At this mont, the captain of the Diamond Princess, Bowie, stood on the deck, looking at the busy dock and the crowd that was blocking the main path, his face a little tense.
Although he was not very clear about the backgrounds of these people, he knew that they were not to be trifilled with; otherwise, Beth wouldn't have made such a pointed warning.
And he could guess that the Diamond Princess had been set in motion ahead of schedule because of these people.
Just then, a sudden change occurred on the dock below.
A man, followed by quite a few others, burst forth and suddenly appeared beside the elf, coming up to the captain of the guards.
To the astonishnt of the onlookers, he didn't say a word and directly slapped the captain of the guards across the face.
"Damn it, are you fucking blind? Do you know who we are?" the man bellowed at the dazed captain of the guards.
This was none other than Peng Ming. Seeing this, the elf's mouth twitched, and she imdiately stood aside; in such a situation, it was better to let this guy handle it!
Though Peng Ming might seem irreverent, he was certainly not rash!
Peng Ming pointed at the Diamond Princess and continued to roar, "Fuck, the Diamond Princess, you recognize her?
Do you want to educate you? A cruise ship under the banner of the Ais Duchy Federal Consortium, sailing once every four years!
Do you know who gets to ride this ship? The world's top elites, heads of consortia, technology geniuses, and leaders from all fields!
If we all band together, do you know how much power we can wield? Believe it or not, the entire upper echelon of your Snow Country would have to co out and apologize!
Damn it, who gave you the balls to pick a fight with the whole world? Is Snow Country trying to replace Ais Duchy and beco the global hegemon?"
Upon initially being smacked, the captain of the guards was bewildered, but once he ca to his senses and was about to explode in anger, he found himself speechless from Peng Ming's tirade and stood frozen in place.
Even the guards behind him who were about to raise their guns at Peng Ming were scolded into a state of confusion, mainly because the accusations were so severe.
Replace Ais Duchy as the global hegemon—that's so serious shit; who would dare to assu such a title?
"Pfft, you piece of shit, do you know who this lady is? Do you know who you are talking to?
She's the cousin of Ivan from the First Family, a word from her could have your Snow Country's No.1 sweeping the streets to greet her!" Peng Ming pointed at the elf and yelled at the captain of the guards.
The mbers of Dragon Gate, through their hidden communication devices, heard and saw the unfolding event clearly, also staring in astonishnt and confusion.
The elf stood to one side, her mouth twitching again. Peng Ming really could spin a yarn; without care, she had suddenly beco the cousin of the heir of the First Family!
"Get lost, a bunch of fucking idiots. Instead of doing sothing useful, you're here spewing bullshit!" With that, Peng Ming pushed the stunned captain of the guards aside, causing him to stumble, then led his people straight toward the ship.
The captain of the guards and his n were left dumbfounded and didn't dare to make another peep, just watching in a daze as the group filed onto the ship.
"Holy shit, all these Elder Leisure People are fucking talented!" Nick couldn't help but exclaim in admiration from within the crowd.
Captain Bowie, standing on the deck, was scared sweaty by the commotion below, nearly triggering a heart attack.
Quickly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and looking at the people boarding the ship, he shakily pulled out his phone and called Beth!
"Hello, boss!" Bowie's throat was a bit dry.
"What's up!" Beth said on the phone.
Bowie adjusted his emotions and imdiately reported the current situation and the scene that had just occurred on the dock to Beth.
After listening to the report on the phone, Beth was also sowhat startled, rubbing her throbbing temple.
"Once they're on board, leave imdiately!" Beth took a deep breath and instructed.
"Yes, boss. But what about the regular passengers who haven't boarded yet?" Bowie asked.
"Don't worry about them; these people are elites from all walks of life. Even if they are left in Snow Country, no one would dare to do anything to them!" Beth replied.
"Right, let know after departure!"
Having received his instructions, Bowie acknowledged and then hung up the phone!
The mbers of Dragon Gate were all well-trained elites, so they boarded the ship with great speed.
