The audience was stunned. Thompson, who before had a full-blown smile plastered on his face, was also dumbfounded.

Li Du raised up the ball and said, ”I’m done, aren’t I?”

Sophie jumped and applauded like a small, excited child. ”Yay, yay, yay! Nicely done, you’re awesome!”

Robert and the rest also applauded.

”Sh*t, that guy can’t be the Flash, can he?”

”Did anyone believe the video of him fighting n the Bones District was sped up? Li Du’s is that fast!”

”I’ll bet, when he ‘relieves’ himself, it must feel great since he has such quick hands!”

Thompson was fed up, and said, ”Sorry, friend. The game hasn’t started yet.”

Sophie exclaimed in rage when she heard that, ”Dr. Thompson, you’re just being mean! Li, come back, I’ll wipe the dirt off your back for you!”

Thompson said in a loud voice, ”I’m not being mean—I’m the referee here, and the game only begins when the referee says that it has. I didn’t say that the game had begun just now, so it hasn’t started.”

”Then why did you throw the ball out?”

”For them to warm up a little,” Thompson argued.

Seeing that both parties were about to begin a quarrel, Li Du let go of the ball and said, ”Sophie, Robert, enough. Let’s just say that the game hasn’t started then.”

Robert held back Sophie, who still wanted to get her point across. ”Believe in Li; with his speed, won’t it be easy to get the ball again?”

Thompson retrieved the ball, cleared his throat, and shouted, ”Begin!”

He swung the fishing pole and moved the ball from one end of the swampy pool to the other. With that, the four had to chase after the ball.

The pool was almost like a real swamp; the depth had reached their thighs, making it difficult to walk.

The other three formed a team. Two came over to obstruct Li Du; he got into it with them and began a three-way fight. They were quickly covered in mud.

Thompson relentlessly swung the ball around, and the other guy had no way of getting it. Running out of breath, he couldn’t take it anymore, and shouted angrily, ”Hey, what are you trying to do?”

”Have some patience, Dr. Morven,” Thompson snickered.

He was frightened by Li Du’s speed, and couldn’t help but speed up.

But after being reminded, he began to slow down, and moved the ball closer to the Mud Monkeys.

He wanted to make Li Du look bad, but he didn’t want to offend the rest.

Soon, two of them had gotten the ball and left the pool, leaving Li Du and a big-sized male nurse.

The male nurse could tell what was going on. He made use of the opportunity when he was holding Li Du off and spoke to him secretly, ”I’ll cover you—go for the ball.”

Li Du could sense the hostility Thompson had toward him. ”Don’t worry, friend. It’s more important that we have fun. We’ll go for it together. In any case, it won’t take more than a minute or two.”

The male nurse nodded, and reached out for the ball.

This set had gone for long enough, the audience was displeased and began shouting.

”Enough, Thompson, slow down the ball.”

”Do you think they’re Superheroes? Do you know how to play or not?”

”D*mmit, do you want to play until night?”

Thompson had no choice but to slow down the ball. The male nurse took the chance to grab the it, leaving Li Du as the last person.

Normally, for the last person, there would be just a quick round of chasing the ball, and that was it.
