Troubled Waters [2] [Bonus Chapter]

Back at the Shores of the Vermilion Kingdom...

The Storm Reaper squad was made up of ten Awakened, including Adrian, their leader. The lowest-ranked member of this exclusive squad was at Level 70, surpassing 95 percent of the Awakened in the Vermilion Kingdom.

Each member of the ten-man team had been with Adrian for a long time and attended the same academy as him. Most of them were actually his classmates, special-class students from the Vermilion Royal Academy. After graduation, they didn't apply to work for any guild and instead chose to follow Adrian, who had been the rank-one student at the time.

Over the years, their synergy had become terrifying. Whether facing human opponents or massive sea monsters, their coordination was seamless. No matter the situation, they always deployed in their skiffs—just like today.
