Once Cheryl stood behind Leonard, the other merchants no longer cared about the incident.
An insignificant figure like Cheryl being taken under the wing of someone else meant nothing to them.
What they cared about was the berserk slaves now on the loose.
With their status and the numerous slaves under their control, they were frightened by the possibility that they might have also gone berserk.
They refused to believe the series of incidents was a coincidence.
Maybe once or twice could still be counted as a coincidence.
But a third time and more times?
Then that was no longer a coincidence!
Instead, the incident had to be orchestrated by a mastermind behind the scenes.
They indulged in the pleasure of flesh and many more debaucheries, but they weren't foolish. None of them made it here through fluke or luck.
They all made it here through their wits and intelligence to survive in grim situations.
