At the entrance stood a rather short man, sporting a buzz cut. He was sizing up Lenora with the same scrutiny one would use on merchandise. Turning toward the person behind him, he said, "Judging by her looks, she should fetch a good price." Lenora's heart immediately sank.

I encountered a human trafficker?

Lenora found her thoughts drifting to past instances of women who were kidnapped and sold to remote areas. Their experiences were each more tragic than the last. If it were truly as such, she feared that a fate worse than death awaited her. The man behind her looked worn and disheveled, his hair and beard appeared to have not been tended to in a while. His tone was somewhat impatient as he said "Give me the money, quick." Lenora felt a sense of familiarity.

A spark flashed through her mind, her pupils abruptly constricting as she stared at the disheveled man- outside.

Richie!

Due to the police manhunt and investigation, they had placed informants at various train stations, bus stations, and highway intersections. Richie found it impossible to leave Jacaster and had no choice but to keep hiding from place to place.

A couple of days ago, someone had discovered his hideout. They proposed a deal to him-pull off one last job, then sell the target to human traffickers, who would take the target to a remote mountainous region from where the target would never be able to return. This way, just like a decade ago, he could escape the country and evade capture.

Of course, Richie remembered. It was when Lenora uncovered new clues and reopened the investigation that he ended up in this miserable state.

He was filled with resentment. He despised how, after all these years, this wretched woman was still obsessing over this matter.

He agreed immediately, seizing Lenora to sell her to human traffickers, condemning her to a life trapped in the mountains, destined to be nothing more than a child-bearing tool for some old bachelor.

Richie should have accompanied the human traffickers in transporting Lenora out of Jacaster, and personally witnessed her being sold off to said remote mountainous region.

However, he was no fool. The police weren't naive. With Lenora's sudden disappearance, the authorities would only intensify their surveillance. It made it even more imperative for him to stay hidden. That was why he planned to take the money and lay low for a while, waiting for the right time to ve the country.

The short man pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket "Here."

"It's quite a lot. Do you still want it or not?"

"You...
