“Fifty thousand?” Cody shook his head. “No, I can’t. We’re not taking any jobs recently, for some reason, there’s been an influx of strangers in town all of a sudden. My boss said someone important from Horington has gone missing, and they’re searching everywhere for that person! We’ve been warned not to accept any work. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, we’ll all be in deep trouble!” 

Having finished speaking, he glanced at the woman on Daniel’s back, her head covered. He then jokingly said, “I heard that a woman is missing. Could it be the one you’re carrying?” 

The Hundeman brothers instantly grimaced, though their cover was maintained due to the veil of night. Then. Daniel spoke. “No way! If I had such ability, I would have been out enjoying my freedom long ago, not hiding in this forest. Flat rate! One hundred thousand! All you have to do is guide the way. This amount of money could buy you a wife!” 

His offer had Cody itching with anticipation! He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Daniel, you’re about to strike it rich, aren’t you?” 

Daniel said, “More or less, yeah. I was planning to retire after this last deal, but who knew such a thing would happen? Things are getting dangerous, or else I wouldn’t be in such a hurry to get rid of this good. If I were to be wrongly arrested, I’d be stuck in jail for life.”/ 

Hearing Daniel say that, Cody felt a bit relieved. So he’s afraid of being implicated in this mess. That’s why he’s in such a rush to deal with the goods in his hands. Makes sense. Well, one hundred thousand is indeed a significant 

amount. 

He rubbed his chin and spoke. “Deal! Follow me. I assure you won’t get caught!” 

There were towns within the vast mountains, but if one only traveled through the mountain paths without entering those towns, their destination would become unclear. That region was famously known for its towering mountains and winding paths. Without a guide, it was easy to lose one’s way, a stark contrast to the other mountains outside. 

Even the most formidable human traffickers, when they ventured into the mountainous area, had no choice but to pay the toll dutifully. That was the rule! Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Seeing how adept those people were, Calista understood that she had stumbled upon seasoned professionals. However, she didn’t “wake up.” If she did, they would force her to move on, and by staying unconscious, she was able to buy herself some time. Moreover, being carried by someone allowed her to regulate her breathing, and with a bit more time, she could metabolize the drug in her system. 

On the pitch–black mountain road, the group dared not use any form of light, so they blindly navigated through the wilderness. Suddenly, Quincy spoke up. “Why hasn’t she woken up yet? Could she be pretending to be asleep?” 

With a grunt, Daniel remarked, “I’m an old hand, and I can easily tell if someone’s genuinely awake or just pretending. Enough with the idle chatter! We need to get a move on!” 

Quincy pursed her lips, glancing at Cody, who was leading the way. She moved closer to Samuel, lowering her voice to say, “I know you’re an old hand too, but don’t underestimate this woman. Any woman who can firmly hold the heir of the Fairchild family in the palm of her hand is no simple character.” 

“You’re right…” Upon hearing that, Samuel walked over, gently lifted Calista’s eyelids, and pinched her soft flesh. Discovering that her body was completely relaxed, he finally spoke. “She’s still out! The medicine that the foreigner gave her really did the trick. She’s totally unconscious! Ar this rate she might sleen

“That’s great!” Quincy felt relieved. A day later, once the brought Calista to the village, everything would be settled. She planned to lay low abroad for a while once it was done. When the dust had settled, she would return to witness the outcome of Calista’s situation. 

“We’ve been traveling for so long. How much further until we reach our destination?” Quincy had probably never experienced such hardship before. Every once in a while, people would come searching in the mountains. If it weren’t for the group’s familiarity with the terrain and their ability to hide in mountain crevices and secret paths, they would have been caught long ago. 

Cody said, “What a nuisance. We’re almost there, but it seems like the village ahead is blocked off by someone. This forsaken place hadn’t seen a stranger for the past eight hundred years, yet now so many have arrived. The women brought there are bound to stir up trouble again!” 

“Don’t worry, they are quite good at hiding people. They’ll be fine,” Daniel said with a hint of unease. 

Cody didn’t overthink, leading Daniel and his crew on a detour. The day had grown cold, and after a morning spent on the move, they had no choice but to sit down for a rest and hydrate. 

Cody stole a glance at his silenced phone during a lull. He wished he hadn’t because the sight nearly made him jump. 

*D*mn, over a hundred missed calls! What happened? Was there a house fire or something?” He was so scared that he hurriedly returned the call. 

The person on the other end answered immediately, not even waiting for a second. They started by asking. “Cody, did you bring Daniel with you?” 

Upon hearing, Cody noticed that Daniel and his crew were engrossed in their meal. He discreetly distanced himself before pleading with a desperate look on his face. “Boss, I didn’t mean to bring people into the mountains. However, Daniel gave me a hundred thousand. How about I give you fifty thousand?” 

As soon as he said that, the person on the other end of the phone was taken aback, almost fainting! 

“A hundred thousand! You’re courting death!” Cody’s boss no longer had the energy to hurl insults. 

After a long pause, he finally spoke in a weak and breathless manner. “I don’t care how you do it, but you must immediately distance yourself from them! Never mind, it’s too late for that now. The police are already onto you. If it comes to it, hand him, over. Yes, you might end up in jail, but it’s better than losing your life! Don’t worry, we’ll look after your home. As long as you don’t betray us, our organization will provide your family with two hundred thousand in support! If you refuse, then you might as well be dead!”