The Captain of the Guards, having regained his composure, felt sothing was amiss. He glanced at the boarding passengers, hurried to a side, and reported the situation, requesting instructions from his superiors.
After making his request, he stood to one side, anxiously awaiting a response. By this ti, the people from Dragon Gate at the dock had nearly all boarded!
At this mont, from a distance, nurous regular tourists began to trickle toward the dock.
Most of these people had been indulging themselves in pleasure establishnts all night long and hadn't woken up very early. They had tid their departure to make it just in ti, and those with a hearty appetite even managed a 'breakfast,' contributing their fair share of 'public grain.'
Moreover, because of the major incident that occurred in Snow Country the night before, checkpoints had been set up all along the way.
Not having the skills of those from Dragon Gate, most of these people were delayed, definitely missing the second round of buses.
Just as the last person was boarding, the phone rang at the Captain of the Guards' side.
No sooner had the Captain of the Guards answered the call than a torrent of berating ca from the other end, cursing him until he bled!
"Damn it, are you all eating shit? What were the orders from the top?
Not a single one is to board the ship! Go, those who boarded cannot be allowed to leave; go and detain the ship for . Otherwise, brace yourself for military tribunal punishnt!" the other side roared furiously.
By this ti, a few hundred more people had surged onto the dock. Seeing that ti was tight, they hurriedly made their way toward the ship.
It was strictly warned when disembarking that the ship would leave on schedule. Anyone who was delayed and couldn't board would be responsible for the consequences, and they would have to find their own way off!
The Captain of the Guards saw the few hundred people about to rush onto the ship and his face turned pale. He quickly put down the phone and shouted, "Stop them, stop them! Anyone who dares to force their way on board will be executed on the spot!"
With a roar, the Captain of the Guards fired a burst of bullets into the sky.
Dozens of Guards imdiately reacted, aiming their guns at the crowd that was about to board.
"Stop, stop! Take one more step forward and we will shoot!" the guards shouted.
The few hundred people who were about to board looked at the gun barrels aid at them and were imdiately bewildered.
Without saying another word, the Captain of the Guards picked up the communication device and called out, "Requesting backup, requesting a lot of backup, location dock, location dock!"
"Soone go up there and detain that ship, do not allow it to leave!" the Captain of the Guards shouted to his n.
To be honest, there really wasn't much those few dozen people could do. Just then, the astonished crowd began to stir.
"This is outrageous! Why can't we board? Are you bastards planning a rebellion? Do you know who I am?" a fair-skinned man with a large nose roared angrily.
"Damn, move aside! Do you have any idea how much power we wield when united? Believe it or not, I can have you removed from your post right this instant!" soone else began to curse angrily as well.
Chaos ensued on the dock, as the few dozen Guards struggled to deal with the crowd and couldn't spare any attention for those on the ship.
Stuck in a deadlock with the hundreds in front of them, they were unable to advance or retreat!
The Dragon Gate passengers on board the ship heaved a sigh of relief, standing on the deck. That had been too close for comfort; they had barely made it.
Bowie, seeing this, didn't say another word and quickly ordered through the walkie-talkie to the sailors, "Set sail, set sail, imdiately, right now!"
After speaking, Bowie rushed into the cockpit, took the helm himself, and the sailors, already waiting for orders, promptly raised the anchor and set sail.
"Hey, hey, hey, the ship is leaving, damn it, wait for us!" the emotions of those on the dock suddenly escalated.
The Captain of the Guards, seeing this, changed his expression and 'putt putt putt' fired several more shots into the sky.
"Stop, stop, you can't leave!" the Captain of the Guards shouted loudly.
However, the only response to him was the fading silhouette of the ship as it moved away from the dock.
"Full throttle, set sail at full speed!" Bowie quickly ordered.
At this ti, on the dock, from a distance, one could see several hundred Guards arriving, surrounding the people who had not yet boarded.
The Elder Leisure People, Yukieko, Nora, Nick, and other Dragon Gate mbers all took a deep breath, relieved that they had left without incident.
Bowie, stepping out of the bridge and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, also let out a sigh of relief and quickly dialed Beth's number.
