Chapter 173
Eban’s men had all been shot, leaving him like a toothless tiger. han knew very well that with just a few dozen Cannibals, there was no way he could fight against the people in front of him. Enduring the pain in his lower body, he said. “You must be explorers who stumbled here by accident. If you let me go now, I’ll have the Cannibals escort you out of the rainforest. How does that sound” Eban had nothing to rely on except to use the Cannibals as leverage.
Emmett and the others snorted coldly. ‘Eban is still dreaming that he can get away with it, they thought. Just then, the elderly cannibal who had seemed agitated to see Yvette carlier grabbed a spear and rushed at her without saying a word. But before he could get close, a gunshot rang out, and the bullet shattered his leg, sending him crashing to the ground. Seeing this, the other cannibals grabbed their weapons and rushed forward as well.
Jeremiah’s face grew colder. He gestured to Emmett and the others, who, without hesitation, pulled out their guns and shot the charging cannibals. Within minutes, all the adult cannibals lay dead on the ground, leaving only a few women and children huddling off to the side.
Eban trembled with fear as he looked at the bodies of the cannibals around him.
Under Eban’s terrified gaze, Yvette walked over slowly, Standing in front of him, she looked down at him with a slight, mischievous smirk. Her cold eyes glanced at Eban with a hint of disdain.
Jeremiah walked up to Yvette’s side, his eyes icy and intimidating. “So, how did you get the cannibals to produce drugs for you?”
Eban’s last shred of hope vanished completely. As expected, this group had come specifically for him. Realizing there was no way he’d escape today, he decided to take the secret to his grave Eban stiffened his neck, suddenly showing a hint of defiance. “You think I’ll tell you anything? You won’t get a word from me!”
Jeremiah gave him such an intense look that it sent chills down his spine. The man is terrifying!’ Eban thought.
Jeremiah slowly pulled a handgun from his coat, taking his time as he leisurely loaded the weapon. Something that would normally take less than thirty seconds took him a full five minutes. During those five minutes, Eban’s mind was tormented. Though he had claimed not to fear death, in his heart, he was terrified. Every deliberate movement Jeremiah made was pure agony for him.
Jeremiah pressed the gun against Eban’s forehead, a faint smile playing on his lips, but his eyes were ominous.
Emmett, Bruce, Frankie, Chris, and Jacob had finished clearing the battlefield and walked over. Frankie felt disgusted at the thought that Eban had eaten “human flesh” just like the cannibals. This monster, who not only trafficked drugs but also indulged in cannibalism, deserved a fate worse than death. “Mr. Chavez, are we just going to kill him like this? That’s way too easy on him. I think we should tear him apart and throw him into the rainforest to feed the wild beasts”
Jeremiah lowered his gaze, deep in thought, as if seriously considering Frankie’s suggestion.
Yvette walked up, crouching in front of Eban. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she smirked. In a soft voice, she asked, “Are you really not going to talk?”
Eban’s face froze, and a terrifying feeling crept over him-this girl might be even more ruthless than the men. Despite his growing fear, he tried to maintain his composure, though his voice trembled. “I won’t talk! You’d better just kill me quickly.”
Yvette responded with an indifferent “Alright,” before casually pulling a dagger from her boot. Without even looking, she thrust it backward straight into Eban’s thigh artery. In the next second, blood gushed from Eban’s leg in a stream.
Before Eban could even scream in pain, Yvette twisted the dagger, plunging it into his kneecap. The sound of bones cracking echoed in the air as his knee shattered. Eban stared at Yvette, his face drained of color. ‘Demon… she’s an absolute demont he thought.
Yvette slowly pulled the dagger out, her eyes lowered, exuding a dark, suffocating aura. She pressed her lips together, her voice light and emotionless. “Well, still don’t want to talk?”

Unable to bear the paltrany longer, Eban frantically nodded. Terrified of another cut from Yvette, he quickly spilled everything about how they had used the cannibals to produce drugs.
“Our gang came here looking for raw materials for new drugs. The jungle was too dangerous, and we lost several groups of men. The last group, by sheer luck, encountered the cannibals. They were about to be eaten, but the flashlights they carried were seen by the cannibals as some kind of divine sign, and they were spared. The cannibals even helped them out of the jungle. My brother and I realized the opportunity, and we used modern tricks to stage more ‘miracles for the cannibals They believed everything. In return, we provided them with human sacrifices and taught them how to produce drugs for us. It’s been over a year, and we’ve hidden it well… until now, Eban said.
Emmelt chuckled bitterly, gritting his teeth. They had spent a week searching without finding any clues, never imagining that Tiger Head would use the cannibals to produce drugs. If Jeremiah hadn’t noticed something was off, they’d still be focusing all their efforts on Mysonna
After Eban finished speaking, afraid that Yvette wouldn’t believe him, he repeated, “I’m not lying to you, that’s the whole truth. The drug lab is on a clearing not far from here. If you don’t believe me, you can go check it out. Eban was truly terrified at this point, confessing everything without any further resistance. He knew he was doomed, and his only wish was to suffer less.
Yvette stood up and turned her head, asking, “Do you have anything else to ask?”
The ten men that Jeremiah had brought with him had been left speechless by Yvette’s actions. When they heard her question, they all shook their heads in perfect unison.
Jeremiah stepped forward and gently took Yvette’s cold hand, wiping off the blood with a rough piece of paper from his pocket. “Let’s go,” he said. “Emmett can take care of the rest.”
Yvette nodded obediently, her eyes downcast.
Jeremiah turned and gave Emmett a silent signal before leading Yvette to a secluded corner. His gaze was focused, serious, and tinged with a hint of tenderness as he carefully and gently wiped the blood from her hands.
Emmett stepped forward and swiftly ended Eban’s life with a single gunshot. Then, he and Bruce found the drug lab Eban had mentioned and burned it to the ground.
After Jacob and the others cleaned up the bodies, they found themselves at a loss when faced with the remaining cannibal women and children. As they hesitated, Yvette approached, her voice calm and indifferent. “Don’t worry about them,” she said. “In this rainforest, their survival skills are better than yours.
Jacob nodded respectfully, then, full of admiration, bowed deeply to Yvette. “Ms. Zeller, you are right. There are really cannibals. Now, you can beat me and scold me. It’s all up to you!
