The little girl was no longer chatty.
Yorks' stronghold was located on the apex of the mountainside, east of Peach Blossom County.
As soon as Jay and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain, the supervisor poked his head out of the dilapidated management office and waved. "Turn back. The cable car is broken today and it's not getting repaired. There’s no way to go up."
There was a sneer in Jay's eagle eyes. He gracefully walked to the supervisor. "The cable car is broken? Then repair it immediately."
The supervisor looked at Jay suspiciously. "Are you heading up in a hurry?”
Jay nodded.
"What are you planning to do up there? It's all cliffs. If you accidentally stumble down, you’ll become meat sauce."
Jay glared at the supervisor. "You seem to be reluctant to have tourists visiting your natural landscape."
The supervisor smiled with a guilty conscience. "With all you people buying tickets to travel, it’ll surely be beneficial to the people in Yorks' stronghold. How could I not be happy?"
Jay uttered, "First, your excuse is that the cable car is broken. Now, you're trying to use psychological tactics to make us retreat. I'm telling you, don't waste our time. We have reasons to go up, and we have to reach there today."
The supervisor looked at Jay only to feel that he was n o ordinary man. He looked like he would be hard to deal with, so he quickly said, "Then, wait over here. I'll report to someone on the upper side to repair it."
"Good."
The supervisor picked up the phone and dialed a number.
Jay continued to stare straight into him as the supervisor glanced at him several times. He thought that this person had tact and would perhaps hold back when other people were making a call, but he seemed to barely understand any basic etiquette.
The call was connected amidst the awkward atmosphere. The supervisor cleared his throat before saying, "Um... There are a few tourists here and they have to go up today. Will you be able to fix the cable cars quickly?"
A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone." Tsk, another one who isn't afraid of death."
