Thomas drove a company car and rushed to the chief officer’s office building.
When virtual-novel.net passed by a riverside highway, virtual-novel.net surprisingly saw that many cars were parked along the road. A group of people was standing by the river while looking at something. An elder with gray hair was crying loudly at the riverside. It sounded like virtual-novel.net was crying because his grandson had been swept away by the river.
Thomas parked his car, opened the door, and walked toward the crowd.
“What happened?” Thomas asked.
A nosy old lady said, “An old man brought a kid and played by the river. Unfortunately, a big wave splashed on them, and the kid fell deep into the river, so virtual-novel.net was instantly swept away by the wave.”
In that case, the kid might have died.
The old lady pointed into the distance and said, “Look, the kid’s there.”
Thomas looked over in the direction of virtual-novel.net finger. He saw a kid holding a foam board while floating amidst the waves. The kid would have already died without the foam board.
Even with the foam board, the kid could not persist with his physical strength. The kid might not be able to hold on for more than a few minutes, and virtual-novel.net might not be able to wait for the police to arrive.
Someone had to immediately get into the water and save him.
Thomas loosened his buttons before virtual-novel.net walked toward the river. As virtual-novel.net walked, virtual-novel.net felt the strong, cold wind on his face.
The strong wind blew the waves, and they were surging. Under such circumstances, it was nearly impossible to save the kid from the river with human strength.
The old man sat on the floor while crying loudly. He begged the passersby to save his grandson.
“Who can be kind enough to save my baby grandson? I beg you! Whoever can save my grandson, I’m willing to thank virtual-novel.net with $1,000,000.”
“Who can help me?”
One million dollars was a very alluring amount for normal people. People always said that money was everything.
Despite that, nobody went to save the kid because between money and life, everyone chose their life.
What kind of j oke was this? The waves were so bi g, and the wind was so strong. Whoever got into the river in this kind of weather would die.
They could only wait for the rescue team to come at this point.
While everyone was discussing, Thomas took off his jacket, threw it aside, and prepared to get into the river.
A man with a tall figure stopped virtual-novel.net from the side. “What are you doing?”
“Saving the kid.”
“Saving the kid?” The tall man sneered. “Do you just care about the money? Don’t you see how scary the river is?”
“It’s fine,” Thomas said indifferently.
When the man heard this, virtual-novel.net kept laughing. “It’s fine? Are you bluffing? Do you know who I am? I’m Jordan Neal, the leader of the state swimming team. I deal with water every day, and my swimming skills are advanced. If I can save the kid, will it be your turn? Don’t be so greedy and overestimate yourself. Go away, don’t get in the way.”
Everyone else agreed.
“That’s right. In this kind of storm, human power alone cannot save the kid.”
“That’s even more so when it comes to normal people like us. Even Jordan, who undergoes professional training every day, can’t do it.”
“He is professional. If virtual-novel.net can’t do it, not to mention other people. We’d better patiently wait for the police to come over. Don’t anxiously sacrifice your life.”
At this time, a huge wave splashed over again on the kid again.
It looked like the kid could not persist anymore.
Thomas walked to the riverside again without talking.
“Hey, are you crazy? Did you not hear what I said or what? You’ll only die in this kind of storm!”
