Gina starfed cleaning up the dishes after Gilmore finished eating Lilian also lent a hand.
But Gina quickly stopped her. “You shouldn’t be doing this, Miss Morales. I can do it. Go take a rest.”
“Gina, why can’t I do it?” Lilian asked.
“Miss Morales, you’re a celebrity. You can’t do chores. Filming is very tiring for you. You should rest!”
Gina refused to let Lilian help her clean the dishes.
Lilian, on the other hand, did not stop.
She took the dishes into the kitchen. Gina had no choice but to accept her help.
“Lilian, I’m going for a walk,” Gilmore said to Lilian, who was walking into the kitchen…
“How about we go for a walk together after I finish cleaning up?” she suggested.
“No, that’s ok. I can go by myself. I’ll be back soon, Gilmore said.
“All right, be careful.” Lilian walked out of the kitchen and smiled at Gilmore.
Gilmore nodded.
After walking a few hundred feet away from the villa, he noticed that there was no one around.
He channeled his mana, then soared into the sky like an eagle with its wings spread wide. In the middle of the night, he was like a spirit leaping off of tree branches on the mountain.
Since consuming the elixir, he had been able to fly with ease thanks to its powerful mana.
Soon after, he landed on a mountaintop.
The night sky was illuminated by the moon.
Under the moonlight, lush trees could be seen growing around the mountain’s crest. There were a few boulders about 120 inches tall at the edge.
One–third of the boulders had been buried in the mud. Even though the boulders were on the mountain’s edge, they were anchored in and would not roll down the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a slope. About 1,000 inches down, a winding mountain road leading up the mountain could be seen.
Gilmore stood on top of the mountain, looking down at the road below.
When he was eating before, his eyelid twitched, and his God’s Eye saw that Clinton had ordered Clive to bring a number of martialists to deal with him.
Thus, after dinner, he made an excuse to go for a walk in order to ambush Clive and his people.
The night wind blew softly in the moonlight. Gilmore’s eyes were calm as he stood on the mountain, waiting for the enemy

to arrive.
30 minutes later, he noticed cars appearing at the foot of the mountain and driving up along the winding mountain road.
Although they were quite far away, Gilmore was able to see them with his God’s Eye and quickly determined that the cars belonged to Clive and his people.
“They’re finally here!” Gilmore’s eyes shone brightly.
The sounds of their cars grew closer, and the headlights of five cars shone brightly on the winding road.
When the cars were approaching the road below the slope, Gilmore did not hesitate to take action.
Like a bolt of lightning, he slammed his palm into a few boulders at the edge of the mountain peak.
His mana caused several immobile boulders weighing tens of thousands of kilograms to roll out of the ground.
In the next second, three boulders rolled down from the mountain peak
It sounded as if mountains were collapsing and the ground was cracking.
Clive and the martialists felt that something was wrong.
“What’s that noise? Clive, who had his eyes closed in the car, suddenly opened them. His gaze was as sharp as a knife.
As an elite external force martialist, he was suddenly struck by a sense of peril.
“Sir, I don’t know what happened,” the other people in the car responded, perplexed.
“It sounds like a landslide.”
Upon hearing the word “landslide, Clive immediately ordered, “Stop driving forward, or we’ll be in danger.”
Except for the street lights, everything in the mountains was pitch black in the night.
Clive and his people could not see what kind of danger was lurking around them.
Hence, Clive requested that the driver park the car where they were so that they would be safe.
He wanted to assess the situation further before making a decision.
All five cars stopped on the road.
Clive thought that stopping the cars was the safest option, but for Gilmore, that was exactly what he wanted.
Because if they did not run and instead chose to wait, the boulders would roll down and smash into them.
Amidst the rumbling noise, several boulders tumbled down the slope.
Following the loud bangs, the people screamed in horror, and sparks flew everywhere.
Several boulders slammed into the five cars parked on the road below in an instant.
The cars and boulders flew off the road and down the dark hill.
When Gilmore saw this, he knew that Clive and his people had taken a heavy blow. It was obviously impossible for them to cause trouble for him and Lilian now.
Following that, Gilmore used his mana to fly away from the mountaintop.
10 seconds later, he landed on the road near Lilian’s villa.
At that moment, he heard hurried footsteps coming from the direction of the villa.
“I thought I heard something!”
“Hurry, go check and see what’s going on!”
Gilmore recognized the voices as being those of the villa’s two security guards.
The encountered Gilmore. When they saw him, they exclaimed, “Mr. Reed, it’s your
Gilmore gave them a nod. I’m just coming back from a walk.”
The security guards looked down the road but saw nothing. “Mr. Reed, did you hear something just now?”
Gilmore nodded. “I heard the noise. It appears to be a landslide.
The two security guards nodded in agreement. “That’s right. It sounded like a landslide in the mountains.”
At the same time, Lilian and Gina came out of the villa.
The two rushed over to Gilmore. “Gilmore, are you all right?” Lilian asked with concern.
“I just went for a walk.” He shrugged. “What could possibly happen?”
Lilian responded. “I heard a loud noise coming from outside when I was in the villa. I was terrified when I recalled that you went for a walk. Thank goodness you’re okay.”
Gilmore wrapped his arm around her shoulders. “You don’t have to worry. It’s just a landslide in the mountains. I’m fine.”
With his reassurance, Lilian heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that you’re alright. Let’s head back in!”
They then made their way to the villa.
Cina and the two security guards also returned to the villa, murmuring about the landslide.
The night went by in complete silence.
After finishing their breakfast the next morning, Gilmore and Lilian got into the BMW and drove away from the villa.
When Lilian arrived at the foot of the mountain, she discovered several ambulances and a large crowd of onlookers. Something must have happened here.
Gilmore knew that the boulders he had pushed down the mountain had smashed Clive and his people’s cars, causing them to tumble down the mountain. But they were discovered.
Therefore, ambulances were dispatched to help out
Lilian came to a halt, rolled down the window, and asked a young man standing by the roadside, “Hey, buddy, what’s going
on with the ambulances up–ahead?” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The young man instantly put on a frightened expression and said, “It’s terrible! A massive boulder rolled down the mountain last night, sending several cars flying. The cars rolled down the mountain, killing a large number of people!”
Lilian was dumbfounded. “Could it be that the loud noise last night came from those boulders smashing into the cars?” she wondered.
