Chapter 676: Chapter 460: The Sinister Black Ship
"Oh, the fox’s tail is showing—you really think you can monopolize what’s mine?"
Hearing Dong Tianyu’s sarcastic words, Fabian still wore a smile on his face, unconcerned as he said to Dong Tianyu, "I’ve claimed this plane for myself. If you want to leave, I can give you a little boat, but you won’t be taking this plane."
During the time Dong Tianyu was away with Robinson William and Ye Liuyun to verify, Fabian and his group started to gather the crew members who had been sent over from their hometown.
The members remaining on the ship can roughly be divided into several groups by background.
The majority are those who came from Pengcheng, bringing cargo over long distances after hearing that Ye Liuyun had acquired a large ship, and among them, a small portion have intricate connections with the Taylor family.
The rest, while they stayed on the ship, essentially followed the commands from the people back in their hometown.
Fabian was so bold and unconcerned about Ye Liuyun’s dignity, trying to forcefully take Dong Tianyu’s small transport plane, because he had already gained command over those people and believed they had taken over the ship.
Watching Fabian’s arrogant demeanor, and before Robinson William could even speak, Dong Tianyu moved in a blink and appeared in front of Fabian, then with one hand, he grabbed Fabian by the throat and lifted him up.
The four men who had stood beside Fabian were startled by Dong Tianyu’s actions; they hadn’t expected him to be so decisive in laying hands on them.
In their plan, they expected Dong Tianyu to either swallow his anger or perhaps turn against them upon revealing their identities, but even if he did turn against them, they did not expect him to physically intervene like he did just then.
They thought what Fabian had done was somewhat excessive, but it hadn’t warranted escalating to this extent.
Dong Tianyu casually looked at the man he had effortlessly lifted with one hand and said with a smile, "I was polite to you just to give you face, but you overheated and acted without consideration, so let me help you cool down."
Having said that, Dong Tianyu casually carried Fabian with one hand and walked step by step toward the railing on the deck. Before the others could react, Dong Tianyu flung him overboard with a backhand throw.
Even after Dong Tianyu had finished doing all this, the several men on the deck were still in a stunned state, unsure of what to do next.
That’s when Robinson William suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly shouted to Ye Liuyun, "What are you standing there for like an idiot? Go and arrange for someone to rescue him!"
A large ship is different from a small boat; getting close to a large ship while it’s underway can easily lead to being swept under by the waves generated by the ship’s movement.
Although Dong Tianyu’s words suggested he was merely letting Fabian cool off by throwing him overboard, in reality, it also showed that Dong Tianyu had run out of patience, hence the deliberately extreme action.
The remaining four had never imagined that Fabian could be so easily thrown off the deck by Dong Tianyu.
You should know that the five of them being assigned to accompany Dong Tianyu in picking up the aircraft and return together already meant that, although they were not the most outstanding young members of their respective families, they would have been seen as prodigies in ancient times.
When they were sent over from their hometown, there was actually a slight intention to seize power, so their Cultivation Levels weren’t weak.
Even so, while Fabian complied with Dong Tianyu’s grip like a docile snack, in reality, they had all reached the Energy Refining Realm.
After all, if their own strength were too low, they wouldn’t be able to command respect from their subordinates at this time.
Watching as Dong Tianyu effortlessly dealt with Fabian, the others, although still outwardly calm, were in a panic inside, as Dong Tianyu’s performance just now could easily be described as overwhelming.
Ye Liuyun, upon hearing Robinson William’s instructions, disregarded the awkward atmosphere and hurried away, calling over a few crew members with good swimming skills to the railing to discuss how to rescue the man overboard.
The other few watched as Ye Liuyun dawdled by the railing, growing anxious. It wasn’t that they were genuinely concerned about Fabian’s life.
Prior to arriving, they had discussed it, and all of Fabian’s brainless actions were actually deliberate theatrics.
After all, if there was no scapegoat, everyone’s attention would focus on them all, but with a scapegoat present, most people’s attention would be diverted, and the actions of the rest would go relatively unnoticed.
Yet, what they hadn’t expected was for Dong Tianyu to act so decisively—Fabian had barely got started when Dong Tianyu effectively flipped the table.
This is why they were so shocked by Dong Tianyu’s intervention that they froze in place.
Once they snapped back to reality, they saw Ye Liuyun dragging his feet in the rescue efforts. Paying no more attention to the situation there, they immediately ran over to Ye Liuyun’s side and outright disregarded his dignity as they ordered the crew members to go down for the rescue.
Watching as one sailor after another, dressed in life jackets and with ropes tied around their waists, jumped from the deck, Ye Liuyun quickly contacted the bridge to order a temporary slowdown and stop the ship, reducing the safety risks brought by the ship’s movement.
