"Who... who are you?"
It took a long moment for the village chief to find his voice.
Where were his men?
Where were the most capable young men in their village?
Staring at the strikingly handsome man before him, a man who terrified him to his very core, the village chief's heart sank until it hit rock bottom.
For the past few days, the village chief had an indescribable sense of foreboding. This feeling had manifested as irritability, but he'd assumed it was just because his son's wedding was finally approaching.
The strangers who appeared two days ago had put him on high alert, but thankfully, they left without finding anything.
Even though they were gone, his cautious nature had led him to order the village's young men to start vigilant patrols.
When Su Li and her group first entered, he sensed something was wrong and had gestured for his men to be on guard.
