Monroe smiled and did not deny it.
The scene turned cold for a moment.
Only Mary’s voice came from the video screen by the pool. “The volcano in the Hearth National Park is one of the largest craters in the world. It erupted 500,000 years ago. Although there are occasional lava eruptions now, experts have detected that there won’t be any activity for at least 20 years…”
“What will happen if the lava is ejected? Of course, it will be a devastating world-class catastrophe…”
“Compared to an ordinary volcanic eruption, an extraordinary volcanic eruption is like the power of a bomb compared to a firecracker…”
“How much energy will it have? Think about it, if all the nuclear weapons on Earth are blown up, the power will be 500 times greater than that!”
“At that time, all the animals and people in the scenic area will be completely destroyed. Not even a speck of dust will be left.”
“Of course, none of this will happen. With the development of current technology, we can predict the prelude of a volcanic eruption. We just need to do the transfer work in advance…”
As Mary listened to the news, she suddenly felt pain all over her body.
She turned to ask Monroe, “Do you feel that the water has suddenly become hot?”
Monroe’s expression changed, and he immediately came over to pick up Mary and quickly jumped out of the hot spring!
Mary’s skin had already turned red.
Monroe was also red, but it was not as serious as Mary’s.
Mary was still a little confused and did not know what had happened.
Just then, a scream came from not far away —
Then, two, three, four… a large number of screams of pain spread throughout the entire mountain.
Mary and Monroe looked at each other, and their expressions changed.
Monroe first carried Mary back to the bedroom upstairs, put cold water on her and let her shower while he turned around and went downstairs.
Mary was panicking. She didn’t know what had happened, but after taking a shower and feeling that she was fine, she quickly put on her bathrobe and went downstairs.
Herman and Hugh hadn’t come back yet.
But a few bodyguards had already come up.
They were panting, and their eyes were filled with fear. “The water in the hot spring suddenly turned into boiling water, and many people were scalded to death!”
Mary widened her eyes in shock.
It was said that there were 8,000 flowing hot springs, big and small, in the park!
If this was true… how many people had suffered!?
“Where are our people?”
“Two of them were badly burned. One of the maids… died in the pool.”
The man in black sighed. What he did not say was that the maid’s skin had fallen off from the scalding. Her flesh and blood were mixed in the pool. It was very… grotesque.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little gloomy.
Monroe’s face was filled with anger. “Gather everyone up! Contact the person in charge of the area, I want to see them! Also, get someone to bring the sixth and seventh young masters back quickly!”
“Yes!”
The man in black received the order and quickly turned around to do his work. Mary paced around the room anxiously.
In a short while, most of the bodyguards and maids came up. The person-in-charge was also brought over, but Hugh and Herman still hadn’t made any movements.
Mary stood up. “I’ll go find them!”
Monroe stopped her. “Wait, if they don’t come back in five minutes, I’ll come with you.”
Monroe first went to the side to talk to the person-in-charge, then asked someone to arrange for the maids to go to Herman and Hugh’s room to rest.
Because their companion had been burned to death and their body was still floating in the hot spring pool, many of the maids who had seen the tragic scene didn’t look too good at the moment.
Mary saw Adele standing in the crowd and heaved a sigh of relief.
Herman and Hugh hadn’t come back when the manager left.
Even the people who had gone to find them hadn’t come back.
