Chapter 88 88: Fishing.

After climbing back up to the mountain, Leo took a deep breath and said, "Well ladies, how about we go down and catch some fish?" Lily sprang up to her feet and said, "I will carry the bucket." Leo chuckled and nodded, as he went up to the car and took out all the stuff, the fishing rod, and then the small bucket that would be used to carry the fish back up. He didn't intend to kill the fish right after catching, he wanted to make sure they stayed fresh till he finally cooked them. The trio moved down the hill and Leo was very careful when he led the two down. Snow was still able to mind her step but Lily was a child and she didn't know how dangerous can slopes be once you stumble. After a few minutes, they appeared at the banks of the stream, and Leo took some minced meat bait, and carefully lumped it around the hook, and cast the line in the distance. Then he sat down and closed his eyes. The system skill made it so that he could sense the movement of the line a little better than a complete newbie. Lily asked, "Baba, when will we catch a fish?" Snow replied, "When you stay quiet. You know they get scared when there is loud noise." Lily was surprised and asked in a hushed tone, "How can they even hear it all? They don't have ears." Leo wanted to laugh his head off, when he sensed that Snow was looking at him seriously. She took a deep breath and said, "So, when we say something, we create vibrations. The fish can sense these vibrations and thus they become alert. You will learn in the future, darling." Lily nodded, and Leo suddenly sat up straight and said, "Shush." The two ladies calmed down, and sensing the movement on his fishing line, Leo was about to pull the fish out when the movement ceased. The young man frowned, thinking that the fish ran away, he let go of the lever to pull the line, but as soon as he did so, the line was pulled from the otherside. Leo held onto the lever and he began to play the pull and let go tactic with the fish. He let the thing pull once, and reeled thrice. After a few minutes of patient reeling, he jerked the fishing rod and a big fish about half a meter big flew out of the stream before it landed on the shore, still flipping around. Lily was stunned, and then Leo went over, placed his foot on the side of the fish, took out the hook and carefully held it in his hand before moving it to the bucket. Lily was surprised and said, "I also want to catch a fish." Leo chuckled and beckoned her to come beside him. Then he taught her what he knew and they cast the line and sat down waiting. Snow watched the two of them and after some thought she said, "Why don't you stream this to the people? I have noticed that these days, you don't stream anything." Leo shook his head and said, "Streaming was just something I did when I was looking to make some money, what purpose would it serve now?" Snow shook her head and said, "I followed you, and I saw how people loved what you taught them. They liked it when you helped them. You can make it big in the field of art, Leo. Why not try?" The young man was lost in a deep thought, when the system rang, 'Ping: Host, what your companion said does make sense. If you continue leveling up your stats, you will become a known personality in the field of art and then your daughter will also gain more knowledge. For every ten times you showcase your skills, you will gain five points of skill update.' The young man thought about it and then he nodded, as he said, "You do make a fine point, Snowie. I will work hard." Snow smiled as she looked at him, and then Lily suddenly said, "Oh, it shook!" Leo handed his phone to Snow, who opened the streaming app swiftly and began to stream. She made sure to keep Leo's face out of the frame. The people who were Leo's loyal followers, they all rushed up as if piranhas that smelled blood. The young man greeted the people and said, "The past few days have been busy and here we are, camping in the Terra Mountain Range of the Clover Nation. We found a stream and we are teaching Lily how to fish. Though, for the sake of fairness, I am a noob myself. So, it is all trial and error. Just know Lily hooked a fish, let's try to reel it out." The comments began to flow in and many people saw Lily following the instructions of reeling and letting go. Leo guided her while holding the rod steady. After a few minutes, they gave the rod a big tug and the fish flew out of water before it landed on the ground. Lily quickly ran up to the fish and placed her foot on the side of the fish as she exclaimed, "Baba! This is squishy." Leo chuckled and went over to help her collect the fish in the bucket and said, "Not bad for the first catch, my love." Snow watched them catch fish and Leo talked to the viewers and he mentioned that his wife was the cameraman today, causing the viewers to cheer up and send gifts. … In a magnificent manor garden, an old man was walking with the help of his cane. Every few minutes, he would raise his head and look at the door of the manor. After a few minutes, the door opened and a well dressed middle-aged woman came out in a set of sports outfit. She looked at the old man and sighed before she asked, "What do you want Hector?" The old man was Hector Marlin and today he came here to meet his wife, yes, his wife, Anastasia Marlin. The old man said, "Ana, can you…" Anastasia looked at her husband coldly and said, "You no longer have the right to call me that. Do you understand?" Hector stopped in his speech and took a deep breath before he asked, "Lady Marlin, can you ask our daughter…" Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Anastasia spat on the ground beside her, without caring about her regal behavior and asked, "How conveniently you call her your daughter when you want to ask her something, is a new height of hypocrisy, you greedy old coot. I feel ashamed looking at you and I curse the day when I fell in love with you. I knew you would come over here to ask about that filthy seed of yours that went missing in the Clover Country. However, I didn't expect you to be this fast, but I understand, after all you are the hound raised by the family. Also, where is your bitch of a daughter? Is she too ashamed to walk out of that gilded room she snatched from my daughter?" Anastasia Marlin was not an easy person to deal with, she hated the son and daughter Hector brought with her because only she knew how they treated her and Snow in the past. Hector clenched his hand around the handle of his cane very tightly and Anastasia said, "You need to get going, I have a routine to follow, unlike some people the rest of the Marlin family has begun to wake up from their delusions. Don't let me see you again, get lost." Then she left to run around the manor, without caring for the fact that Hector was gazing at her with a gaze that could kill people if he had the power. As she ran away from Hector's gaze, she took out a small old phone and held it to her ear after dialing a number, the call connected after a few minutes and she said, "I request an audience with his Majesty, it is time." Then she continued with her run, and only she knew what she was thinking. … On the other side, Leo and Lily caught six fish together and Snow helped them with the streaming. Then the family went back up the hill and the sun was about to set. Leo took out a set of chef knives, some other supplies and condiments before he began to stream how to cook fish and Lily became his assistant. Snow suddenly received a message on her phone and after reading the content, she was surprised. So much that the phone fell on the ground with a thud. Leo noticed this and quickly approached her after telling Lily to stay away from the flames. He quickly asked, "Love, what happened? Are you okay?" Snow gulped and said, "My mother just sent me a message…" ... You want more chapters? Bribe the Author with gifts, or smack his face with power stones. Take control of the man who controls the destiny of Leo Cardinal, this is your chance. I, for one, wish to see him buried under the golden tickets, and power stones so that I can drive his ass to work more.
