Chapter 19


    After hesitating for a moment, Henry stopped knocking on the door. He said to Vania, “Boss, it


    seems like there‘s nobody in the house. The vige‘s terrain is tooplex, and we‘re short of


    manpower. It‘s gettingte now, so how about we spend the night in the car and make ns


    tomorrow morning?”


    Leo had a bad feeling as well. He chimed in, “Henry is right. If anything wrong happens, things


    might get pretty tricky. It‘s important to save Little Master, but if we‘re all ambushed and trapped


    here, we‘ll lose more than we gain. And besides, I don‘t think anything will happen to Little Master


    tonight.”


    Vania furrowed her brow. How could she not understand what Henry and Leo meant? She had


    been waiting for such a long time; why would she mind waiting a night longer? At this very moment,


    however, she had a sense that her child was no longer here. This wasn‘t the first time such a thing


    had


    already able to ept it with equanimity. Still, unwilling to resign herself to the oue, she said,


    “Let‘s open the door and take a look. Don‘t go in, though. Be careful.”


    Henry nodded. “Got it,” he said while cing his hand on his waist and curling his fingers around


    the weapon he had brought with him. Then, he kicked the door open effortlessly with a thud. The


    door wasn‘t locked.


    The house was so small that one could see the inside of it at a nce. It was dpidated and


    empty, with no sign of a human.


    This is bad, thought Henry to himself. He immediately stepped back, saying, “Boss, we gotta get out


    of here.” There was nobody in the house, but the candle was lit. Obviously, someone had purposely


    set them up. If their purpose was only to prevent them from finding Vania‘s son, they wouldn‘t have


    needed to go to so much trouble. Obviously, this was a trap designed for them.


    Upon hearing Henry‘s words, Vania immediately realized what was going on. She and her men had


    found out the address on their own, but Mnie knew the address too. If it weren‘t for Mnie‘s


    instigation, how could the bunch of human traffickers possibly have moved her son away overnight


    from the small and poorly connected mountain vige? I wondered why Mnie would give me the


    real address so easily. Turns out she‘s waiting to spring a trap on me here, huh? Ha! She‘s really


    gone out of her way to deal with me, hasn‘t she? She had imagined so many scenes of her


    reuniting with her son, but now, all her hopes and efforts had gone up in smoke. At this moment,


    she was disappointed as well as resentful.


    However, just as the three of them were about to leave, six burly men suddenly popped up from


    nowhere and blocked their path.


    By the dim candlelight in the house, Vania, Henry, and Leo could vaguely make out the six men‘s


    burly figures and the ferocious looks on their faces. Obviously, they were here to find trouble with


    them. In an instant, the three of them ced their hands on their waists and held onto their


    weapons, having readied themselves for battle.


    Just then, one of the six men stepped forward and guffawed loudly in front of Vania, saying vulgarly,


    “Wow, what a hottie indeed! Seems like we didn‘te here for nothing today.” Then, he stopped


    laughing and said to Vania with a ferocious expression, “Just save us the trouble and don‘t resist so


    that you‘ll suffer less. The three of you are no match for us, anyway.”


    Vania was now certain that these people were after her life. If the three of them were to die in this


    remote mountainous area, no one would probably be able to trace it down to Mnie. At such and


    ce, she and her men could only depend on themselves. Trying to buy time for an opportunity to


    escape, she said, “Who are you? And what do you want, money? As long as you let us off, the five


    million in cash in our hands will be yours.”


    The six men burst outughing upon hearing Vania‘s words. “Haha! Bro, seems like we didn‘te


    to this f*cking ce for nothing; we can earn five million more! Haha...”


    The man who had stepped forward just now seemed to be their leader. With a sprig dangling from


    his lips, he said roguishly, “You guys are right. This babe looks delicate and tender. How


    bootylicious.”


    “Haha! Bro, let‘s not waste our breath talking to them. Just hurry and finish them off before we go


    back to town and paint the town red.”


    Their leader replied, “You guys are right.” Then, he leered at Vania, saying, “We‘ll have both your


    money and you today.”


    “How dare you!” Henry and Leo immediately stood in front of Vania to protect her.


    Upon seeing this, the six men roared withughter once again. “Wow! These two toy boys want to


    be the hero who saves the damsel in distress! Haha... they said.

    As they spoke, they began to stretch their wrists, necks, and joints, which produced cracking


    sounds as they did so.


    “Bro, let‘s hurry up and strike instead of wasting our breath talking to them.”


    “Our hands are itching terribly.”


    “Just the sight of this little hottie makes my body gp limp: Let‘s hurry up and take her down for our


    enjoyment.”


    The men‘s off–color remarks were disgusting to hear.


    Then, as their leader waved his hand, they immediately rushed at Vania and the others after having


    produced some gas bombs in their hands from nowhere.


    All of a sudden, the gas bombs exploded in front of Vania and the others, producing thick fog that


    made them unable to see the six men before them. Vania took out the flying daggers used for self


    defense from the bag her three kids had given her before throwing them at the men.


    Startled, the six men swore, “Watch out, guys! This woman‘s got a weapon!”

    Just then, Henry and Leo took out their own knives used for self–defense and threw them at the


    men as well. However, the fog was too thick, making them unable to aim urately, so they only


    managed to injure the legs of two of the six burly men.


    “Ouch! Ouch! It f*cking hurts! Bro, we can‘t let them off! How dare this b*tch wound us! I‘m gonna


    kill


    you!”


    With that, the burly men swung the long sticks in their hands at Vania and the others.


    There were only three people on Vania‘s side, after all. Since they were outnumbered, they had no


    choice but to take it when the men hit them with the sticks. Seizing the opportunity, the burly men


    immediately kicked the three of them right in the chest.


    Vania only felt her body going weak, and she had trouble keeping her bnce. On the other hand,


    Henry and Leo were still resisting.


    However, the three of them were outnumbered, after all. Before long, they were swiftly tied up by


    the burly men and thrown into the dpidated house,


    .


    It was pitch–dark in the house, but the cramped space was packed with these people. Vania
