Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets
Chapter 1191 - 610: Is it so big because it’s from the Kuafu Clan?

Chapter 1191: Chapter 610: Is it so big because it’s from the Kuafu Clan?

The shark successfully bit down on James’s leg, clamping down tightly on it, along with the diving suit, within its mouth!

James watched his own leg enter the shark’s mouth, stunned for a moment before intense pain elicited a piercing scream from him!

"Ah—pull me out quickly!"

Earlier, he had thought it was safe, and everyone had loosened the rope; he didn’t come up, but instead turned around to mock the shark, and now he was asking everyone to pull him up— However, everyone really did pull!

Then men and shark began to wrestle at the water’s edge!

The shark became furious, was it going to be bullied by these bipeds even in the water? It lashed its tail fiercely, recoiling its body backwards, and, still biting James, pulled the other few people into the water as well!

Once the shark was in the water, its strength was incomparable to ordinary people!

"Let go quickly!" Cheryl Suweton made an immediate decision, shouting loudly, "Don’t get dragged into the deep water area!"

It was only then that the others reacted, immediately letting go, and then watched as James was bitten and taken into the water by the shark, a surge of bloody water emerging!

Just then, suddenly a few "bang bang bang" gunshots were heard. These research staff, who had rolled and crawled onto the shore, then realized that a motorboat had approached nearby without their noticing, a few people on the boat were firing their guns at the shark showing its dorsal fin!

Though the shark had thick skin, the part of its back that was out of water couldn’t block the bullets, and it erupted in a series of blood flowers from the hits, angrily leapt up, then plunged back into the water and disappeared.

Accompanied by splashing, James bobbed up and down in the lake, and it looked like he was about to sink.

"Save him," Sean Knight couldn’t just watch a life disappear right before his eyes, so for the sake of maintaining his image, he said to Elijah Hastings, "The shark has swum far away, it can’t come back now."

However, no one went into the water; instead, they fished James out with a net, then used a rubber boat to bring him to shore.

"His two legs haven’t completely snapped off, it’s just that he’s lost a lot of blood and passed out due to the shock. If we’re quick about the rescue, we should be able to save him." After Sean Knight said this to the Deputy Leader of the Research Team, he went with Cheryl Suweton onto the boat.

The rest of the research team was still shaken, but the most important thing now was to treat James.

James looked barely human at this point. Although his legs hadn’t snapped off, blood poured out, and the dozens of wounds were frightening to see. Because the shark kept thrashing him around in the water, the diving suit and oxygen cylinder kept colliding, leaving him with many wounds, and his face was even mottled with purple, with half of one ear torn off.

Fortunately, though his breathing was rapid, at least it was still there.

The people from the research team immediately made a rescue phone call, and before long, a helicopter came and took James away.

It wasn’t long before Cheryl Suweton received a phone call from the research team.

After listening for a while, Cheryl Suweton hung up, looking somewhat forlorn as she said to Sean Knight,

"The research team is disbanding; they’re heading back."

Sean Knight didn’t ask why since it was quite obvious.

"They figured that they’ve already obtained some results, confirming that there really is an underwater ruin site below. But they feel it’s unnecessary to lose their lives over a ruin site. That shark is bigger than the ones in the movies; it could easily eat a person in one bite..."

Cheryl Suweton said this, her expression one of lingering fear. To tell the truth, even as a person experienced in battlefields, she couldn’t help but feel weak at the knees at the sight of the shark.

Faced with a giant shark larger than a small whale and with a mouth full of teeth, humans truly felt minuscule in the face of such a behemoth!

"So what do you plan to do?" Sean Knight asked, "Would you like to join our research team?"

"Dear, are you still planning to continue the investigation here?" Cheryl Suweton was somewhat puzzled.

"Look here," Sean Knight pulled Cheryl Suweton into the ship cabin, pointing at the radar screen, "See, we can detect the presence and location of the shark through this radar screen. As long as we avoid it timely, diving here is still relatively safe.

Of course, I won’t let you dive, but with you here, you can help me analyze some specific items. Like right now, we’ve already found some pottery jars, but I am somewhat lacking in knowledge in that area..."

"Okay," Cheryl Suweton heard that it was safe and was rather happy.

"The shark has been injured, it won’t dare to approach again for a short time. But sharks do have a strong sense of vengeance. When it comes back, we’ll see if we can kill it, it’d be like helping the fishermen here eliminate a menace," Sean Knight revealed his plans for the shark.

Cheryl Suweton’s eyes lit up with excitement.

The people from her own research team, upon hearing about the shark, their first instinct was to beat a hasty retreat.

After all, since they had already discovered something, it was time to take advantage of the situation and leave.

But what about her own man? He faced the challenge head-on, even thinking about getting rid of the shark for the fishermen.

This was the difference!

No wonder she had fallen for him!

Now, in Cheryl Suweton’s eyes, Sean Knight practically shone with a light.

Sean Knight didn’t realize that his words had changed Cheryl Suweton’s opinion; he was thinking that in his spatial realm, he still had an anti-materiel sniper rifle, but it wasn’t convenient to bring it out; otherwise, one shot could turn that shark belly up—not correct, sharks aren’t like other fish, they have lungs, so when they die, they sink.

At the moment, the giant shark was unaware that someone was plotting against it, having taken a hit to its back, it swam to the deeper parts of the lake. After all, in this lake, there were beings other than itself that held the title of the apex predator, and if it encountered another, the injured shark might end up nothing more than food.
