He spoke gravely, yet the mountain people paid him no mind.

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? Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
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.
Callista had been missing for over thirty hours.
It was a journey of over ten hours by car from Horington to the mountainous area. Yet, in the end, the news abruptly ceased.
Thus, Kallum thought he needed to change his way of thinking.
He had the few human traffickers, who were mistakenly apprehended during that operation, be brought before him for a personal interrogation.
They had already been interrogated once before, and had admitted to a number of things, but none of it was what he was looking for. However, when those individuals saw Kallum, they all felt a chill in their hearts.
Daniel had truly done them in. Not only had he ruined their originally stable business, but they had even gotten themselves caught up in the mess.
They truly had no clue what Kallum was up to. They were utterly in the dark!
As their hearts quivered, they heard Kallum ask a rather peculiar question. “In this area’s villages, which is the most remote, most backward, and most barbaric toward women?”

His question was truly odd. After all, all those villages were remote and backward, and the men there se villages were remote and backward, and the men there treated women with brutality and savagery!
One of them, a sharp–minded individual, pondered seriously before speaking in an attempt to curry favor. “Those people are devoid of humanity! However, the worst of them all is Barberest Village! Most of the women taken there have been driven to madness!”
Kallum shared the same thoughts as everyone else.

long as they could bear children, those people didn’t care. Consequently, women who ended up there were abused. The obedient ones fared slightly better, but those who showed even the slightest hint of resistance were tormented to madness,”
The answer the human trafficker gave was both unex to and somehow anticipated by Kallum. s
He didn’t elaborate on what he meant by the “tormented,” Kallum could imagine what it was like. He scowled, not expecting that such lawless places existed in Chanaea!
Deep down, he was afraid. Given Quincy’s vicious nature, if Callie fell into her hands, she would surely be sold to the most dreadful of places. With that thought, he could no longer sit still, quickly issuing orders. “Tell me the exact location of Barbcrest Village. Also, Ryder, get the plane ready. I’m leaving immediately!”
Kallum acted swiftly, while Calista was also brought to the village by a mountain man.
A fellow villager asked, “Tauro, did you go out to chop wood again? By the way, while you were out there, did
you come across a woman?”
The man pushing Calista paused, quickly laughing as he said, “I didn’t see anything. In the mountains, there’s nothing besides birds. Why would I come across a woman?”
The other person chuckled and said, “Your timing is impeccable. A group of police officers just left, looking for someone. Thankfully, they’re gone. If they come a few more times, things will get unbearable.”
Tauro hastily asked, “They left?”
“Yeah,” the other person responded with a laugh. “We’ve hidden their targets so well that they couldn’t find anyone, not even the women or those three outsiders. They’re all hiding in the cellar. I’ll go and let them
out now.”
Calista, hidden in the wagon, was taken aback. Quincy’s group arrived here first? What a twist of fate.
Tauro inquired, “Are the strangers human traffickers?”
The other person smirked lecherously. “Apart from the two meri, there’s also a woman. You can tell at a glance she’s not with them. You better get ready. Who knows, we might have a wonderful time soon!”
Tauro speculated that the men in the village were surely interested in the female outsider. That was fine with him as it provided him with a cover.
Thus, without further conversation, he took Calista back home
After returning, he securely closed the doors and windows. With a grin, he rubbed his hands together and lunged toward Calista. Howeyer, Calista managed to hold him off with her foot.
“What are you doing? Now that you’ve returned with me, you’re my wife. I’m warning you, if you dare to resist, I’ll throw you out for all the men in the village to take turns with you!” Despite being captivated by

to follow through with his threats. It was merely an attempt
Suddenly, Calista wore a somewhat wronged expression. “Don’t hand me over. I’ll be obedient, okay?”
As she spoke, she withdrew her foot. Tauro revealed a satisfied smile. Then, Calista added, “However, I haven’t eaten anything for a few days. I’m nearly starving. Could you untic me so I can have something to
