Naturally, Xavier wouldn’t lose such an important position.

"I want Skylar to be my diving partner," Santiago ignored Xavier and said to the coach calmly. His words shocked

both Xavier and Leia, Xavier even more so.

"What the hell are you doing? You’re trying to advance by retreating? What kind of strategy is that?" Xavier glared

at Santiago and demanded, "Why did you pick Skylar? We've finally got a chance to fight each other head-on, so

why are you backing out now?"

Santiago glanced at Xavier in disdain and murmured, "I'll leave Lei in your hands for now, but you have to make

sure she's safe."

Puzzled, Xavier watched as Santiago dove into the sea with Skylar after they had changed into their diving suits.

"He's mad!" Xavier scoffed, peeved that he was the only one on this metaphorical battlefield. Santiago didn't even

want to fight against him. He sighed and walked over to a dazed Leia, then said casually, "Let's get going then, dive

buddy."

"I must be very unlucky to be paired up with you," Leia grumbled, upset that she couldn't go diving with Santiago.

She had wanted to explore the sea with him, hand in hand, but now she was stuck with Xavier. How could she

entrust her life to an unreliable playboy like him? Why had Santiago backed away when they had just confessed

their feelings to each other?

"Hey, don't look down on me! I was once a diving champion, okay? Wait and see, I'll find that moonstone for you!"

They dived into the sea one by one, and were spellbound. It was like a whole other world, and they could see many

fish and coral reefs. If they were lucky, they might even encounter a jackfish storm.

Leia adjusted her mouthpiece and slowly dived deeper. As her dive buddy, Xavier followed her closely, keeping an

eye on her. Santiago was also a few meters away from them, guarding them. He had kept his ear surgery hidden

from the public, and as he dived deeper, his eardrums hurt terribly. Dismayed, he didn't dive any deeper.

As Leia dived deeper, she suddenly saw a coral reef with many oysters. Some of them were slightly open, and she

could see the warm luster of pearls gleaming inside them. Leia stared at the coral reef in awe, and suddenly saw

something shining in the corner of the reef between some stones.

"Look!" Leia couldn't speak clearly because of her mouthpiece, so she waved at Xavier excitedly. "It's the

moonstone!"
