Strangely, it was impossible for such a famous pavilion to not have a single visitor inside, but at this
moment, there was no one in the pavilion.
Suddenly, Lance walked out from behind the rockery beside the pavilion.
Upon seeing Lance appearing, Bryson's bodyguards blocked him in the front.
Lance looked at the bodyguards impatiently.
His gaze passed through the bodyguards and looked straight at Audrey, who was beside Bryson.
"Miss Jade!" Lance smiled and called Audrey loudly.
Hearing Lance call her Miss Jade, Audrey felt a chill running down her spine and couldn't help but
shiver.
Bryson narrowed his eyes and stood in front of Audrey to protect her.
"Mr. Lance, what a surprise to meet you again."
Lance continued to call her loud, "Miss Jade, I have purposely cleared up this place. The spring water
is right in front of us. If I have the honor, let's go and take a shower together in the spring water!"
Audrey was speechless.
Audrey really didn't understand where she had attracted Lance, causing him to chase after her
relentlessly.
If it was her appearance, there were a lot of girls who were more beautiful than her.
If she had done anything to mislead him, she had never given him a good face ever since she had
known him.
Kylee did not have a good impression of Lance either. He was a clingy stalker. Moreover, he looked like
he was involved in gangsters. She definitely couldn't accept such a grandson-in-law.
Kylee pulled Audrey aside and said, "Elliana, let's go back."
Audrey frowned, "But, Grandma, don't you want to wash your hands with the spring water of the
Spiritual Spring?"
Right now, the Spiritual Spring was right in front of them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Whatever, we could stay here for one more day. It's not too late to come back tomorrow. Let's go back
now."
"Alright then."
Bryson also heard the conversation between Audrey and Kylee. He instructed a few bodyguards to
escort Kylee and Audrey to go down the mountain first.
Seeing Audrey leaving, Lance turned around and was about to catch up. Bryson led some bodyguards
to block Lance's way.
Just at this moment, rumbling sounds came closer and closer from the mountain high. Suddenly,
someone screamed.
"There's water coming down."
As soon as he finished saying, a rumbling sound was already within reach.
Bryson, Lance, and the others instantly became alert.
It had just rained in the afternoon, which was a sign of a flash flood.
The two of them said almost at the same time, "Find a high place to hide!"
After everyone heard the order, they quickly found a high place to hide.
Just as Raye saw his brothers standing high, he heaved a sigh of relief and was about to walk to
another high place. Suddenly, the flood poured down and washed Raye away.
The flood was very fast, and just as Raye was about to be washed away by the flood, one hand
suddenly grabbed onto Raye's arm.
The instinct to survive made Raye grab the other man's arm tightly.
When Raye was completely soaked and was pulled to a safe place, Raye realized that the person who
pulled him up was actually the one who had fought with him before. He was Tyson.
Raye's face was a little stiff.
He didn't expect that his opponent would actually save him.
At this time, another person also fell into the water. Raye saw that it was one of Bryson's bodyguards.
Without thinking, he stretched out his hand and pulled the person up. However, the flood was too
violent. Raye's body was trembling. Tyson quickly grabbed Raye's hand. The two of them cooperated
and pulled back the person finally.
Because the flash flood was too violent and overwhelming, no one could escape and more people were
flushed into the water.
At this moment, Bryson's bodyguards and Lance's subordinates all forgot their previous hatred and
helped each other to move to a safe place.
They thanked and comforted each other. Bryson's bodyguards and Lance's subordinates were no
longer opponents. Instead, they were partners in the fight against the flash flood.
With a cracking sound, a large tree which was as big as two hugged persons fell down and everyone
dodged away.
Suddenly, someone screamed, "Oh god! Someone is pinned down by the fallen tree."
Raye and Tyson exchanged glances. At the same time, they rushed towards the direction where the
voice came. Then, they saw the person who was being pinned down by the tree. Others had already
rushed over. Everyone stood beside the tree at the same time and worked together to lift the tree. Two
other people pulled the person who was under the tree with their arms. When the tree was lifted, they
pulled out the person under the tree quickly.
Lance and Bryson sighed with emotion as they watched their subordinates work together to save each
other.
Although they usually confronted each other, when facing danger, their goals were the same.
Not long after, the flood gradually subsided. After counting the men from both sides, they confirmed
that not a single person was missing. Then, they were about to find a way down the mountain.
As they passed by a boulder, Bryson saw Kylee and two bodyguards standing there, but Audrey was
missing.
Bryson widened his eyes.
"Grandma, why are there only you guys? Where's Elliana?" Bryson asked.
Kylee looked very anxious. Hearing Bryson's voice, Kylee's eyes widened as well. She immediately

"Bryson, finally you're here."
"Where's Elliana?" Bryson had a bad premonition.
Kylee's face was still stained with tears, she was full of self-blame.
"It was all my fault. My shoes fell to the side of the stone. I insisted on picking them up. Elliana said it
was dangerous, so she helped me pick them up. Unluckily, the flood suddenly roared on, and her foot
slipped, then the water washed her away..."
As she said, Kylee's tears fell down uncontrollably, with her hands tightly grabbing Bryson's.
"Bryson, what should we do? What should we do?"
Bryson's heart sank deeply.
He held Kylee's hand and comforted her in a deep voice, "Grandma, don't worry, she will be fine."
He didn't know whether he was comforting Kylee or himself with these words.
The flash flood just now was so fierce, mixed with mud, rocks, and broken trees, and there were so
many stone reefs on the mountain.
In the past news of the flash floods, as long as people were swept away by the flash floods, almost no
one would survive.
He clenched his hands tightly and suppressed the panic in his heart to force himself to calm down.
Then he headed down the mountain to find her.
He was filled with hope as he called out Audrey's name while looking around.
"Audrey, Audrey."
Following him closely was Lance.
"Miss Jade, Miss Jade, where are you?" Lance was also trying to help.
Near the downstream, Bryson finally found Audrey.
Audrey was hugging a tree trunk in the flood. The water was constantly pounding her body. In her
arms, she was hugging a little boy who was about six or seven years old. The little boy was scared and
tightly clung to Audrey's neck.
Because of the continuous flushing of the flood, the tree trunk that Audrey was holding was on the
verge of collapse, and it could be washed away at any time by the flood.
