"Bang!" "Bang!" Two consecutive sounds rang out. The first was the sound of Jiang Hai's leg striking the woman's arm, and the second was the sound of her body being kicked into the guardrail along the side of the boat. Fortunately, the guardrail near Jiang Hai was very high and sturdy, or else this kick might have sent the woman flying overboard. Despite this, she still suffered significant injuries. Her back hit the railing, likely injuring her spine, and Jiang Hai's kick had also dislocated her right arm.
Jiang Hai, however, also fell to the ground, and it would take a moment for him to recover.
After being thrown across the deck, the woman immediately used her left hand to push herself up. Despite the pain, she placed her right hand on the deck and twisted it fiercely. With the sound of grinding bones, she managed to pop her dislocated arm back into place. Jiang Hai, watching this, couldn't help but feel impressed by her resilience.
"Huh!" She caressed her still-weak right arm and slowly stood up. Her expression was unreadable as she stared at Jiang Hai. Though she had just been kicked away, now both of them were unarmed.
"Hoo!" Jiang Hai had no intention of showing mercy. Since this woman had come after him and hadn't even disclosed who sent her, he felt no psychological burden. As long as he didn't kill her, he could extract the information he needed. He decided to strike while she was vulnerable and rushed toward her.
The woman, her senses sharpened, readied herself for Jiang Hai's attack. As he threw a punch, she twisted her waist and, with remarkable speed, locked his elbow with her right hand. At the same time, her left hand pressed under his armpit, attempting to throw him overboard. But Jiang Hai wasn't so easily overpowered.
Sensing the danger, he instantly kicked the fence in front of him, his body flipping in mid-air. As he turned, he grabbed the woman's wrist, pulling her along with him. They landed together, with the woman crashing heavily onto the deck. Despite the impact, she quickly regained her footing, wiping the blood from her mouth and glaring at Jiang Hai.
"Aren't you going to talk?" Jiang Hai asked with a smirk. This woman was formidable—her close combat skills were even stronger than Bell's. It seemed clear that a significant investment had been made to try to end his life.
Though he didn't know who she was working for, Jiang Hai wasn't going to let that stop him from getting answers.
"Death!" The woman's lips curled into a grimace as she answered defiantly.
"Looking for death!" Jiang Hai's eyes narrowed as he rushed at her again.
When she saw him kick toward her chest, the woman wisely didn't attempt to block it. His strength was too overwhelming. Even if he was holding back, she couldn't withstand the blow, so she dodged to the left.
But at that moment, Jiang Hai's foot made contact with the wall, propelling him into a mid-air turn. He twisted and kicked toward the woman's head. She had no time to dodge and could only cross her arms to shield herself.
But as she had feared, it wasn't enough. With a violent bang, Jiang Hai's kick sent her flying like a cannonball. This time, she crashed into the guardrail again. The fence, which had previously cushioned her fall, could not withstand the force. A section of the guardrail snapped off and flew into the sea. The woman, desperately gripping the ship's side with both hands, tried to climb up, but Jiang Hai was already on his way over. He stepped on her hand, grinding it underfoot.
"Ugh!" The woman gritted her teeth, her face contorting in pain. The pressure was unbearable, but Jiang Hai's gaze remained cold, offering no mercy.
"Still not talking? If you don't, I'll feed you to the sharks," Jiang Hai threatened, a cruel chuckle escaping his lips.
Just then, Dasha and his wife appeared in Jiang Hai's line of sight, their presence confirmed by the effect of the beef he had taken earlier.
"I'll talk! Death!" The woman stubbornly shouted.
"Heh, then go report to Death," Jiang Hai muttered, a touch of absurdity in his voice. He began to apply more pressure to her hand, and the woman's face grew paler by the second.
"Damn it, that bitch is going to die," the bearded man watching the scene from the boat muttered angrily. After handing control of the boat to his deputy, he retrieved an AK-47 from a nearby cabinet, stood at the side of the boat, and aimed at Jiang Hai. But Jiang Hai had already noticed him the moment he stepped out.
As the man raised the gun, Jiang Hai quickly flashed back to the boat. He didn't believe he could withstand the bullets.
Sure enough, as he flashed back, the sound of gunfire erupted.
"F--k! Who's this idiot attacking the boat?" Jiang Hai shouted in frustration. The woman, still hanging from the ship, suddenly became anxious, realizing there were more people involved than she had initially thought.
In the panic, she failed to notice that one of the sharks beneath her had disappeared. Meanwhile, Sauron, the bearded man, had finished firing a round of bullets.
"Go get the magazine!" Sauron shouted to his subordinate.
The younger man ran toward the hold, but before he could enter, a massive shadow surged from the water. The shadow shot out, snatching the man's lower body in one swift bite. The figure that emerged from the sea stunned everyone: it was a shark.
"Ah! Help!" The young man screamed as the shark flicked its tail and dragged him into the depths, leaving only blood swirling in the water. The body floated briefly before sinking again.
"My God!" "We're dead!" The sailors panicked, eyes wide with disbelief as they watched the body vanish into the sea. Even Sauron broke into a cold sweat, his eyes fixed on the calm water ahead.
"Ah!" Just as Sauron stood frozen, another scream rang out from the stern. He looked back to see the shark had returned. This time, it snatched a sailor by the lower body and dragged him into the sea.
"Quick, get to the hold!" Sauron finally snapped out of his stupor, barking orders to his crew.
The remaining sailors hurried to gather, fear evident on their faces. They weren't afraid of dying, but the brutal, messy deaths of their comrades terrified them.
Sauron found the AK-47's magazine in the hold, and with a loaded gun in his hand, his anxiety began to subside. He was ready—if the shark came again, he would make sure it got a taste of his bullets. But to his surprise, the shark disappeared again, vanishing into the depths.
After waiting for a minute, just as the crew thought they were safe, a dorsal fin appeared on the side of the boat, moving swiftly toward them. Sauron and the others raised their weapons in preparation for the attack.
But at that moment, the boat suddenly shook violently. Before anyone could react, two crew members were thrown into the sea.
The dorsal fin disappeared beneath the surface.
"Help! Help!" The two men scrambled to climb back onto the boat, but before they could shout a third time, the shark's jaws closed around them, dragging them down into the depths. When their bodies surfaced again, one had lost his lower body, the other a leg.
Sauron felt a chill crawl up his spine as he witnessed the carnage. He never imagined the shark would launch such a stealthy attack. Even now, he couldn't fathom why the shark was targeting his boat. He refused to believe that Jiang Hai had orchestrated this.
Meanwhile, Dasha and his wife, resting below the water, were preparing for the next attack.
On the yacht's deck, the woman had climbed back aboard. She had no idea what was unfolding on the boat below, but the sounds of screams and roars reached her ears. She knew that unless her battle with Jiang Hai ended soon, the chances of survival for the crew were slim.
But against Jiang Hai, how could she possibly win? If he were so easy to defeat, he wouldn't have surpassed the limits of a normal human.
