My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 578

Elise's remarks reminded Chuck about this problem. He used to watch movies like that, but it was impossible for that to happen in the modern era.

It had to be, right?

However, he should be cautious. Thankfully, Chuck had already made some simple weapons in these three days. He had sharpened a broken bone into a sharp knife and hid it.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Did you hear me? Look at them, they look so primitive." Elise was slightly nervous.

Her flesh was soft and tender. If she were to encounter any violent and unfriendly indigenous tribe, she would definitely be dead.

"Can you just shut up!" Chuck snapped.

Concurrently, the indigenous people were heading to Chuck on the boat. Their clothes were primitivelooking but they weren't hostile, right?

"You have to protect me. If anything happens to me, I swear, your whole family will die," Elise held onto Chuck's arm tightly.

This was terrifying.

"Stay away from me!" Chuck kicked her.

Tears welled up in Elise's eyes but she held onto Chuck stubbornly, sobbing, "I don't want to die. I'm only eighteen. I don't want to die..." "F*cking hell! You're so annoying,1' Chuck cursed in frustration.

Wasn't she very brave previously? Yet, did she turn into a spineless jerk just because of this?

Soon, the indigenous people had reached Chuck by boat. He noticed that they had sent two of their people over, with something painted on their faces.

"Look at their eyes. They're staring at me," Elise was horrified. Back in the base, Chuck had already ripped her shirt apart. Along the way, countless branches had further torn and clawed at her shorts. She never encountered something like this in her entire life before.

"Protect me. If I die, they will also kill you too. Please protect me."

Chuck paused for a moment and realized that she was right. If the indigenous people decided to harm her, he would suffer too.

They were used to living in the forest and had bountiful experience surviving in the wild fighting wild animals. Chuck could not underestimate them.

He took off his shirt and handed it to her, ordering, "Put it on."

Elise immediately wore his shirt and felt a little safer.

However, she continued to hold onto him for dear life.

The indigenous people babbled in a language that Chuck did not understand. He could barely understand the United States accent, so how could he possibly understand a completely different language?

"What are they saying?" Chuck asked.

"I'm scared. I don't know," Elise was clueless and kept repeating, "You must protect me. You..."

"Shut up!" Chuck shouted at her in annoyance.

It was only then that Elise bit her lip and kept her mouth shut.

"Let go of me!" He proceeded to shove her away.

"No, I won't," However, Elise stuck to Chuck closely.

Meanwhile, the two indigenous men gestured furiously. Chuck finally understood that they were going to take him somewhere else.

Naturally, he agreed.

"Let's go," Chuck stepped forward, only to have Elise drag him away, refusing to leave.

"I'm scared. Look at them. They look like they're up to no good. I don't mind if you torture me, but I don't want to be die here," Elise sobbed. For the past few days, she had suffered too much hardship. As a child, she was doted and had never lived in such a harsh environment.

She was physically and mentally stressed. In addition, Chuck kept hitting and scolding her. She was at the verge of breaking down.

Moreover, she was scared out of her wits.

Chuck scowled and scrutinized the two indigenous men. At times like that, he knew that a boat was hard to come by. Chuck knew that if he went along the river, he would definitely be able to meet some people and therefore reach modern civilization. If he could escape to the outside world and make a phone call to his mother, then his dangerous adventure would be over.

Chuck hesitated. Suddenly, he spotted a bracelet on one of the indigenous men's wrist. It was written in English!

Did the indigenous people know someone who spoke English?

Chuck thought that it was very likely. If anyone had a mobile phone, he could just call his mother. Then, his mother could just send a helicopter to pick him up, right?

"Come on," Chuck commanded solemnly.

Elise burst into tears and grabbed Chuck's arm forcefully.

The indigenous men continued conversing in a foreign language and started rowing the boat.

"Push them off the boat. Then, we can escape," Elise whispered.

"What 'we'?" Chuck was staring at the man's bracelet. Were there some foreigners at the indigenous village?

"You... I can't wait for them to kill you. I'll commit suicide if things turn out for the worst!" Elise was furious but still refused to let go of him.

Chuck ignored her. The two indigenous men kept talking and eyed Chuck and Elise. Naturally, he was on guard. He was not a fool.

Over an hour later, Chuck finally spotted someone on the shore staring at him. "Protect me. Please, I'll give you a lot of money." Elise was panicking.

"Oh my god! Shut up!" Chuck wanted to understand their language. It would be great if he knew what they were talking about. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

If his mother was around, she would definitely understand.

It was a pity that he did not have the time to learn the language.

The boat docked. The two indigenous men invited Chuck and Elise to go ashore. Chuck got off the boat and Elise stuck to him closely. Although this meant she was in close contact with him, she

could not care less at times like that. She just wanted to survive.

The indigenous men were still chatting. Over a dozen of them came over. Chuck would have a hard time if he had to fight with them.

Meanwhile, Elise was on the verge of breaking down. She was useless at this time.

"Lorem ipsum"

One of the indigenous men motioned for Chuck to follow him.

Chuck followed him without hesitation. Shortly after, they arrived at a village. The village consisted of ancient buildings and looked like a primitive tribe. However, there were some indigenous people that were wearing modern clothes.

Chuck had seen a documentary about this before. They were probably a friendly tribe.

Chuck glanced around to see if there were any foreigners around. It would be great if he could ask for directions. What if they were here for some sightseeing?

What if they understood the indigenous language?

Chuck studied the village closely but could not find anyone. However, he kept observing his surroundings after the men led him into the village. He was considering all his possible escape routes if anything went wrong.

That was Chuck's first priority.

"No, don't! Protect me! Chuck, they're going to take me away," Elise sobbed and grabbed Chuck's hand.

Chuck glared at her. He noticed that several indigenous women were talking about Elise. Despite not understanding them fully, he could tell that they were trying to make her go somewhere else.

"I beg you. Please protect me. I don't want to die," Elise pleaded.

"Ah, no!" Several indigenous women dragged Elise away as she wept in fear. She cried desperately, "No, please, I beg you, I was wrong. Save me..."

Chuck ignored her.

Chuck hesitated for a few seconds upon hearing another villager mumble something. He was pointing to a fragile room made of mud. It was only then that he found that these people had suspicious looks on their faces.

There really was something wrong here. Chuck decided to leave on his own. As for Elise, she was on her own.

Fortunately, the tall indigenous men thought that Chuck was weak. It was not difficult for Chuck to escape. After all, he was an expert in fighting and had a knife hidden with him as well!

However, Chuck wanted to see if they had caught some foreigners. If that was true, he couldn't just escape on his own without saving his kinsmen.

Chuck was not kind but he would be willing to lend his countrymen a hand. It was him taking the risk. After all, one of the men was wearing a foreign bracelet that had to come from somewhere, right?

Several indigenous men babbled away, seemingly rebuking Chuck.

Chuck was shoved rudely into the room as the door closed behind them. The inside of the door was made out of wood, making it extremely easy to bust themselves free. The problem now was that

there were a lot of villagers standing guard outside.

Chuck was confined to the dark room. He could not see and whispered, "Hey, is there anyone there?"

He decided to check if anyone was in the room with him. If there wasn't any, he could then attempt to escape on his own. However, after calling out for a few times, a weak voice echoed in the dark, "You're... caught too?"
