A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
By the azure swimming pool of the seaside resort, Jiang He lay on a beach lounger, his hands behind his head, gazing at the distant seascape with a relaxed air. He sighed contentedly, "This is the life."
Unlike before, the villas at this seaside resort had private pools, offering a high vantage point overlooking the fishing beach, the rocky shores, and the sea.
Of course, the most important thing was that he was here with his domineering wife, Ju Jian Hui...
At that moment, Jiang He heard the faint sound of footsteps approaching from the side.
Turning his head, he saw Ju Jian Hui walking towards him, wearing a red and green swimsuit. She blushed slightly, averting her gaze as she sat down on a white beach chair next to him.
"Uh... you look beautiful," Jiang He said, his eyes sparkling with admiration, before quickly clearing his throat.
This woman was impossibly elegant!
The somewhat old-fashioned red and green swimsuit looked stunning on her.
"Pfft," Ju Jian Hui couldn't help but chuckle, glancing at him with amusement before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. She joined him in gazing at the distant beach and the rocks beyond the pool.
She said playfully, "I heard that Team Member Dagu wants to learn about monsters from you. Don't you think this "trade" is a bit of a loss for you?"
After all, if TPC didn't understand monsters, they would consult Jiang He and pay a hefty sum in exchange for information.
But if Dagu learned about some monsters, even just two or three, wouldn't that mean three fewer substantial payments?
Compared to the previous seaside vacation voucher, three TPC payments were obviously much more valuable.
Ju Jian Hui wasn't actually worried about their family losing out. She was very much in favor of finding solutions to the danger posed by monsters.
Moreover, having capable teammates meant she would have an easier time at work.
She asked this question simply to tease her husband.
This devious guy was usually so cunning and nonchalant. What would his amusing expression be if he suddenly realized he was at a disadvantage?
However, to Ju Jian Hui's surprise, Jiang He simply shook his head with a sorrowful and sympathetic expression, "It's okay to take a little loss. It's all for the good of dealing with monsters, and besides, who wouldn't want their wife to be the captain of the Victory Team? As a family member, I have to be mindful too."
Seeing his sincere and deeply affected expression, Ju Jian Hui was momentarily stunned, a warm feeling of affection welling up in her eyes.
Of course, there was also a hint of strange suspicion.
It wasn't that she doubted her husband's character.
It had been a little over a month since they got married, and she had gradually learned more about Jiang He.
Although he wasn't a bad guy, and she was absolutely sure that he would be content with her taking a slightly lower payment, this deeply sympathetic expression and words seemed completely out of character for this shameless man.
Especially since this guy was always so full of tricks...
In reality, Jiang He wasn't worried at all about losing out.
Because only he knew that Dagu's claim of wanting to learn monster knowledge from him was just an excuse.
This kid actually wanted him to give him some more pointers on fighting techniques.
It had nothing to do with monster knowledge.
If anything, these fighting techniques would be used to deal with monsters.
And his monster knowledge? It was just knowing the plot. There was no way Dagu could learn that.
But he obviously wouldn't say that.
"If you're moved by my words, I wouldn't mind a kiss from my wife," Jiang He said with a raised eyebrow.
Seeing his expression, Ju Jian Hui couldn't help but smile, her lips slightly parted. After a moment of hesitation, she kissed him on the cheek.
Jiang He smiled with satisfaction, his trick had worked.
"Hey, what is that...? " At that moment, Ju Jian Hui suddenly looked towards the area outside the pool.
Jiang He's heart skipped a beat, and he followed her gaze. He saw a Victory Team's yellow Sherlock car slowly pull up in front of a seaside research center in the distance. Two people got out of the car.
One was a short-haired woman wearing a Victory Team uniform, and the other was a woman in a medical uniform with her hair tied in a ponytail. They carried a box and entered the research center.
"Rina and Mayumi, are they at the seaside research center because something happened?" Ju Jian Hui asked, slightly confused.
"They probably just discovered some minor anomaly. If they had actually found traces of a monster or something like that, they would have reported it to you or consulted me long ago," Jiang He said, having already guessed what was going on.
It was simply a matter of examining a mutant fish species.
While it was the catalyst for the appearance of the sea monster, it wasn't time yet.
He was gradually getting used to the situation where monsters appeared while he was on vacation. It was like a spice in his vacation.
Especially since he wasn't planning on transforming and fighting this time. He had just gotten Dagu's vacation voucher, so this would be a good opportunity to bleed him dry...cough, to mentor him.
And, he would also take the opportunity to test the strength of his newly fused monster, the Water King, Aire King.
Ultraman and a group of monsters ganging up on another monster? That's called righteous group assault...
