Chapter 53: It’s Time to Leave
The villagers kept their eyes fixed on the direction Benjamin and the others were leaving. When they saw them actually boarding the boat and leaving, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As he watched them leave, the Chief remained skeptical.

Martina felt her consciousness becoming increasingly blurry, but fortunately, just when she was about to give in, she heard voices calling from above the cellar. “Miss Martinez… Miss Martinez, are you okay?”
