"Ye Chen, Saul's awake, but... the sea is vast, and he's a giant. He's too big to fit on our ship. Besides, he was frozen for over a decade, and his body's still stiff. He can't move freely yet. We can't just make him swim all the way back, can we?"
Lucci walked up to Ye Chen and pointed at Saul, who was still lying on the ground nearby. His voice was full of concern.
Ye Chen handed Lucci the Seastone handcuffs. He glanced at Saul and sighed, worry gradually clouding his face.
