Later that very day, Lucy and the rest made their way back to the village.
But it wasn't by foot as they did when they left. No, they returned with the two horses and four wagons the scavengers used.
Basically, they stole them from them.
The boss and the few of the scavengers that were alive had to use their two legs to head back to their territory.
Reaching the village, as expected, everyone was excited at the fact the hunt was successful.
Having six buffaloes was like a blessing, so much so, people began to worry if they were overusing it.
While Kiara was attending to them, Lucy made her way to Jared's room.
Kneeling in front of the door, she took a deep breath before saying anything.
She heard from one of the villagers that since Jared stepped into the room, he had not stepped out. Not even to eat or drink water.
"Good afternoon, Lord Jared... Are you alright in there?" Her voice was loud enough for anyone within range to hear.
