Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Fali was indeed scared, but after Chen Zhao arrived, she cald down a lot.
When they reached ho, Chen Zhao poured Fali a glass of water.
“Tell what happened.”
“I was about to go to sleep. As usual, I used the night vision binoculars to check the coastline. Then, I discovered that... there seed to be soone in the sea. I thought it was a drowning person, so I swam towards him.”
“And then you were attacked by evil spirits?”
“I heard that ‘drowning man’ calling for help. I grabbed him, but he was dragged into the water by sothing. I tried to pull him up, but then I was dragged into the sea too. Under the surface, I saw a ship packed with... people. They were the ones pulling the drowning man down.”
Chen Zhao thought of a word. “Ghost ship?”
“Yes! It was a ghost ship roaming in the sea! I watched as the ghosts on the ship tried to pull down too. Then, Walter ca and saved .”
This confird their initial suspicion that it was a supernatural event.
“Chen, I’m now sowhat scared of the sea. I’m afraid that... I will never be able to work in the Coastal Rescue Team again.” Fali was in a similar state as Daniel.
The attack was truly a psychological trauma for her.
“I’ll settle the problem,” Chen Zhao assured.
Nevertheless, it was really a troubleso problem.
The key was that Chen Zhao had no experience of locating evil spirits.
After so consideration, the only person that Chen Zhao could think of was Sienna.
“Sienna,” Chen Zhao called Sienna’s phone.
“Chen, do you know that staying up late is the most damaging thing to a lady’s body?”
“Do you want to earn money?”
Sienna was wide awake at once. “What is it?”
“Fali was attacked by evil spirits today.”
“Is she alright?”
“She’s just a bit scared.”
“What do you want to do?”
“According to her description, she was probably attacked by a roaming ghost ship in the sea.”
“Ghost ship? I’m no match for a ghost ship.”
“Are ghost ships very difficult to deal with?”
“Do you know how my teacher died?”
“How?”
“Twenty years ago, a ghost ship appeared at West Coast. My teacher ford an alliance of thirteen witches but in the end, they all died in the sea.”
“Are ghost ships really that scary?”
“Yes. The biggest problem is that ghost ships hide in the sea most of the ti.”
“Do you have a way to find or track them?”
“If you really want to fight against a ghost ship, you better prepare for the worse.”
“I don’t need you to fight it with . Just tell if you have a way of locating it.”
“Let think about it... How much money will I get?”
“Ten thousand.”
“Deal... I just need to find the ghost ship, right?”
“Yes, you don’t have to battle with the ship.”
Sienna was a spiritualist, a supposedly comfortable and high paying occupation, but everyone who knew her also knew how poor she was.
“Alright. I’ll inform you if I find anything.”
...
The next day...
After washing up, Chen Zhao knocked on Fali’s door.
“Fali, are you awake?”
“Co in,” Fali said from inside the room.
When Chen Zhao entered the room, he realized that Fali still looked rather pale. She had yet to recover from the incident.
“How do you feel now?”
“Not good.”
“I’m going out later. Help to take care of Black-Ma and White-Ma. Oh yeah, White-Ma’s injured,” Chen Zhao said.
“White-Ma’s injured? By who?”
“He was attacked by a shark in the sea yesterday.”
“Is he alright?”
“I’ve already treated him. It’s not fatal, but he won’t be able to do vigorous exercise in the next few days.”
“Sure. Leave him here. I’ll take care of him.”
Then, Chen Zhao left the house, bringing only Beelzebub, Raymond, and Carrie with him.
...
Chen Zhao went to the fitness center for his boxing class.
Gaia’s class was strict as usual, but Chen Zhao was gradually getting used to it.
Unlike the first few sessions, Chen Zhao was now able to block or counter so of Gaia’s attacks.
This ant that Chen Zhao’s boxing ability had improved significantly. Nonetheless, how well he could perform in an actual fight was another issue altogether.
In the face of danger, Chen Zhao might not even be able to react in ti.
The biggest difference between amateur fighters and professional fighters was their reaction to danger.
Chen Zhao’s greatest advantage was his physical fitness, but he needed practice on his reaction speed.
“Chen, that’s the end of today’s lesson,” Gaia said.
To be honest, Gaia already found it sowhat tiring to teach Chen Zhao.
She had experienced for herself how good Chen Zhao’s stamina and strength were.
In the past, she could counter Chen Zhao’s attacks with her skills. However, as Chen Zhao also beca more skillful, she was no longer able to deal with him that easily.
She taught Chen Zhao mainly free sparring.
Because she was larger in size than Chen Zhao, she was less agile.
She had no advantage in speed, and definitely a disadvantage in strength and stamina.
“Chen, be prepared. Next ti, I’ll arrange an assessnt for you.”
“What assessnt?”
“I’ll find a few experts in sparring. You’ll have to fight against them at the sa ti.”
“...” Chen Zhao was speechless. “Is that really necessary?”
“You don’t want to waste the money you gave , do you?”
...
In the afternoon, Chen Zhao went to Mr. Doman’s house to give his daughter Normans her slimming session.
When Normans saw Chen Zhao, she clearly did not seem happy.
“Normans, let’s start.”
“Did you cast a spell on ? Why didn’t I have any appetite since last night?”
“You need evidence to say sothing. If you don’t have any evidence, stop accusing .”
“If you don’t explain everything clearly, don’t expect to cooperate.”
“Are you hungry now?” Chen Zhao looked at Normans with a smile on his face.
Rubbing the extra at on her belly, Normans’ face darkened.
“You wicked wizard!”
“Alright. Stop bitching and start exercising.”
Normans gritted her teeth and stared at Chen Zhao. In the end, she still gave in.
After Beelzebub returned her her appetite, she started to feel starved.
She really wanted to be unyielding and say that she would not cooperate, but she simply could not.
“Can I eat after I run a kiloter?”
“No. One kiloter and you only get an apple.”
“What? No way! Do you want to die of exhaustion?”
“If you don’t run, you won’t even get an apple.”
Doman stood at the windows, watching his daughter and Chen Zhao run around the lawn.
Normans’ cursing could be heard from miles away.
Doman did not know whether he could be happy or sad. Chen Zhao had been running just in front of Normans.
“an, shaless, perverted, abject fool, bastard, trash...” Normans cursed. Before she even finished one kiloter, she was already covered in sweat.
Chen Zhao slowed down and ran beside Normans. “Normans, speaking continuously as you run will only make you expend your energy quicker.”
“Isn’t that exactly what you want? You bastard!”
“Of course. Please cuss louder, I beg you,” Chen Zhao taunted.
After one kiloter, Normans actually showed no sign of stopping.
“How much do I have to run in order to eat grilled at?”
“Ten kiloters.”
“That’s not possible! You’re just giving an unrealistic goal!”
“So you should stop having unrealistic thoughts too.”
