Shipwreck

When Candice heard the orders of Lei Zhen, she quickly left the Steering Room and made her way to the ship deck.

At the ship deck, Howard was busy chatting with the crewmen and talking about their backgrounds.

This was Howard's attempt to build up a good and harmonious relationship among the crewmen, a tactic and strategy he had learned during his time in the military.

"So you used to be a navy soldier in the past, Emmanuel. Never expected you to be one." Howard was slightly astounded to hear that from a crewman.

"Yeah, I was a navy soldier, but then during a naval war one time, I injured my legs. The doctor said it was some L3 fracture and even with healing magic, I would not be able to return to my top form. Hence, I was forced to retire early." Emmanuel smiled bitterly.

While they were discussing Emmanuel's pitiful past, they saw Candice rushing toward them.

"What's the matter, Candice?" As an elite imperial guard, Howard had long noticed her arrival.
