At the Jacobs residence, Sheldon walked Yvette to her door, trying to think of a reason to follow her inside.

But before he could speak, Yvette shut the door right in his face, completely cutting him off. Sheldon clenched his back teeth so hard he nearly cracked them.

This ungrateful woman... she's already followed me all the way to Dungo Village, so what's she still putting on airs for? Let's see if she's still so cold tomorrow after I hit her with that binding love spell, he thought. Trying to mask his frustration, Sheldon said cheerfully, "Well, Ms. Zeller, get a good night's rest. Tomorrow, I'll treat you to some Dungo Village specialties."

Sheldon waited a while, and there was no response from inside. He knew she'd heard him, but he had no choice but to leave and head down to the basement to vent his desires on the women there.

In the dead of night, when every household in the village had turned off their lights and people were sound asleep, Yvette opened her eyes, instantly alert, her gaze sharp.

She got up, dressed, pulled on a baseball cap to shield half her face, and slipped out the door. Just as she reached the courtyard of the residence, a patrol team passed by.

Swiftly, Yvette slipped behind a pillar, merging seamlessly with the shadows. In the darkness, a faintly cold smile played on her lips.

Yvette wondered, 'A village chief's residence has this many well-trained guards? These people don't seem like ordinary villagers from Dungo Village.

'Each one carries a deadly aura. It's likely they've all taken more than one life. The Jacobs family is... interesting!

Once the patrol moved on, Yvette stepped out from behind the pillar, her destination set Holden's study.

In the study, lights burned brightly. Yvette walked to the blind spot by the window, her gaze sharpening. Inside, Holden was on the phone, his expression grave as he listened to the man on the other end.

He spoke in a cold voice. "Mr. Miller, I've already sent you three groups. If this continues and they trace anything back to me, I'll be in serious danger."

The man on the other end replied, and Holden's expression lightened considerably, though he insisted on tripling his price.

After hanging up, Holden's face grew dark again. The people from South East Aploth were demanding more and more, and he was barely keeping up with the supply. His only option was to accelerate the cultivation of new poisonous insects. However, the population in Dungo Village was limited, and most of the blood had already been taken. If he kept this up, everyone in the village would be at risk of dying, which would certainly raise suspicions.

The next second, the bookshelf moved aside automatically, revealing a hidden passage. Holden glanced back at the
