Chapter 282: Storm Tamer (5)
"Will you remind me what I’m doing here!?" John complained loudly as he stood facing the endless sea.
John stood by the sea, dressed head to toe in Demon Crab shells and holding a bucket of Demon Crab meat. His makeshift armour was more hilarious than intimidating, with crab legs sticking out at odd angles and shells clinking with every move.
He had been standing there for hours but didn’t know what for. All he knew was that Adrian wouldn’t let him move an inch, not even to rest.
Even the others were confused but didn’t say a thing as long as they weren’t the ones standing there wearing nothing but crab shells. No one but Sophia knew what was going on inside Adrian’s head.
"Stay there until I tell you otherwise," Adrian yelled back, laying comfortably in a hammock while the rest had their own hammocks to sleep on.
"I bet he regrets not listening to me. He could have stayed in Miami, but no!" Michaela commented, sipping coconut water. "Woah, this tastes like lemonade."
"Should we tell her?" Sophia asked Adrian.
Michaela didn’t know she was drinking a naturally made cocktail of demon fruit and demon crab pee. While it wouldn’t harm them, and the drink was considered a delicacy on Nexaria, many people were grossed out by the thought of drinking juice from trees watered with demon crab pee.
"Ignorance is bliss," Adrian replied, eating some roasted crab along with the drink. "Let them enjoy it while they can because there’ll be no rest for us once it appears."
