Chapter 1405: Sudden Situation

Rowan and Claire withdrew their gazes, exchanged smiles, andcontinued walking forward. The scenery here was unique, with a cloudyforecast for the day. The gray sky gave off the feeling of a misty, rainyscene, as if they were in a traditional ink painting.

Indeed, the one that was abandoned was the luckiest, for it would meetsomeone who truly appreciated it and cherished it, allowing it to realizeits greatest value.

The Maybach headed toward the ancient town, gradually moving awayfrom the hustle and bustle of the city and onto a narrow mountain road.The car windows were closed, and the temperature of the heater insidewas just right. The girl in the passenger seat had even fallen asleep.Tristan noticed this and appropriately slowed down the car. Worried thatshe might catch a cold, he pulled the car over, took a blanket from thetrunk, and carefully covered her.

Standing next to the passenger seat, he gently tucked a strand of hairthat had fallen on her forehead behind her ear. Half-bent over, hegazed at her up-close, and Tristan felt an inexplicable sense oftranquility in his heart at that moment. He closed the car door, returnedto the driver's seat, and restarted the car.

About a minute later, Tristan noticed that the sky had becomesignificantly darker, with the signs of an impending storm. He glancedup at the sky, where heavy, dark clouds hung overhead. A strong windhowled, causing the tree branches to sway violently. It was indeedgoing to rain.

The mountain road wasn't too rugged, and once they passed themountain, they'd reach the elegant ancient town on the other side. Ifthe road and weather were good, they could have arrived within anhour.

But almost immediately, heavy rain began to pour, with large dropletspounding on the car body, creating a chaotic noise. The girl furrowedher brow and opened her eyes. She saw the thick rain mist outside thecar window and the splashes of water on the hood. The mountain roadahead was barely visible, and she could feel the car slowing down."How did it start raining all of a sudden?" she asked, turning to look athim in disbelief.

Tristan suddenly hit the brakes. The car, already moving slowly, cameto a complete stop. He seemed to have seen something. His faceturned serious, and he didn't immediately answer her question. Instead,he stared at something ahead in shock.

Monica also heard an unusual sound. She turned her attention forwardand saw, with wide, panic-filled eyes, "A landslide?!"

In the next second, Tristan decisively began to reverse the car!

The heavy rain continued to pour, the wind howling, and the treebranches swaying violently, as if the heavens had suddenly changedtheir mood. Monica's heart tightened, and her hands clenched into fists.Tristan's grip on the steering wheel tightened, and his expressionchanged instantly. There was no place to turn the car around, and theheavy rain severely affected visibility. However, Tristan remained calmand controlled the car's speed well.

Monica didn't dare speak or even breathe heavily. She stared at thelandslide sliding towards them, inching closer and closer to the car.One misstep, and they would be buried.

She was terrified, her hands clenched, silently praying.

At that moment, a huge noise came from behind the car, startling bothof them. Through the rearview mirror, they could vaguely see rocksrolling down from the mountain, mixed with dirt. It was a torrentialdownpour of debris.

"Ahh!" Monica became restless. She turned to face the side, feeling anintense premonition that they would die here today.

Tristan's heart also skipped a beat, and he slammed on the brakes.They couldn't reverse any further.

The car came to a steady stop, but the road was blocked both in frontand behind them. The safe area was shrinking, creating a feeling ofbeing caught in a pincer attack.

"What do we do now?!" Monica's heart was about to jump out of herchest, her eyes filled with unprecedented fear.
