Anyway, he had already prepared a backup plan.
The sea water calmly submerged him; his hair tie, which had held his ponytail, was lost during his plunge into the sea, leaving his high silver hair loose and drifting apart amidst the gentle ripples in the sea water.
His coat was soaked by the sea water, the black hem rising in a beautiful curve.
Gin closed his eyes quietly, feeling the sea water from all directions, feeling a rare sense of peace.
He knew he was falling.
A peaceful descent.
In the midst of tranquility, in the stagnation of thought, he felt the ripples of the Sea water not far away.
Someone jumped down after him.
..
That person swam toward him, for a human swimming in water, that person's speed was very fast, appearing to be quite a skilled swimmer.
Gin felt the ripples around him, his thoughts drifting aimlessly.
He quickly swam to Gin's side, grabbing Gin's arm with an unquestionable attitude, pulled him upward with a force that almost felt like it would snap Gin's arm.
That person was very forceful.
Even through the soaked clothes, Gin could feel the strength coming from that man's hand. His palm pressed tightly against his arm, fingers clenched firmly, with his fingertips nearly digging into his flesh.
It was an almost forceful posture.
What is the need for it?
Actually.. it's not really necessary, is it?
Gin thought.
I have no desire to die at all.
Even if I wanted to die, I wouldn't need you to save me!
In his nearly calm heart, which had been devoid of even a single ripple, a sensation approaching absurdity surged at this moment, the slightly furrowed brow of the Silver-haired man smoothed out.
Gin wanted to say something sarcastic, however, being in the sea at this moment, he estimated that opening his mouth would only result in a mouthful of salty sea water.
He helplessly abandoned this plan.
But seriously, this is the deep sea area!
Jumping down so recklessly like that, does he not want to live anymore?
Gin criticized him in her mind with almost childish disdain, showing utter contempt for that guy's "recklessness."
However, with such a complex state of mind, he slowly, slowly opened his eyes.
..
When Akai Shuichi brought him up to the sea surface, the sea breeze was somewhat boisterous.
Gin subconsciously inhaled the air from the sea—this was the real sea—and was caught off guard, choking on it.
The Silver-haired man lowered his head and began to cough, his long hair, soaked by the sea water, clinging slightly to his forehead, with crystal-clear droplets rolling down from above, sliding across his cheeks, softly disappearing into the sea.
Those indifferent Green eyes were tinged with a physiological mist of Water vapor, a few droplets still clung to his long eyelashes, rolling into the man's Green eyes, causing him to close his eyes in discomfort.
This rare sight of such disheveled appearance caused the man opposite, Akai Shuichi, to be slightly stunned, he forced himself to swallow the urge to curse.
The FBI elite looked at his Nemesis with a hint of helplessness; however, he subconsciously released his grip under that person's cold and piercing gaze.
Gin sank further into silence.
Akai Shuichi hurriedly grabbed him, refusing to let his efforts go to waste.
"Are you crazy?!" the Black-haired man [male] shouted sternly.
He was also a tough person, it was just that this tough side of him was rarely displayed before Gin.
The Silver-haired man slightly lifted his eyes, reached out to wipe his face, brushed aside his bangs.
"No matter how you look at it, you're the one who jumped down with me, so you're the crazy one, right?" Gin countered coldly.
“Do you want to die?” Akai Shuichi sneered. “Since when did you become such a cowardly person?!”
Anger, panic, disappointment surged into his brain in an instant; if the current circumstances had allowed it, he would have nearly wanted to land a heavy punch on Gin.
Gin curled his lips, a hint of mockery appearing in his eyes. "Do you think it's possible?"
He felt very tired, but he had absolutely no Plan to give up on life.
Akai Shuichi eyed him with hesitation, then looked at the Yacht that was already drifting further away, a faint trace of worry appearing in his gaze: "Heine has already left; how do you intend to get back?"
"I remember, you told me you only notified Heine?" The Black-haired FBI agent's Green eyes stared fixedly at Gin, his tone carrying a hint of grinding teeth.
Ah.. yes." Gin said indifferently. "I only notified Heine to come to Island to pick me up.
“So you plan to buy more on the way back?” He wasn't sure if it was Gin's delusion, but he detected a hint of ferocity in Akai Shuichi's tone: “Swim back?!”
The last sentence was almost a harsh interrogation.
