Chapter 666: She Pushed Empress Xi!

"Bang! Bang—"

Continuous gunshots echoed overhead the Seine River, prompting every person aboard the "Boloskafi" to instinctively stop what they were doing and turn to look northward.

Captain Bliss and his crew ran up to the deck and saw the "Seven Birds" not far off, the gunshots clearly signaling an alarm from that direction.

A sailor was standing atop the mainmast of the sailing ship, holding up two lanterns and constantly making various gestures.

This was a communication method agreed upon by the sailors who transported goods along the Seine River.

Captain Bliss read the gestures proficiently,

"Man... overboard... starboard..."

His face suddenly tensed, and he turned and bellowed to his third mate,

"Quick! Starboard side, go rescue the man! Henry, drop the anchor!"

At this moment, the people aboard the "Boloskafi" were all of note—after all, not just anyone could sail with the Crown Prince—drowning someone would mean he could forget about sailing in France ever again!
