“What the hell happened?”
Joel could not help but ask.
Levi hurriedly told him the entire story.
When he learned that the suspension bridge had broken and that Lucy was now hanging below, Joel was completely stunned. He could only be described as furious now.
“So, why are you all just standing here? You’re just letting her dangle there alone?”
Levi also felt very wronged at being coldly yelled at.
“Young Master Foster, we didn’t want this to happen either. I’ve already called for someone to come over but it’s raining and they have to come from the city. It’ll take at least twenty minutes to get here. I’m afraid that Lucy Katz won’t last that long.”
Carina was so anxious that tears welled from her eyes.
“Young Master Foster, you have to save Sister Lucy. You have great means and can surely think of a way, right?”
Joel’s face turned livid.
“I’m not a god and there’s not one bloody thing here. What can I do?”
The hopes that had crept into the faces of the group of people immediately dimmed.
At that moment, thunder roared.
A muffled boom rolled in the sky.
Everyone was shocked by the thunder and suddenly heard a tearing sound below the cliff. Someone cried, “The rope won’t last much longer!”
Everyone paled and ran to the edge of the cliff to see.
The rope was originally attached to the suspension bridge. Due to years of disrepair, and the wear and tear on the sharp stones now, a small tear had opened up in one spot, and was threatening to snap.
“What do we do?”
Carina cried out in tears.
Joel’s face darkened and he suddenly turned to look at some rope not far away.
“How long is that rope?”
Levi immediately knew what he meant.
He frowned and said heavily, “It’s not safe to go down just by using a rope in this weather and under such heavy rain. The cliff is several hundred meters and it’s easy to slip and fall. It’s too dangerous.”
Joel did not listen to what he said at all. He only repeated his question angrily. “I asked you how long the rope is.”
Levi was shocked by his aura and shrank back slightly and answered, “It’s about fifty to sixty meters. The suspension bridge is only forty meters long, so it should be enough.”
Joel did not say anything more. With a cold face, he turned and walked to the rope, and took off his wet jacket, leaving only a T-shirt underneath. Then, he wrapped the rope around his waist.
“Young Master Foster!”
“Second Young Master, you can’t do this.”
The rich kids who came with him were all stunned.
If they still did not understand what he planned to do by now, then they must have been blind.
They had known Joel for a long time and everyone knew that he loved beauties. However, they did not expect that it would be to this point.
It was raining so heavily yet he was going down with just a rope. It was almost as if he was desperate.
One of them who had a better relationship with Joel hurriedly went up to persuade. “Young Master Foster, there’s no need. There’s really no need to do this. Although Miss Katz is indeed recognized as a beauty, didn’t they say that the rescuers will arrive soon? You don’t have to go down in person.”
Joel looked at the man with a cold face. “Didn’t you see how the rope is about to snap? Do you think she can hang on for another twenty minutes?”
That person, “...”
Another young man who came with him saw the situation and came to offer advice.
“Young Master Foster, this isn’t really your style. There’s no need to risk your life for someone you’re not even familiar with, right?”
