Truly vicious, crude, and barbaric. Thelma even doubted whether she and they lived in the same world. She thought of Sharon’s two severed fingers and wondered if they had been cut off by these people.
The man approaching Thelma was holding a large cleaver, looking fierce, and said in poorly spoken Mandarin, “Who dares to stop me? I’ll chop him to death!”
As he walked, he swung a large machete without a hint of hesitation. The people who had lived in civilization for so long felt a bit scared in the face of such barbarism and rudeness. The few who stood in front of Thelma exchanged glances, none daring to step forward.
At that moment, someone approached with a large bamboo pole, walking forward while instructing, “Gary, you guys cover the girls and leave first. Frank, you all come help me!”
The speaker was Eric. As soon as he said this, it was as if the crowd had found their backbone. The one called Gary urged Thelma and the others to hurry and leave, while several other men picked up bamboo poles and stools to follow Eric.
However, before Thelma and the others could make their escape, a few village women stepped forward to block their path, led by the village chief’s wife. She commanded, “Tie these girls up, and each family can take one!”
At this moment, Thelma felt uncertain. Although she was thin, she was not weak. During high school and college, she often engaged in physical training and even learned martial arts in college. Even though she hadn’t practiced much in recent years, she still had some skills, so she could handle one village woman.
But the others clearly did not have such good physical abilities. Even with Gary, it would be difficult to deal with so many village women.
What should they do now? Were they really going to be tied up by these village women to become wives for those older unmarried men? Without the internet or signal, she had no way to call for help.
Two female celebrities seemed to be scared and started crying. Presley, who probably had never encountered such a situation, also looked pale with fear.
Thelma felt like she was about to cry too.
But she knew she had to stay calm at this moment.
What to do, what to do? She didn’t want to be tied up here as a daughter-in-law; she still had Sam Noah and Tyler.
Sam Noah, Sam Noah.
Her idol, the one she loved so much. If she were really defiled by these people, she might want to die.
Thinking of this, Thelma’s eyes turned red. After finally getting her idol, she hadn’t had enough time to kiss him or sleep with him!
At this moment, she really missed him, wanted to comfortably lie in his arms, wanted to be held by him. His embrace was warm and strong, so comfortable.
The more she thought about it, the more her nose felt sour.
“What is going on here? Am I not the right person to come at this time?”
A slow yet powerful voice suddenly rang out.
Thelma’s body stiffened for a moment. Could it be that she missed him too much? She actually heard Sam Noah’s voice.
She hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice and saw several people standing on the road leading into the village, with Sam Noah at the forefront.
Today, he was dressed casually in a loose gray round-neck sweater, black casual pants, and casual shoes. It wasn’t the business style of a suit and leather shoes, but when he stood there, he still exuded an imposing aura that was hard to provoke, completely out of place with the desolate and dilapidated village surroundings.
Having climbed up the mountain, a layer of sweat had formed on his forehead, but he showed no signs of embarrassment.
Behind him were a few others, also dressed casually, but because these individuals were so tall and strong, they gave off a sense of dangerous pressure just by standing there.
Thelma hadn’t expected Sam Noah to appear here; she even doubted her own eyes.
The village chief saw Sam Noah and, noticing the strong men behind him, immediately became alert and asked, “Who are you, and what are you doing here?”
Sam Noah pointed at Thelma and said slowly, “I am her husband. I’m here to take her home.”
Eric was originally engaged in a brawl with several strong men from the village when Sam Noah suddenly appeared. The fighting stopped, and everyone had sustained some injuries to varying degrees.
The village chief’s second son, the man who had just pointed at Thelma, was furious upon hearing Sam Noah’s words. “She is mine!” he shouted.
As he spoke, he swung his machete towards Sam Noah. However, he didn’t even come close to hitting Sam Noah. Just a few steps away, someone stepped forward, twisted his hand, and with a crack, the machete fell to the ground. The man let out a heart-wrenching scream and was soon thrown to the ground, rolling in pain while clutching his arm.
