Dense trees stretched endlessly below, while the winding mountain road above seemed to disappear into the sky.

Rex, who had long since run out of complaints, stared at the steep incline and felt his legs tremble. “Boss, are we really going up there?”

Rex let out a piercing scream and squeezed his eyes shut.

All he could hear was the howling wind and the deafening roar of the engine, making him feel as though he was on a never–ending roller coaster.

He had no idea how much time had passed before the car finally came to a stop.

Charmaine frowned slightly at the sight before tossing him a bottle of water. Then, she got out of the car to assess the situation.

The dirt road bore two deep, fresh skid marks.

“The color is still dark, and there’s no dust covering it,” Charmaine murmured to herself. “This happened today.”

She scanned the area and her eyes narrowed in an instant.

Further down a dangerously narrow curve in the road, a large section of rock was missing, with loose debris scattered around it.

Stepping forward, she leaned slightly over the edge–only to be met with a dizzying drop into a dense forest below.

Rex finally finished vomiting and looked up, only to see Charmaine half her body hanging over the cliff’s edge. He nearly had a heart attack. “Boss!”
