Chapter 484 James' Account Was Suspended
Chapter 484 James' Account Was Suspended
Coy's IQ was relatively high compared to most kids. After James explained everything in detail, he understood and nodded knowingly. A scene of him fighting against crocodile began to play in his imagination. 'Wow! It's so exciting.'
In the evening, before they went to bed, James assigned bodyguards to guard them from outside.
During the middle of the night, Coy was awakened. He looked at James and saw him sleeping soundly. He then quietly got up and crawled towards the entrance of the tent.
Shortly afterwards, he peered outside.
There were four men guarding the tent. One of them noticed Coy and flashed him a smile.
Out of curiosity, Coy looked around. Moments later, his eyes lit up when saw something in the distance.
The bodyguard followed his gaze and saw an antelope beyond some shrubberies not far away. This animal wasn't aggressive, and it harbored no ill intention towards them, so it didn't approach their tent.
"Wow, it's so cute!" Coy remarked.
There was a faint noise coming from behind him, but he didn't pay attention to it. The following moment, a larger head popped over his little head.
"What are you looking at?"
"It's an antelope, Daddy," said Coy.
"Why are you not asleep and instead looking at an antelope in the middle of the night?"
"Because it's cute!"
Sadly, the antelope went on its way before it overstayed its welcome.
Coy yawned and decided to lay back down. And within a minute, he fell into slumber.
James was at loss for words. His son was capable of falling asleep whenever he wanted.
The next morning, after they ate breakfast, James folded the tent and continued his stroll with Coy. Today, they were following a pride of lions. Along the way, they also ran into some leopards and cheetahs nearby.
When Coy locked eyes with a fierce lion, he was frightened to his core. As he broke into cold sweat, he called out to his father in a trembling voice.
"Don't run, and don't look into its eyes. Just follow me and we'll be on our way," said James. It was useless to pretend to be dead before a lion. The best way to escape was to let the beast feel that they harbored no malice towards it and gradually get out of its line of sight.
Coy held onto his father's hand as tight as he could, following him back unhurriedly. Then, they changed the direction and slowly disappeared from the lion's sight.
On their third day in the African prairie, Coy saw a helicopter in the sky. "Daddy, what are they doing?"
Without raising his head, James answered, "They're volunteers and local rangers. They're riding the helicopter to patrol the prairie and watch out for poachers."
"Poachers?"
"Yes." James looked into the boy's eyes. "Around thirty thousand elephants are slaughtered every year, which means that one elephant is being hunted every fifteen minutes. And so, those people are doing their best to protect the animals." The reason Ethan came here every year was to volunteer as a ranger.
"Why do they kill elephants?"
"They poach elephants for their ivory tusks, and those could be sold for a high price," James explained.
"I see." It was natural for a small child like Coy to be filled with curiosity. "Can ivory tusks be eaten?"
"Nope."
"So, how come people buy them?"
asked Coy. Since his son was so insistent on getting to the bottom of this matter, James patiently explained everything to him in detail.
On the fourth day, he took Coy to see the tamed lions. At long last, he finally got close to the African lions. He pointed at a docile lion, looking quite excited. "Daddy! It's a lion!"
They had been seeing lions for the past few days, but nonetheless, Coy was always so excited to see them. Obviously, the boy was truly fond of lions.
"Go on, touch it if you're brave enough," said James. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
"Can I?" Coy asked cautiously.
"Of course, you can! The lions here are good friends with humans. There's no reason for you to be afraid!"
Before long, James was taking photos and videos of Coy playing with the lion and sent them to Maria.
About an hour later, Maria saw the photos and videos he had sent. She could see that Coy was so happy playing with the lion.
It had only been a few days since they left, but the boy's skin had become a little tanner.
"Is he being naughty?" she replied.
"He's too afraid to cause any mischief," said James. There were lions, leopards, cheetahs, and crocodiles.
Danger was scattered across the prairie, and Coy was astute enough to know that. He would always stay as close to his father as possible, and he dared not stray away.
Maria had no idea what James was trying to say. 'Has he already punished Coy?'
The image of James beating her son flashed into her mind. "Don't beat him too hard, or you may hurt him."
Realizing that she misunderstood the situation, James explained, "He behaves himself every time a lion roars."
Maria didn't know what to say.
"Perhaps I should raise a lion. Whenever Coy is acting up, I'll throw him to the lion, so that you won't have to punish him yourself," he added.
"What? Are you feeling sorry for him?"
"Well, I feel sorry for your hand. I'm worried that my son's body will hurt your hand."
Maria scoffed and said, "How could you say something so appalling. Aren't you worried that others will laugh at you?"
A moment later, she received three text messages from him in a row. "I can say something sweeter than that. I love you, Maria."
The second text read, "I love everything about you."
"I miss you, and I miss the sound of your moaning, your kiss, and your soft embrace."
Maria's face turned red because of what he said.
"Shut the fuck up, James!"
"Aww, don't be embarrassed," he replied.
"Stop your nonsense. I need to go to work. Just take care of Coy!" With that, Maria put her phone aside and didn't look at his messages anymore.
But not two minutes later, her phone buzzed over and over, and she couldn't resist the urge to look at her phone.
James' words was becoming more and more erotic.
Maria was both ashamed and furious. It had gotten to a point that she decisively reported his account.
Not long after, she noticed that his account had been suspended.
Upon seeing it, Maria gloated and laughed about it.
Meanwhile, James had no idea that his account had been suspended, so he sent her another message. However, his message was rejected. He also received a warning that the reason he got suspended was because of sexual harassment.
James fell silent.
The messaging software he was using was developed by none other than HL Group, and in spite of being the CEO, his account had been suspended. He would become the laughingstock of the city if this news were to break out.
Thus, he decided to call Gary. "My account has been suspended. Fix it as soon as possible."
For a moment, Gary didn't know how to react. In all honesty, he wanted to laugh, but he was too afraid to do so. "I understand, Mr. Xi!"
"Oh, by the way, find out who suspended my account, and give them a two-day off as a reward," James added. Since Maria had successfully reported him, she was probably laughing her ass off at the moment.
He decided to award the employee since they made her happy.
"Reward?" Gary asked tentatively.
"You heard me, didn't you?"
At this point, Gary didn't know what to say. He was becoming more and more suspicious that James had become masochistic.
Putting his phone away, James took Coy to a helicopter. They saw lions and African elephants running across the grassland, and crocodiles by the river.
In addition, they saw predatory animals hunting prey that could only be seen on TV. A pack of eight lions were stalking an African buffalo at the moment.
Soon, they passed through the ancient Namib Desert, and they saw antelopes and zebras on the sand dune.
