Unexpectedly, just when the villagers were getting ready to retreat, the men in black went ahead and took Henrick’s men head-on.
“Who are you people?” inquired Henrick after being forced into a corner by those men.
“Your worst nightmare!” answered one of the men in black before slamming his fist into Henrick’s face, knocking the man’s lights
out.
“They're for us!” shouted Nigel in joy, reigniting his fellow villagers’ will to continue fighting.
With the unexpected help, the villagers were able to fend off Henrick's bodyguards within minutes.
Nigel then let out a sigh of relief before approaching the men in black to express his gratitude. Suddenly, the men lined up in two
rows and saluted to Arielle in unison, so naturally, the villagers all turned around to look at the slender woman behind them.
With just one look, Nigel instantly recognized who the lady was. “Arielle? You're Henrick's daughter, aren‘t

you?"
Arielle nodded in response before stepping aside to show Teddy hiding behind her. The boy then ran toward his father and hugged
the man's legs. “Dad!”
After pulling his son behind him, the man shifted his focus back onto Arielle and questioned cautiously, “These men... Were you the
one who sent them to help us?” “Yes.”
With that, the villagers were filled with bafflement while Nigel inquired curiously, “But why?”
Teddy then quickly answered his father before Arielle could. “It was Sannie who asked us to sign the papers. She has been trying to
help us all this while.”
“What?” The answer only served to baffle Nigel even further.
Smiling faintly at the man, Arielle explained herself. “I've cut all ties with Henrick, so he’s no longer my father and vice versa. What
the man did was unforgivable. I'll make sure that he pays it and that you'll get your due.”
Teddy nodded fervently in agreement with Arielle. “Sannie’s a good person, Daddy. You can trust her. She's with Robin.”
At that point, it was already apparent to the boy's father what kind of person Arielle was.
“Never have | expected to receive help from a young lady like you,” stated the man with a bitter smile. The village chief, anxious to
know what they should do next, stepped forward with his questions. “Arielle, before you came, we planned to take whatever
valuables those men have in their houses and sell them off to pay for our wages. What do you think we should do now?”
“You can’t just take their stuff; that's illegal. If you do that, Henrick will take legal action against you. No reason is going to justify
breaking the law.”
“What should we do then?” inquired Nigel anxiously.
Then, Arielle calmly took out a stack of documents and explained, “Don’t worry. All you have to do is sign your names on these
papers, and I'll do the rest.”

“Sign my name?” Suddenly, Nigel smacked down on his own leg. “So it was you all along! You're the one who's been secretly
helping us!”
“That's right. You don’t have to break the law. Just cover here and sign your names on these papers.” Immediately, the
villagers hurried over and before long, every piece of the documents had a nsigned on them.
After signing himself, Nigel rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly. “I should‘ve listened to my boy and signed this earlier.
Henrick wouldnt have been able to take advantage of us for so long if | did.”
“Don’t be too hard on yourself. Henrick is the one at fault here, not you.” Arielle comforted the man as she went through the
papers. After that, she stood up and asked for the villagers’ attention. “Signing these papers means that you‘ve entrustedto
collect your due
wages, so givestime, and | will bring you news soon.”
When Nigel remembered how Rube tried to help them, he gritted his teeth and fell to his knees before Arielle.
