“Chen, take me to see Amon now.” Winnip looked seriously at Chen Zhao.
“Uh…” Chen Zhao glanced at Fali.
“Go. Be careful.” Fali trusted Chen Zhao.
“You’re not coming?” Chen Zhao asked her.
She’d interacted with Amon when they fought with the Mexican gang, so they weren’t strangers.
“Okay, I’ll go too.”
Chen Zhao and Fali were there, but they still made Winnip put on a life vest. The three rode out to sea in a kayak. A while later, Amon appeared.
When the huge head poked out of the water, Winnip was still a bit frightened. After all, the huge mouth could swallow her.
“It won’t bite, right?”
“It won’t,” Chen Zhao promised.
“What does it eat?” Winnip wanted to feed Amon.
Chen Zhao was speechless, thinking, Dear mother-in-law, we didn’t bring anything. Other than yourself, you have nothing to feed him with.
Still, Chen Zhao let Winnip ride Amon and go out on a few spins.
“Fali, you won’t go on?”
“Nope. There’ll be more chances, right?”
“Of course. You can go on at any time.” Chen Zhao lay in the kayak, hugging Fali.
Right now, Winnip was like a young girl. She rode the waves while yelling happily. After a leap, Winnip finally came off of Amon with satisfaction.
Chen Zhao went into the water to feed Amon a demonic crystal and dragon meat.
Returning to the kayak, Winnip was still excited. She couldn’t calm down.
“Chen, if you can help me train a killer whale, I’ll let you take Fali.”
“Mom, I’m only worth one killer whale?”
“Oh, then how about two?”
Okay, this queen was a bit funny.
After returning to land, Winnip grabbed Laurent and kept talking about her time with Amon.
Laurent and Chen Zhao had a tacit understanding not to mention things that could hurt each other.
The video of Chen Zhao, Laurent and the others riding Amon once again went viral online. Different from the unclear video from that night, Chen Zhao and the others’ faces were finally shown.
…
Ronnie, Vera, and Faith were playing in the grass. Laffer sat there, letting the kids rest against it.
Laffer wasn’t as smart as Black Ma and White Ma, but it was still loyal.
“Faith, Faith, is that Uncle Chen?” Ronnie grabbed Faith. She held a tablet and pointed with her chubby fingers.
Faith studied the screen. “Yeah, that’s Uncle Chen.”
“His fish is so big.”
“I wanna play with a big fish too.”
Just then, Risfar and Lora walked out. Ronnie ran over with the tablet.
“Mom, Dad, I wanna go play at Uncle Chen’s house. He has a big fish.”
“What big fish?”
“Look at the big fish.”
Risfar and Lora accepted the tablet with suspicion. “This can’t be Chen’s pet too, right?”
“Don’t know. Maybe it’s a wild killer whale?”
“Mom, Dad, can we get a big fish too?”
Risfar had a headache. This type of fish couldn’t be raised so easily.
“Daddy, you won’t do it? You don’t love me anymore?”
Risfar’s headache grew worse. This girl was a drama queen.
“Should we ask Chen?”
“But…that’s a killer whale… If anything happens…” Risfar wasn’t really willing.
Going to watch a performance at the aquarium was one thing. Letting his daughter get close with a killer whale was something else altogether.
“I think Chen should have his own judgment. If he thinks it’s dangerous, he won’t agree.” Ever since Chen Zhao cured Lora, she became very trusting of him.
“I’ll ask Dell.” Risfar called Dell immediately. “Dell, I have a question. Do you know if Chen has a killer whale as a pet?”
“Oh, you mean Amon? I know. I asked him so many times for me to see Amon, but he won’t let me.”
“That killer whale is called Amon?”
“You haven’t seen the video? Half a month ago, he and his friends ran into a Mexican gang out at sea. Amon saved them. Apparently, this is the biggest killer whale known to humanity now. I have no clue how Chen trained it.”
“Right now, your daughter and my daughters all want to go see Amon or have us raise a killer whale too. I have a headache.”
“How about we go and eat dinner at Chen’s with the kids today?”
“You call him to prepare more dinner. Else there won’t be enough food.”
…
“Chen, me, Johnny, Lora, and our kids want to eat dinner at your place tonight. Is that okay?”
“Sure. Fali’s parents are here too. Oh, bring some groceries. We might not have enough.”
After notifying Risfar, they raced over to Chen Zhao’s home. Risfar took two bottles of red wine from his wine cabinet.
Seeing everyone here, Chen Zhao first hugged Lora affectionately. “Lora, how have you been these days?”
“I’ve been great. Thank you, Chen.”
“Chen, I brought some wine.”
“These aren’t million-dollar bottles again, right?” Chen Zhao was still heartbroken over the last bottle.
“Don’t worry. These are only a few ten thousand.”
A few ten thousand dollars was already a lot. Chen Zhao led everyone inside.
Seeing that Chen Zhao had guests, Laurent didn’t embarrass him. He didn’t like Chen Zhao, but he wouldn’t cause trouble in front of outsiders.
The three kids went straight for Black Ma, White Ma, and Obitos.
“I’m a dragon knight, rawr…” Faith yelled, sitting on Obitos.
“I’m the white wolf knight.”
“I’m the black wolf knight.”
There were too many people here tonight. Chen Zhao had Kane, Karim and Howard set up two grills in the yard.
Risfar, Dell, and Laurent stood by the grill. They chatted while barbecuing. Lora, Fali, and Winnip sat by the pool to talk.
Just then, Faith came over on Obitos.
“Uncle Chen, where’s the big fish? Where is it? Why don’t I see it?”
“What big fish?” Chen Zhao had no clue.
“That really, really big black and white one!”
“Faith is talking about Amon,” Dell said. “That killer whale.”
“I rode Amon today,” Winnip said. “It was so fun. Chen brought me. I never imagined that there could be such an obedient killer whale. It’s much more obedient and smarter than the ones in the aquarium.”
Faith, Ronnie, and Vera stared at Chen Zhao with puppy eyes.
