The Supreme Soldier in the City-Chapter 578 - 590: There are sharks in the sea

After quite a while, the three girls finally let go of John Brown and Lucy Campbell, while Lucy reluctantly released John. She truly wished the game would continue so she could keep holding onto John.

Lucy Campbell wiped the water off her face and said, "Alright, no more craziness with you guys. James, let’s go make some barbecue. You guys can come over to eat once you’re done playing."

The three immediately agreed cheerfully and swam back to the sea, while John and Lucy headed to the beach. The barbecue grill was already set up, along with various ingredients. That’s the lifestyle of wealthy people—anything they want is prepared for them without them having to lift a finger.

The two sat by the grill, slowly roasting skewers over the fire, and Lucy looked at James, smiling, "See how wild these girls are?"

James Brown laughed, "Yeah, they are really wild. My Sandra at home is quite lively too, but she can’t compare to them. However, it seems like their bond with you is really strong."

"Yeah, the four of us have always played together since childhood, so our bond is very strong. Later, I started working while they continued their carefree lifestyle. Sometimes, I think living like them without worries is much happier than my life."

James looked at Lucy seriously and said, "Living like them seems to lack ambition. Don’t you have great aspirations? Such a life would be more exciting."

"I used to believe that too, but recently I’ve been feeling that this kind of life isn’t what I need. An exciting life doesn’t necessarily bring happiness, and often, the simple things can be more memorable. I want to let go, be a carefree little girl, but for now, there’s no suitable person to take over my responsibilities."

Lucy spoke with a trace of melancholy, and James could empathize. It’s like he felt recently; striving to become stronger seemed meaningless upon reflection. Being an ordinary person brings true happiness.

For a moment, both were silent. After a while, Lucy raised her head and asked James, "James, what should I do?"

James met Lucy’s eyes and slowly said, "Your life is yours to decide. No one can make choices for you. If possible, pursue what you love. However, this world needs responsible people to take action. Otherwise, if everyone seeks a mundane life, who will govern the country and manage the livelihoods?"

Lucy gently sighed and said, "Ambitious people will handle these things."

"Ha-ha, it seems you really are not ambitious."

"I’m a woman; what need do I have for ambition? I don’t want to be Wu Zetian; I just want to be an ordinary woman, find a man to love and cherish me." Lucy said while looking at James, who caught her gaze, causing her to lower her head again.

James cracked a smile. Did Lucy just confess to him?

Plus, he wasn’t sure how to respond to this topic. Initially, he planned to confront Lucy openly tonight, but seeing her melancholic mood, worn out by various troubles, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. So, he decided to remain friends for now.

Turning towards the sea, James suddenly stood up and said, "They’ve swum too far; I’m going to check on them."

Lucy also noticed they had swum too far and quickly said, "Go check on them; those three girls sometimes don’t realize the depth."

James swam quickly in that direction. Before getting far, Linda Smith suddenly shouted, "Oh no, my leg cramps!"

The three were having a lot of fun and hadn’t realized how far they had swum. Feeling the cramp, they wanted to stand up only to find they couldn’t touch the bottom. They were already in deep waters.

Lily Fisher and Lyndia Miller panicked, hearing Linda’s cry. James immediately shouted, "Don’t panic. Lily, Lyndia, support Linda. Linda, stay calm and don’t struggle; I’m coming!"

Lily and Lyndia saw James swimming rapidly towards them like a fish, leaving only a white line on the surface. Initially, they were extremely frightened, but now found courage, hurriedly grabbing Linda’s hands from both sides.

Linda’s leg was cramping, but she often swam, so she wasn’t completely panicked. Her other foot paddled slowly, temporarily avoiding any major issues.

In an instant, James swam over, and the three felt immense relief. James told Linda, "Emily, adjust your leg. The cramp will soon subside."

Linda nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Brother-in-law."

John Brown dove into the water, the water here was still very clear, and he could clearly see the thighs of the three women in the water. Watching these beautiful legs made John Brown’s eyes heat up a bit, but he didn’t dare to think too much and quickly grabbed Emily Smith’s cramped left foot, pulling it up forcefully a few times.

