Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 97

Down by the little river, Eileen was all set and ready to rock. With a rope tied to her back, she took off at full speed.

Suddenly, she flung herself forward. Almost at the same time, a croc hidden beneath the river seized the opportunity, rearing its head and flashing its razor-sharp teeth.

But Eileen had already marked the croc's position. In fact, she had purposely headed straight for it.

Just as the croc lifted its head, she used her foot to step on it. The moment she landed on it, she used it to boost herself. Without any surprises, she landed on another croc.

The river was over ten meters wide, but she took nine steps, using the crocs almost like stepping stones. Finally, she safely reached the opposite bank. The whole process took less than ten seconds.

On the other side, Egbert had a faint smile playing on his lips.

Elaine and Burton immediately started clapping. Lucas and Eddie were completely gobsmacked.

After reaching the other side, Eileen didn't stop.

She picked up a stone from the ground, untied the rope from her body, tied the stone to one end of the rope, and threw it to the other side.

The stone, with the rope attached, landed on the river bank on the opposite side, where it was picked up by Burton.

Eileen then climbed up a nearby tree, almost to the top, and tied the other end of the rope to a thick branch.

"Alright." Standing on one foot on the tree, Eileen made an "ok" gesture to the others.

Burton on the other side returned the gesture, then climbed on a large rock. Elaine followed suit. Burton tied the rope around his waist, then hugged Elaine, saying to the three below, "We'll show you how it's done."

With that, he hugged Elaine, took a running start on the rock, and the two of them swung across to the other side.

They traced a winding arc in the air. A few seconds later, they arrived safely on the other side.

After letting go of Elaine, Burton found a higher point, and swung back. Lucas and Eddie were still in shock. Standing on the rock, Burton asked the two, "Who's going first?"

Eddie was so frightened that he quickly took two steps back.

Lucas said, "I'll go first."

"Alright," Burton said.

This time he was holding an adult man, so Burton struggled a bit, but he still managed to carry Lucas safely to the other side.

Once on the ground, Lucas looked up at Eileen, who was still on top of the tree, constantly checking if the rope was loose. Now Lucas was completely in awe of this girl, admiring her from the bottom of his heart.

She was truly amazing.

Burton then brought the scared Eddie and the always calm Egbert over. After everything, including their luggage, was brought over, Burton came over himself. Only then did Eileen put away the rope and come down from the tree.

As soon as she came down, Lucas immediately praised her, "You're a pro."

At this point, Eddie was still pretty scared, patting his chest, and he blurted out, "That was too close."

Burton gave Eddie's back a firm pat and said in a displeased tone, "Why don't you trust me."

Eddie was on the verge of tears. He touched his painful back and complained with teary eyes, "This place has no safety measures, I thought I was going to die here."

Back at the campsite.

Major Warner smiled, gesturing, "Let's go and get them."

The director and some crew members quickly grabbed their cameras and followed suit.

As they were leaving the camp, Major Warner seemed to remember something, turning back to ask, "Is Mr. Lopez going with us?"

A soldier quickly went to inform him.

After a while, the soldier came back and said, "Mr. Lopez said he is not going."

Major Warner didn't mind and urged, "Let's go."

Everyone got into the off-road vehicle and zoomed off.
