: Vanished?
Martina could easily figure out what was going on without even having to think about it. So, Benjamin
must have arrived, and so quickly.
Without hesitation, Martina followed Candy and ran towards the direction of the cellar.
They had a communal cellar in their place, where they stored things like potatoes. The space was quite
large and, most importantly, inconspicuous.
Unless someone from their village knew about it, others would never expect that there was a hiding
place in there.
Following Candy’s instructions, Martina descended into the cellar using the rope ladder.
It was pitch black inside, but luckily, she had her phone with her for illumination.
She was currently wearing a set of clothes borrowed from Candy’s mother.
Although it was old, it was very clean.
Despite the fact that this outfit didn’t seem suitable for Martina’s age, it was precisely because of her
exceptional looks and figure that she managed to exude her own unique style.
Martina placed a towel on the floor and sat down cross-legged.
She pressed one hand against her chest and tightly held onto her phone, feeling its slight warmth.
Through the cracks above the cellar, she could only catch a glimpse of the faint light outside.
Benjamin was here as she guessed.
Even though Martina had been prepared for this, her heart was still pounding.
He… shouldn’t be able to find her, right?
At this moment, Benjamin ultimately caught a glimpse of something suspicious in that villager’s face.
Especially when Martina’s name was mentioned, his gaze would tremble slightly. No matter how
convincing the disguise may be, there will still be flaws left behind.
Who was Benjamin? He had always been the one in control, where no conspiracy or trickery could
succeed in front of him.
Moreover, this person trying to lie in front of him was even more impossible.
However, Benjamin didn’t reveal anything. Instead, he continued to act in his own way and approached
the person in front of him. His attitude seemed courteous, but it carried an endless edge.
“May I bring some people to search?” he asked.
Startled by the sudden voice of Benjamin, the person became flustered and bega stutter out of
nervousness. “Oh, you want to search? There’s no need for that. We h seen this person, and our
village is so small.
“We all know each other here, so it wouldn’t be easy to hide someone, especially a stranger. If she
really came, the whole village would know right away!”
Unfazed by whatever the person said, Benjamin maintained his indifference and casually waved his
hand toward the person behind him. With a cold tone, he uttered a single word, “Search.”
Leslie immediately led the group of people behind him and quickly divided them into several teams.
“You guys, go to the east and search!”
“You guys go to the west, and as for you, go to the other two sides! Remember to conduct a thorough
search, don’t miss any details.”
Everyone nodded one after another and hurried towards the village with disciplined steps. Even if
someone wanted to stop them, it was too late.
The villager could only silently pray in his heart, hoping that his buddy had already informed Miss
Martinez, urging her to hide quickly.
Otherwise, it would be bad if they were discovered. Miss Martinez has sacrificed so much for the
children, working tirelessly day and night to teach.
And back then, the progress of these children was excellent. They started with not understanding a
single question, but they made tremendous strides. All of this was thanks ‘to Martina.
They were all very grateful to Martina and were consciously eager to help her, always remembering the
things she had asked of them before.
Moreover, in their eyes, they found Martina to be a very likable and kind person. They believed that the
people who had come looking for Martina definitely had malicious intentions!
Furthermore, with Benjamin suddenly bringing so many people and giving off an intimidating vibe right
from the start, it seemed quite obvious to them what they should do, didn’t it?
They split up, with Benjamin and Simon heading in the same direction, going from house to house in
search.
Many people were surprised to see so many strangers suddenly arriving and looked at them with
curiosity and confusion.
“Who are these people? Why do they look so menacing coming to our village?” Some people stood at
their doorsteps, both men and women, but kept their distance out of fear. “Who knows? I think these
people have some ill intentions.”
Being the assistant who had been by Benjamin’s side for a long time, Simon’s this were cunning
compared to others. “Hey there, little one. Have you seen the person I photo?”
The child being asked was one of the children that Martina had taught before.
When he saw Martina’s face in the photo, he instinctively wanted to let out a sweet smile. However, he
remembered the words his mother had specifically reminded him of and abruptly stopped the smile on
his face, shaking his head.
But children can’t hide their true emotions too well. A hint of panic still showed on his face. “I don’t
recognize her. I don’t know her.”
However, the child’s eyes clearly told everyone that he did recognize her.
Benjamin furrowed his brow, deep in thought. Even a fool could see it, let alone. Benjamin himself.
He had been searching for Martina for a long time, and he wouldn’t let these things slip away like this.
But now he had no way of getting to the bottom of the situation. It seemed like the people in this village
had agreed on something.
Could it be possible that every single person unanimously claimed to have never seen Martina?
Benjamin rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He had indeed led all the people behind him to search the
surrounding area thoroughly. They had conducted a thorough search, but still couldn’t find the person
he wanted to see.
That woman seemed to have vanished into the air. Whether they admitted it or not, that was the reality.
Although the anxiety was clearly shown on the faces of these people, Martina’s presence couldn’t be
found here. What could be the reason for this?
Could it be that Martina had indeed been here before but had already left?
If that were the case, these people would not have had any reason to conceal the truth. They could
have openly disclosed it since it would not have affected them in any way. Therefore, the truth
remained that they were still pretending, and Martina had never actually left.
Perhaps there was some kind of agreement among them for unknown reasons, leading to these
circumstances. Even Benjamin himself couldn’t figure out why.
Now even Benjamin had to see Martina in a new light. Martina used to ask for his opinion and let him
make decisions about everything she did. This was the first time she had shown such strong
determination and independence.
