Who to Thank?

Storm... Danger...

The captain panicked, thinking that Su Yuan hadn't understood him.

Immediately begin repeating what you want to say in your less-than-fluent English.

Zhao Ru hesitated for a moment.

I don't know how to explain this to the captain.

Just say there's no danger?

But looking at the captain's confident demeanor, Zhao Ru felt that the other party probably wouldn't believe her.

"Don't say too much, just tell him to start the boat."

Bai Tangwen said from the side.

Although he didn't know why Su Yuan was certain there was no danger.

But if someone as important as Su Yuan dares to board the ship, what is he afraid of?

"Okay..." Zhao Ru thought for a moment and then began to persuade the captain.

A few minutes later, the captain was persuaded. He stood there for a moment and then boarded the ship as well, and the other two crew members also boarded to prepare.

Bai Tangwen and Zhao Ru boarded the ship together and found Su Yuan sitting at the bow, with the Black Gun Case on his back beside him.

"Boss."

Bai Tangwen stepped forward and whispered to the leader, "We're about to set sail. Should we go back to our rooms...?"

Bai Tangwen meant that it was dangerous outside, especially at the bow of the ship. Putting aside everything else, the seabirds in the sky might even hurt people.

"This is fine."

Su Yuan said calmly.

Sitting at the bow of the boat offers the widest view.

As for danger?

With his current strength, what danger could he possibly encounter?

Moreover, Su Yuan had already inquired with the Grey Mirror beforehand and was assured that he would not encounter any danger.

"Yes."

Bai Tangwen said in a low voice.

"Boss, the captain said he would turn back immediately if there was any sign of a storm."

Zhao Ru said from the side.

She was able to convince the captain by guaranteeing that there would be no sea storms, and if one did, they could return immediately.

Without this guarantee, the captain would not set sail, since encountering a storm at sea is a near-death experience for anyone.

"There will definitely be storms."

Su Yuan glanced at Zhao Ru, "But there won't be any danger."

The Grey Mirror had already provided answers to many of the situations encountered on the sea voyage, as well as solutions.

The storm... will be encountered five hours and thirty-two minutes after setting sail.

However, this storm will not pose any danger to them, and they will be able to weather it safely.

"Ah?"

Zhao Ru blinked.

The boss said there might be a storm, but no danger?

Zhao Ru didn't quite understand the meaning of those words. It's common sense that if you encounter a storm in the deep sea, no one can guarantee that they will survive.

"The boss probably hasn't truly experienced a sea storm and thinks it's just a small wave..."

Zhao Ru thought to herself that although she had never experienced a storm at sea, she had heard others talk about how terrifying it was. The apocalyptic scene of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart was something that would leave an indelible psychological shadow if one experienced it once.

"When the real storm arrives, we'll send the captain back."

Zhao Ru thought to herself.

Just then...

The ship slowly started moving and headed towards the depths of the sea.

In the first few hours.

Everything was calm and the ocean stretched as far as the eye could see, a truly magnificent sight.

But as time passed, the once bright sky gradually turned gloomy.

In the distance, dark clouds gathered, and flashes of pale blue lightning streaked across the sky, sending chills down one's spine.

"The storm, the storm is really coming."

Upon seeing this, Zhao Ru's expression changed slightly. This scene was indeed a storm at sea. The captain was indeed experienced, having predicted the storm before setting sail.

"Boss."

Bai Tangwen gazed into the distance at the dark, overcast sky, then whispered, "What should we do now?"

He glanced at Su Yuan, then looked back at the ship's control room.

At this point, the captain was already planning to turn back.

While storms at sea are dangerous, there are generally no problems if you get away from them in time.

Do you have a gun?

Su Yuan asked casually.

"Have."

Bai Tangwen touched his waist.

In other countries, owning a gun is normal.

"Press a gun against the captain's head and make him keep sailing in the direction I give him."

"He will be compensated ten times the cost of this sea voyage afterward."

Su Yuan said.

This is also the simplest and quickest way.

Su Yuan knew through the Grey Mirror that there would be no danger from the sea storm.

But the others didn't know, especially the captain, who figured it was better to threaten them than to waste time explaining.

This is also the most effective way.

"Good."

Bai Tangwen did not hesitate.

He immediately turned and walked to the ship's control room.

A short while later.

The ship, which was turning around, resumed its course and headed towards the distant, cloud-covered horizon.

It's obvious.

Given the two possible outcomes: dying now or dying later.

The captain chose to wait and die.

As we get closer to the storm area.

The ship began to rock violently, clearly due to the impact of the underwater waves.

In this situation...

The two crew members were already huddled in a corner, trembling with fear.

Under normal circumstances, the impact would increase over time until it completely engulfs the ship.

Compared to the true power of heaven and earth, humanity is truly insignificant.

Boom! Wave after wave crashed in, rocking the ship more and more violently.

Even Zhao Ru's face showed fear.

Bai Tangwen's right hand, gripping the pistol, trembled slightly.

Once the ship is swallowed up, let alone an ordinary person like him, even Grandmaster of Baodan could die if he's unlucky.

In the boundless ocean, with no landing point and no supplies, even if Grandmaster of Baodan doesn't drown, he might still be devoured by sea monsters due to declining physical strength and condition.

Rumble-

Another huge wave crashed in, and the entire ship rocked violently once again.

"No!"

The captain looked desperate and had already closed his eyes, awaiting death.

However.

Just then...

The crashing waves quickly calmed down, and a ray of bright sunlight suddenly shone into the overcast sky.

Then, the dark clouds dispersed, the waves calmed, and the rain stopped.

"The storm... has the storm passed?"

Upon witnessing this scene, the two crew members were overjoyed and embraced each other, grateful to have survived such a natural disaster.

The two crew members immediately knelt down, closed their eyes, and thanked the "Sea God" for his protection.

In their view, their survival this time was due to the mysterious Sea God.

"I... I survived?"

The captain was equally overjoyed; just moments before, he had thought he was doomed.

"Thank you, Sea God..."

The captain also knelt on the ground, offering heartfelt prayers of thanks to the Sea God.

The storm is over...

Bai Tangwen himself.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of what Su Yuan had said not long ago: there would be a storm, but no danger.

"Aren't you going to thank 'Sea God'?"

The captain, seeing that Bai Tangwen was still standing there, couldn't help but remind him.

"Thank you, Sea God?"

Bai Tangwen was somewhat confused.

It's to thank the Sea God.

Or should I thank Su Yuan?
