Chapter 595 Uproar

"And how can you guarantee no one will notice? Someone noticed this time."

Federick was about to lecture him, but the man in the corner-Buck Teeser-dusted his clothes off and stood up. Federick knew this man. He was arrogant and short-tempered, and he was one of the biggest thugs around. He dropped out of school in fourth grade and went around doing petty crimes. Even so, none would stand up to him, all because he was a brute. He sneered. "This is all your fault, you know." "What do you mean?" Federick narrowed his eyes.

Buck cleared his throat and turned around. "People, think about it. Nothing of this sort has happened so far, but this time, they found out. Why do you think that happened?"

"Why? The villagers were stupid and ignorant. They were easily led to the wrong conclusion.

"Someone ratted us out, and it might just be this officer here." He turned around to point at Federick. "There's a reason he picked Yelena. He knows her. She's the spy he planted among us!"

A spy? The villagers realized what he was talking about. "So, you're saying he knows who Yelena is? It wasn't a coincidence she got taken here. He wants to take us all out."

"Yes. And if I'm right, he must have been the one who told the public Yelena is here." He turned around and looked at Federick coldly. "Want to explain how she got to this village and how the public found out?" Noticing the anger rising in the villagers, Federick quickly said, "This has nothing to do with me. I wasn't the one who spread the news."

"As if we would believe that. Prove that you're not the one who spread it."

He wants me to prove a negative? What is he, an idiot? Federick knew Buck didn't like him very much, but now he had no idea how to prove his innocence.

The villagers took his silence as an admission of guilt, and they screamed murder.

"Mr. Seanzy, we've shown you nothing but respect, and this is how you treat us?"

"Disappointing. You're the same as those women. You're an accomplice!"

"Tie him up! Punish him!"

"Punish him!"

Federick might be a calm person, but even he frowned at this scene. "You're trying to stage a rebellion?"

Buck burst into laughter. "A rebellion? No, we're just getting rid of outsiders."

The villagers had no idea what that meant. All they knew was that this man had been lying to them for a long time, and he must be punished. The people in the front row were ready to attack.

"Stop resisting, Mr. Seanzy. You can't run." Buck whistled and shot the house a leer. "I heard Yelena is a beauty. Why don't you give her to us? We can show her a good time."

The man beside him raised his hand. "I've seen her. She's as beautiful as a goddess. Very petite and fair."

None of them had ever slept with a woman that beautiful. Noticing the lust in the villagers' eyes, Federick knew things would go bad. Suddenly, someone opened the door and pulled him back into the house. It happened in a split second. Federick was gone before the villagers could do anything, and they shouted.

"Where did he go? Did he run away?"

"Someone pulled him back into the house. I bet Yelena's inside."

He wonts me to prove o negotive? Whot is he, on idiot? Federick knew Buck didn't like him very much, but now he hod no ideo how to prove his innocence.

The villogers took his silence os on odmission of guilt, ond they screomed murder.

"Mr. Seonzy, we've shown you nothing but respect, ond this is how you treot us?"

"Disoppointing. You're the some os those women. You're on occomplice!"

"Tie him up! Punish him!"

"Punish him!"

Federick might be o colm person, but even he frowned ot this scene. "You're trying to stoge o rebellion?"

Buck burst into loughter. "A rebellion? No, we're just getting rid of outsiders."

The villogers hod no ideo whot thot meont. All they knew wos thot this mon hod been lying to them for o long time, ond he must be punished. The people in the front row were reody to ottock.

"Stop resisting, Mr. Seonzy. You con't run." Buck whistled ond shot the house o leer. "I heord Yeleno is o beouty. Why don't you give her to us? We con show her o good time."

The mon beside him roised his hond. "I've seen her. She's os beoutiful os o goddess. Very petite ond foir."

None of them hod ever slept with o womon thot beoutiful. Noticing the lust in the villogers' eyes, Federick knew things would go bod. Suddenly, someone opened the door ond pulled him bock into the house. It hoppened in o split second. Federick wos gone before the villogers could do onything, ond they shouted.

"Where did he go? Did he run owoy?"

"Someone pulled him bock into the house. I bet Yeleno's inside."

Buck was now the leader of these people. He played around with the grass in his hand, imagining all the lewd things he would do to Yelena. Oh, I'll have a taste of her, I swear. "Calm down. He won't be escaping easily. We should figure out how to force him to come out."

Someone shouted, "It's a wooden house! I say we burn it down!"

That woman is still inside. Buck frowned. "That's going to constitute arson and murder. What if his boss starts investigating?"

Another villager said, "I say we smash this whole place down with some shovels."

Buck nodded and patted his shoulder. "Good idea. Get the tools. Make sure they're hard enough."

The villagers went back to gather their shovels and axes. The people here were united, and soon enough, they came back with weapons.

"Smash it down!" Buck ordered, and they started smashing the walls of the house.

Noticing what was happening outside, Elspeth and her team frowned.

"Are they mad? What are they doing? How stupid can someone get? This is criminal, don't they know that?" Yelena shouted as she panicked. She had never seen something like this before. Before this, she never thought there would be people this foolish, idiotic, and ignorant.

"They don't. Nobody has ever told them this is criminal." Federick sighed in resignation. It had been six months since he came, and this was his first time seeing a real case of human trafficking. At first, these people would be on guard against him, but eventually, they opened up. When Federick knew about the intricacies of this case, he felt powerless to stop it.
