"Note: The host has received an increase in mental strength and physical strength. His physique has already undergone some changes. His mental strength and his physical strength are both 5% stronger than an ordinary person's."
Firstly, after completing the mission, his level had also risen to Grade D. The most obvious thing was that his lifespan had increased by half a year and he had also obtained the power of a water ghost which allowed him to move in the water.
'Hehe! Then does that mean I am now a mermaid?'
Brian laughed!
Although this trip was not smooth at first, the result was pretty good.
The days that he had been counting down suddenly increased by another half a year. He felt like a penniless beggar who suddenly become a billionaire.
Brian thought and laughed to himself.
"Oh! My dear friend, what are you laughing at? Are you sure you don't want to share such a funny thing with me?"
Brian was stunned when he heard a familiar voice. Then, he returned to his annoying self.
He jumped out of the boat and squeezed the water from his clothes as he walked towards his car.
"Dear lady in high heels, handsome Brian still has something to do. I've saved them, there's no need to thank me. Tomorrow, I'll invite you to the castle to watch some imported movies."
Who wants to watch a movie with you? Speaking of which, what did you sing just now? Don't you want to explain it to me?
"This is a live broadcast. Mr. Brian, do you have anything to say?"
Celia's eyes lit up when he saw the camera equipment, and he stopped Brian, who was about to leave.
"You… What's going on? Tell me!"
Initially, she had thought that she would interrogate him properly after this fellow came up. However, when she really came face to face with him, all those words were thrown to the back of her mind.
Nick raised the camera and gave Brian a close-up after hearing what Celia said.
Brian appeared nonchalant in the magnified camera.
"Oh! Your men were entangled by the seaweed underwater. I simply cleaned up the seaweed when a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared and flushed them up."
"What else?"
"That's all!"
Brian spread his hands.
Was that really the case? Everyone expressed their doubts.
If they opened up the bullet screen of the live-stream, they would see question marks all over the screen.
Even a fool would not believe such a reason. Of course, Celia would not believe it either.
"Are you sure, Mr. Brian?"
"Yes! I'm very sure!"
"What about the so-called water ghosts?" Celia asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
The water monsters in the news had been causing fear in Gro City. The person closest to the water ghost could only be Brian who went into the water to save them. Was there a water ghost?
What did the water ghost look like? It had become the focus of everyone's attention.
"The water ghost has already been subdued by this handsome man's domineering aura. From now on, it won't come out to harm anyone. Please rest assured!"
Under everyone's gaze, Brian made a victory gesture and coolly got into his beloved car.
Actually, Brian did not lie. He just hid part of the truth.
Firstly, he had indeed cleaned up the seaweed. Secondly, a huge whirlpool wave had flushed those people up. However, he did not mention that he had beaten up the water ghost and used the power of the water ghost to control the water flow to create a phenomenon.
Since the mission was completed, it was time for him to leave.
"I'm not lying, yes! Handsome Brian doesn't lie, hehe!"
With that, he turned around dashingly and drove off.
The cameraman turned on the live-stream's bullet screen and all sorts of comments appeared.
"Hey! May I ask if everyone thinks that the water ghost really exists? Was the vortex phenomenon that happened tonight caused by the water ghost?"
"Personally, I think it should be an artificial effect or an illusion created by a high-powered machine. I already know the general principles behind it, so I can do a live-stream demonstration tomorrow."
"Nonsense. Mr. Brian is a member of our Red Fire Paranormal Team. We're used to these supernatural things. There are pictures and the truth!"
"Miss Celia, what do you think of today's incident? Is it convenient for you to answer?"
At the cameraman's signal, Celia forced a smile.
"I'm just as curious about what happened today as everyone else, but I can't give everyone a real answer because I didn't see the water ghost with my own eyes."
Seeing that Brian ignored her after returning, Celia was not in the mood to continue the live stream. She looked at the distant car and fell into deep thought.
"In that case, if there is time later, I will continue to follow up on this matter. Let's meet again next time!"
Before anyone could react.
Celia hurriedly closed the livestream.
At this point, the sensational live broadcast of the water ghost ended.
Brian, who had left, did not know that his actions today had been quickly spread through the live broadcast.
Not long after, the Water Ghost incident started to spread rapidly on the Internet. Soon, it swept through the entire Gro City and even the entire Bran Empire.
Brian's name began to appear in major news articles and magazines, and it was definitely on the front page.
At this moment, the protagonist who had caused this storm was happily taking a hot bath at home, humming a song he created today.
"Hey! My friend, you've become an internet celebrity now. Your heroic appearance is simply too handsome."
Brian came out with a towel draped over his shoulders. Jesse, who was in the living room, went to him. He opened his mouth like a loaded machine gun.
"Friend, how did you do it? Is the water ghost a ferocious monster that drinks human blood? By the way, tell me more about how you subdued the water ghost and successfully rescued everyone underwater."
Jesse kept talking and Brian listened quietly.
For one thing, he did not know where to start and for another, the rhythm of Jesse's rapping did not give him a chance to interject.
Even if he did not get a response, Jesse still spoke passionately.
"My friend, you're right. A water ghost is not scary because I, Brian, am its ancestor!"
Brian smiled at the memory of the water ghost being flattened in pain.
"Oh! Brian, are you serious?"
"Yes! My friend, handsome Brian never lies to his friends."
Hearing this, Jesse rushed out of the door as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Oh my god! What the Internet said is true. My friend Brian is really the ancestor of angels…"
"This is too exciting! I want to share this important news with you and my family. They will definitely be shocked!"
Watching Jesse leave excitedly, Brian rubbed his nose resentfully.
"Did I say 'angel'? I didn't, did I? Yes, Jesse heard it wrong himself. It's none of my business—"
