It all happened so fast. By the time anyone could react, the woman and the child in her arms had been yanked out.
Tang Mo glanced over, her expression unchanged as she continued to guide the sphere of light upward.
She had given all the necessary warnings, but when greed took over, there was nothing anyone could do.
As the saying goes, fate decides life and death.
Just then, Ah Bao moved. He reacted in a flash, leaping out without a moment's hesitation.
Ah Bao was an excellent swimmer. Within a few strokes, he had snatched the child and turned back to grab the woman's arm.
The aquatic creature's tentacle was wrapped tightly around the woman's arm. Ah Bao tugged, but couldn't free her.
After hesitating for barely a second, Ah Bao looked at the woman's terrified face, then let go. He returned to Tang Mo's sphere of light with the child.
Tang Mo had paused their ascent when she saw Ah Bao leave the sphere. Now, he was only a few meters away.
