Chapter 393: Leisure Mode, Fishing

Then, Chen Zhao asked for some of the electrical appliances to be moved into the house. He spent the entire afternoon talking to people regarding his new home.

In the evening, Laurent, Kane, Karim, and Howard came back.

They were carrying a giant catfish that weighed over 50 kilograms, which looked really awesome.

“Chen, look at what we’ve caught.” Laurent flexed proudly in front of Chen Zhao.

“Isn’t it just a big catfish? Look at how happy you are.”

“Go and fish one too, if you can,” Laurent immediately taunted.

Chen Zhao twitched his lips. He would not go fishing because of such an inferior taunt.

Soon, Winnip, Fali, and Faur returned one after another.

When Laurent saw them, he incessantly showed off to them what he had gained.

Unfortunately, just like Chen Zhao, none of them was slightly excited about it.

Laurent was very much displeased by their perfunctory tone.

Nevertheless, everyone relished the barbecue.

Unlike mammalian meat, which would become tougher as the mammal ages, fish would only become more tender.

“Winnip, Fali and I plan to go back the day after tomorrow.”

“So soon? Why don’t you stay for a few more days?”

“I don’t think so. Our new house is more or less completed. We need to go and sort things out.”

“Alright.”

“Dad, Mom, when will you come to Los Angeles again?”

“Ask your Mom. I’m free every day,” Laurent said.

“Dad, I welcome you to come alone too,” Fali said.

Laurent glanced at Chen Zhao and sneered.

If he were to go to Los Angeles by himself, he would surely be killed by Chen Zhao.

He was not stupid enough to run into a tiger’s mouth.

...

In their final day here, Fali and Faur activated their shopping frenzy.

On the other hand, Chen Zhao entered a rest mode. Lying down was perhaps the greatest happiness he could receive.

But things just would not go as planned...

Bump, bump...

Chen Zhao opened his eyes and realized that Laurent was kicking the lounge chair.

“What?” Chen Zhao asked.

“Look at the lovely weather. Let’s go fishing.” Chen Zhao was really annoyed by this childish father-in-law.

“No.” Chen Zhao was convinced that as long as he ignored Laurent, Laurent’s plots would not succeed.

“Don’t be stubborn. Let’s go. I can’t leave you here alone.”

Who needs your sympathy?

Chen Zhao did not even want to give a reply. “Stop pestering me.”

Just as he closed his eyes, he suddenly felt some pain in his arm.

Opening his eyes, Chen Zhao realized that Laurent was standing at the back of the small truck, hooking him with the fish hook.

“Laurent, do you really want to die?”

“Come and hit me if you can!” Laurent shouted in satisfaction. “Kane, drive.”

However, the truck did not move.

“Kane, did the bullet destroy your intelligence? Quickly drive...”

“Mr. Laurent, did you forget to refuel the truck?”

“...”

Laurent watched as the enraged demon walked toward him. He immediately smiled in fear. “Chen, I was just joking. Don’t take it seriously.”

“Chen, let’s go fishing. It’s so boring to stay at home alone.”

“Yeah, let’s go. Fishing is actually quite interesting,” Karim and Howard also persuaded.

Chen Zhao thought about it. Unable to reject their coaxing, Chen Zhao eventually jumped onto the back of the truck.

Two kilometers away from the farm, there was a turbulent, fast-flowing river that was more than twenty meters wide.

When the group alighted from the truck, there were already a few people fishing by the river.

“Laurent, why are you here again?” an old man said with a mocking tone.

“Why can’t I be here?” Laurent really wanted to ignore the old man.

“Laurent, did something happen?” Chen Zhao asked softly.

Although he hated Laurent, it was only their family business.

Chen Zhao would not deliberately embarrass Laurent outside.

“Nothing.” Laurent did not want to tell Chen Zhao about it.

“Yesterday, the four of you did not succeed. Do you think you can make it with an Asian shorty? Ha...”

Chen Zhao glanced at the three bodyguards. They all turned their heads away and kept silent.

Suddenly, the old man who had just mocked Laurent leaned forward and fell onto the ground. With his fishing line taut, he was soon dragged into the water.

The people around him quickly rushed into the river and pulled him out.

Cough, cough!

“Haha... Powell, looks like you’re not doing much better than me. Haha...” Laurent laughed loudly.

Chen Zhao frowned. Something had just dragged the old man into the river.

“What’s in the river?” Chen Zhao asked.

“A monster,” Laurent said.

“Actually, Laurent asked you here because he wants us to fish the monster together,” Kane said.

“Yesterday, all four of us were dragged into the water.”

“Shouldn’t the fishing rod break first?” Chen Zhao asked in surprise.

“This fishing rod is meant to be used at sea. Even the biggest swordfish can’t break it,” Laurent said.

“What fish is in the river?”

“An enormous catfish, estimated to be over 3.5 meters in length,” Laurent said.

Chen Zhao gasped, “A 3.5 meters catfish?”

The largest catfish that had been caught was 2.7 meters long and 300 kilograms heavy.

What would a 3.5 meter-long catfish look like?

Let’s compare it to Princess. Before Princess demonized, she was about 3 meters tall and 500 kilograms heavy. After becoming a demon, she was now 3.5 meters tall and about 1000 kilograms heavy.

Her weight roughly doubled. The weight of a catfish should grow at approximately the same rate too as its length increased.

Hence, the catfish would very likely weigh over 500 kilograms.

It was no wonder that Laurent, Kane, Karim and Howard would be dragged into the water all at once.

So Laurent had been trying so hard to bring Chen Zhao here in order to deal with the gargantuan catfish.

Of course, although the four of them had been dragged into the river the day before, Kane was still recovering and could not use too much strength.

Chen Zhao was interested as well. “But are you sure that it will definitely bite the bait?”

“Dunno, depends on your luck. It’s very cunning and will hide in the aquatic grass to observe the fishers. If there are too many people, it will not take the bait.”

“Then I’ll fish it myself. Don’t stand beside me.”

“Don’t force yourself. It’s not something that a single person can handle,” Laurent said.

“I’m not as weak as the four of you.” Chen Zhao was not kind at all.
