The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183 Cannibals

It was late afternoon when Eugene finally shared some promising news.

The entire group immediately snapped out of their fatigue, excitement lighting up their eyes.

“We’re finally closing in on the savages! Get your cameras ready–and don’t miss a single clear shot!”

“Relax, we’ve dreamed about this exact moment forever!”

After all the anticipation, Tessa, Luke, and the others couldn’t hide their enthusiasm.

“When exactly was your last trip here, Mr. Wallace?” Maren suddenly spoke up as she caught sight of something odd ahead.

Pausing to think, Eugene answered, “About two months back.

“Was that watchtower even there before?” Maren pointed at the rough wooden tower up ahead. There looked to be a shadowy figure standing on top of it. It was too far to see clearly.

“Odd… I don’t recall seeing anything like that last time,” Eugene murmured, frowning deeply as he studied the unfamiliar structure.

“We need to get out of here,” Sawyer suddenly said.

“What? Leave already? But we just got here!”

No one except Maren grasped the seriousness in Sawyer’s tone.

“It’s too late. We won’t be able to leave now.”

Maren’s calm but ominous words deepened the confusion among the others.

Dozens of figures burst out from the dense foliage before anyone even knew they were in danger.

They had dark skin, wore skirts made of leaves, and carried spears and bows in their hands.

The savages?

The moment they appeared, everyone instantly thought the same thing.

“We actually found them. Look!” Neil shouted, pointing at the group. But before he could finish, an arrow tore straight through him.

A thick spray of blood hit both Ethan and Carlo, who stood frozen beside the

“Ah!”

Shrill cries tore from Neil’s group, their panic setting off a wave of chaos.

body.

With weapons lifted and aimed squarely at them, the savages showed no hesitation.

“Shut up before you get us all killed!” Maren’s warning came just in time to prevent a massacre.

Tears streamed down several faces as Luke, Tessa, and the others bit their tongues. Some began trembling, but no one dared to utter another sound.

Only after their captives quieted did the savages lower their weapons.

A heated conversation erupted among the savages in a strange dialect.

Their intense discussion never paused for breath.

Ethan could barely stay on his feet as he whispered, “What are they even saying?”

Luke, Eugene and the rest of the group didn’t understand a word.

“They’re discussing how they’ll eat us,” Maren answered flatly, her voice disturbingly calm.

“What? Eat us?” Shock nearly made them scream again, but a fierce glare from Maren silenced them instantly.

“This reminds me of something. I read a story, years ago, in a forgotten journal. It talked about cannibals hidden deep in the Kalman Jungle.”

Eugene’s memory suddenly flashed back vividly.

He’d read that horrifying account over twenty years ago, never believing it could actually be true.

Real cannibals?

“Cannibals? No way. That stuff only happens in horror flicks, not real life.”

Luke and his friends trembled in disbelief.

What started as a thrill–seeking mission had turned into a nightmare none of them signed up for.

Regret spread like wildfire, but it wouldn’t save them now.

But it was too late–the cannibals would offer no second chances.

A man in his thirties stepped out from the crowd. He moved slowly, weaving through the group as he looked each person over, one at a time.

Luke and the rest held their breath, hearts racing in dread.

Tessa flinched as the man halted in front of her. He leaned in, sniffing her like she was meat at a market. A sick smile crept across his face as he muttered something under his breath.

“Maren, what did he just say?” Tessa’s stomach twisted with dread.

“He said…” Maren faltered, her voice breaking off. She had caught some of it, but the meaning was too awful to

voice aloud.

Sawyer chimed in, “He says you’re appealing. He’s going to bring you back, and you’ll become the shared mate

of all fourteen men there.”

Apparently, he knew their language too.

“No! Stay away!” Tessa lost her footing, scrambling desperately backward. But escape was impossible–the
