Chapter 1640
The bald man was startled and tried to deny it, "I—I don't know what you're talking about-Ah-"
Before he could finish talking, Marshall twisted his wrist, causing a sharp pain that made him cry out.
"I'm not going to repeat myself!"
His tone was icy and emotionless, sending a shiver down the bald man's spine.
The bald man was nothing but a swindler and quickly confessed everything after Marshall threatened him.
Indeed, a woman came to the wishing well three days ago.
She was heavily dressed in casual clothes, but she was exceptionally generous with her money. She had donated
several thousand dollars to make a wish. People would usually leave after making a wish, but she knelt in front of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe wishing for a long time. It was apparent that she was desperate, making her an easy target to be scammed.
So, the bald man initiated a conversation with her, but she kept quiet until he mentioned a stone on the
mountaintop called the "Reincarnation Stone". He told her that if she wrote her lover's name on it, her wishes would
come true.
The woman suddenly became interested and asked him about the stone. He had encountered too many couples in
love like her and did not hesitate to take advantage of her.
Stella not only gave him all the cash she had but even her necklace.
He had originally wanted to take the diamond ring she had on her hand, but Stella just would not give it up.
Marshall clenched his fists tight, and the man shivered upon staring at the intimidating look on his face.
"S-She gave it to me voluntarily. I didn't steal or rob anything from her. She was very stubborn and insisted I tell her
how to get up there. I told her it was very dangerous, but she didn't listen..."
"Then what?"
"Huh? I don't know. I don't think... she's come back down..."
"Lead the way."
Marshall spoke coldly with a stern expression.
"What?" The bald man was taken aback. Marshall shot him a cold glance, and he immediately lowered his head, "I—
I’ll take you there."
The path to the mountaintop was very steep, and no one would dare to go up other than the rangers. One would
have to walk on a narrow path in the middle of a precipice and a steep cliff. It had a width of no more than two
feet, just enough for one person to pass through.

At the entrance of the narrow path, there was a fallen sign that read, "Closed. No passing through".
Marshall bent down to pick it up. When he was not looking, the bald man ran away.
Marshall ignored him, hung the sign back on the stone wall, and proceeded with his journey. After he walked past
the narrow path and a short distance up the mountain, he reached the peak.
He stood up there and, at a glance, saw a huge boulder perched on the cliffs edge. There was a familiar bag placed
on the withered patch of yellow grass beside the stone, yet Stella was nowhere to be seen.
Marshall's heart sank a little. Then, he held his breath and slowly approached the stone.
That stone was about thirteen feet wide, a little over six feet high, and had a weird shape.
The side of the stone exposed to the sun was covered with some scribbles. When Marshall walked closer to it, he
realized they were all Keegan's name written all over the stone.
Marshall felt a lump in his throat as he walked around the stone. He saw someone sitting behind it.
Stella had her back against the stone. She was hugging her knees with one hand and buried her head within them.
On the other hand, she held a pen. 4
