Chapter 1088: Jump Into The Immortal Lake!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Victoria had previously tried to commit suicide. Now, she was in a dangerous state of mind, having just fallen out of love. As such, Jordan was afraid that Victoria would have such thoughts again and was very worried about her.
Lauren immediately said, “Okay, I’ll definitely help you keep an eye on her and make sure she’s fine.”
Jordan said, “Thank you for doing this. You’re pregnant, but you still have to help me do this. You have to be careful of yourself and the child, okay?”
“Yes, don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”
…
!!
Mount Denali, Immortal Lake.
Planes with hexagonal symbols landed beside the lake, and Randall and Victoria slowly walked out of the plane.
This place was previously occupied by Shaun’s men. However, with Shaun’s death, the Rong family was now under the control of Jordan’s subordinates and members of the Mutant Tribe. There were no other forces here, so the Mutant Tribe had regained control.
However, Randall didn’t know that they were all being secretly monitored by Lauren.
Randall and Victoria walked to the barrier of Immortal Lake. Victoria knew that it wasn’t that easy to enter.
Victoria asked, “How… can we enter this place?”
Randall said proudly, “There’s an invisible barrier here. Two days ago, Shaun led the elite troops of the Rong family here and used all sorts of firepower, but they couldn’t blast open this ‘gate’. He even had many of the world’s top research teams try to come up with a solution.
“Hehe, even if I let them continue their research here, they probably won’t be able to find a way to break the barrier in a year or even 10 years!”
Seeing how proud Randall was, Victoria gazed at him in admiration.
Indeed, there were not many people in the world who could stump Shaun and the Rong family’s technology.
Randall said, “Victoria, come with me. I’ll teach you how to enter this place.”
The pair walked to the barrier. Randall asked Victoria to try entering first.
Victoria took a step forward and immediately encountered a force that stopped her. She retreated.
“No, I can’t enter.”
Randall said, “This is because you entered too quickly and too forcefully. You have to be very, very slow. Follow my actions, you have to reach out your hand first.”
With that, Randall reached out and slowly touched the barrier.
Victoria did the same but she immediately met resistance.
“Why can’t I do it? Does this barrier recognize people?”
Randall smiled. “No, anyone can do it. I’ve already said that you’re too fast. Try to use the slowest speed and the lightest force to slowly probe in.”
So Victoria held her breath and reached her hand in as slowly as possible.
Indeed, after slowing down, the force exerted by the barrier decreased noticeably.
Victoria said, “So the harder you try to break in, the greater the opposing force. You have to use the lightest strength to not be obstructed.”
Randall said, “That’s right. Victoria, you’re indeed clever. This is also the mystery of my barrier. That fool Shaun couldn’t enter, so he wanted to use a more powerful cannonball to blast it open. Little did he know that the more power they used on the barrier, the harder it is to succeed.”
Victoria praised Randall. “You’re so smart. You actually thought of such a method to stop those bad people.”
Victoria continued to probe forward slowly.
Soon, Victoria felt a force pulling her from another part of the barrier.
“Randall, I feel like I’m being pulled.”
Victoria hurriedly said to Randall.
Randall said, “Very good. You can exert some strength now. Come in with me.”
Victoria straightened her body and walked in.
Likewise, the others from the Mutant Tribe also used the same method to enter the barrier.
There was no need for any kind of special Mutant Tribe keycard. Anyone could enter using this method.
Everyone from the Mutant Tribe entered the barrier. No one was left outside.
At this moment, Lauren also walked over.
“Oh, so one has to enter with the slowest and lightest force. How magical. I’ll try too.”
Lauren had promised Jordan that she would monitor Victoria and ensure that nothing would happen to her while she awakened her abilities at the Immortal Lake. If she remained outside, she couldn’t see the situation inside the Immortal Lake.
Moreover, she didn’t have to worry too much about being discovered by the Mutant Tribe.
The head of the Mutant Tribe was Jordan’s uncle. Even if they discovered Lauren’s presence, they would not hurt her.
Therefore, Lauren tried to enter.
However, like Victoria during her first few tries, Lauren didn’t immediately master the technique and was pushed back.
After a few minutes, Lauren gradually learned how to better control her strength. Her body slowly entered the barrier. By the time Lauren entered, Randall had already brought Victoria to the side of the Immortal Lake.
The others were all gathered there, seemingly very concerned about Victoria’s awakening.
Randall and Victoria stood less than a meter away from the Immortal lake.
Randall asked Victoria, “Victoria, are you nervous?”
Victoria was firm. “No, I’m not nervous or afraid. I’ve already died once. My parents died when I was young. To give my sister a good life, I missed out on the best time in life for a girl to fall in love. I gave my best years to a man who was about the same age as my father.
“It wasn’t easy for me to meet Jordan at the age of 30. But now, I’ve lost him. I don’t want to rely on anyone else. I want to have my own abilities and power. If I can’t do it, then let me die. There’s no point in living anyway.”
Randall smiled. “Alright, as expected of the woman I like! You are indeed domineering! But don’t worry, you won’t die. And when you come out of the Immortal Lake, you won’t be a mortal anymore. You’ll be a mutant with superpowers that anyone in the world would envy! So Victoria, be bold and jump in!”
“Okay.”
Victoria nodded at Randall. Without any hesitation, she jumped into Immortal Lake!
“Ah!”
Hidden some distance away, Lauren covered her mouth gently.
“Victoria jumped in just like that? Oh my G.o.d, I hope nothing happens to her!”
Lauren had always admired Victoria. She looked up to this kind of domineering and ambitious woman. Even though Lauren was a big-city girl, she still couldn’t compare to Victoria.
However, she never expected Victoria to be so determined and decisive.
“Looks like Victoria is still affected by her breakup with Jordan. Victoria, I hope nothing happens to you. Otherwise, Jordan will definitely blame himself for the rest of his life.”
