"How could he die?" Cheyenne cried out his name in despair in her heart.
Her wide-open eyes reflected the familiar black figure, falling like a kite with a broken string into the blue sea below, from the mountaintop to the sea level, about tens of meters high. The waves below were so turbulent, with rocks scattered around...
He had never planned to come out alive when he decided to take Cheyenne close to this poisonous forest. All the planning was just for her safety.
Kelvin plunged heavily into the water, followed by a loud thud and splashing up more than one meter high white waves that wetted her skirt. Countless seagulls were startled and flapped their wings away.
"No..."
The calm sea surface bubbled like boiling water with countless white bubbles rising up, making it murky. It had only been a minute or so but it felt like an eternity for Cheyenne.
When she came back to herself and looked again, there was no one in sight! Tears streamed down Cheyenne's face as she watched the rippling sea surface; she had to go down and see if Kelvin really died! He couldn't have died!
A selfish rich man like him should cherish his life so much that he wouldn't just die like this. She had to go down and see him.
Just as Cheyenne was about to dive headfirst into the water, the newborn kitten in her arms let out weak cries that sounded fragile. After hesitating for a second or two, she put it on top of the lifeboat before jumping straight into the water without any hesitation.
"Kelvin! You can't die! I don't want you dead!" At that same moment, on another side of the ocean stood an opulent double-decker cruise ship speeding towards them with a bright red flag fluttering under the blue sky.
The young man standing on deck wore an elegant white suit while his jet-black hair blew wildly in all directions.
He held binoculars tightly and exclaimed excitedly when he saw Cheyenne diving into the seawater. "I found where Cheyenne is!" His voice trembled slightly from excitement.
Before his voice could fully subside, another cold male voice spoke behind him, "Is that right? Let me have a look."
In no time at all a large hand snatched away binoculars from the young man's grip.
The young man was dressed in military green attire, with a wide-brimmed hat on his head. His resolute face looked even more handsome and full of vigor against the backdrop. He exuded an air of cold and unyielding righteousness, like the vast expanse of stars.
He had indeed spotted Cheyenne through his binoculars and quickly instructed his comrades to steer the luxury cruise ship towards the direction of the island.
"Hurry up! Faster!" Omari kept urging him anxiously in his ear as he watched the tiny lifeboat bobbing along with the waves.
"Don't be afraid, Cheyenne. I'm coming to save you."
Hurry up!
...
Underwater.
Cheyenne's vision was greatly impaired. It was difficult for her to see clearly underwater. Occasionally, one or two colorful fish would dart past her frantically.
The flow direction of seawater had changed course and impeded her progress. She waved her sore arms vigorously and swam towards a black shadow in front of her.
Behind her stood a black-robed judge on top of a mountain throwing grenades into the sea that exploded deep down below, creating wave after wave of white foam.
A powerful force erupted within seawater as shrapnel from grenades grazed Cheyenne's legs and back... Blood quickly spread outwards staining surrounding seawater pinkish-red in color.