Gin showed no sign of panic.
The wind on the sea surface was relatively gentle for now, but having just been fished out of the sea after falling in, the water vapor on their bodies had not yet dried; as the wind blew, a sliver of chill rose into their hearts.
Swimming back was clearly unrealistic. Setting aside whether the two had that much stamina, the temperature of the sea water and the speed of human hypothermia were both insurmountable mountains standing in their way.
However, when faced with the questioning, Gin gave a casual smile. "My swimming skills are quite good."
“Gin—!” Akai Shuichi was nearly infuriated by his nonchalant attitude.
Normally, he would have naturally thought that Gin had a backup plan, but the impact of everything that had happened in the previous moment was simply too great.
The scene of the silver-haired man leaping from the ship surfaced in Akai's mind, along with the image of him closing his eyes and sinking into the sea, refusing to fade away.
This almost gave Akai Shuichi the illusion that Gin really didn't want to live anymore.
But I have not thought so." The Silver-haired man knew when to stop, his gaze indifferent. "So there is no need for you to jump down with me.
"This behavior is truly foolish," Gin criticized without hesitation.
Akai Shuichi let out a cold laugh, not expecting to hear anything good from that man.
"You'd better just shut up," he said coldly.
Lest I be angered to death by you.
“I'm shutting up. How would you know the way to be rescued?” Gin gave him a cold look.
After a pause, he still couldn't hold it back. A surge of nameless anger drove him to bring up the past, he mocked in a cold, heavy voice, "Do you have no brain? How could the FBI recruit an idiot like you?!"
This kind of finger-pointing behavior clearly left Akai Shuichi very dissatisfied: "Even if you are faking your death, there is no need to jump into the sea in the Deep Sea Area!"
Moreover, you even closed your eyes and stayed motionless after jumping! What kind of move was that?!
Do you want to turn a fake death into a real one?!
"You know this is the Deep Sea Area too? You—" Gin was also provoked to anger. His personality was inherently cold and ruthless, having held a high position in the Black Organization for many years, almost no one dared to provoke him. Now, in a rare moment of harsh words, a hint of murderous aura actually surfaced on his grim face.
However, the rebuttal was cut off halfway through.
A cool and sweet female voice drifted over, mingled with the slight bitterness of the sea breeze and the faint sound of water, to the point that the helplessness in her words was almost masked.
Can you guys stop arguing?
The black-haired woman, whose pale face remained as beautiful as a painting, stood gracefully on the speedboat. Sunlight spilled over him, making his features even more dazzling, his blue eyes, which seemed to hold the essence of a misty sky, now harbored a hint of indistinguishable melancholy.
Sheila tilted his head slightly and said speechlessly, "How about getting on the boat first?"

Chapter 183: Chapter 167 Friendship (?) Face-Breaking Punch..
The two people pulled up by Sheila looked quite disheveled at first glance.
Gin's long hair was tangled into a mess, bringing with it splashes of sea water that dripped steadily down his silver hair and onto the boat. In just two short minutes, it had gathered into a small puddle.
The silver-haired man's eyes and brows were covered in water vapor, giving him a momentary appearance of hazy weakness. However, the man's gaze remained cold and sharp; one look from his green eyes would stir a chill.
Sea water rolled down his eyelashes, tracing paths across his fair cheeks before landing on his slightly pale lips.
Gin tasted the salty, bitter flavor on his lips and tongue.
He raised an eyebrow slightly and looked toward Akai Shuichi.
The FBI elite was currently leaning against the boat, propping himself up with one hand, his green eyes flashing with a hint of coldness, appearing as if his wrath had not yet subsided. A few strands of slightly curly black hair clung to Akai Shuichi's forehead near his temples, with several crystal-clear droplets of water slowly rolling down.
His clothes were also completely soaked. Of course, after being submerged in the sea for a while, it would be abnormal not to be wet.
Akai Shuichi took off his coat and tossed it aside. Water ran down his wrist, which he shook off with indifference.
The man raised her hand to wipe her face, wiping away the droplets of water about to seep into her eyes, then slightly turned her head to look at Gin.
His eyes seemed to contain a blazing flame, at the very core of that flame was Gin.
A silence fell.
In this silence, which felt almost like the calm before a storm, they gazed at each other, their eyes swirling with emotions like lightning and thunder, an invisible tacit understanding hidden beneath.
