A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 15

Surprised, Demi quickly averted her gaze.

The luxury car drove past them.

Truth be told, after Demi went back home that day, she had racked her brains before concluding that she didn't know who the lucky man was.

After all, he seemed to be involved in high society, so she wouldn't have had the chance to know him. From the look in his eyes, he didn't seem to know her as well.

Hence, it was either that she was wrong or that he looked like someone else she knew. Yet, she couldn't quite recall who he resembled.

Pointing at the luxury car, Maria protested, "Mr. Hahn, I thought cars couldn't enter."

Matt explained, "I don't think the car is headed to the same place. There are a few villas located on this mountain. If the owner repaired the roads, then cars could travel there."

Maria quickly apologized for her mistake, "I see. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding."

After 20 minutes, apart from Demi, the female guests were panting, and they couldn't help but start whining.

Ana had long handed her bag over to Thomas.

After another 15 minutes, Maria simply sat down on a rock, panting. Fanning herself with her own hand, she said, "I can't do this anymore. I can't go on. I need to rest."

There were beads of sweat on her forehead, and it was obvious that she was tired.

"I'm exhausted too." Ana sat beside Maria on the rock, wiping her sweat as she panted.

Although Wendy was tired as well, she maintained her elegant demeanor. She asked gently, "Mr. Hahn, should we take a break?"

Nigel asked, "Mr. Hahn, how much longer do we have to go?"

Matt chuckled and answered, "It'll take around another hour and a half."

Everyone, apart from Demi and George, gasped. "What?"

They wore hopeless expressions on their faces.

Maria whined, "Mr. Hahn, you can't be so cruel."

A mischievous smile appeared on Matt's face again as he halted in his tracks. He said, "I wanted to think of another way for you guys, but since you're all mad at me, I—"

"Is there another way to get there?" Maria hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hahn. I know you're a forgiving man, so could you let this slide?"

Everyone chimed in, "That's right! Have mercy on us!"

"Alright. Settle down." Matt gestured for them to quiet down. "I have four empty slots here, and these guests can reach our destination in a vehicle."

"Four?"
