The Legendary Man

Chapter 543 The First To Pray

It was early autumn, and one could still experience a cool breeze in the mountains at about seven in the morning. Jonathan, who was standing at the foothill of Mount Vista Cumulus, was taken aback by the large number of hikers.

The foothill’s parking lot that could accommodate a few hundred cars was fully occupied. Though the parking lot was already jam-packed, more passenger vehicles were still coming in. Some gave up and eventually parked their cars by the road.

The road to the mountain was crammed with people, with traders and their stalls lining the path. Even Yaleview’s most famous mountain, Mount Jarvick, had never been as busy as Mount Vista Cumulus.

Jonathan walked up to a trader that sold beverages and took out a one-hundred banknote. “Hi, could you tell me what’s so special about Mount Vista Cumulus? Why are there so many people here?”

The trader accepted the banknote with a smile. “I suppose you’re not local?”

Jonathan nodded. “I’m from Jadeborough—came here on a business trip.”

“Planning to visit Triplex Manifesta?” the trader asked while pressing his hands on the table.

The man’s response piqued Jonathan’s interest. “How do you know I want to visit Triplex Manifesta?”

“Well, there’s nothing else on Mount Vista Cumulus except Triplex Manifesta.” The trader pointed at the crowd with a fan in his hand. “Look at these people. Some of them had arrived two days ago. You should have come earlier. Anyway, you can always come back again.”

Jonathan chuckled. “I didn’t come here for sightseeing. I came here for work.”

“Oh, come on. Do you think these people came here for sightseeing?” The trader burst into laughter. “They’re all here for Triplex Manifesta to pray for their wishes to come true. And stop acting as if you don’t know what this place is famous for, young man. Now tell me what you want to buy so I can give you the correct change.”

The trader decided to ask Jonathan to leave as he had lost interest in talking to him after listening to the inconsistent remarks he made.

At the sight of his reaction, Jonathan took a bottle of mineral water. “I’ll take this. You can keep the change. Please allow me to ask a few more questions because I didn’t understand what you said just now. Do people really come to Triplex Manifesta to pray for their wishes to come true? Is it that effective? I don’t quite believe it.”

The trader froze while putting on his glasses to look for smaller banknotes to return to Jonathan. “Have you not heard of anything about Triplex Manifesta?”
