Seeing the leader thrown into the sea, the remaining few were immediately panicked, all talking at once, trying to explain themselves.
But Charles was unmoved and didn't listen to their explanations, firmly forcing them to jump into the sea.
As the captain, he had to have absolute control over the entire ship. This was both a privilege and a responsibility.

He could tell that this was just a preliminary test by these men; if he didn't suppress them now, the others who were watching would surely join in and become more demanding, and it wouldn't just be about wanting water.
The tall man at the edge, seeing Charles' firm stance, twisted his expression ferociously and raised his gun pointing it at Charles.
Before he could pull the trigger, gunshots rang out from behind Charles, and the few troublemakers instantly twitched and fell to the ground, not getting up.
