Everyone was in despair.
The restaurant on the top of the mountain was not big, and the ingredients were rare and fresh, which meant that there was not a big amount of food here. Although there were not many people in the restaurant, there was still no way to provide enough food.
That was to say, not only were they facing the pressure of a mudslide and a landslide, but they also had to endure hunger.
The latter was easier to deal with, but the former, such a big landslide happened in Mamond. Who knew when the latter fell?
In the room, a feeling called fear swept through everyone. Outside the window, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by lightning and thunder. Any one of them could be called a horror film background.
The people of the Association were cursing Jaelyn. Sara frowned, saying that she wasn't afraid was a lie. After all, her life was in danger.
She looked at the pouring rain outside the window and bit her lower lip. Alex whispered, "Don't be afraid... the rescue team will come soon."
Screams rang out in the room, followed by the rumbling of thunder. It sounded like hundreds of thousands of horses galloping on the grassland or something heavy falling from the sky. At first, no one realized what it was. Then someone cried, "It's a landslide or a mudslide!"
"... listening to the sound, it's very close." Alex pursed his lips and grabbed Sara's wrist. "Sara, you..."
"I'm only a little afraid," Sara said softly. "You don't have to comfort me."
Alex forced a smile. "This is the second time I'm so close to death."
In truth, the most terrifying thing in this world was not the death itself, but the temporary helplessness of the human through death.
Just like now, everyone knew that not far away, there was a landslide accompanied by a flood of mud and debris, but no one could stop it. They could only wait for death.
Sara turned her head to the side. Her face had turned completely white the moment lightning flashed past her eyes. This kind of light would have been terrifying to anyone's face, but it was different for Sara. Perhaps it was because her face was too gentle, but it was just like a flash in the pan.
She asked, "The second time?"
Alex's heart was suddenly touched. He lowered his eyelashes to hide his strangeness and said, "Well, the second time. The first time was when a hooligan came to our house to steal something, and I found it. He used me as a hostage and wanted the police to let him go. He didn't do anything serious, and he was too nervous, so the knife almost cut my throat off."
Sara was startled. "Then... Are you okay with your throat?"
"I'm fine right now," Alex said. "At that time, I thought I was definitely dead. But I'm still alive, so I'm sure I'll be fine this time."
Sara bent her eyes and smiled.".. You're right."
Alex grasped her hand tightly, as if he was holding an untraceable warmth. "It'll be fine."
That's my attitude." Hank frowned and threw the report on the table. "What is it? Is it written by someone?!"
The people at the meeting table were all shivering with fear, and no one dared to upset him.
"Alfred..." Someone said in a low voice, "This file was made by your man."
Cold sweat broke out on Alfred's forehead. I, I don't know what those bastards wrote..."
He was in his 60s, with a square face, a beard, and a strong facial features. He looked quite good in a suit and leather shoes, but now his hands and feet were trembling, which made him feel a little happy.
One of the councilors said in a low voice, "Alfred, I heard that your youngest son asked Master Hank to..."
"No, no!" Alfred quickly said, "That's all his fault. What does it have to do with me?! Don't talk nonsense!"
His son was thrown back with broken arms and legs. He was still lying in the hospital, but he didn't even dare to fart. He also slapped his youngest son on the spot, lest Hank would vent his anger on the entire Tyler family. In that case, his official career would be ruined!
Fortunately, it was only his youngest son who got the plague. There was nothing serious about the Tyler family, but he was still afraid that others would mention it, and he was afraid that he would remind Hank to deal with the Tyler family.
He knew that others were saying that he was weak and coward, but so what! These people were just stubborn. If they really fought with Hank, who wouldn't kneel on the ground and call him father? So he didn't care at all. But he never thought that even if he was so cautious, it was still because Hank was the one who reported the criminal.
He carefully observed Hank's movements and didn't dare to speak at all.
Finally, another high-respected member said, "Mr. Bishop, I think we'd better give the matter further thought and discuss it..."
"Excuse me." Bella knocked on the door with a strange expression on his face. He walked quickly to Hank and whispered to him. Hank immediately stood up and said, "Sorry, I have something urgent to do. I have to go now."
Everyone looked at each other. "It's not the boss, but you should tell me before you leave. What should I do?"
However, Hank had already walked quickly out of the meeting room.
In the corridor, there were armed police who were armed. When they saw Hank and Bella, they all saluted. Hank simply nodded and asked Bella, "What's going on?"
Bella lowered his voice and said, "Miss Martin came up with the drug, but her formula was stolen. Zayn died. While eating at the restaurant on the top of Mamond, a large- scale mudslide and landslide happened in Mamond, which has caused many places to suffer. Miss Martin is also trapped in the restaurant. It's very dangerous. Looking at the satellite map, I can see that Shane has already headed for the location of the restaurant on the top of the mountain..."
Hank tugged at the black leather gloves on his wrist. His entire being was filled with malice. "Prepare a helicopter."
Bella was stunned and immediately said, "Master, now Mamond is raining heavily, so the helicopter homework is not allowed. It's too dangerous..."
Hank suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Bella. The look in his eyes was like that of a fierce beast choosing its prey in the night. He said, "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Bella's heart went cold. "... Yes, I got it. Should I go to pick up Miss Martin, or..."
Hank paused and said, "Put the blame on the Selmy family and tell them that you're here to pick up the young master of the Selmy family."
Bella immediately understood-she was protecting Miss Martin. If others knew that Master Hank went to pick up a little girl with great fanfare, wouldn't he tell those who had evil intentions clearly to her?
He sighed. He thought to himself that Miss Martin was already as important as this in his heart. It seemed that he had to curry favor with this girl in the future.
