Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 713

The sky gradually darkened. Heather and Leon walked together, but they still couldn’t see any sign of the car. A rather worried Leon then asked, “Are you sure the car is really parked at a conspicuous spot, Heather?” He even suspected that the car might have been stolen.

“I’m sure of that.” Heather felt they would probably see the car if they walked a little further.

“It can’t possibly have been stolen, can it?” asked Leon, discouraged. As such, he couldn’t stop himself from voicing his doubts.

“That’s not possible,” Heather replied categorically. The car had a superb anti-theft function, so how could it be stolen that easily?

Leon continued to follow Heather. It’s so normal for a luxury car parked in desolate countryside to be made off with, he thought to himself. Instantly, he lost all his vigor like a deflated balloon, and they walked around while looking fruitlessly for a long time.

Eventually, Heather took her cell phone out of her pocket. At this moment, it seemed that they could only rely on the positioning system to find the car. Leon didn’t realize what Heather was trying to do until he saw what she was doing, and he realized that they had totally forgotten about this earlier. “Have you detected the car’s location, Heather?” He leaned closer to her as he was in desperate need of a car right now. After all, they were on a barren and desolate mountain where the vehicles passing by were mostly trucks. If they wanted to leave here sooner, they could only find their car. In an instant, he was well motivated again, dying to see the car at once.

Heather looked at the location displayed on her cell phone. The car was nearby, but why couldn’t they find it no matter how hard they searched? She was somewhat perplexed, and Leon also found this rather strange. Hence, they looked at each other in puzzlement. “What should we do now, Heather?” Leon became even more convinced that the car must have been stolen, and it seemed that thieves’ skills nowadays had become better and better.

“I think they probably camouflaged the car a bit.” Heather looked at one particular spot with a false smile. Earlier on, I told them to park the car at a conspicuous place. Why can’t they understand human language? she thought to herself.

Leon followed Heather’s gaze and saw the car as expected. He then said to Heather with a sullen expression, “This place does seem conspicuous, huh.”

As soon as he finished his sentence, he walked forward directly. Had Heather not checked the car’s location, they probably would’ve searched for the car until the second half of the night without any success. Leon walked toward the vehicle with an unhappy expression, whereas Heather followed leisurely behind him. However, just as he was about to approach the car, she suddenly felt a sense of danger. In fact, Leon was ready to remove the branches from the car himself when she suddenly shouted, “Stop, Leon! Something’s wrong.”

Leon’s outstretched hand paused in midair as he turned around and looked at Heather with a puzzled look. “What’s wrong, Heather?”

She quickly stepped toward Leon and dragged him behind her directly. Then, she picked up a stone from the ground and threw it right at the car.

Just like that, the stone produced a sound as it hit the vehicle. Heather’s hunch told her that this car had been tampered with, but nothing happened at all. Hence, Leon looked at her in confusion. “Don’t prank me at a time like this, Heather.” Thinking that the woman was merely teasing him, he shook her hand off directly and walked straight over to the car.

As a loud boom ensued just then, Leon was knocked over directly as a result of the heatwave produced by an explosion. He was fortunate to be strong and vigorous, or else he would’ve died here today. As the raging flames burned, he got up from the ground and looked at Heather with a trace of panic and confusion. He looked very ghastly, for another explosion had happened. He was f*cking out of luck this year.

“The car has been tampered with.” Heather’s features were almost contorted. For the time being, she didn’t know who was the culprit behind this.

“What’s wrong with this, Heather?” Leon wondered in his mind whether this was the work of the bunch of perverse guys. There had been an endless stream of assassination attempts on his family since the Middle Ages, so it had to be said that he was lucky to be safe and alive until now. At the thought of this, he wished he could return to his family and come to a standoff with those who had the face of a human but the heart of a beast.

“We’re being stalked.” Heather believed that someone must be peeping at them in secret.

“What should we do now, Heather?” Leon knew nothing about Solaria’s rules, and this place wasn’t his turf.

“Call the police. This is the crime scene, so we should try our best not to disturb anything here,” Heather replied as she took out her cell phone and began calling the police. After making the phone call, she stayed where she was and silently watched as the fire grew in intensity across from her. It probably wouldn’t take long before the forest would be burned down as well. At the same time, she also called the fire brigade. Since this incident was too abominable in nature, she had to calm down and sort out the whole matter.

“I’m sorry, Heather. I’m probably the one who’s caused this trouble.” Leon looked at the woman apologetically. He surmised it was probably that bunch of people who did this—they loved creating explosions the most because evidence of the crime would rarely be left behind by doing so. Then, he looked bitterly at the growing fire in front of him.

“No head or tail can be made of this incident yet, so don’t blame yourself for this. I’m the one who probably brought you into trouble.” Heather didn’t know what on earth was going on, but she suspected that she was the cause of this trouble.

“Are we going to wait here, Heather?” Leon watched how the fire grew in intensity and was worried that their safety might be endangered.
