The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 680

Thalassa stood with one foot planted firmly on the ground, the other propped against the pole used to control the zip line’s brake. Her one hand was resting on her hip, the other gripping the brake to prevent the zip line from rushing down.

Her stance and words startled Bruce, who was suspended mid-air. He suddenly realized something, but it was too late to do anything about it.

He was perched on a makeshift seat, the size of a typical safety belt. And he was suspended above a vast abyss. His safety belt felt anything but safe. Beneath him lay a sheer drop, and the slope was a steep cliff.

If he cut the rope himself, he would plummet to his death. If Thalassa let go, he would shoot across to the other side of the mountain and crash into sharp rocks, possibly dying on the spot.

Bruce forced a smile, trying to maintain a facade of calm with Thalassa, “Thalassa, I don’t understand what you mean. Can you lower me down slowly and we can talk when I’m on the ground, okay?”

“No talking, huh? Alright, then I’ll let go and let fate decide.” Thalassa’s wrist loosened slightly.

Bruce’s body slid down a considerable distance as the zip line pulley rolled, causing him to yell out, “Ah, no, no, no!”
