The village chief's house is situated halfway up the mountain, with a garden, a mansion, and a garage. Its opulence is astonishing, forming a stark contrast with the mud houses built of yellow earth at the foot of the mountain.
Jared Raines brought them to the foot of the mountain and then slipped away.
Maeve sneered, "This village chief must be up to no good! Watch how I deal with this rural tyrant later!"
Simon Forrester looked grim, "That's all for later; first, we need to rescue Lawyer Thornton."
He stepped forward and kicked the garden's iron gate with a loud bang.
Soon, a young man came out wielding a wooden stick and asked fiercely, "Who are you looking for?"
"The village chief!"
Seeing that he and Maeve were dressed in luxury, unlike the villagers nearby, the man immediately gripped the stick tightly and shouted, "Who are you people? What do you want with the village chief?"