This method of treating cramps was extremely effective, and by the time John Brown surfaced, Emily’s cramp symptoms had already subsided.

"Brother-in-law, thank you." Emily Smith stuck out her tongue at John Brown.

John Brown smiled and said, "No need to thank me, it’s fine now, hurry up and get ashore, let’s get some barbecue to eat." John Brown chuckled.

Just as they were about to swim towards the shore, John Brown, before turning around, saw something like a sail on the surface of the sea speeding towards them, cutting through the water.

John Brown was suddenly startled. That was clearly a shark’s dorsal fin, and judging by the size of that fin, it was definitely quite a big shark.

"Swim to the shore quickly! There’s a shark!" John Brown shouted loudly, grabbing Lily Fisher and Lyndia Miller’s hands with each hand and throwing them over ten meters behind him. Then he immediately hugged Emily Smith’s waist and tossed her over ten meters away as well.

John Brown’s swimming speed was indeed quite fast, but that was only compared to other people. When matched against the ocean’s ruler, the shark, it was like heaven and earth in comparison. Although they were not too far from the shore, it was completely impossible to avoid the shark before reaching the shallow waters.

So, John Brown made a quick decision, immediately tossing out the three women first. This way, they were farther from the shark, and he had to face the shark alone.

Lily Fisher and Lyndia Miller were tossed out one by one by John Brown. Their bodies felt like they were soaring through the clouds, all three of them screamed incessantly. They didn’t understand what John Brown had shouted earlier, nor did they understand why he did this.

In mid-air, they couldn’t control their bodies, watching themselves fly over more than ten meters before plunging into the sea. However, they were somewhat prepared before hitting the water, and John Brown’s throws were very skillful, so they didn’t experience much impact and soon came up to the surface.

After surfacing, they were still a bit dazed, shaking their heads, they all looked in John Brown’s direction. John Brown was also swimming towards them, shouting again, "Hurry back, the shark is coming."

"Brother-in-law, are you kidding? How could there be a shark here?" Emily Smith was the first to disbelieve and called out immediately.

Lily Fisher chuckled at this time and said, "This game is not bad, let’s play it again. It was so exciting, throw us again, no need to make such excuses."

Lyndia Miller’s face turned pale as she pointed behind John Brown, stammering, "It seems... seems... there’s really a shark."

"Lyndia, why are you also..." Lily Fisher laughed, but as she followed the direction Lyndia was pointing, her smile froze on her face, and her face turned pale instantly.

Emily Smith screamed, "Run!" and immediately turned to swim fiercely towards the shore.

Lily Fisher and Lyndia Miller came to their senses and exerted all their strength to follow behind Emily Smith. In the face of life and death, the three of them suddenly exploded with astonishing potential, their speed seeming to rival that of swimming champions.

When Emily’s foot cramped, Lucy Campbell was nervously watching the situation in the sea. Although she couldn’t see the specific situation, she suddenly saw John Brown toss the three out, then shouted about a shark, making her gasp in shock and instinctively rush towards the sea.

Lucy Campbell was always a very intelligent woman, known for her calmness when encountering situations. Just like last time when she and John Brown were attacked in the jungle; even facing numerous ruthless armed hitmen, she could deal with it with a smile.

Usually, she had absolute confidence in John Brown; even when faced with those powerful hitmen, she didn’t worry, fully believing that John Brown could handle it with ease. But today, they were facing a shark, the ocean’s ruler. She was scared John Brown couldn’t handle it.

Today, she really lost her cool and made a very unwise choice, rushing towards John Brown. Once in the sea, she desperately swam towards John Brown’s direction.

But before Lucy Campbell reached the shallow waters, a huge splash suddenly appeared on the water’s surface. An enormous creature suddenly emerged from the water, with a blue back and a white belly. Although it couldn’t be seen whether it was a great white shark, its size definitely was not less than five meters. And above that big shark was John Brown, seemingly thrown out of the water by the shark.

"No!" Lucy Campbell screamed in horror, and then everything went black as she fainted. freewebnσvel.cѳm
