Chapter 314: Climbing Without Gears

This woman was really afraid that she wouldn't survive until they reached the top even if she was tightly bound to Ryan's body.

The man used his right hand for a knife and his left forming a claw to gip on the cliff. Thanks to his abundant profound strength, this climb couldn't stop him at all.

Slowly, Ryan and Ivanka started climbing to the top. Judging from his current position, he still couldn't see the peak.

Ivanka continued to hug Ryan tightly. Her head rested on his chest and she could hear his heartbeat. She was cheering for this brother-in-law inside her heart but she didn't dare to make the slightest sound. If Ryan lost his focus, they might find each other in the afterlife tonight.

In the middle of this cliff, the wind was blowing strong and the scenery below was like a bottomless abyss ready to swallow them. The white cloud approached them, looking like a big cotton candy.

Ryan's climbing speed was initially stable but gradually became faster.

Meanwhile, at one point of the mountain where the climbers were resting and enjoying the view, several climbers were seen taking a break. Among them was a middle-aged man, staring at the distant mountain peak.

"I never get tired of seeing it."

Once a month, he would climb this mountain and enjoy the natural scenery while trying to forget the hardships he faced in his life. He was always in awe of the sight of this majestic mountain, making him climb it many times.

Together with his friends, they took advantage of their day off to climb together.

"Hahaha you sound like an old geezer," his friend laughed at him.

"Or are you tired? I have warned you many times not to get drunk the day before climbing." 

Although this mountain was suitable for beginner hikers, at some points, there was still some steep and difficult terrain. Old people might have a little trouble getting through it.

At this time, a woman joined in their conversation. "Don't blame him, he's just a salaryman so it's okay if he gets tired easily."

Hearing this joke, everyone laughed too. But suddenly, someone among them slipped and almost fell into a cliff. 

"Watch out!" His friends were immediately alert and tried to catch him.

"Hold on tight!" After several people held his hand, they managed to lift his friend.

"You bastard, don't shock me like that!"

"Sorry, suddenly my foot just slipped. I'm so lucky you guys are here, otherwise I would have died. "

"Yes, you'd have died if we didn't catch you. Don't you see how high above the ground we are?"

When they were busy scolding their friend who nearly fell, someone noticed something strange on the opposite cliff. 

'Eh? Is that person climbing the cliff?'

That person was clearly shocked because how could that be? That cliff was so steep, wouldn't be the same as seeking death?

As if seeing a ghost, the person pointed towards the miracle that he found by accident. "Hey, look!"

"Oi, what are you doing screaming like that? Don't you see I'm busy advising our friend?"

"Look over there! He's climbing the cliff!" When he pointed at Ryan, his face turned pale white. He couldn't possibly see the wrong thing again, the sight in front of him was really real!

This mountain was great for climbing for all people but to climb the cliffs? Impossible! Steep cliffs were the biggest obstacle for extreme sports lovers.

When his friends heard this, everyone laughed and mocked him. "Did you drink liquor before climbing? What kind of fool dares to climb this mountain's cliff?"

His friend also added, "Looks like you have to listen to your own words, didn't you forbid us to drink before climbing?"

Seeing that his friends did not believe him, the person pointed at Ryan. "If you don't believe it, look that way. That person is really climbing this mountain's cliff!"

"Oh come on! Are you hallucinating because of the medicine?" His friends then laughed once again. It looked like their relationship was very good since they could joke off like that.

When he was about to get angry, suddenly one of his friends turned to the direction he was pointing. At that moment, his eyes instantly froze as if they had discovered something extraordinary. Across from them was a small black shape moving upwards. It looked like a human and the climbing speed was really fast!

He quickly took his binoculars and saw what he was seeing. His eyes widened when he saw what was really going on.

In the binoculars, he could see Ryan climbing up while hugging Ivanka. Amazingly, that person seemed to be climbing up without using any proper gears. However, his climbing speed was extremely fast.

His binoculars fell off as he was amazed at what he saw.

"Hmm? Why?"

The person then pointed at Ryan and said in a serious tone, "Th… They really climb it!"

"Are you crazy too? Why would someone dare to climb this steep cliff?"

His other friends still didn't believe him at all. One of them shook his head and took the binoculars and looked at them.

When he saw it, he was really surprised too.

What? He too was shocked and screamed. "Oi, oi, what those two said is true!"

"Hah? Gimme the binoculars! You must've seen a bird."

At the same time, his friend handed over his binoculars while pointing at Ryan. 

One by one, they could see Ryan climbing up with Ivanka at such great speed.

"Wow that guy is fast!"

"Did I see it wrong? Is that person really climbing the cliff without equipment while carrying his friend?"

"Ah? Really! How crazy!"

Their eyes were now filled with admiration.

As the climbers scrambled to see him from their binoculars, Ryan continued to climb rapidly. After successfully absorbing 1/10 of his mysterious power, he had managed to obtain an extremely powerful power. He was very confident that he could climb this cliff to the top.

He was climbing so fast, it didn't take him long to arrive at the tree which branches he had broken earlier. 

Looking at it, Ryan estimated that the top of the mountain would be visible soon.

What had happened at the top of the mountain at that time didn't really cause much trouble. The power of the Kruger family allowed for this incident to be fully silenced. Initially, the climbers who recorded the incident had posted the video on the internet. The video went viral and made everyone excited. But for unknown reasons, it suddenly disappeared without a trace.

On the top of a mountain, some people were seen playing chess.

"Ah! Damn, I didn't expect you to take down my horse. I didn't see your queen there."

"You have to be careful when you're trapped." A man in his 50s replied.

"Hahaha as expected of the former chess champion," his young opponent answered.

"Then, I better just give up," the young man raised his hands.

"Don't be like that. If you go the right way you still have a chance to fight back."

Finally, after being persuaded by the old man, the young man sat back down. "Okay then, let me think for a moment."

He looked at the chessboard very seriously and wondered, what kind of move should he make this time?

If he forced his fortress to move, his king would be cornered in 3 steps. He still wanted to fight to get out of this desperate situation.

From the start, their skills were simply far different. The young man only liked to play chess and play with his instincts, while his opponent was a former chess champion in his village and had memorized all kinds of tactics.

"Don't give up, just think with a cool head," when the old man was smoking, suddenly a hand appeared from the edge of the cliff.

With a strong grip, Ryan appeared with Ivanka. However, no one noticed them. Even though the place was crowded, it seemed like everyone was enjoying themselves.

Ryan walked past the two people who were playing chess and moved the young man's queen to check. Now their situation was reversed!

The old man was surprised when someone suddenly helped his opponent, but as he was about to get angry, Ryan and Ivanka had walked away from there.

"Wow, that's right! Now it's your turn sir!" The young man was excited again, now he was in the seeded position.

"Hahaha don't run away yet."

...

After going down the mountain for 2 hours and taking a taxi to the house, Ryan and Ivanka finally made it back safely.

When he returned home, Ryan immediately ran to Irina's room.

After seeing that his wife was not there, his heart immediately clenched.

At that time, Ryan threw Irina into a tree to save her life. Therefore Irina should be able to get off safely because she was carrying her phone in her bag at that time.

But if she wasn't here, there was only one possibility.
