Upon hearing this, the village chief instantly became irate, raising his voice to exclaim, “She is a woman we purchased! She’s ours now. We paid for her! No chance you’re taking her away!”
After he finished speaking, a group of about a dozen men, armed with knives and axes, stepped forward from behind him. They had a determined look about them, ready to fight to the bitter end.
At that moment, Kallum wasn’t in the mood to deal with such matters. He directly questioned the village chief, “Where is Calista?”
The village chief’s eyes darted around, contemplating. Many had already set out in pursuit of that woman, he was certain they would catch her sooner or later. When that time came, he planned to have them hide her in the mountains while he feigned ignorance on his end. Surely, they wouldn’t dare lay a finger on him, would they?
He had seen such spectacles many times before. In the past, whenever the police arrived with a show of force, as long as the entire village stood together, outsiders didn’t dare to harm them. In fact, it was they who had left the police crying out in pain. They had even killed one before, and hadn’t there been no repercussions? With this thought, his previously trembling legs steadied, and he felt a surge of confidence.
“I’ve told you before, I have no clue about this Calista or whoever you’re looking for. Didn’t you send someone earlier today? If she’s not here, she’s not here! If you continue to bother us like this, we won’t be so polite. We may be simple folk living in the mountains, but we do have our tempers!”
“Right!” The villagers around him echoed in agreement.
Seeing their obstinate and unyielding demeanor, Kallum’s patience had reached its limit. Ads by PubFuture
At that moment, Quincy suddenly cried out, “I know! I know! Mr. Kallum, I’ll tell you, as long as you rescue me!”
The villagers‘ expressions shifted, but at that moment, they didn’t dare to take any action. Kallum strode over to Quincy, fixing her with a stare as he demanded, “Speak up!”
“Let me out!” Quincy exclaimed loudly.
With a wave of his hand, Kallum released Quincy. Tearfully, she asked, “If I tell you, will you take me away?”
Kallum’s fist clenched tightly in an instant. The hostility surging between his brows silenced Quincy, who had initially wanted a promise from him, leaving her unable to utter a single word.
With her head bowed in fear, she caught sight of the foul, dirty liquid on her body. A surge of resentment welled up in her eyes as she spoke in a low voice. “I had captured Calista, but she escaped halfway. We lost her around the watershed, we searched for a long time but couldn’t find her. We had no choice but to come here, hoping the villagers could help us search. Little did we expect they would…” At this point, she began to sob. She looked up at Kallum, her eyes filled with despair, and choked out. “I… I know I deserve punishment! I’m willing to go to jail, as long as you take me away…”
Quincy’s words elicited a variety of reactions from the villagers, their faces a mix of confusion and surprise. They didn’t understand why Quincy would help them deceive others. Wasn’t it strange? After all,
they hadn’t treated her well, vet che was still sneaking on their behalf

iter all, when one was pushed to the brink, what else could they care about? Surely, preserving their life would be of utmost importance.
Therefore, Quintus hastily said, “Mr. Kallum, I’ll immediately take people to the watershed!”
Kallum, however, stopped himself. He stared at Quincy as if he had never truly seen this woman before. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
He and Calista shared the same philosophy, live and let live. Furthermore, now that Calista’s life was going smoothly, the resentment in her heart gradually faded. Aside from keeping Quincy down, Calista had no intention of completely eliminating her.
He had always thought that Quincy was nothing more than a twenty–year–old girl. Other girls her age were still studying, so how much trouble could she possibly cause, no matter how rebellious she was?
However, Quincy was truly something else. It was as if she was rotten to the core, emanating a vile stench. It seemed as though her sole purpose in life was to hurt Calista. The fact that such a repulsive woman could exist was nothing short of a miracle. Ads by PubFuture
“Where did you say Callic was?”
He interrogated her, word by word, and Quincy, overwhelmed by his intensity, stepped back twice, lowering her head. Yet, she gritted her teeth and said, “We got separated at the watershed, I…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Kallum had lifted her off the ground by her neck.
She slammed hard against the wooden cage, her body still bare. Her feet kicked out wildly, but Kallum’s grip only tightened. His eyes grew increasingly red, and there was a ferocity in his features that could tear
a person apart.
“You’re still lying!” He was genuinely ready to throttle Quincy, roaring at her, “You have the audacity to still lie through your teeth!”
Quincy initially thought she could get away with her half–truths and lies. However, to her surprise, she was exposed sooner than she expected. She had something to say, but she was so flustered that she couldn’t utter a single word. Her face flushed a deep shade of red, her eyes rolled back in embarrassment. She felt like she was going to die from the humiliation.
However, Kallum didn’t have much time to waste on this despicable woman. Suddenly, he let go of Quincy, pulled out his gun, and pointed it directly at the village chief. “I’m giving you one last chance, is Callie here?” he demanded.
The village chief saw the ruthless way he had just treated Quincy, and it made him feel uneasy. Especially since Quincy was now on the ground, convulsing as if she was on the verge of death, it made him. somewhat hesitant to speak.
But… he thought of the dozens of people standing behind him. Could this person really dare to kill? Event if he refused to admit it, individuals were held accountable for their own conduct. Hence, he didn’t believe this person would dare to harm him.
So he said, “I have no clue! You might want to look elsewhere! The woman just now also mentioned that your Callic is not here…”
