Sheldon got more and more animated, words spilling out rapidly. He said, "With all this talk, I still don't know your name. A meeting must be fate..."

Before he could finish, Yvette interrupted him. "Yvette Zeller, remember that name," she said.

Sheldon nodded very seriously. He wondered what was so special about the name Yvette. He usually forgot about a woman after being with her, but Yvette's looks and presence were hard to forget, even for a playboy like him. Yvette stepped back. She bent her knee slightly and said casually "Do you have money?"

Sheldon was taken aback. He didn't expect Yvette to be so straightforward. He thought she was like a high and unattainable flower, but she turned out to be so ordinary and blunt, asking immediately if he had money.

He thought, 'Indeed, women all have the same demeanor in the end, just interested in money.' Sheldon considered Yvette a gold digger, and he became more relaxed.

He thought that a woman who talked about money so easily, what could be truly valuable about her?

Sheldon casually said, "Ms. Zeller, while I'm not super wealthy, I have enough money. If you need anything, you can come with me back to my village, and I'll write you a check."

Sheldon didn't want to lose Yvette. Worried that Yvette might doubt his intentions, he quickly added, "Ms. Zeller, please don't misunderstand. As for the check, I left in a hurry today and didn't bring it."

The manager immediately understood and said, "Ms. Zeller, rest assured. Mr. Jacobs is a trustworthy person."

Yvette slightly raised her eyes, giving a quick glance at Sheldon and the manager. Her delicate face was cold and distant. She spoke slowly, "Lead the way; I'll go with you."

Sheldon was at a loss for words. He thought, 'Her demeanor is something else. Who is lending money to whom here? Someone might think I am the one asking for a loan. She is the first person I met who could borrow money boldly.' Sheldon, holding back his dissatisfaction, nodded with a show of gentility. He said, "I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm the son of Dungo Village's head. Have you heard of Dungo Village?"

Sheldon remained cautious, mainly because their village was planning something major soon, and outsiders might not be welcome. But he couldn't just let such a beautiful woman pass by so easily.

He thought, 'A woman? What trouble could she possibly cause?' He didn't believe a woman, especially one who loved money, could stir up much trouble.

Yvette paused for a moment, then shook her head. She said, "I have no idea."

Seeing Yvette's sincere look, which didn't look like lying, Sheldon let his guard down. He said, "Then Ms. Zeller, please go this way. My car is parked not far from here."

Seeing Sheldon and Yvette leave, the manager smiled with envy. He thought, 'Sheldon is not handsome, but when it comes to romantic encounters, he's got all the luck. Each woman around him is more beautiful than the last.'

In the car, Sheldon kept talking to Yvette, but Yvette rested her hand on her head and closed her eyes in the back seat, not responding. Sheldon noticed her silence and stopped talking.

He was fuming inside, thinking, 'Is she mute? Can't she hear anything I am saying?' But despite his anger, when he saw Yvette's exquisite face, a wave of heat rushed through him again Meanwhile, when Jeremiah received the text message, his eyes instantly turned sharp. He said to others, "No need to wait

until tomorrow; we're treading to Dungo Village tonight."

Hearing this, Samantha, Andrew, and Charles looked at Jeremiah Charles was the first to react, his gaze darkening. He asked, "Mr. Chavez, did Yvette go to Dungo Village and run into trouble?" Samantha and Andrew's expressions changed when they heard this. They spoke in unison, "Yvette went to Dungo Village already?"

Jeremiah stood up and nodded. He said, "Yes, she ran into someone from Dungo Village and is on her way there. Pack up. We'll leave in half an hour."

The three nodded, their faces serious. Everyone knew that this trip to Dungo Village wouldn't be easy, and getting Bonnie out wouldn't be straightforward. So, they had to make the necessary preparations. Jeremiah finished speaking, turned, and walked out while taking out his phone. He said, "I need the stuff you prepared right

now..."

The man on the other end of the line didn't hesitate. He replied, "Understood, Mr. Chavez. Everything is ready for you."

The three people left in the living room exchanged looks. Then, they spread out, each going to take care of their own things.

Half an hour later, Jeremiah, Charles, Andrew, and Samantha had all finished packing.

Andrew looked at his clothes with curiosity; Jeremiah said they were made of a special material that could prevent bugs from burrowing into the skin. It was incredible.

It was Andrew's first time seeing such clothes, he felt it was like something out of a fantasy novel.

Samantha was much more composed about it; she knew Jeremiah wouldn't head to Dungo Village without some preparation.

Charles watched Jeremiah thoughtfully. To his knowledge, this nano high-tech combat attire first appeared with the world's largest mercenary group, Wolfpack. It had never been shared outside, so he wondered how Jeremiah got this. Andrew glanced around and asked, "Jeremiah, isn't Emmett coming with us?"

Jeremiah said, "No, he has other things to handle. He'll join us once he's finished."

Dressed entirely in black, Jeremiah had a cold and ruthless demeanor. He looked at the three and said deeply, "Make sure you protect yourselves. Poisonous insects can sneak in anywhere, so never let your guard down." The three nodded and said, "Don't worry, we'll be careful."

In Dungo Village, Sheldon led Yvette down a small path. The road was smooth, without the rumored cliffs and steep areas. They entered through a patch of woods and reached the village entrance in about half an hour. Sheldon had a reluctant and angry look on his face. He thought, Yvette is quite a peculiar character. Even though the path was smooth, it felt eerie and was hard to traverse. Even for Sheldon, a native of Dungo Village, it was challenging. But Yvette walked incredibly fast, covering that half-hour distance without sweat. Sheldon had planned to act in the woods but found the reason not to do so too embarrassing to even think about.

All along the way, Sheldon couldn't catch up with Yvette. No matter how fast he moved, Yvette seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, always maintaining a calculated distance that seemed intentional, making him suspicious. When Yvette saw the stone slab engraved with Dungo Village, she came to a halt. Sheldon, out of breath, caught up from behind and cautiously asked, "Ms. Zeller, why didn't you wait for me? Are you trained in boxing?" With her hands in her pockets, Yvette looked at Sheldon. She shook her head, raised an eyebrow, and, with eyes devoid of

warmth, remarked coolly, "You're too slow."

Sheldon choked, thinking, 'At a time like this, whatever. I have to take her back to the village first before dealing with her. He said, "Ms. Zeller, excuse me, I've not been feeling well lately."

Yvette's indifferent attitude made Sheldon feel even more uneasy. He escorted Yvette into the village, barely encountering any villagers. Those they did see were elderly, with withered faces and calm eyes. Yvette's face initially showed caution, but when she saw Sheldon her expression turned into a friendly smile. Since entering the village, Yvette hadn't spotted any young people.

She found it odd. How could there be no young people in an entire village?

Yvette glanced casually and noticed there was a piece of red cloth hanging at the entrance of every house. She asked casually, "Red cloth? Is there a celebration happening in your village?"

Sheldon felt more confident when he entered the village. Hearing Yvette's question, he replied with an air of mystery, "Ms. Zeller, in just three days, we'll have a huge celebration here in Dungo Village."
