Climbing for fun

Henry's reaction obviously exceeded most people's expectations. Even Sylvia did not expect that Henry would accept Nick's challenge easily.

The feeling that someone stood out for her made Sylvia feel so sweet but also worried.

"Haha, brave enough." Nick gave Henry a thumbs-up.

"I won't bully you. You are not even qualified to be in this elite club. Remember, a person's destiny had been decided upon his birth. But, since you are here today, why don't we just do outdoor sports? You can't only rely on pretty face in this men's world!"

After Nick's words, Carl showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.

Sylvia gently pulled Henry's sleeve and shook her head at Henry.

As the son of the top leader of the military in Ning Province, Nick was once under military training for a long time. It was known that he was sent to the Special Warfare Brigade by his father and trained for a whole year. His physical abilities were far beyond ordinary people.

As for Han, although he had never received training like Nick, as a member of this private club, he also had a lot of achievements in the outdoor sports, How about Henry?

He was wearing a suit and no one could see anything except for his straight figure.

Moreover, anyone who came to this party in a suit was obviously not the kind of person who liked outdoor sports.

Henry squeezed Sylvia's little hand. "It's all right."

Henry turned his head and nodded to Nick. "If you want to play outdoors, I'm in."

"Okay!" Nick shouted. "But there's something you have to know. You and Sylvia are not in the same world at all. This is not the place for you."

"Cut the crap." Henry waved his hand impatiently.

"What do you want to play? Say it yourself."

Seeing Henry's arrogant look, Nick was just about to speak when he was interrupted by Hans voice. "Rock climbing without a safety rope!"

"Free Rope Rock Climbing!"

"It's too risky!"

As soon as Han's voice fell, there was a burst of exclamation around.

From the literal meaning, everyone knew how dangerous this was.

Climbing had always been a high-adrenaline exercise. Even if one were tied to a safety rope and lying on a cliff, it would still make his legs tremble.

The climbing path of this club was based on a mountain path, and it was only adjusted a little.

After climbing to a height of thirty meters, it was no different from a regular mountain. What was more, the surface was vertical and flat!

Without safety rope, it meant that if a person was not careful, he could slip and get smashed to pieces!

Han's mouth curved into a sinister smile. "Kid, what do you say? Do you dare to accept it?"

"Han is going to force that brat to his death!"

"That's right. Free rope rock climbing. If this kid wants to die, he should accept it."

"In my opinion, he won't accept it."

"Isn't he a son-in-law just for money? People like him do not have any backbone or dignity. How can he be willing to risk his life?"

The onlookers spoke one after another.

Sylvia said in a crisp voice, "Han, don't talk nonsense. We..."

Before Sylvia could finish her words, Henry interrupted her. "I'll do it! Tell me the rules!"

"He said yes? Does he really dare to accept it?"

"I don't think it's appropriate to reject in front of so many people here."

"Haha, what's there to be embarrassed about? He is just a matrilocal son-in-law. Why would he have any dignity?"

The onlookers sneered.

"Alright! Kid, you're brave!" Han sneered. "However, there are some things that don't depend on bravery."

The news that Sylvia's husband was going to compete with Han in climbing without a safety rope spread throughout the clubhouse in an instant.

This matter, whether it was the title of Sylvia's husband, or the competition with Han, or climbing with no safety rope, was extremely attractive. When the three keywords were connected, it immediately attracted everyone's interest.

Many people who did not know what was going on and thought that Sylvia's husband was also a master of climbing. Otherwise, how could he possibly compete with Han? As a result, when they saw Henry in a suit and leather shoes, they immediately lost interest. He didn't look like someone who was good at outdoor sports.

Also, Sylvia's husband was matrilocal son-in-law., the rumour that he had to accept the challenge because he felt embarrassed spread throughout the club. Almost everyone thought that Henry was courting his own death.

Now it was getting dark. The lights got turned on, and the scene was as bright as day.

On the ninety-degree vertical mountain, there were some special stepping points. Briefly, one could not see the top of the mountain wall, which was nearly two hundred meters high. The owner of this club regularly held a climbing competition. Those who could climb the mountain within an hour would get a huge reward. In the end, only a few people got the reward, which showed how difficult it was to climb all the way up.

Looking at the scattered stepping points on the wall, knowing that there would be no safety rope, made people scared. If they were not careful, they might be doomed!

Han stood at the starting point, wore protective gear, and prepared his tools. From his skillful appearance, one could tell that he had a lot of experience.

On the other hand, Henry, dressed in suit and leather shoes, stood in front of the starting point. He did not wear any protective gear or any tools. He just stared blankly at the cliff and no one knew what he was thinking

Judging by their preparation, it was clear who would be the winner.

"The rules are very simple. The time is not limited. Whoever gets higher will win!"

To climb with no safety rope was not only a test of the technique but also a test of courage. Some people who had climbed to a height of a thousand meters, could not even climb more than ten meters without a safety rope, and they were so scared that they did not dare to move.

Henry nodded. He did not care about the rules, because he knew that he could not lose. A cliff less than 200 meters high was a piece of cake for him.

He recalled that many years ago, he and a group of good brothers would climb the cliffs of thousands of meters with bare hands when they had nothing to do. Whoever was the coward was the loser. In the end, all of them sat on the top of the mountain and drank wine, waiting for the sunrise.

"Looking back at that kind of days, it's just like a dream. A cliff of 200 meters is just for a little fun." Henry sighed.

While Henry was sighing with emotion, Han had already begun to climb up.

Han's movements were very skillful. The first ten meters, he didn't use any tools at all. He grabbed the stepping points accurately with his hands and exerted force with his arms to jump up. His smooth movements caused a cheer. After more than ten meters, he began to use tools. His speed gradually dropped.

"Han is indeed powerful!"

"This action can't be more skilled!"
