Chapter 1307: Deal
“Uhh, erm, this is for sitting, not squatting.” As Liu Yi said this, he darted into his seat as well.
Muir was stunned. Only then did he understand that the narrow gap in front was for placing one’s legs. He imitated Liu Yi’s posture and felt a lot more comfortable.
Liu Yi wiped the sweat off his forehead, suddenly wondering if this was a smart move.
“We haven’t introduced ourselves. I’m Liu Yi, a national swimming coach. How do I address you?”
Muir thought to himself that this guy was very long-winded and gave a simple reply, “Muir.”
“Oh, your surname is Mu? It’s a rare one.” Liu Yi smiled. He then saw from the rearview mirror that Muir wasn’t interested in talking, and thus stopped.
The black sedan drove all the way out of the suburbs, entered the congested roads, and eventually stopped at the entrance of the swimming training facility.
The training facility was packed, with a blue pool taking up a large part of the training hall. Even the scent of disinfectant could be smelled in the air.
Liu Yi led Muir in while introducing, “This is where I work. Go down and swim one lap. If you can do that, not only can I bring you back to China, you’ll also get a huge reward and great glory.”
Muir’s brows furrowed even tighter together, so much so that they’d almost be able to clamp a fly to death.
Telling an eagle beastman to swim? Was this a joke?
He clenched his teeth, steeled his heart, and thought: For Qingqing, I’ll go all out!
Liu Yi had wanted to bring him to change into swimming trunks when he saw him taking huge strides toward the pool.
“Hey, who are you?” A swimming coach standing next to the pool immediately tried to stop Muir after seeing his strange dressing.
Liu Yi understood Muir’s cold nature by now and wasn’t sure how he’d react. He quickly said, “I brought him here.”
That coach immediately made way, but Muir didn’t walk over. He was still more than one meter away from the pool when he leaped.
From that height, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it flying.
Many people didn’t notice this side and only caught a glimpse from the corner of their eyes. That quick glance was enough to give them great astonishment. All of them felt as if they had transmigrated to the training facility for high jumps or long jumps.
The entire training hall fell quiet, and only the sound of gasps could be heard.
Birds had extremely powerful jumps, and Muir’s casual jump caused him to enter the water over two meters from the edge.
“Splash!”
The greatest splash in history splattered out, and all the water in the pool shook intensely.
The sound of this splash brought everyone back to their senses. Their gazes immediately moved together with the athlete in the water.
Muir swung his long arms, and his body, which was half afloat in the water, darted out like a speedboat.
When Muir set off, many athletes had already swum to the center of the pool. By the time he arrived at the destination, those people were only slowly arriving.
With this speed, they wouldn’t lose the gold medal as long as he took part in the competition!
Liu Yi’s heart palpitated as he quickly ran to the other side of the pool and looked at Muir, so agitated that his face turned red.
“Come with me!”
Muir didn’t have any sense of achievement winning against these frail life forms. He had even restrained his true capabilities in order not to stand out too much.
“Can we make a deal?” Muir asked in an aloof tone.
“Yes, of course we can. You can go anywhere you want. I’ll make arrangements for you to take part in the competition right away!” Liu Yi’s eyes gleamed. No matter what price he had to pay, he was going to support this athlete!
Liu Yi made use of all of his connections to create a legal identity for Muir, then entered him into the competition. All they had to do now was to wait for the competition to begin and get the gold medal.
