The clan chief never claimed to be a good person, and Sun Chengwu never thought he was a good person either.

The clan leader is someone who would stop at nothing and abandon all principles to achieve a certain goal.

Sun Chengwu's vigilance towards him never lessened for a moment.

The clan chief looked at Sun Chengwu and asked, "You provided all the ransom. If you have no interest in these women, then let them stay in the village."

I prefer young men to women.

A large population isn't always a good thing; if there aren't enough able-bodied men, the more women there are, the more food will become scarcer.

Sun Chengwu looked at these women, his conscience and reason fighting each other.

Ultimately, reason prevailed. "Chief, let them stay in the village."

They've brought out so much food, and their own survival is in danger. If they take these women back with them, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

The women's faces turned even uglier after hearing this.

Some of them were white-collar workers, some were human elites, and some were live streamers.

Because of their gender and beauty, they are successful in life, and no one can bear to refuse them.

Even if they do, a little coquetry or cuteness will soften their hearts.

But why is everyone here so heartless?

These indigenous people want to treat them as breeding machines, but this seemingly kind-looking young man looks down on them.

This greatly hurt their self-esteem.

At that moment, a woman shouted, "Sisters, who says we have to rely on men to survive? We can survive on our own!"

The clan chief merely glanced at her coldly and walked away.

The woman was in her thirties and appeared to be in a high-level management position; she was dressed in designer brands.

Unfortunately, here, brand names don't command a premium; instead, they make her a target for criticism and stigmatization.

The chieftain said, "You are our goods. You want to leave? Did I agree to that?"

The elite woman said coldly, "We have human rights!"

The chieftain scoffed, "Human rights? You're talking to me about human rights here?"

He suddenly changed his expression and shouted, "Take it off!"

The woman was stunned and asked, "What?"

The chieftain said coldly, "Take off your clothes, or I'll have someone help you!"

The woman glared at the clan chief. "Why should I listen to you?"

The chieftain looked at the hickey on her neck and chuckled coldly, "On the ship, you should have had someone protecting you, right?"

You gave him your body and stayed with him for so long, only to be abandoned in the end. You're very unwilling to accept it, right?

"Don't you know what your sisters went through on the ship?"

Apart from this woman, most of the other women dared not speak, kept their heads down, and had obvious bruises and injuries on their bodies.

The woman trembled with anger, "You're talking nonsense!"

Snapped!

Without any warning, the clan leader suddenly slapped her across the face.

The woman screamed and collapsed onto the snow.

The chieftain shook his hand and said to Ollie, "Pull her naked."

Ollie hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and began to undress the woman.

The woman kept crying and screaming, but Ollie remained expressionless.

She witnessed the evil of humanity while on the ship.

He finally understood that the clan chief had never let him board the ship so that he could see the outside world, but rather so that he would understand that in this world, fools would only become commodities, and even being a human being was a luxury.

The woman struggled, cried, and cursed, but Ollie showed no mercy.

Until the woman lay naked in the snow, her teeth chattering from the cold, curled up in a ball.

Nobody cared whether she was naked or not.

At that moment, she resembled a stripped pig, awaiting slaughter.

The cold air left red marks on her body. Before long, she couldn't bear the cold any longer. She knelt down and clung to the chieftain's legs, her teeth chattering, and begged in a trembling voice, "I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, please forgive me..."

What does dignity mean?

The most important thing is to stay alive.

The chieftain glanced at Ollie and said, "Give the clothes back to her, and she'll be in your hands now. Your father is gone, and all the housework is on your mother's shoulders. She's very tired."

Let this woman be a maid.

If you don't listen, you can handle it yourself.

Don't be too kind; this kind of woman likes to take advantage of other people's kindness to seek her own benefit.

You might think she's obeying you, but she'll be scheming behind your back, waiting for an opportunity to bite you back.

The patriarch taught Ollie a lesson.

Whether Ollie will listen to this is another matter.

He was still a child who had just come of age. He had witnessed the evil of human nature on the ship, which constantly clashed with his past understanding.

Sun Chengwu watched from the side without saying anything.

This is their family matter.

The patriarch clearly intended to use today's lesson to tell Ollie that human nature is inherently evil.

Sun Chengwu has experienced so much, he has seen both evil people and good people.

He disagreed with the clan chief's viewpoint, but he understood one thing: good people don't live long, and bad people bully good people, which makes life enjoyable.

So all along, he has only adhered to a certain bottom line, trying his best to be the villain.

The matter was temporarily settled. After throwing the clothes to the woman, Ollie went up to Sun Chengwu and greeted him warmly, "Brother Wu."

He did not develop any rift with Sun Chengwu because of what happened on the ship.

Especially after learning that Sun Chengwu had voluntarily paid the ransom, she developed a strong liking for him.

A man is a man if he takes responsibility.

Back in the village, the clan chief distributed the women to families without men and families with men of marriageable age.

After everything was arranged, the clan chief summoned Sun Chengwu to his home.

The clan chief cut to the chase, asking, "After all this time, what's your decision?"

Sun Chengwu hesitated, then shook his head. "I can't agree to your request right away. I don't know you, and I don't know the power behind you."

I don't think you're asking me to go and die, but the risks are definitely not small.

I want to go back, and I want to take the people around me back with me, but I'm not that noble; I can't sacrifice myself for others.

The clan chief seemed to have expected this. "Alright, if you won't go, then we'll have to send Ollie instead."

Sun Chengwu thought of Ollie's mother and three younger siblings. His pupils contracted, but he didn't say much. He only promised, "If Ollie doesn't come back, I will take care of his family's expenses."

The clan chief smiled and said, "You don't need to take responsibility. I will arrange it."

"Things are all sorted out. Are you ready to go back?"

Sun Chengwu nodded, "It'll be ready in the next couple of days."

The clan chief suggested, "There are still six women left, and our village simply can't accommodate them all. You should take them back with you."

Sun Chengwu wanted to refuse, but the clan chief interrupted him, saying, "You don't need to refuse in a hurry. There are many men in your camp. In this kind of environment, men have a higher chance of survival."

They probably want women too, right?
