"That's mine! Give it back to me!"
Snapping out of his thoughts, Raigon furrowed his brows.
"What was that?" He mused upon hearing that voice.
Raigon's legs were sprawled along the shores of one of Lord Howe Island's pristine beaches. It was his first time to step foot on an unknown territory.
But he was not here to enjoy the scenery, the women nor the leisure activities.
He was here to investigate a case that would cause another bloodbath in their City again, which he vowed would not happen again as long as he is alive.
Raigon was contemplating whether what he was doing is right and justified when this commotion pierces his thoughts.
The sky was already turning dark but as he narrowed his eyes, he noticed a tall slender woman in a red swimsuit with long auburn wavy hair stopping a man from grabbing something that is hers.
"So you're a fighter. I'll give it back to you in one condition. Come with me to my hotel room."
The man retorted to the woman as he forced her to come with him
Raigon stood up and was about to go and help her out when the woman suddenly flipped him over in one swift move.
His jaw dropped open as the woman steamed out and crossed her arm.
"What's mine is mine." She flipped her hair and strutted away.
"I love her to be mine." Raigon chuckled in amusement.
He was about to walk away as it was already time for him to return back to their land when another voice screamed out from the other side of the shore.
"Help!!"
He squinted his eyes to see what was happening and saw a throng of people with flashlights directed toward the middle of the ocean.
The sea with its angry waves had overturned a small boat attempting to eat its passengers alive.
Raigon clenched and unclench his fist as he pondered whether he would go and help out or not. He was only in disguise and was vigilant of people who might caught him if he would make a grand move.
"They can handle it on their own."
He resolved to himself with a hint of doubt in his voice as he observed that several people were already going to the scene to help.
However, the waves seemed to be enraged as it tossed the boat over like a piece of flimsy paper.
"The emergency unit is on the other side of the isle! I think they won't be here in an hour!"
"What should we do? With that look of the ocean, saving those people is suicide!"
Two men passed him by as they also dashed to the terrible scenario.
Raigon drew in a deep breath and bolted to the scene.
As he was running, he could see another figure, a woman was also dashing to the spot where he was going.
"Is she the woman a while ago?"
Raigon contemplated as he ran.
His earlier fast pace unconsciously slowed down to watch that beauty in her tracks.
It is not because she wore a two-piece crimson red bikini nor her graceful strides as she flew.
There was something in her aura that made his heart palpitate.
"Call the lifeguard! Call 911!"
She at once yelled with an authoritative sound.
She commanded the spectators as she pulled her hair up in a ponytail.
'Yes, it was her!'
By this time, he was a few feet from her when she dove at the speed of light and waded to the middle of the vast ocean.
'Wait... What was she thinking?!'
He stopped and examined the condition of the seawater.
From where he was, he saw a boat lying helpless on its side. A female was waving her feeble arms while holding onto a piece of a lifebuoy.
In addition, there was another head bobbing in the water. It was a hopeless case for the poor victims.
He glanced at her again. She swam, heading towards the troubling scene.
The waves were comparable to horses going berserk as they reared up then crashed on her.
"Didn't she know how dangerous it was?!"
Raigon's admiration dissipated as lightning.
"Give me a rope!"
His strong and angry tone thundered through the raging surge of waters. Their roars turned into meowing kittens.
The bystanders shivered, not by the chilly breeze but dreaded adding to the wrath of this man in front of them.
His physical impression intimidated them as he appeared resembling the king of the ocean.
"H-here it is."
Someone overcame his fear and found a rope that he weak-kneed gave to Raigon.
He grabbed it at top speed.
"Hold this still and tie it well!"
He instructed before he plunged into the waters.
The surfs stayed away in fright and bowed to him as he pierced through the depths of the deep.
The ocean knew him more than anyone. It was justified to name him the king of the sea.
"Help! Help! I'm over here!"
The lady in the lifebuoy called out to him as he drew close.
Raigon was looking for the mysterious monarch but there were no traces of her anywhere.
"She said you had better rescue me first. She's responsible for the other."
The woman in the lifesaver stuttered as if she understood what his eyes were searching for.
He checked the condition of the lady. Her body was shaking without control.
The waters have drenched her for hours. She was shuddering with the icy whiff of the heartless sea.
'A few more minutes in this turbulent weather might make her collapse. But where is she?'
Raigon dived underwater near the vicinity of the woman.
He searched for signs of her one last chance as waves kept coming at them, but he couldn't see any.
Raigon looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and decided.
"Okay, let's go."
'With the way she carried herself, I just have to trust her she would make it. Even for just a few minutes until I get back, please stay alive!'
He swiftly put the rope on the woman's lifesaver and grabbed the other end. He swam as fast as a sea serpent towards the shore.
As soon as they reached the edge, he asked the bystanders to take care of the lady.
He immediately bolted to the waters to rescue the other two.
"Whoooo!"
He froze and stared with wide eyes as the crowd clapped their hands and cheered. He was seeing two heads advancing towards the shore.
One was with a lifted chin, chest out, and shoulders back. She rose from its depths like a lioness who just triumphed in rescuing her cub from its predator.
He tilted his head as his eyes narrowed.
"Would I be mad or glad?"
He has never seen a woman as audacious, yet honorable, as this one.
Raigon inhaled sharply and put his arms behind his back as he approached them.
As he did so, he noticed something familiar about her.
