Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1430: Chapter 1415: Masked Hero

”You... didn’t you say it would take three hours to take effect?”

Having witnessed their companion’s tragic death firsthand, none of these patrol officers could remain calm. Someone couldn’t help but voice their doubts about the truth of what Huo Sining had previously said.

Huo Sining smiled: ”It is indeed three hours, but there’s a prerequisite. You must not eat or drink. Once you do, it will stimulate the drug you just ingested, accelerating the hatching of the larva, causing the poison to take effect prematurely, just like your companion just now...”

As she said this, Huo Sining made sure to point to the patrol officer who was already on the brink of death.

Upon hearing Huo Sining’s words, the patrol officers’ expressions changed instantly. The young officer, who had been stubborn until this moment, suddenly didn’t think of seizing the boat and throwing people overboard. He just hoped to get the antidote quickly and escape from the clutches of this mysterious masked man.

”I’ll talk... I’ll talk, we’re from Country F’s Maritime Patrol Team. My number is 1735. Two nights ago, this cargo ship from Huaxia Country passed through the Nan Sea when our patrol team encountered it. Because we had prior information from an informant that there was a batch of valuable goods on this ship, our captain ordered us directly to seize this ship...”

No one dared to gamble with their life. Realizing that if they didn’t speak, they might end up like their companion, none of these patrol officers dared to stay silent any longer. Even if they were blamed, detained, or received legal penalties, they had to make sure they were alive to face it. At the very least, prison was better than the threat to their life!

Just thinking about the unknown number of larva ingested, which could hatch at any moment upon ingesting food and water, consuming their blood, gnawing at their intestines, and finally exploding, was enough to send shivers down their spine.

In such circumstances, who could remain tough? These patrol officers hadn’t received any special training; they weren’t tough guys. A few words from Huo Sining were enough to completely shatter their psychological defenses, making them scramble to confess everything.

After explaining, Huo Sining replayed the recorded video once more. Satisfied that there were no problems, she nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: ”Very well, at least you have some sense.”

Then without another word, Huo Sining untied the cargo ship’s detained old employees, gave the patrol officers the antidote, and turned to the young, strong crew members, saying:

”Lock these people inside and make sure they are watched carefully, so they don’t cause any more trouble.”

The crew members gratefully said to Huo Sining: ”Sir, we truly have to thank you. Today, without your help, we’d probably be buried at sea. May I ask your name, sir?”

Huo Sining smiled: ”Don’t bother trying to find out my details. I was called here by your boss, Li Jun. He knows the details. Your task is to sail the ship back as soon as possible and hand over the cargo according to the original plan. Don’t investigate further!”

To deal with these patrol officers, Huo Sining not only took action but also took down the two guards in the cargo hold while subduing the patrol officers. She then went back to the cargo hold to put back the materials.

After finishing these, in front of the patrol officers and crew, Huo Sining did not hide her actions and directly jumped from the deck into the sea, amidst the gasps of the crew, and disappeared into the vast ocean.

The crew was dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened. Some crew members even thought Huo Sining had accidentally fallen and rolled up their sleeves, ready to rescue him.

However, just a few seconds after Huo Sining jumped into the sea, a white figure suddenly leaped out of the water, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky.

Immediately after, a clear whistle sounded. The masked man who had jumped into the water was astonishingly standing on the back of a grown dolphin, steering it smoothly and swiftly through the sea.

Witnessing such a scene, everyone was flabbergasted, standing on the deck for a long time until that figure turned into a black dot and disappeared from view.

The old captain, who had seen all kinds of marine wonders, finally murmured: ”This person is truly a sea spirit. If not seen with one’s own eyes, who could imagine someone could really ride a dolphin and travel the sea? This scene is more fantastical than something out of a movie.”

After the cargo ship successfully returned to the port, it wasn’t long before the old captain was interviewed by a reporter, where he recounted everything they saw and heard during the Nan Sea peril.

Though the old captain was of Chinese descent, he was greatly influenced by Western civilization and had a profound and stubborn appreciation for heroism. After experiencing this, he suddenly had a whimsical idea: to write a book about this experience, featuring the masked hero who came from the sky and saved their entire crew, painting this unseen hero into an American-style figure like Spider-Man.

The old captain’s proposal was not only warmly supported by the crew but also attracted considerable attention from the American public.

Huo Sining never anticipated that her behavior while in disguise would lead to such a humorous misunderstanding by the old captain. She wasn’t a person of large stature, and the mask and disguise were merely to prevent others from guessing her identity. Little did she know this behavior mistakenly led the old man to completely believe she was a man, even embellishing her as a heroic giant in his words.

Language easily leads to rich imagination. The old man’s description instantly magnified her image, causing everyone to further deviate from the truth. Even Li Jun harbored no doubts.

No one would have expected that the person who saved the entire ship of Huaxia crew members from grave danger was a Huaxia woman!

Countless reporters tried to uncover the truth. Some even deliberately took trips to Nan Sea, hoping to witness the dolphin-riding masked hero’s true majesty as described by the old sailor, but they were destined to return empty-handed.
