Salvador left the ranch

When Salvador's neighbour came to threaten him and his family with machete, sticks and other tools, he had to quickly think up something to disarm them. He knew he and his family cannot confront them so he quickly came up with an idea. It was that idea that saved him and his family from being beaten up and finally decided his next move.
He excused the mob and ran into the shack and came up with an old newsprint. Since the peasants cannot read, he told them that that was a title deed on the land given by the government attesting to their ownership of the land. To confirm what he has just said, the leader of the team who is the father of his 'arch enemy' gave him a letter written by the daughter to read. He read and interpreted the content to them. Apparently, somebody else had interpreted the same thing so when Salvador did it, the man concluded that it is not the same Salvador Cirenza that they know. He forced his children and the others that had come to attack them to leave. Cantalicia could not take it anymore. She rushed into the house and went straight to the altar to pray to the Virgin for protection from this strange man.
Salvador not knowing what was wrong with her just came in and started reading the old newspaper. Because the paper was an old one, he laughed to himself that if the people had known how to read, then he and the others would be sorry by now oblivious to the fright that Cantalicia was feeling.
Later, he realised that Cantalicia was running away from him so he asked and she confirms it that she is scared of him. That prompted him to make a decision to leave the ranch for good.
On leaving the ranch, he went to LIly for help. The sex- starved Lily was ready to use what she has (money) to get what she want but Salvador was not ready to descend low even if he was desperate. He took enough money to take him back to the city and left Lily's house before she came back.
Lily lied against Salvador and alleged that he was being indecent with her. That was all Sherriff Campo wanted to hear. He went out in search of him that night but missed him. He later sent a search party for Salvador but luckily Salvador made it to the bus terminal. Luck became Salvador's name because the Sherriff's search party saw him inside the bus sleeping from exhaustion and decided not to wake or harrass him.
Salvador was able to dodge and arrive the city at night. Being a gentleman he helped an old woman off the bus. Am sure Don Pedro went to his house that night because the dog barked uncontrollably out of excitement. Isabel could feel his presence.
He went to see Gatena Cherry but she thought he was a mugger. She threatened to call the Police if he did not back off. When he introduced himself as Don Pedro she laughed and mocked saying if he is then she is Cleopatra. After much arguement and confrontation, she decided to see and consult for him but for a fee. Don Pedro/ Salvador had to go rob himself to have enough money to pay Gatena's consultation and check into the hotel.
Simon came back from his love nest in the morning and of course the mother was furious. She dragged him by the ear into the house and scolded him for disrespecting her. He was angry that the mother was treating him unfairly. For once, Abigail missed Don Pedro Donoso fatherly influence and authority on the boys especially Symon. For Anthonio, he is going steady with Angela.
