The next day…
Stretching his arms, Chen Zhao walked into the living room. Yura ran over, her eyes red.
“Brother, quickly help Cheryl!”
“What happened to her?” Chen Zhao asked despite already knowing the answer.
“She’s trapped by a vine and been hanging for the whole night.”
Under Yura’s constant pulling, Chen Zhao unwillingly entered the backyard.
He saw Cheryl who had been hanging on the tree for the night. He had long expected Yura and Cheryl’s plan last night.
Hence, he asked Eugenice to set a trap and wait for the two to enter.
Anyway, given how fit Cheryl was, nothing would happen to her.
“How do you feel?”
“Chen, I won’t do it again. Please let me down.”
The cold wind for the entire night had cleared her mind.
She should just be obedient while in Chen Zhao’s house.
Trying to be funny with him would probably not end well for her.
Chen Zhao put Cheryl back on the ground and glanced at the two. “Go and have breakfast.”
Cheryl left in dejection. Yura peeked at Chen Zhao and followed Cheryl.
Nonetheless, they were kids, after all. Soon, they forgot all this and began playing again.
They ran all over the villa and eventually found their swimwear.
“Yura, come into the water.”
“I don’t know how to swim…”
Before this, Yura had rarely left her house, not to mention swimming.
Although the lake was blue and clear, Yura still did not dare to go in.
To her, the expansive lake was filled with uncertainty and danger.
“Don’t be scared. I’ll teach you.”
“Last night, I saw a very big shadow in the water.” Yura was still somewhat anxious.
“Haha… Did Chen not tell you? There’s a whale down here.”
“Stop lying. I know that whales live in the sea. There can’t be a whale here.”
“Amon… Amon,” Cheryl shouted at the lake.
Her voice traveled a long distance and kept echoing on the lake.
Suddenly, the water in the distance rose up.
Yura stood on the shore, stunned, as she stared at the huge shadow below the waves.
The shadow continued to near the shore. Yura could hardly think.
Suddenly, the shadow jumped out of the lake. Its enormous body filled Yura’s vision.
Splash!
The huge wave sent Cheryl out of the lake, while Yura was knocked onto the ground too.
It was probably the most incredible thing she had seen in her life.
At the moment, Yura’s mind was occupied by the image of the powerful giant and its mighty aura.
“What’s that?”
“Killer whale. His name is Amon, your brother’s pet.”
“Does he eat people?”
“Haha… Of course not. Your brother’s pets are really obedient.”
“How much food does he eat for one meal?”
“Dunno, but I suppose it’s a lot.”
Cheryl swam to Amon’s back, after which she climbed up and waved her hand. “Yura, come on! Don’t you want to try it?”
Yura did, but she stopped at the sight of the water.
“Come on! It’s fun…”
To the two girls, it was a carefree time when they did not have to think about the complex adult world.
They only had to enjoy themselves as much as possible. Chen Zhao stood up from the recliner.
He watched as Yura took her first step of courage. She choked on the water, but at least she was in the lake.
Under Cheryl’s guidance, Yura slowly learned how to stay afloat.
Her posture was nowhere near standard, but she was still thrilled by the new technique.
In the past, she could only watch other people swim on television.
Watching another person swim before her eyes was already an unlikely wish, let alone swimming herself.
Yura swam to Amon’s back with much difficulty, but then she jumped in excitement. “Cheryl, did you see? Did you? I’m here! I swam here myself!”
Suddenly, two unfamiliar cars entered the villa.
They passed through the winding forest road and stopped before the house.
In his slippers, Chen Zhao strolled outside.
Just then, a man with sunglasses alighted from one of the cars. He tidied his clothes but ignored Chen Zhao.
His bodyguards followed him and lit a cigar for him.
The man smoked a mouthful and blew out a smoke ring. He was still not looking at Chen Zhao directly. “Where’s Yura? I’m here to bring her home.”
“Are you talking to me?” Chen Zhao stared at the supercilious man, his face darkening.
“Is there anyone else here?”
“Nope.”
The man turned his head, took off his sunglasses and looked at Chen Zhao.
From his face, Chen Zhao could tell that he had been having sex too frequently and also doing illegal drugs.
It was not weed, but something more harmful.
“I don’t want to waste any time. My time is precious. Where’s Yura? Call her out.”
The man had been acting very arrogantly, especially the way he spoke.
“Sorry, private territory. Please leave.” Chen Zhao did not want to waste time either.
The man walked past Chen Zhao directly.
It seemed like he no longer wanted to speak with Chen Zhao. Instead, he was going to break in by force and bring Yura away.
Chen Zhao was about to stop the man when one of his bodyguards pointed his gun at Chen Zhao’s head.
“I think you still have no idea who I am. I’m Howard Dark. Remember this name—you don’t want to mess with me.”
Fire almost spurted out from Chen Zhao’s eyes. Howard Dark blew some smoke at Chen Zhao’s face.
“Are you angry? But this is our difference. I’m rich, so I can do whatever I want.”
As if it was all reasonable, Howard Dark said, “This villa is not bad. Although it’s still somewhat shabby, I have to say that it’s a luxury for a poor man like you.”
“I demand that you scram out of my territory right now.”
Even though there was a gun pointed at his head, Chen Zhao did not yield.
Howard Dark patted Chen Zhao’s cheek. “Stupid Chinese, you have yet to understand the situation and your status. Even if I shoot you, I won’t be punished. Nobody can punish me. I have enough money to fill the houses of all the judges, juries, court police and your lawyer. Of course, it won’t be that troublesome in reality. My men are very professional. They know how to make a person disappear without any trace.”
“Me too.” A dangerous look flashed across Chen Zhao’s eyes.
