After kicking open the wooden door, Lu Chuan saw the group of people huddled inside the carriage.
Their ages varied, but none were over eighteen years of age. Some were very young, curled up in corners, shivering.
They all had more or less some scars on their bodies—it was apparent they had been beaten when they were captured.
Lu Chuan put on a veiled mask, concealing his face.
"Do not be afraid. From now on, you are free. Return to Forest City, go back to your parents. They must be worried sick," he said.
After Lu Chuan finished speaking, the people in the carriage seemed to calm down quite a bit, no longer as timid as before.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan continued to ask, "Do you know who captured you?"
A few of the older children shook their heads slightly, indicating they didn't know.
After much thought, Lu Chuan still said, "The one who took you away is the City Lord of Forest City—Wan Changdong."
"You're talking nonsense! It can't be him!"
