My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1961

Vivian nodded. "Yeah, I'm afraid of falling."

The rain had just stopped, and the grass underfoot was slick. One careless step could send someone tumbling over the edge.

Manfred chuckled. "We passed by here earlier. There was no fog then, and you could see down. It's a massive abyss.

"This area is shaped like an oblong crater, and legend has it that it appeared out of nowhere about a hundred years ago. No one knows how deep it really is because no one's ever dared to find out."

"A crater?" Vivian's curiosity was piqued.

She wanted to hear more about it. They found a nearby spot to sit, and Manfred began telling her the story behind it.

It sounded almost like a myth.

Over a century ago, a monster was said to lurk in the nearby mountains. It frequently descended upon villages, preying on people and leaving destruction in its wake. The local authorities were powerless to stop it, so they had no choice but to evacuate the nearby settlements.

However, many people passed through this area, and without exception, they all became the monster's prey.

One day, a priest heard about the havoc and came to confront the monster.

During the battle to subdue the monster, the ground split open, creating this very crater. It was said that the monster was sealed beneath it, trapped by its immense depth, unable to escape and wreak havoc again.

Locals rarely dared to come near, fearing the monster might one day resurface.

"Do you believe in that story?" Vivian asked.

Manfred replied without hesitation, "Not at all."

Vivian laughed. "Same, it's just a story. There are many natural reasons why a crater like this could form. Of course, maybe monsters do exist, but if they do, I wouldn't find them scary.

Vivian glanced up at the sky. The clouds had thickened, casting a gray hue over the landscape.

"Should we keep moving?" she asked. It looked like it might rain again.

Yesterday, someone from Briarpatch delivered a letter to Manfred, informing him that the rain had finally reached the town. After years without a single drop, this rainfall brought newfound hope to the people.

The entire town was celebrating.

Manfred had shared the news with her the moment he read it. She had been genuinely happy for them.

For those people, rain meant survival.

Manfred stood up and looked at her with deep, steady eyes. "Let's go. We still have a long way ahead."
