"you!"

"you!!!"

At that moment, Zhou Hang felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation.

He dared not say or do anything, for fear that Zheng Hao would blast him away with a single shot!

He stood behind Hangping, feeling frustrated, his eyes bloodshot!

"Zheng Hao!!!"

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river! Never underestimate a young person's potential!!!"

He uttered that profound statement, then gasped for breath, but did nothing...

Hangping, however, with a dark expression, slowly knelt down on both knees.

"Young Master Zheng..."

"I know, I know it's wrong for us to do business behind the Zheng family's back..."

"How about this... the thousand catties of Blue Fish Meat that my Zhou family brought along will be considered as an apology for this incident! What do you think?"

She looked at Zheng Hao humbly, and Zheng Hao smiled and relented.

"Alright!"

"However, I want you to deliver all three thousand catties of [Blue Fish Meat] to the Zheng family tonight!"

"otherwise..."

"You! How did you know we had three thousand jin?!"

"Heh~ So, just tell me, are you going to give it to me or not?"

"Deliver...deliver!!!"

With her fists clenched, did Hangping dare to say "no"?

Humiliation enveloped her, and she dared not move an inch.

"Heh~"

Looking at the group of people he had oppressed with amusement, Zheng Hao laughed.

What kind of bullshit turtle man is this?

What does unwavering loyalty mean?

damn it!

Isn't it great to be a villain?

Those three thousand catties of [Blue Fish Meat] were the foundation for Zhou Hang's takeoff in the [Mountain and Sea Region].

Now I've let him forcibly take it from me?

Does Zhou Hang dare to speak up?

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully seizing the protagonist Zhou Hang's start-up capital, significantly hindering Zhou Hang's initial progress!]

[You stole seven strands of the protagonist's Heavenly Dao fortune!]

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully suppressing the Liu family, cracking down on the protagonist's partner family, and halting the progress of the relationship between the protagonist and the female lead!]

[You stole three strands of the protagonist's Heavenly Dao fortune!]

Your SSS-rank talent "Dice of Fate" has a 10% increased awakening probability; current awakening probability: 54%.

"Heh~"

"I knew it..."

With his eyes narrowed, Zheng Hao's lips curled up even more.

So what if the protagonist can't be killed?

In the early stages, he didn't develop properly; he was just a machine for exploiting others!

"Zhou Hang! Liu Ruyan! Listen up!"

"You can be together however you want! It has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

"See you at the [First Sea Gathering]!"

"Second Aunt, let's go!"

Zheng Hao turned away, not even bothering to glance at the two men, leaving them slinking away in a corner of the deck.

"Boom!"

A dozen or so dark, cloud-like battleships slowly retreated from the Liu family compound, as if trampling on weeds.

More than a dozen ship girls had already surrounded the area outside the Liu family's waters.

Upon seeing the [Fire Cloud] emerge, a small, dark blue ice spike boat with the [Yang Family] sails slowly came to a stop.

The small boat was a smaller version of the [Purple and Green Sword Ship], and a young man with long hair reaching his shoulders stood on it, looking at Zheng Hao with a strange expression.

"Zheng Hao?"

"The attack on the Liu family just now—was it orchestrated by you?"

The young man was very surprised!

After all, Zheng Hao's reputation as a sycophant in the [Shan Hai Academy] is known to everyone!

Is it something he would do to bombard the Liu family today?

"Heh~"

"Yang Fan, this is a matter between the Zheng family and the Liu family! It's none of your Yang family's business!"

Zheng Hao wore a sour face and didn't like Yang Fan either.

The Yang family.

Although they are a reclusive family of navigators, solely focused on training outstanding ship girls and navigators... it is precisely because of this very setup that they recognized the potential of the protagonist, Zhou Hang, during a speed race...

Thus, they extended an olive branch to the protagonist Zhou Hang, becoming another powerful backer for him.

In other words, they... were also a necessary factor for Zhou Hang's takeoff.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"Haven't seen you for a few days, young master Zheng's temper has grown quite a bit?"

"Fine, fine! I've been fed up with your cowardly attitude for a long time! As long as you don't wipe out the entire Liu family today, I don't care!"

"The Smoke Ships are a unique type of ship girl in our Mountain and Sea Region. Just leave a few alive!"

With a wave of his hand, Yang Fan's boat slowly retreated, his eyes still fixed on Zheng Hao with a strange look.

It's true what they say, "A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days' absence!"

"Second Aunt, let's go!"

Tired of lingering here, Zheng Hao gave the order, and the [Fire Cloud] slowly sailed into the distance...

......

"Thump~"

"Thump~"

In the distance, several medium-sized ships bearing the insignia of the "Enforcement Team" slowly approached.

A middle-aged man stood on a boat, looking at the Liu family with a sigh.

"Thank goodness! Thank goodness!"

"If a real fight breaks out, we won't be able to control the Zheng family..."

"Yang Fan, have you found out why you took action?"

"Did any [Boat Girls] commit murder?"

The middle-aged man looked at Yang Fan, who shrugged: "We probably only managed to blast open two [Ship Girls]. One... I doubt it will ever be able to become a [Ship Girl] again. And the other one, I guess it'll have to be sent to the [Ship Repair Tower]?"

"That's alright..."

"Although Zheng Yunlong is domineering, he wouldn't let the child run wild like this..."

"I suspect... the Liu family did something shady... otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state now..."
