Immediately, Tauroâs brow furrowed in alertness! âWhat are you planning? Let me tell you, the people looking for you have already left, and they wonât be coming back. Youâd best not harbor any ill intentions! If you try to escape, you will be driven to madness. You wonât want that, would you?â
The look of fear on Calistaâs face intensified! Her starry eyes gazed at him as she voiced her apprehension timidly. âIâm not planning on running away. How about this? Give me something to eat, and let me stretch a bit for now. Iâll let you tie me up again later. My hands have been bound for so long that theyâve gone numb.â
Even a deity would have been moved to compassion if they saw the pitiful look in her eyes. Additionally, all of Tauroâs villagers were outside. Even if he loosened the ropes, he assumed she wouldnât dare to run. Thus, he agreed.
He pulled out some rather unappetizing bread and pickles from the cupboard, saying with embarrassment, âThere isnât any other food in my home. If you crave meat, Iâll fetch some for you tomorrow. However, life in the mountains is inherently tough, so youâll have to let go of your old habits and get used to it!â
Calista nodded haphazardly, looking as if she was starving. Tauro had to exert a lot of effort to untie her because whoever had tied her up did a very thorough job. Not only was it tight, but it was also intricately looped from left to right, causing her beautiful hands to swell from the restricted blood flow!
After loosening the ropes, he saw that Calista didnât move. That relieved him quite a bit as he thought she was properly afraid of him. Even if she were to misbehave again, he believed a few more punishments and a few more children would turn her obedient.
Calista struggled to eat the bread and pickles. It was only then she found herself in a state of nonplussed realization, which was that she really had been spoiled.
In the past, there wasnât anything she didnât eat. However, after living with Kallum for two years, eating that kind of plain bread was like swallowing wood shavings, causing her throat to ache. The faint, stale smell was also nauseating. Despite that, she managed to keep a straight face and finished eating it, washing it down with two large cups of water.
Seeing her not minding the hardships, Tauro was happy. It was good that she could endure hardships. Although he admired her beauty and the aura of nobility around her, he had no intention of spoiling her. It was best to him if she was obedient, good at managing the household, beautiful, and generous! However, he wasnât sure if she was a virgin, which was something he cared somewhat about.
He licked his lips, noticing that Calista had finished eating. He quickly spoke. âIâll tie you up, like we agreed. If you behave well, Iâll be gentle with you. Understand?â
Calista nodded fearfully. Seeing his lustful demeanor, she predicted that once he had tied her up again, he would definitely not give her another chance to say no.
She obediently turned around to let Tauro tie her up. Tauro was tempted not to, but he was still worried she might run away, so he decided to tie her up anyway!
As he lowered his head, Calista suddenly threw her head back with great force!
Tauro was pushed back two steps. In the next moment, Calista turned around and swiftly jabbed a needle into his neck. For two agonizing seconds, his entire body was paralyzed. He could only watch as Calista swiftly and forcefully slashed at his neck!

After the first chop, he hadnât passed out. Calista struck him twice more before he finally lost
consciousness.

Before he could catch his breath, Calista had tied the man up. While doing so, she searched Tauro and discovered he didnât have any
him with a piece of torn cloth, mication devices on him. Left with no other option, Calista gagged
him with a piece of torn cloth and shoved him under the bed.
After all was done, Calista sat on the bed, gasping for breath. Having been through such a desperate plight and even drugged by someone, she could only say that her luck wasnât too bad, considering she had managed to knock out Tauro.
What now? She was utterly clueless about the situation outside the village. Furthermore, her strength hadnât fully returned. The drug sheâd taken would have rendered an average person unconscious for three days and nights. If it werenât for her more robust constitution, she wouldnât have woken up that early.
The best strategy, she believed, was to wait until nightfall. All she needed to do was to venture out, for she. was confident that Kallum was somewhere not too far away from her!
Meanwhile, Quincy was also released. After Daniel had gone.out for a bit, he returned and said, âEveryone outside is looking for us now. If weâre not careful, we might spend the rest of our lives in jail. My brother and I have taken such a big risk, and youâre only giving us a deposit of five hundred thousand. Isnât that a bit unreasonable?â
âWhat do you want?â Quincy was also in a state of disarray at the time. Hearing that, she anxiously said, âCalista hasnât been found yet, and youâre already thinking about money?â
Daniel wore a look of dissatisfaction. âIâve already got all the men in the village searching. What more do you want? Do you expect my brothers and I to just wait around? What if the police catch us first? Wouldnât I be at a great loss?â
Quincy wore an expression of hesitation. Seeing that Daniel was getting a bit angry, she didnât dare to truly provoke him. Although she had already made it clear to her people that if anything happened to her, Daniel wouldnât receive a single penny, she was still afraid of offending him. She feared that if everyone parted ways, all her hardships would have been for nothing.
Also, she still needed him to lead her out of such a perilous location!
Thus, she said, âAll right, Iâll give you some more money, but itâs agreed that you only get Calista is found. Otherwise, even if you kill me, you wonât get a penny!â
Daniel furrowed his brows, seemingly deep in thought. âHow much more?â
âHow does a hundred thousand sound?â

rest once
âNo way!â He rejected it outright. âAdd a million! Otherwise, I wonât spend a day with you. At worst, Iâd rather not take the money at all!â
