    Manley let out a yell, hastily reaching for the car door, ready to jump out. But he froze the moment his


    hand touched the handle. Turns out, Estelle hade to Kulha Mountain. What was she doing here all


    by herself?


    If he charged out now and hailed her, he’d spook her for sure, and she’d give him the slip again!


    Manley quickly racked his brain, sat tight, and kept his eyes on the bus pulling up in front of him.


    Estelle boarded the bus, which was already upied by a handful of locals. The curious gazes were


    sizing her up.


    She paid her fare and settled into a window seat.


    The bus hadn’t pulled away yet when a young couple rushed on board. As they spotted Estelle, the girl


    swiftly turned her head, and the boy didn’t dare strike up a conversation with Estelle.


    As the bus started to move. Estelle pulled her baseball cap down a bit, staring out of the window.


    Only after the rickety bus had driven away did Manley step out of his car. He remembered seeing


    Estelleing out of a nearby inn


    He started making his way towards the inn.


    The innkeeper was busy weaving baskets. She looked up as Manley entered, greeting him warmly,


    “Hello, are you looking for a room?”


    Manley scanned the ce, taking out a wad of money and cing it on the table. He asked, “The girl


    who just left on the bus, does she stay here?” “Which girl?” The innkeeper’s eyes lit up at the sight of


    the money, not quite catching what Manley had asked.


    The beautiful one in a dark green T-shirt!”


    ‘Oh, you’re talking about her. Yes, she’s been staying here for several days.”


    “Where’s she going?”


    The innkeeper finally took a good look at Manley, “And who might you be?”


    Manley put down another stack of bills, “Where’s she gone?”


    The innkeeper’s eyes sparkled, blurting out, Tinct Vige. She’s gone to Tinct Vige


    “What’s she doing there?”


    1 really couldn’t say!*


    Manley nodded, turning to leave. He got back in his car, looking worried.


    The vige was a bit of a mess, with lots of outsiders causing trouble and running scams. They


    targeted pretty, inexperienced young girls


    Could Estelle have been lured in? She might know some self-defense skills, but she was still just a

    student. She wouldn’t know the first thing about the harsh realities of the world!


    Where the heck was Jonathan? Why wasn’t he with Estelle?


    Manley became more anxious the more he thought about it. He got back out of the car to ask for


    directions to Tinct Vige, intended to follow her there


    Just as he started the car, his phone rang, “Who’s this?”


    “Mr. Scott, the boss has time now, you can bring the contract over!”


    Manley frowned, but quickly made a decision, “Tell him to wait, I’ve got something more important to


    deal with!”


    “Mr. Scott, what could possibly be so important? We’ve been waiting for so long, and the boss finally


    agreed to meet. How do you have something elsee up all of a sudden?”


    Manley hung up the phone impatiently.


    At this point, Manley seemed to have calmed down a bit. He got out of the car and returned to the inn


    again.


    Seeing him return, the innkeeper stood up excitedly, “What else do you want to ask?”


    Manley inquired: “Where can I buy a stun baton?”


    The car slowly pulled away from Kulha Mountain, heading south along the winding mountain road,
