Chapter 201

“Don’t you dare leave.”

Marcus swiftly kicked the dagger out of the gangster’s hand. With a crack, the gangster clutched his arm and cried out in pain.

The kick had dislocated his arm.

Only then did he find a moment to glance at the frightened Millie. However, in the same instant, the gangster retrieved the

dagger and charged towards them.

“Go to hell!”

“Watch out!”

Millie felt the sharp dagger threatening to pierce her eyes.

Marcus swiftly wrapped his arms around Millie’s waist. In this critical moment, he exerted all his strength to evade the knife.

However, their combined momentum caused them to lose balance. Though they managed to avoid the stabbing, they tumbled

down the cliff together due to their proximity to its edge.

Apiercing scream echoed throughout the valley.

As darkness enveloped the surroundings, Millie felt someone nudging her. She groggily opened her eyes, experiencing intense

pain.

The sky shimmered with golden sunlight, and soon, a handsome face appeared before her. He appeared calm and composed.

“You're awake.” Marcus withdrew his hand, which had been assisting Millie.

“Argh... Where am I?”

Millie sensed the uneven ground beneath her. As she reached out, she discovered it was covered in small stones.

Casting her gaze around, she spotted towering mountains.

“We fell down the cliff. Try to get up first and check if you're injured.”

Millie gazed at Marcus with a dazed expression and shook her head. Recollecting the prior events, she recalled how Marcus

shielded her from the gangster’s attack, but they still tumbled off the cliff.

She struggled to sit up, feeling immense pain all over her body. She rotated her neck and glanced at the steep slope. Closing her

eyes, she silently thanked their fortune for falling down the slope instead. Had they plummeted straight from the cliff, their bodies

would have been shattered.

“Where did the gangster go?”

Millie scanned the surroundings but found no trace of anyone else.

Marcus remained silent. Right now, they had better things to worry about. With the day growing late, their priority was to find a

way up from the base of the cliff.

It had been easy to fall down, but ascending proved to be far more challenging.

Marcus stood upright, his posture unwavering. “Check your phone to see if it’s functional.”
