They thought, Isn’t she just a woman? Even if we find her, we won’t hand her over. And even if we are discovered, these people won’t execute us all over a single woman?

Thus, once again, they all shook their heads in unison.

The police officer was slightly irked. He pulled out photographs of Quincy, the Hundeman brothers, and Cody. “Have any of you seen these individuals?”

That time, everyone exchanged a subtle glance, then shook their heads, claiming they hadn’t seen those people.

In reality, those three individuals were in their secret cellar, a place absolutely untraceable by outsiders.

The police didn’t believe them, going from house to house, only to find that there were hardly any women in the village. The officers suspected that their targets had been hidden away, which instantly escalated their frustration.

In the end, though the police thought mountain people were scum, they found nothing and had no choice but to leave. As soon as they left, the men in the village sprang into action. They had heard from Daniel that the woman who escaped was more beautiful than a fairy! If they found her, she would be theirs!

Moreover, with so many people outside searching for a single person, their own search wouldn’t seem out of place.

News from all quarters came pouring in. No one knew where Daniel might have sold Calista because there were dozens of villages in that vast area. The area’s guide, Cody, had also disappeared. Those who returned from visiting the various villages reported having no luck finding Calista. As Kallum gazed at the expansive mountains before him, he felt a surge of anxiety.
