The crewmate, John, felt somewhat panicked. He had just been promoted from a sailor to third mate of the ship this year. He had finally gained a decent life, but if something happened to the Wainwright daughter while he was on duty, nobody could stop the Wainwrights' wrath from coming down on him.John looked at Marc uneasily, and sure enough, Marc became far from as gentle as he appeared.Marc exploded in rage. "If you can't find my daughter, I'll feed you to the fish!""But Mr. Marc, Ms. Lucy might’ve jumped into the sea. After all, the waves were huge—"Marc’s Vital Energy surged as he slapped John.After rolling across the ground for a while, John managed to get up while holding his face. Judging from the condensed Vital Energy, Marc was a formidable Grandmaster."I'll give you one last chance. Heaven help me if you don’t find my Lucy!" Marc scowled.John felt hopeless. His surrounding crew members also felt uneasy. Although they felt that this matter had nothing to do with
The Rollins family, Larissa’s maternal family, was the top family in the southeast region in terms of combat abilities. The Wainwrights, on the other hand, were a scholarly family that later ventured into business and established a sizable fortune. Although Marc was not as ignorant in the art of fighting as his ancestors, he was still no match for Larissa, the most outstanding successor of the Rollinses in the past century.Plop!Marc fell into the water and disappeared from sight.Sammy murmured, "Madam, Mr. Marc…”"Hmph! If he doesn’t find Lucy, he might as well not come up. Nobody is to interfere!" Larissa huffed.Although Larissa was dressed in luxurious attire, she looked like a wild beast of the wildest jungle when she was upset. Others lowered their heads, trembling in fear. An aura of dominance enveloped the entire deck, and no one dared to speak.A few seconds later, Larissa frowned as someone appeared on the sea surface two to three hundred meters away. The person wasn'
John was blocking Adrian's path. The latter had intended to blend into the crowd and take a downwind ship to Obscura. However, this plan had gone up in smoke."Didn’t you see me coming out of the sea?" Adrian said plainly.John was speechless. Of course, he saw Adrian come out of the sea, but no normal person would do such a thing."You should be a guest of our ship, but I'm in charge of the upper-class cabins and I've never seen you before." John’s confusion stemmed from this.Although the possibility was very slim, it couldn't be ruled out that someone had plotted a sinister hero-rescues-damsel plan against the Wainwright daughter. In the chaos of the storm, this person might have relied on their fighting skills to launch an attack from the middle and lower-class cabins, thus dragging Lucy into the water and then rescuing her, all to achieve his goals.The key question was how this young man appeared in the middle of the ocean and rescued Lucy. Only guests from the upper-class r
The surrounding passengers sighed in relief."Lucy’s fine, Howard. I'll stay with her. All of you should head back inside. The situation is still unstable, so everyone should be cautious," Larissa said politely. "Okay.”Most of the people in the first-class cabin knew each other, Even if they did not, they had heard each other's name. Many people looked at Larissa with curiosity and awe. When they heard her words, they dispersed one after another.The man dressed in white was called Howard Grantt. He also reluctantly left the deck with his entourage.After feeling that the outsiders had all left, Lucy opened one eye. Seeing her mother glaring at her coldly, she felt a pang of guilt. Sitting up on the waterlogged deck, she looked around and asked curiously, "Did you save me?"Larissa hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Who else would it be?""Hmph! Why bother saving me? It would have been better if I died!" Lucy said.Sammy replied, "What are you talking about, Ms. Lucy? Ever
"We've checked the ship’s manifest and found no record of you among the passengers," John said, looking at the young man before him whose clothes had somehow already dried.Adrian pondered for a moment, then nodded. "You might not believe me, but I'm from the frontier force. My airship crashed, and after drifting on the sea surface, I saw your giant ship. Then, I saw someone fall into the water, so I saved her."John was stunned. He had not expected Adrian to come up with such a ridiculous excuse. Surviving a plane crash, drifting who knows how far, and finding their giant ship? That was next to impossible. Even Firnen, the Great Commander of Silverboa, couldn't accomplish such a feat."If you're from the frontier force, then where's your proof of identity?" John questioned."I lost it." Adrian shrugged.The door of the control room then swung open, and a middle-aged man with a stubble walked in. Anthony, the first mate of the ship, looked at John and growled, "John! What happened
Adrian noted that the two men were Grandmasters. It seemed that the owner of this ship was indeed formidable. However, he did not care whether he was in the upper or lower decks. As long as he could reach Obscura City, how he got there did not make much difference to him.After Adrian was taken away, John asked, "Sir Anthony, that guy did save Ms. Lucy. If the Wainwrights ask—""That’s none of your concern. Remember who owns this ship," Anthony interrupted.John paused for a moment, then realization suddenly dawned upon him. "As expected of you, sir. I was too narrow-sighted,” he praised.Anthony smiled and patted John's shoulder. "You just got promoted to third mate, yet you caused such trouble for me. Your career should have ended here, but don't worry. As long as there are no repercussions from above, stick with me and behave. When I become the captain, I'll save you a spot on my crew.""Yes, sir! Thank you, sir!" John hurriedly said.…"Kid, are you really from the frontier
"What are you looking at?" Adrian responded provocatively after hearing the other person's taunting tone.The man narrowed his eyes, then got up from his bed. The other four in the cabin also gathered around and stood beside Adrian's bed."Where are you from, kid?"They were unable to figure out Adrian's background. Generally, people dressed like him would not be squeezed into the lower deck like them. On top of that, he was even more arrogant than them."Hah, I came from above," Adrian replied with a light chuckle, causing the five men to exchange glances.The scar-faced young man then asked, "What are you doing here?""Does it concern you?" Adrian responded with a smirk.For individuals from the lower strata of society, preaching about morality and righteousness was useless. What mattered to them was the strength of one's fists. As long as Adrian displayed a more domineering attitude than them, they would not dare to mess with him.As expected, Adrian's attitude made them war
The scar-faced young man was stunned. However, he soon regained his senses and said in a low voice, "So what if you are? There are plenty of people in the lower deck just like us. Can you handle all of us alone? And besides, if you're from the frontier force, you should at least be in the middle deck. You shouldn’t be here bothering us." He confidently stepped forward, motioning to his companions behind him. If Adrian caused trouble, they would all jump in together to take him down. With so many people on the lower deck, losing one or two people would not make a difference.Adrian saw the man’s gestures and scoffed. He was not interested in meddling with them, so he shook his head and said, "You've got it wrong. I'm not looking for trouble with you guys."The five of them breathed a sigh of relief. However, Adrian's next words immediately put them on edge."I suppose you guys are involved in smuggling, right?"All of them went wide-eyed from shock.One of them yelled, "You must
