Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 172 She Just Won’t Listen

Blake whipped his head around. The voice was loud and shrill, but he did not see anyone around him who could have said the words.

But because of the sound, many people crowded over at once.

“Quick, someone’s drowning!”

“Help them… quick, someone help them! Does anyone know how to swim? Save them!”

“Get the people on the boats over here…”

The people shouted loudly in a fit of panic. Soon enough, seven to eight people had crowded by the originally empty riverbank. Almost half of them were holding streaming equipment.

The riverbank broke out into chatter.

“Oh my God! Guys, someone’s drowning! Why can’t I swim… oh, help them!” This was a panicked cry.

“Guys, someone’s drowning. Oh my God, what is with this river and people drowning in it all the time…” This was a voice of shock and confusion.

“I can’t swim, sorry… Oh, thank you for the tip, Bro! Oh my, we’ve got a mega tipper here! Well, uh… I’m going to do it! I’m going to give it a try! Please pray for me, guys!” This was someone who had clearly lost their mind just for a tip…

Amidst the chatter, a middle-aged man had taken off his shirt and was getting ready to jump.

The livestreamers panned their cameras over to him at once.

Lilly ran forwards, tugging at the man’s trousers. “You shouldn’t go, Sir!”

The man thought that Lilly was worried for him, and said, “Don’t you worry. I can swim!”

Lilly was in a fit of panic. “No, there’s danger out there in the water…”

Lilly refused to let go. Her red bracelet glowed lightly, and the man could not shake her off no matter how hard he tried.

Someone from the side called out, “Hey, what’s wrong with you, kid? Why are you getting in the way? Where are your parents, whose kid is this!”

A few grown-ups crowded over, trying to pull Lilly away.

Blake had just come back up from the mud. Seeing this, he growled, “How dare you touch my daughter!”
