As soon as Scarlett got out of the car, those men's eyes lit up.
Viviana and Yair walked up to Scarlett, blocking those people's view.
It was not dark yet. Scarlett recognized Cormend standing among those men.
Viviana's face was more serious than usual. She looked back at Scarlett and said, "Scarlett, get back into the car.
I'll settle the matter." "Aunt, I'm afraid they came here not just for money.” Scarlett paused and looked at Cormend. " The man we met at noon is also here." Hearing this, Viviana instantly understood that she couldn't send them away by throwing money.

When they were in the hotel, Scarlett told Viviana some things about Gormend.
Scarlett didn't know much about Gormend. Kyleigh once came to Juanton City to make trouble for Scarlett, and Katherine investigated the Booker family at that time. Thus, Scarlett got some information about Gormend while reading the documents.
Gormend had been idling about since he dropped out of school at the age of sixteen. He sometimes went to the town to steal with the rogues in the village and came back at two or three o'clock in the morning. He had been caught a few times, but the things he stole were not valuable, so he had just been jailed for several days.
Gormend seemed to know that he would violate criminal law if he stole too much money. He always stole four or five hundred dollars at a time and stole again after using all the money.
The police in this village were all local people. Gormend was familiar with them. Even if he was caught, he could be released soon. Gormend and his friends had been emboldened.
Scarlett hadn't expected that they would dare to stop the cars and rob in the daytime.
These people were obviously uneducated and always stole.
Now they were viciously attacking other people. Scarlett was worried that they were not here for money.
Scarlett's face darkened. She looked at Gormend. Her pretty eyes were cold.
Gormend was nervous under her gaze. He shook his iron bar and suddenly felt confident, leering at Scarlett.
Meanwhile, Viviana said, "We are passing through. Now that we've disturbed you, we're willing to compensate you. Please tell us how much you want." Instantly, the man standing in the front laughed. "Madam, you're straightforward. It was difficult for us to build this road. You should pay some money before leaving.” He paused, looking at the car. "You drive a Bentley and wear expensive clothes. You don't seem like ordinary people. I'm not greedy. Since you're just passing through here, you just need to give each of us 100,000 dollars, and we'll escort you then." Hearing what he said, the other men were excited. They were living in a poor village and could only steal a little money. That was not enough for them at all. Now, they each would get 100,000 dollars by robbing.

"Kenneth!" Some of them couldn't help calling their leader.
Gormend was overjoyed, but he stared at Scarlett, reluctant to let her go. "Kenneth, it's good to have money, but look over there. We had never seen such a beautiful woman before! We're not as experienced as you. We've been staying in this small village. We just want to touch and kiss this beauty." They noticed Scarlett as soon as she got out of the car. Gormend and the other men were all fascinated by her.
Gormend whispered in Kenneth's ear. Kenneth was swayed.
Scarlett was delicate. Her skin was fair, soft, and bright.
Kenneth also wanted to touch her and...
Seeing that they were discussing, Viviana immediately had a sense of foreboding.
