Maja fell right on the edge of the cliff. Thanks to the lantern above and the surrounding lights of the hot springs, she could clearly see the situation around her. Five meters away, Holden lay on the ground, unattended.
She was about to help him, but she saw one of the masked men approaching Holden with a dagger.
Maja lunged at him with reckless abandon, but the knife ultimately found its way into Holden's arm.
Holden had weathered many storms before, and he didn't utter a sound.
Maja, terrified, held the dagger. But at that moment, the surrounding lights suddenly brightened. It turned out that everyone who had been stargazing had come over.
A few venomous snakes had just appeared over there, causing the women to scream. The crowd moved over here, only to see the dagger in Maja's hand stuck in Holden's body.
More screams erupted, but the masked man standing next to Maja instantly stepped in front of her, adopting a protector's stance.
Maja let go of the dagger, and another masked man behind her suddenly knelt down.
"Sir, Holden has already given us the exact location. We can leave now."
After that, he turned to Maja, "Miss, you've worked hard."
Maja's pupils contracted sharply. She felt someone tugging at her pants leg. Holden could still be saved.
If she didn't play along with these two men's charade, Patric, with his temper, would give Holden another stab.
Maja's mind was a mess. She saw Patric turn around, mockingly staring at her.
As if asking her, what are you going to do?
Maja's heart pounded. She quickly threw the black box in her hand to Ian. This was what Holden had instructed her to do to ensure it got into his hands.
"Ian, trust me."
Ian's face was hidden in the shadows. No one knew what he was thinking. He opened the black box in his hand, and a highly venomous snake suddenly slithered out, biting his finger.
At the critical moment, Judith suddenly shoved Dylan away and yelled.
"Ian!"
The snake's venom was potent. Judith grabbed his bitten finger without hesitation and began to suck the blood out with her mouth.
Maja took a step forward to say something, but a force at her waist pulled her forward, and the next moment, she was leaping off the cliff.
The cliff was high, and there was no end in sight.
The parachute above her head opened instantly, along with Patric's intentionally lowered voice.
"Maja, thanks to you this time, we could pry these secrets out of Holden’s mouth. His mouth was tighter than a clam's shell when we locked him up here."
These words echoed in the valley and everyone's ears.
Maja began to struggle violently, but Patric held her tight with one hand.
By this time, they were far away. The wind whistled past her ears, but she felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She was completely speechless, just struggling desperately.
"Move again, and you'll fall to your death."
After Patric said this, Maja struggled even harder. She clearly wasn't afraid of dying.
Patric knocked her out and held her tight.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
