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 diving


    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 viger 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


    lovedying 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 Ind. 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 inds 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 ept 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 ms, 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. ording


    to the legend, the heart-shaped cave was the home of the m spirit, and it had set up many traps in


    the cave to defend itself. A person could die if they entered the cave.
