Anyone who dives frequently knows that ascending too quickly can cause the body to suffer from oxygen deprivation and tissue damage.
Seeing Logan rapidly approaching, while he himself was still four or five meters from the surface, Simon Clark visibly panicked.
Ignoring the strain on his body, Simon Clark swam upwards as fast as he could.
Without daring to look back, Simon Clark didn't see that Logan had already stopped pursuing him. Logan glanced mockingly at the frantically fleeing Simon Clark.
This time, Logan didn't hide anything. With a flip of his hand, he put away the gun into his storage space and pulled out a black weapon: an interception crossbow!
He calmly tied a rope to the arrow's tail, took aim at Simon Clark, who was getting closer to the surface, and fired!!
...
Simon Clark's face grew paler as he ascended quickly, but his eyes were bright—the surface was close, closer.
Finally, Simon Clark's head broke through the water's surface.
He removed his breathing regulator, about to call out for his bodyguards to pull him up.
But at that moment, his body suddenly trembled!
Looking down, he saw a sharp arrowhead protruding from his abdomen, and blood quickly spread through the surrounding water.
The bodyguards also spotted Simon Clark and immediately jumped into the water to pull him up.
But in the blink of an eye, a massive force from the arrow yanked Simon Clark back into the water!
Simon Clark was suddenly dragged back underwater, and the intense pain in his abdomen caused him to faint.
Logan now held only the rope, the crossbow gone, and he used it to drag Simon Clark deeper underwater.
The bodyguards, realizing the seriousness of the situation, dived in to rescue Simon Clark.
However, without breathing equipment, they could only dive a few meters before having to resurface due to lack of oxygen.
By the time the bodyguards donned their diving gear and reentered the water, Logan, Simon Clark, and any trace of them were already gone.
...
Logan dragged the unconscious Simon Clark like a dead dog and tossed him onto the beach of the small island.
Due to ascending too quickly earlier, Simon Clark's body had already shown symptoms of decompression sickness, with his upper body swollen beyond recognition.
The wound in his abdomen, soaked in seawater, had turned white, and infection was only a matter of time.
He had also swallowed seawater and was barely breathing.
Logan first removed his diving suit and performed several first-aid measures on Simon Clark.
He didn't pull out the arrow because doing so would likely kill Simon Clark instantly.
Logan still had questions that needed answers; he couldn't let Simon Clark die so quickly.
"Ugh... ugh... argh!" Simon Clark spat out water and coughed violently, the movement aggravating his abdominal wound, causing him to writhe in pain on the ground.
Seeing Logan again, Simon Clark no longer had the arrogant and violent expression he once had. Instead, he pleaded:
"Spare me... I can give you a lot of money..."
"Why did you want to kill me?"
Simon Clark's eyes shifted.
"I didn't want to kill you..."
Logan's expression suddenly turned cold, and he pressed his hand into Simon Clark's abdominal wound, digging his fingers in.
"Ahhh!!" The excruciating pain contorted Simon Clark's face, making him convulse and scream.
Logan waited for Simon Clark to recover slightly, then asked again:
"Why did you want to kill me? My patience is limited."
This time, Simon Clark didn't dare lie:
"You... you exposed Richard Li's scandal online last time, which dragged my father's company down with it, causing the stock to plummet for a week straight... I... I just wanted to teach you a lesson."
Simon Clark didn't dare to admit that he wanted to kill Logan.
"Then why did you kill my father?"
Simon Clark's expression changed.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean, your father?"
"Three years ago, when you were inspecting the factory, you poured a drink into the machine, causing an explosion that killed an electrical engineer on the spot. Do I need to help you recall?"
Logan's voice was as cold as December's frost as he placed his hand on Simon Clark's abdomen again.
Simon Clark trembled uncontrollably with fear:
"No, no, no, I'll talk, I'll talk!"
"I didn't know your father. It was my dad who made me do it. The guilty should be punished; you should go after my dad. Please, let me go!"
Logan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You're saying your dad made you do it? Why?"
Simon Clark swallowed hard and said:
"Because he had his eye on your mom for a long time and wanted to take her for himself, but that b... that woman refused, saying cheating would ruin her reputation. So my dad ordered me to kill that engineer..."
The truth was even crueler than Logan had imagined—his own mother was the one who caused his father's death.
And the mastermind behind it was the chairman of Tianqi New Energy Co., Ltd., the man who, in his previous life, controlled the entire Harbor City during the apocalypse!
As Logan's eyes grew more terrifying, Simon Clark tried to defend himself:
"I was forced! If I didn't do it, my dad would strip me of my inheritance rights. He has several other sons out there!"
At that moment, the sound of a yacht engine could be heard in the distance, and Simon Clark's eyes gleamed with joy and a hint of malice.
"One last question."
Logan leaned closer to Simon Clark.
"Ask, ask! I promise to tell you everything."
Simon Clark's overwhelming desire to survive filled his eyes with hope.
He wished Logan would ask a few more questions to give his men time to rescue him.
"What does hell look like? Why don't you go see for me?"
Logan's eyes were filled with killing intent as he pulled the arrow from Simon Clark's abdomen and viciously plunged it into Simon Clark's heart!
As the engine noise grew closer, Simon Clark's eyes were filled with unwillingness and venom.
No!! He couldn't die!!
He still had a glorious life ahead, endless money to spend, and countless women to enjoy!
To die at the hands of an ant he wanted to toy with and exact revenge on—how could he be willing!!
The intense desire to survive brought a moment of clarity back to Simon Clark's already fading eyes.
Seeing the look in Simon Clark's eyes, Logan prepared to strike again, but at that moment, he felt a prickling sensation on the back of his neck!
Logan quickly rolled to the ground, and at the same time, a loud gunshot rang out.
The bullet hit the spot where Logan had been standing, sending sand flying!
It was a sniper rifle!
If he hadn't dodged, that shot would have hit him in the head!
A chill ran through Logan's heart as he turned to see the yacht already within 200 meters.
Seven dark gun barrels were pointed at him, spitting out a string of fire.
Logan dodged left and right but was still hit in the arm by a handgun bullet.
Without daring to stay, Logan quickly ran toward the forest ahead!
Once in the woods, the intense sense of danger finally lessened.
His hands and feet were scratched by brambles and weeds, leaving bloody marks, but he didn't stop and continued running deeper into the dense forest.
