Chapter 558 Mysterious S Gate (1/2)
When Rachel heard that Carl was going to tell Hiram, she reached out to grab Carl's phone and handed it over to Celine, who was standing behind her, ”Carl, there are many tourists outside. Please, don't make a scene, okay?
Besides, we have our bodyguards with us. Don't worry. We will just go around for a walk and then leave. There's no need to worry about anything.”
They had planned to travel here for leisure. However, now Carl made it seem like a very mysterious and dangerous place.
As she spoke, Rachel and Celine walked out of the hotel at a fast pace.
There were many tourists out and about, that came to enjoy the night view. Some were walking while others were taking photos. The setting seemed very romantic and comfortable.
However, Rachel still noticed that a warning line was put up against a border not far from them, to prohibit tourists from coming closer.
It seemed very strange and unnecessary as it looked like a mountain wall and didn't even have a gate to enter through. Why would anyone even bother to put up a warning line there in the first place? However, she still didn't believe that there was anyone who could break through the wall to enter.
”Rach, how about we go back now? You've done enough sightseeing for one day. It feels so weird and gloomy here. I'm... I'm not sure I like it,” Celine said in a timid voice. Since she was drugged the last time she was out and about, she became more cautious about where she went. She didn't want anything like that incident, to happen to her again.
She knew that Rachel was much braver than her because she had experienced a lot in the past year alone. But she was unable to remain as calm as Rachel.
”Yes, Celine is right. I think it would be best for us to go back now,”
Carl immediately agreed when he heard what Celine had said. It seemed unrealistic to think that one wall had separated two worlds. There was a dark and damp half of the city behind that mountain, which was not a place to be trusted, especially not for those who were wealthy. It was said that two dark forces who were rooted there were fighting with one another each day. It was a place filled with bloodshed and danger.
Rachel nodded her head after she looked around for a while, ”Well, let's go back then. It's already late anyway.”
They then went back to the hotel.
Celine went back to her room to rest once she returned to the hotel. After taking a shower, Rachel laid on a soft pad beside her window, browsing through a book that she had brought with her on the trip.
She realized that they were walking nearly the entire day, but didn't feel as sleepy as she had expected she would. She just felt physically drained.
She read the book for a while. Later when she felt too sleepy to continue, she stretched out her body and put the book on the table before she went to bed.
Right at that moment, she heard a noise outside of the window that startled her.
It seemed like a motorboat had just passed by.
Rachel rubbed her eyes and yawned. She then walked over to the window, opened the curtains and checked whether everything seemed fine outside.
