The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 944 - 921: Fierce Battle (Part 3)

"I don’t know, but at least five or six, right?"

"..."

"Oh, right. The sharks are the fiercest tiger sharks, the biggest in size, with sharp teeth! They excel at slicing! Their bite force can reach over 1700 pounds, so you must be careful not to get bitten by them."

Sabrina Conner felt a chill all over and asked again, "What if we get bitten?"

"Cut off the part that’s bitten! Losing a leg or an arm is better than losing your life." Adrian Desmond looked at Sabrina Conner and said blandly.

Sabrina Conner looked down at her arms and hands, palms and backs are all flesh, each is her favorite, she didn’t want to lose any of them.

She was reluctant to cut them off.

"Did you understand?" Adrian Desmond glanced at the people present.

Aaron Faber said, "Sixth Master, I’ve sabotaged the propeller for you, so I don’t have to go inside, right? You know, I’m afraid I’ll suffocate in the tunnel."

Aaron Faber is the tech guy, his physical ability is lacking, plus he’s here voluntarily to help this time. Adrian Desmond certainly wouldn’t let Aaron Faber risk his life.

"Hmm, you don’t have to go. Once we get inside, you return to the team, we’ll stay in touch anytime."

"Sixth Master, be careful." Aaron Faber said gravely.

"I won’t die!" Adrian Desmond said carelessly.

Sabrina Conner wanted to say that too—could she avoid going inside? But she couldn’t afford to lose her reputation. If people found out she was afraid of sharks and didn’t dare go in, where would she have the face to show afterward?

"Let’s go!"

"Yes, Sixth Master."

...

Under the sea, at the tunnel entrance,

Marion held a large lamp, illuminating Aaron Faber as he checked the entrance closely and found no sensors or anything.

It’s just a regular propeller that can be disassembled directly.

Underwater, Aaron Faber made an OK gesture to Adrian Desmond.

Adrian Desmond instructed Sabrina Conner to dismantle it, with Sabrina holding a Barrett heavy sniper rifle, several shots destroyed the propeller.

Sabrina Conner: Satisfying!

She caressed her Barrett heavy sniper rifle, recalling when she was caught by Abraham and jailed like a stranded fish, powerless, she thought back then if only she had a Barrett heavy sniper rifle, it’d be all rat-a-tat-tat...

Adrian Desmond and the others surfaced, Adrian Desmond took a few deep breaths and said, "Aaron, you go back first. After I go in, I’ll head to the cliff and lower the climbing rope, you tell Jule to stay hidden, not to expose the target.

Currently, Death Island’s front is engaged in a fierce battle, there shouldn’t be attention on the rear, but we can’t be careless."

"Got it, Sixth Master." Aaron Faber replied.

Adrian Desmond looked at Sabrina Conner and Marion, asking, "How fast can you swim? 15 meters won’t be a problem, right?"

The men’s 15-meter freestyle world record is 46.91 seconds, Adrian Desmond’s fastest is 30.08 seconds, now wearing clothes and gear, maybe it’ll take 40 seconds, his longest breath-hold is 14 minutes. However, in rapid movement, due to excessive exertion, it’s definitely impossible to hold the breath that long.

Marion said, "My fastest 15-meter freestyle is 49.12 seconds, I can hold my breath for 11 minutes."

Adrian Desmond looked at Sabrina Conner, who always kept her head down, usually talkative, but now particularly silent, "Sabrina, what about you?"

"Swimming, breath-holding is fine, but I’m afraid of sharks. They’re tiger sharks, my life is at stake." Sabrina Conner said worriedly.

Marion explained, "Sabrina was bitten by a tiger shark during a training session once. It bit her on the rear, fortunately, Barnes Smythe killed the tiger shark in time, or she’d have ended up a lump of poop."

Sabrina Conner glanced sideways, "You could’ve just said I was bitten by a tiger shark, why mention it bit my rear? What’s the need for such detail? This is my personal privacy, isn’t it?

Marion, behaving like this is quite unkind, you know?"

Adrian Desmond said reasonably, "I didn’t know you were bitten by a shark, I only know you’re the fastest swimmer among them, given that, you withdraw."

"No way, how could I withdraw? How would I face people if they found out? I’m the genius of the base, with my intelligence and ability, no one else within six hundred years before or after will surpass me..."

"Get back!" Now, time was of the essence, Adrian Desmond had no care to banter with Sabrina Conner.

"Marion, give me the rope!" Adrian Desmond wanted to lighten Marion’s load.

"Sixth Master, no need, I can handle it..."

"Give me!"

Marion obediently untied the climbing rope on him and handed it to Adrian Desmond, who firmly secured it on him to prevent it from falling midway.

Adrian Desmond said, "I’ll lead, you follow behind..."

"There’s me too, Sixth Master." Sabrina Conner raised her hand like a child.

Adrian Desmond frowned at her, asking, "Aren’t you afraid of sharks?"

"Sixth Master said, only by bravely overcoming one’s weaknesses can one become stronger." Actually, she couldn’t afford to lose her reputation.

"I’ve said that?" Adrian Desmond asked.

"Haha..."

Adrian Desmond looked at Sabrina Conner and said sternly, "Don’t regret it!"

"I won’t regret it!"

"If your rear gets bitten again, don’t cry!"

Sabrina Conner: ...

...

The three held a big breath and swiftly dived underwater, Adrian Desmond first, Sabrina Conner behind, and Marion bringing up the rear.

Their speed was quite fast, soon reaching the end of the tunnel, underwater darkness, with Adrian Desmond’s flashlight in his mouth, illuminating only a portion.

Sharks have poor eyesight, hence, when hunting, sharks mainly "go with the flow," but their sensory system is more sensitive than humans’ instruments. Like their sense of smell, they can detect the scent and the smell of blood of prey within a thousand meters.

Now, the sharks probably knew they had intruded into their territory, so Adrian Desmond didn’t linger, he rapidly swam to the surface, racing against time.

After surfacing, they all took a big breath and swam towards the shore at full sprint speed.

On the lake, the shark’s dorsal fin cut through the water, swiftly swimming towards them, Sabrina Conner’s muscles all tensed.

"****!"

They all swam to the shore with all their might, Sabrina Conner felt her swimming speed was breaking records again.

Adrian Desmond was first to reach the shore, Sabrina Conner second, Marion was slowest, just as Marion crawled onto the shore, a massive shark opened its enormous mouth full of steel teeth, ready to swallow Marion whole.

Adrian Desmond, quick-eyed and deft, grabbed the Barrett heavy sniper rifle from Sabrina Conner and fired several shots at the shark’s open mouth, Marion seized the chance to climb ashore, gasping heavily, looking rather haggard.

Sabrina Conner mocked, "Haha, if it weren’t for Sixth Master’s quick hands, you’d be bitten in the rear too."

"Shut up!" Marion said, embarrassed and angry.

"Oops, apologies, rest assured, I won’t tell anyone you almost got your rear bitten by a shark. Ha—ha—ha!"
