A young man immediately stepped forward in response. A speedboat was lowered from the cargo ship, and the three men headed straight for the Mysterious Item.
In less than a minute, they had reached the Mysterious Item.
Fortunately, the sea was very calm at the moment. Otherwise, they would never have been able to hold the speedboat alongside it.
