The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 217

Jeremy kicked the stone cliff face and propelled his body back as he untied the rope and landed firmly on the ground. The

movement startled a colony of bats.

As he stood up and patted the thorny weeds that clung to his clothes, his sharp eyes began scanning the surroundings. The environment at the bottom of the cliff was particularly harsh, and the situation looked rather bleak.

No traces of Corinne could be found. Whether she was dead or

alive, he was adamant about finding her at all costs.

He frowned, pushed aside layers of vegetation, and carefully searched for her. All of a sudden, a black shadow pounced at him from behind. Jeremy was keenly aware of the movement, and he turned to give the figure a thumping kick. He then saw a brown bear howling as it bared its teeth and fell over.

The brown bear seemed to be very hungry, and its eyes lit up when it saw Jeremy-a potential prey item. After a while, it got up and attacked him again. Nonetheless, his body was strong and agile, and it took him barely any effort as he knocked the brown bear to the ground with several kicks.

For the moment at least, the danger had been temporarily averted.

Jeremy had a bad feeling when the bear appeared, for he did not expect such a huge beast to be present there.

‘Could Corinne have been eaten since she’s nowhere to be found?’ As that thought appeared in his mind, his eyes turned red, and he took out a miniature shotgun from his back waist.
