Chapter 944: Chapter 954: Holding the Main Hall (Part 1)
The dissatisfied Michael leaned complexly against the side!
"Even at my peak, could I have been like him?" he thought to himself.
Because this young man before him showed no signs of stopping, and from his expression, there wasn’t even a hint of slowing down.
He knew that his current stamina wasn’t much worse than at his peak.
Now, he could only swim one more lap at his previous speed, and he’d definitely be utterly exhausted.
To avoid embarrassment, he had no choice but to stop.
Next, he watched Lin Xi swim eight more laps, and towards the end, it seemed he was swimming even faster.
"This..." Michael was left shocked and frozen in place.
Earlier, he’d thought of teaching the rookie a lesson or showing the newcomer the capabilities of an experienced swimmer.
But now, all he felt was admiration.
And his heart was filled with immense joy.
Knowing that this kind of stamina had never existed in human history in the swimming world.
If he were to participate in the Olympics or other competitions, wouldn’t all the gold medals be his?
Just the thought of this made him even more excited.
"Recruit him!" he decided secretly.
He must bring this young man to the United States and recommend him to the national team or a club.
In the future, representing the United States, wouldn’t it absolutely establish their untouchable status in swimming, especially in the hearts of Huaxia?
As for the young man’s skin color or nationality?
None of that matters!
The United States itself is a compatible country.
They absolutely welcome all skilled or high-end talents.
Of course, if you don’t possess the needed skills, or you’re not particularly wealthy, the United States absolutely won’t bother with you.
Clearly, they are a nation that prioritizes interest above all.
"That’s enough!" Lin Xi had swum sixteen laps—about thirty kilometers.
For others, that’d be an unimaginable number.
But for him, it was nothing!
If it weren’t for that swimming champion with eyes glowing green staring at him, he would probably keep swimming.
Compared to swimming, Xuanyuan Fist in the morning drained much more energy and stamina.
The energy spent on a single session of Xuanyuan Fist could match sixteen swimming laps, and his morning routine of three or four sessions adds up.
Only if this were abroad, if he kept swimming, he’d probably be deemed a monster.
Now, just sixteen laps and he’d already caught the attention of the swimming champion.
Thus, being about thirty to forty meters from Michael, he stopped and quickly got ashore.
He grabbed a towel to quickly dry off, then walked to where he had just taken off his clothes, took them without wearing them, and headed for the elevator.
Michael, "..."
He hesitated, thinking Lin Xi would put on clothes, but he didn’t!
So he immediately rushed ashore at his fastest speed and shouted in English, "Wait a moment, wait!"
"Young man, I need to speak with you!"
But once he got ashore, Lin Xi’s shadow had vanished.
When he reached the elevator, the display showed it descending, all the way to the first floor?
Clearly, the young man had exited the elevator before he arrived.
Regarding the elevator descending to the first floor, there were two reasons.
First, someone pressed it on the first floor.
Second, the youth pressed his floor and the first floor simultaneously.
"Why?" Michael was a bit puzzled.
"Could it be the young guy didn’t want to see him?"
He was, after all, a world swimming champion and the one with the most gold medals.
No matter where he went, he’d attract hordes of fans instantly.
Even those uninterested, upon seeing him, would want a photo and autograph for showing off on social media.
But this young man ignored him?
Or didn’t hear him?
As he saw it, someone who swims so well, no, someone who swims so abnormally well, could not be indifferent to swim competitions.
If interested, it’s impossible he doesn’t recognize him.
"I don’t believe you won’t come out!" Michael pressed his floor, planning to get dressed and wait downstairs in the hall.
He didn’t want to miss such a talent.
If another country grabbed him, it’d mean their gold medal chances would fade.
Back on the sixty-eighth floor, Lin Xi had no idea Michael Phillips would be so persistent!
If he knew, he should’ve chosen another sport this morning.
After unlocking the room door, everyone was still asleep.
After changing clothes, he sat on the sofa for a few minutes before people started to wake up.
First and second to wake were Xie Ziqi and Dili Bare.
They seemed in good spirits, likely due to having the most restful night in recent times.
Also, the earliest they had slept!
The others had gone to bed late and didn’t sleep poorly.
Because tomorrow morning was the deadline!
Though not targets, Dili Bare’s safety was their concern.
The bodyguards were responsible for life safety, the assistants had deep emotions, and the staff had friendships from spending time together.
Once the two women rose, others slowly got up.
The entire presidential suite turned bustling.
Washing faces, brushing teeth, showering, drying hair....
Took over half an hour, and everyone was ready even without makeup.
If they had done makeup, it would’ve taken an hour more.
Then they all sat on the sofa discussing what to do.
It was about nine-thirty, yet George’s latest time was eleven.
If they didn’t offer an outcome by eleven, George would come to capture people.
"What to do?" Dili Bare’s assistant was the most anxious; it was her boss they’d be capturing!
Not only did they share a deeply sisterly bond, but the relationship was also like boss and employee, one-on-one.
If the boss fell, she’d lose her job too.
Most importantly, she was Dili Bare’s assistant and cared about her.
Over years together, she’d come to see Dili Bare as a younger sister.
Now her sister was about to be kidnapped by a gangster’s son—intolerable!
Moreover, this son of a gangster had a terribly bad reputation.
