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.

A villager’s voice hushed, as if afraid that someone might be eavesdropping, “Chief, what do you think we should do next? Will these people come back and cause trouble?”

“Miss Martinez has done so many things for us. We can’t simply sit and watch her get into trouble. We can’t just be idle and useless, okay?”
