Chapter 49: Black Lotus
Leonard could never allow himself to employ someone who would prioritize their emotions over rational action.
Although he could sympathize and understand Mirelle’s internal turmoil, what she just did could easily result in catastrophic damage.
It was a good thing that he got the enemy trapped in the sea to ensure they couldn’t retaliate.
But what would happen if he didn’t and the enemy sieged the chance to deal a final blow?
Was he supposed to pay with his life because one of his teammates couldn’t adapt or do their duty properly?
As the enemy received timely assistance, she was finally able to shove all the sea monsters on deck to the sea. Simultaneously, the dying ether on her body was slowly being dissipated.
Nevertheless, there was still no escape because another large ship had arrived.
"Crown Prince, please pardon my lateness!" A thunderous voice resounded, followed by a brief shadow of silhouette.
Their speed was fast and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the tilting Astral Gale. The person went on their knees and lowered their head, clearly pleading for mercy.
This person was none other than Curtis, who had been following at a fixed distance with a ship larger and greater than Astral Gale.
Shortly after his arrival, numerous lifeboats also appeared in the Virellian Sea, ready to assist him.
"It’s fine. You’re just on time." Leonard waved his hand and pardoned Curtis.
