Chapter 213: Chapter 213: London
Unlike in the movie, Jack and the others sailed at sea for several days before arriving in London.
After all, the weather at sea is unpredictable, and the winds often change, making it easy for a small boat to lose its direction.
On the fourth day, in the early morning, they finally reached the famous foggy city, London.
"Oh my goodness."
Diana, stepping out of the cabin, couldn't help but furrow her brows and cover her nose and mouth, muttering, "The air here is worse than I imagined."
Over the past few days, she had read many books and gained a basic understanding of the outside world, including what it would be like after the Industrial Revolution.
"This is one of the bad things about the industry."
Jack came out and wrapped the fur coat he was holding over Diana's shoulders.
Looking up at the massive city and the layer of pollution flowing above it, he shook his head and said,
"Pollution is a problem that can not be avoided when new technologies are first made. Even in my time, this problem was not solved well."
Seeing Diana's wrinkled brow, he held her hand and said softly, "Will it be better like this?"
Diana looked at him with a puzzled expression, but soon noticed that the unpleasant and strong smell had disappeared, replaced by a refreshing air.
"Incredible, how did you do that?"
Although she hadn't seen Jack do anything, the smell mysteriously vanished.
"It's just a small gift of mine."
Jack smiled proudly and advised, "It's best if you hold my hand tightly. Otherwise, my ability might not work. I hope you don't mind the smell like you did."
Diana nodded in a daze and held Jack's hand even tighter. It seemed like she felt insecure, so she hugged his arm.
Feeling the softness and warmth in her touch, Jack silently praised himself.
The biological force field sure comes in handy for impressing girls.
In reality, physical contact wasn't even necessary.
With his current abilities, he could instantly spread his biological force field throughout all of London.
But what would be the benefit of doing that?
Who needs it when his wife needs it?
At that moment, Steve also came out, and as he looked at the city not far away, he let out a sigh of relief.
Finally, he was back home.
However, as a spy, he knew that London wasn't entirely safe.
The journey from the ports to the Parliament building probably wouldn't be peaceful.
He needed protection, or else they might not make it to their destination.
When it came to protection, he couldn't help but look at Jack.
"No! Forget about it!"
Jack didn't need to guess what Steve was thinking. He immediately refused him.
As a bodyguard? What a joke!
Although Steve knew the chances were slim, he couldn't help but feel disappointed hearing those words.
"Let's go together."
Steve was surprised when Diana suddenly spoke up.
Over the past few days, he had noticed that as long as Diana had a request, Jack would complete it without hesitation.
Yesterday, just because she said that dolphins looked beautiful when they appeared from the water, Jack jumped into the sea and swam with a group of dolphins all the way until it got dark.
Sure enough, Jack, who had firmly refused just a moment ago, immediately nodded when he heard her request.
"No problem!"
Love truly makes people blind.
If Jack knew, he would definitely slap himself and say, "Can I refuse my own wife's request?"
If she wants the stars and the moon, He'll get them for her.
At the moment, the wind was good, and the boat was moving quickly. Within half an hour, they arrived at the River Thames in London.
Naturally, they encountered officers who asked about their arrival. After Steve dealt with them for a while, they were allowed to dock at the pier.
As they stepped onto the pier, Jack quickly felt several hostile gazes, mostly focused on Steve, with only a few glances directed at them.
He couldn't help but shake his head.
London was supposed to be the capital of a country, yet so many enemy spies had found their way into the city.
They were being watched as soon as they arrived on the ground.
In fact, this should be impossible.
They had traveled all the way on the open sea, and hardly anyone knew about them.
How could they be watched as soon as they got there?
There is only one reason.
There was a problem with the officer who inspected them earlier.
But Jack did not care about any of this. Diana is his main worry right now.
Although she had learned a lot in the past few days and had a better understanding of the outside world, she couldn't suppress her curiosity.
Anything on the street could grab her attention, even an ordinary street lamp.
Especially when she saw a woman holding a baby, Jack almost couldn't hold her back.
The Amazons do not age, and there are no men, so Diana had never seen a real baby other than herself in childhood.
No wonder she was so excited.
"I'm very sorry!"
Jack apologized awkwardly to the frightened mother.
She thought Diana was trying to take her baby.
"I've never seen a baby before."
Despite being stopped, Diana continued to curiously look at the baby in the wrap clothes.
If it weren't for Jack's strength, he wouldn't be able to pull her away.
"Diana, after we deal with Ares, you'll have plenty of time to see babies."
Jack had to whisper in her ear, "Of course, if you want, we can have a child of our own."
"Really?"
Diana suddenly stopped and looked at Jack with joy, asking, "Are you willing to give me a child? We can... um... what's the word? Reproduce together."
Well, it seems like she learned about reproduction education.
Although he was willing in his heart, Jack didn't want to discuss this topic right now.
Because while they were having the discussion, someone was approaching them.
To be more specific, they were going toward Steve.
Steve was confused and did not know what was going on.
Suddenly, several big men rushed out of the crowd, grabbed him, and dragged him into an alley nearby.
"If we don't help... will he die?"
Diana also noticed this and couldn't help but look at Jack.
"Wait for me here, I'll be right back."
Telling Diana to stay put, Jack turned and entered the alley.
As he reached the deepest part, poor Steve was being beaten by several men, one after another.
They punched and kicked him hard, making Trevor, who is known for being tough, cry out in pain.
"Hey, gentlemen, how about a fair fight?"
Everyone laughed at him as they quickly turned around, grabbed his arms, and leaned against the wall.
