apprehension timidly. “I’m not planning on running away. How about this? Give me something to eat, and let me stretch a bit for now. I’ll let you tie me up again later. My hands have been bound for so long that they’ve gone numb.”
Even a deity would have been moved to compassion if they saw the pitiful look in her eyes. Additionally, all of Tauro’s villagers were outside. Even if he loosened the ropes, he assumed she wouldn’t dare to run. Thus, he agreed.
He pulled out some rather unappetizing bread and pickles from the cupboard, saying with embarrassment, “There isn’t any other food in my home. If you crave meat, I’ll fetch some for you tomorrow. However, life in the mountains is inherently tough, so you’ll have to let go of your old habits and get used to it!”
Calista nodded haphazardly, looking as if she was starving. Tauro had to exert a lot of effort to untie her because whoever had tied her up did a very thorough job. Not only was it tight, but it was also intricately looped from left to right, causing her beautiful hands to swell from the restricted blood flow!
After loosening the ropes, he saw that Calista didn’t move. That relieved him quite a bit as he thought she was properly afraid of him. Even if she were to misbehave again, he believed a few more punishments and a few more children would turn her obedient.
Calista struggled to eat the bread and pickles. It was only then she found herself in a state of nonplussed realization, which was that she really had been spoiled.
In the past, there wasn’t anything she didn’t eat. However, after living with Kallum for two years, eating that kind of plain bread was like swallowing wood shavings, causing her throat to ache. The faint, stale smell was also nauseating. Despite that, she managed to keep a straight face and finished eating it, washing it down with two large cups of water. Ads by PubFuture
Seeing her not minding the hardships, Tauro was happy. It was good that she could endure hardships. Although he admired her beauty and the aura of nobility around her, he had no intention of spoiling her. It was best to him if she was obedient, good at managing the household, beautiful, and generous! However, he wasn’t sure if she was a virgin, which was something he cared somewhat about. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
He licked his lips, noticing that Calista had finished eating. He quickly spoke. “I’ll tie you up, like we agreed. If you behave well, I’ll be gentle with you. Understand?”
Calista nodded fearfully. Seeing his lustful demeanor, she predicted that once he had tied her up again, he would definitely not give her another chance to say no.
She obediently turned around to let Tauro tie her up. Tauro was tempted not to, but he was still worried she might run away, so he decided to tie her up anyway!
As he lowered his head, Calista suddenly threw her head back with great force!
Tauro was pushed back two steps. In the next moment, Calista turned around and swiftly jabbed a needle into his neck. For two agonizing seconds, his entire body was paralyzed. He could only watch as Calista swiftly and forcefully slashed at his neck!

After the first chop, he hadn’t passed out. Calista struck him twice more before he finally lost
consciousness.

Before he could catch his breath, Calista had tied the man up. While doing so, she searched Tauro and discovered he didn’t have any
him with a piece of torn cloth, mication devices on him. Left with no other option, Calista gagged
him with a piece of torn cloth and shoved him under the bed.
After all was done, Calista sat on the bed, gasping for breath. Having been through such a desperate plight and even drugged by someone, she could only say that her luck wasn’t too bad, considering she had managed to knock out Tauro.
What now? She was utterly clueless about the situation outside the village. Furthermore, her strength hadn’t fully returned. The drug she’d taken would have rendered an average person unconscious for three days and nights. If it weren’t for her more robust constitution, she wouldn’t have woken up that early.
The best strategy, she believed, was to wait until nightfall. All she needed to do was to venture out, for she. was confident that Kallum was somewhere not too far away from her!
Meanwhile, Quincy was also released. After Daniel had gone.out for a bit, he returned and said, “Everyone outside is looking for us now. If we’re not careful, we might spend the rest of our lives in jail. My brother and I have taken such a big risk, and you’re only giving us a deposit of five hundred thousand. Isn’t that a bit unreasonable?”
“What do you want?” Quincy was also in a state of disarray at the time. Hearing that, she anxiously said, “Calista hasn’t been found yet, and you’re already thinking about money?”
Daniel wore a look of dissatisfaction. “I’ve already got all the men in the village searching. What more do you want? Do you expect my brothers and I to just wait around? What if the police catch us first? Wouldn’t I be at a great loss?”
Quincy wore an expression of hesitation. Seeing that Daniel was getting a bit angry, she didn’t dare to truly provoke him. Although she had already made it clear to her people that if anything happened to her, Daniel wouldn’t receive a single penny, she was still afraid of offending him. She feared that if everyone parted ways, all her hardships would have been for nothing.
Also, she still needed him to lead her out of such a perilous location! Ads by PubFuture
Thus, she said, “All right, I’ll give you some more money, but it’s agreed that you only get Calista is found. Otherwise, even if you kill me, you won’t get a penny!”
Daniel furrowed his brows, seemingly deep in thought. “How much more?”
“How does a hundred thousand sound?”

“No way!” He rejected it outright. “Add a million! Otherwise, I won’t spend a day with you. At worst, I’d rather not take the money at all!”
