Chapter 1660
Elijah and the fishermen looked at Stefan in confusion.
Stefan took off his coat and said to the fishermen, "Help me get a diving suit and a guide. I'll go look for
the pearl myself."
"No, Mr. Hunt!" Elijah blurted out, and quickly stopped the fisherman who was going to look for a divingnovelbin
suit. He said anxiously, "I know you're eager to save Ms. Everheart, but you can't be impulsive. Diving
is very dangerous, and I don't think you have to do it yourself. Well just wait for the news by the sea."
"They said we need a good diver, and I'm a good diver." Stefan ignored Elijah's objection and again
asked the villager to find him a diving suit. He started doing stretches to warm up and prepare for
diving. Diving was one of his hobbies, and he loved free-diving without an oxygen tank the most. He
loved laying on the soft sand at the bottom of the sea, watching the colorful underwater world and the
sky. It brightened his boring life a little, and he'd always wished he could do it with Renee once she was
cured and they returned to live on Sun Island. They could see the sunrise, sunset, the underwater
world, and the starry sky together once she was cured, so doing this dive gave him hope.
"I know you're a good diver, but the sea is different here. I heard that there are a lot of blue holes
formed by the coral reefs, and people can get stuck in them or lose their way. Only local fishermen who
always go out to sea know the sea well, so there's less of a risk if one of them does it." Elijah had
investigated the South Sea before going there, and it was one of the few islands in the world with a
high mortality rate. The cliffs along the shore were filled with divers from around the world, and some of
them were famous.
"People have been looking for it for such a long time, but all of them failed.
Maybe it's meant for me... I have to try."
"But Mr. Hunt-"
"If you can't accept it, you can go back on your own," Stefan said impatiently, then pushed Elijah aside
to take the diving suit. He wanted to do it on his own not out of arrogance, but because he truly
believed it had to be him. Besides, if he failed, he wouldn't regret it because he knew he had tried his
best.
Helpless, Elijah watched Stefan change into the diving suit.
Stefan went to a diving spot with the richest coral reefs, and followed his guide, a local fisherman, to
the bottom of the sea. As they dived deeper, the sunlight above him grew fainter, and the scenery
became more beautiful. They picked a spot with many coral reefs because such a spot generally
housed more clams, so there was a higher probability of finding the pearl.
A heart-shaped cave formed by reefs attracted Stefan's attention. He wanted to enter the cave, but the
guide quickly stopped him, making an X gesture to indicate that it was dangerous. The guide had told
him earlier that the heart-shaped cave was very dangerous, and no one could easily enter it. According
to the legend, the heart-shaped cave was the home of the clam spirit, and it had set up many traps in
the cave to defend itself. A person could die if they entered the cave.
