Chapter 802 - 515: On the Road [05] Nora Scott, You Human Trafficker [Second Update]

Nora Scott parked her bicycle at the village entrance.

Outside the village entrance, there was an archway with a plaque bearing three characters - Dubois Village.

Judging by the winding journey here, one could guess this was an undeveloped village; however, the scenery was unexpectedly pleasant. The houses were scattered, the land wasn’t barren but cultivated with greenery and fruit trees. The road was lined with rare greenery instead of the usual yellow earth.

The village recently paved the roads; small paths that would turn muddy in the rain were now cemented, making it easy for vehicles to drive smoothly.

A few children were playing on skateboards at the village entrance. A boy of about six or seven was gliding particularly skillfully, with several little kids happily following behind him. Even trailing at the back, they were jubilant.

The young boy only collided with Nora and Clement Winter as he skated closer. When he saw Clement Winter, there was a moment of confusion, but upon seeing Nora, his eyes filled with delight. Standing on the skateboard, he stretched out his arms and rushed towards Nora.

"Nora!"

Joy and surprise were written all over his brows and eyes.

Nora extended her arm, directly pushed his head back, and kept him at arm’s distance, preventing him from getting any closer.

His pitch-black eyes rolled around mischievously, and he grinned at Nora. She took the opportunity to pat his head.

She said, "You’ve grown taller."

"Yes."

The young lad nodded vigorously like a garlic crusher.

Clement Winter: ???

Show crew: ???

Heavenly Immortal, have you come for a free meal, or are you visiting relatives?

"Nora..."

"I have a friend living here; I stayed here for a while before." Before Clement Winter could finish asking, Nora explained and then looked down to ask the young lad, "Is your dad home? I brought a friend to scrounge for a meal."

"Yes, yes."

The young lad replied while grinning from cheek to cheek.

Soon, the young boy bid farewell to his friends, skateboarded ahead to lead the way, with Nora and Clement Winter following behind him. As for the whole show crew, they were bewildered, questioning reality.

——This is supposed to be a travel show! Big shot, you’ve turned it into a family visitation show!

"I suspect Nora has a hidden agenda."

"She got free tea at the teahouse, claiming to be an acquaintance. Now a free meal here, also as an acquaintance. Why is it so hard for me to believe?"

"My back is cold. This sister isn’t just an ordinary celebrity..."

The following director shouted: "Don’t let your imagination run wild! You know her other identity, right? She’s a mangaka! Do you remember the big scene she caused on New Year’s Day this year? They say her connections span far and wide!"

Someone timidly reminded: "Bro, don’t you think this makes her even scarier...? How can a normal person have such connections?"

"I suspect she’s involved with the mob."

"The super impressive kind."

"What if she leads us into the mountains and sells us?"

...

The following director: "..." Damn, he also felt a bit eerie.

*

Thanks to their imaginations at the village entrance, the young staff members were inexplicably paranoid, timid, and nervous as they walked into the village. The gazes from the villagers seemed eerie and cold to them, as if eyeing labeled prey.

The staff felt like crying inside.

The following director wished he were dead.

The show crew was not large to begin with, and they split into two groups for filming. There were two cars following Nora and Clement Winter, but due to Nora’s choice of difficult paths, they decided to send just one car, packed with five people.

Two cameramen, one following director, and two assistants.

Out of the five, excluding the almost-thirty following director, the average age of the remaining four was just twenty-three or twenty-four. Young as they were, once they got scared, they were collectively scared; their courage was all but shattered.

To make matters worse, under the young boy’s guidance, they got further and further off track until they reached a detached two-story building away from the village —

"Dad! Dubois! Your sister’s here!"

As soon as they reached the entrance, the young boy shouted loudly.

Within ten seconds, a burly, tattooed middle-aged man wearing a vest and bare-chested arms walked out with a butcher knife in hand, frowning and shouting angrily, "What’s all this noise?!"

He looked fierce, with a murderous aura in his frown, and the butcher knife he held glinted coldly in the afternoon sun.

The air was chilling.

Immediately, the five, including the following director, all gasped, their hearts leaping into their throats.

The five: Mother of God, this isn’t trafficking but direct slaughter, no two lives spared!

"Nora?" The man’s gaze softened upon seeing Nora, and his murderous aura dissipated. He spoke with surprise, "Why have you come—"
