Chapter: 1578

Alyssa nodded, a bit apprehensive. “With my beginner skills, I wouldn't dare explore further."

Norah was surprised by Greta's candor, showing a sincere concern for Alyssa's safety she hadn't expected.

Greta turned to Norah, cautioning, “I've brought you here and outlined the potential risks. If anything happens, you can't hold me responsible."

This was her way of distancing herself from any liability.

Norah understood and replied, "Got it."

Sean, who had been surveying the area, skied over to Norah.

“There's no immediate danger. The trail appears as flat as a blue slope. We just don't know what lies further down."

“The woman who brought Alyssa here will surely keep her safe. I just checked the GPS on my phone; we're close to a black slope. Should we head there on our skis?" Sean inquired.

The blue slope was too mild for the thrill they sought, Now that they confirmed the area was secure, they could leave Alyssa without concerns.

“Alright,”

Norah replied.

Alyssa sighed in disappointment when she heard they were leaving. "If you have to go, then go. I understand this place isn't exciting enough for you."

“Okay, see you next time." Norah smiled.

Suddenly, Greta called out to them, "Just be careful. The other trails beyond this one are treacherous."

“Got it," Norah replied, wondering why Greta was being thoughtful.

Wasn't she still holding a grudge against her because of yesterday's competition?

Greta watched them vanish into the snow with a sly grin, exchanging looks with her companion.

“See, I knew they would fall for it.”

“Greta, that's smart. But those trails aren't much different from the black slopes, right? They‘re not too dangerous?”

“They're just tricky enough to get them lost for a bit. Getting lost in this vast snow isn't fun," Greta replied.

"They won't end up in serious trouble, right?" her companion inquired.

“Of course, they won't get hurt. They'll find their way back eventually."

Greta didn't mean to harm the couple. She just wanted to teach them a lesson.

Suddenly, Alyssa called, "Greta, could you help me with this?"
