Demons Beside You

chapter-237
They were extremely fast, indeed much faster than the other lifeguards.
Even the fastest sprinter probably could not reach their speed. The three of them leaped into the sea directly.
Perry and his wife Ackley had come to Angel Beach in search of the legendary killer whale Amon.
Their kids, five-year-old Jac and eight-year-old Ashe, really wanted to meet Amon.
Therefore, they rented a kayak and set sail. After they left the shallow zone, however, a huge wave turned their kayak over.Perry was the only one in the family who could swim. In his panic, he saw Ackley struggling on the surface of the sea.
Perry immediately swam over to save his wife.
However, Ackley grabbed onto Perry in fear, dragging him into the water too.
“Ackley… calm down… calm down… barf…”
Perry was not a very good swimmer himself. The raging currents and his wife made the situation worse.
To his further dismay, he could not see his kids.
Cough, cough…Perry swallowed another mouthful of seawater. “Ackley, calm down!”
Suddenly, he saw a black shadow approach him from the distance.
Perry was first shocked out of his wits, thinking that it was some kind of sea monster. When the shadow came closer, he realized that it was a giant dog.
No, in fact, there were three dogs.
Walter was the fastest swimmer among the three. He was the first to reach Perry and Ackley.
Woof!
Walter barked at Perry and Ackley, who held onto him at once. Apart from his unusually large body, Walter was also wearing a dog life jacket, so he could withstand the weight of two more humans.
“Wait… Don’t leave… My son and daughter are still here…” Perry shouted.
Woof!
Walter barked at Black-Ma and White-Ma. They immediately disappeared into the sea, as if they were fish.
After a while, they resurfaced again, each carrying a kid on their back.
The two children had been struggling in the sea for less than a minute, so they were more or less uninjured. Very soon, they woke up. Realizing that they were sitting on Black-Ma and White-Ma, they were energized right away.
By then, the other lifeguards also arrived. One of them approached Black-Ma, wanting to carry Jac off his back.
After all, Black-Ma and White-Ma were not wearing life jackets. The lifeguards were worried that the kids were too heavy for them.
However, Jac placed his arms firmly around Black-Ma’s neck and shouted, “No! I’m not coming down. Doggy will protect me.”
The lifeguard was speechless. He stayed close to Black-Ma as they swam back.
Finally, Black-Ma and White-Ma reached the shore. The kids on their backs were still unwilling to leave.
The tourists around them took out their phones and recorded the scene.
“Mom, I want to ride the big dog too,” an innocent child said, pointing at White-Ma and Black-Ma.
To be honest, Black-Ma and White-Ma were really quite attractive. Despite being fools on the inside, they were still two cool and proud wolves.
Perry and Ackley finally carried their children from the Silly Twins. The two kids were still pretty hesitant.
However, more children had already pounced on the Silly Twins, fighting to go onto their backs.
Given that the Silly Twins had just saved two drowning kids, the tourists all believed that these two huge dogs would not harm their own children.
While Walter was not as popular as the Silly Twins, he was liked by many as well.
However, Walter was clearly more loyal to his duty. He continued to lie below the lifeguard stand and stare attentively at the sea, protecting the safety of the tourists.
Black-Ma and White-Ma, on the other hand, were drowning in the happiness of their pay-to-photo mode. Fali had even written on their money buckets the line “Please pay to take a photo.”
Both adults and children alike were more than willing to take a photo with the two giant dogs.
Many children liked to climb onto their backs for a knight experience.
More unbelievably, the Silly Twins actually caught a thief on the beach.
There were always bad guys on the beach. They would target those tourists who were sunbathing with their wallets and phones not too close to them.
When Black-Ma and White-Ma saw the thief, they leaped onto him and pressed him onto the ground.
By the time Fali brought Black-Ma, White-Ma and Walter home, Chen Zhao was already back.
Chen Zhao was preparing dinner. He saw the Silly Twins and the buckets around their necks.
“Huh? Looks like you’ve had a rewarding day. That’s a lot of notes,” Chen Zhao said as he stir-fried a dish.
Normally, the Silly Twins would receive mostly coins. Even if their buckets were filled to the brim, it might only be ten or twenty dollars.
However, Chen Zhao realized that this time, there were many notes in their buckets. There were one dollar notes and even ten dollar notes.
“They found a way to earn money,” Fali said, smiling.
“What?”
“Taking photos with kids on their backs. At least one dollar per photo.”
“Did you come up with this?”
“They did. They saved two kids today who rode on their backs. After that, almost all the kids on the beach followed them for the whole afternoon.”
“Go and shower. It’s about dinner time.” Chen Zhao was not saying this to Fali, but rather to Walter and the Silly Twins. He had been showering with Fali.
When Chen Zhao brought the dishes to the dining room, his phone rang.
It was Mr. Doman. Chen Zhao picked it up. “Hi, Mr. Doman.”
“Mr. Chen, we’ve finished appraising your items. I’m sending you the report. According to our estimation, their values should be about 20% higher than what I told you.”
“Sure, thank you. Please deduct the appraisal fees from the sale of the items.”
“Of course. By the way, can you come over tomorrow?”
“Didn’t we sign the contract already? Do I need to sign it again?”
“No, it’s for Normans.”
“What happened?”
“She’s already done her skin tightening surgery, but her body’s now covered in scars. She’s been complaining that if she knew about it earlier, she would not have lost weight.”
“Mr. Doman, what do you need me to do?”
“Help me to comfort Normans. If possible, I hope that you can remove the scars on her body.”
“I suggested it to Normans that day, but she rejected.”
“I believe she’ll accept it now,” Mr. Doman said.
“Okay. I’ll be there tomorrow.”
