In fact, his intuition told him Donna was fine, and she was waiting for him to find her. “I can’t afford to panic now. We must have missed out on something!”
With that in mind, Alpha Kilian opened the car door and got out. “I have to check the surroundings and find out where the problem lies.”
The moment Alpha Kilian opened the car, a gust of cold wind blew past, and he felt much more awake after that. He briefly glanced at the people inside the car before walking off.
Those three in the car were all focused on the screen, and they didn’t even notice Alpha Kilian leaving.
After getting out of the car, Alpha Kilian surveyed his surroundings. Since there was limited sunlight, he found it hard to see clearly.
He then noticed a convenience store that opened all day, and he went in.
When he came out of the convenience store, he was holding a pack of cigarettes. He couldn’t be bothered about the type or brand of cigarettes he bought. All he wanted was to smoke and calm his nerves.
By the time he finished a cigarette, he was still as anxious as before.
Just as Alpha Kilian was about to head back, there were two people walking past him.
“I’m going to tell you a secret, and you must keep it to yourself!” one of them said to the other. “What is it?” the other person asked.
“Yesterday, I saw the male lead and female lead…” In a low voice, the person continued, “They were getting it on behind the mountain!”
“What? Are you serious?”
“Of course, I am! I saw them doing it with my own eyes!” “You saw them in action? Really?”
“Yes! Although I couldn’t see them clearly because it was at night, I could hear them loud and clear. Who would have known? The female lead looks so innocent, no? I didn’t expect her to do something so extreme!”
“Wait. Why would they do it behind the mountain? Can’t they just go to a hotel?”
“Well, people might see them if they were to go to a hotel together. The area behind the mountain doesn’t have any surveillance cameras. It’s dark there, so no one can see a thing. Besides, there’s no one there, not even the paparazzi. Even if someone does show up, they can just hide somewhere nearby. Most importantly, they do it for the thrill!”
“You’re right. Hey! Bring me along next time when something like that happens, will you? I would like to enjoy a live show as well!”
“Sure!”
They were talking and walking at the same time.
Right then, Alpha Kilian suddenly showed up in front of them and stopped them in their tracks.
Those two were shocked to see Alpha Kilian. He was wearing branded clothes, and he had the looks. Who is this guy? What does he want? Is he a new celebrity? A few seconds later, one of them asked, “W-What do you want?”
“You guys mentioned something about the back of a mountain, right? Where is that?” Alpha Kilian asked.
Guilt washed over them instantly. One of them blinked anxiously and said, “I didn’t say that! You must’ve misheard me!”
With that, they wanted to flee. However, Alpha Kilian wasn’t letting them go so easily. He stood in front of them once again to stop them from leaving.
The two of them looked utterly troubled. “We’re just extras, and we’re about to start shooting-”
“I’m not trying to cause you guys any trouble. I just want to know where the back of a mountain is!” Alpha Kilian interrupted.
The two of them exchanged glances. Should we tell him?
Just then, Alpha Kilian whipped out his wallet and took out a stack of cash. “Is this enough?” The two of them stared at the money, and they didn’t quite know what to say.
“I’ll say this again. I’m not here to cause trouble. I just want to know how to get to the back of the mountain!” Alpha Kilian emphasized.
Being the extras there, it would take them months to earn the money Alpha Kilian was offering. Hence, their attitudes changed instantly when they saw the money in Alpha Kilian’s hand.
“It’s there! Just go straight from here.” “Take me there!” Alpha Kilian said.
“Oh… But I need to shoot soon!”
“Fine, then!” Alpha Kilian pretended to put his money back in his wallet.
One of them saw it and yelled, “I’ll take you there!” He then turned toward the other guy and said, “You’re not shooting today, are you? Take him there for me!”
“But…”
He then whispered something into the other’s ear. The latter responded with a nod and said, “Okay! No problem!”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
After they were done discussing, one of them looked at the money in Alpha Kilian’s hand and said, “Shall we?”
Alpha Kilian gave him the money. The guy accepted it happily and said, “This way, boss!” Just like that, he led Alpha Kilian forward and arrived at the spot where Donna lost her phone. “We’ll only need to keep walking forward from here!” the guy said to Alpha Kilian. “There’s no more road ahead, right?” Alpha Kilian asked.
“You’re right. There’s no road leading to the back of the mountain. We’ll have to follow along the footpath.”
Alpha Kilian’s expression changed. “We didn’t see anything from the surveillance footage. If this is where Donna got lost, she must’ve been taken to the back of the mountain!”
As they were walking, the guy said, “There are no surveillance cameras here, and the mountain path is rugged. A lot of celebrities would come here to date! No one will catch them here. Actually, I’ve seen quite a few of them here!”
Alpha Kilian wasn’t interested in gossiping, so he asked, “Is the area at the back of the mountain big?”
