On the Aldrich Glory, David Aldrich was extremely pleased. Relying on his larger ship, he had just brushed past Ling Tian's yacht, and the huge waves generated had almost capsized Ling Tian's boat.
This was incredibly satisfying. David Aldrich even imagined Ling Tian and his crew in a state of panic.
"Quick, turn the ship around, let's do it again!" David Aldrich happily shouted to the captain.
"Uh, Mr. Aldrich, doing that would be too dangerous. If things go wrong, it's very easy to cause a collision..."
"A collision is a collision, it doesn't matter. If something happens, I, David Aldrich, will take responsibility! I'll pay for any compensation! Just do as I say!"
Looking at David Aldrich, who was fanatical and even had a somewhat ferocious expression, the captain was very helpless, but he still complied, preparing to turn the ship.
Ling Tian stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the yacht preparing to turn back in the distance, his expression extremely grim. David Aldrich's repeated provocations showed a complete disregard for their safety. Ling Tian could not tolerate such a thing!
At this moment, Ali took a few steps back, looking as if she was about to jump into the water. Ling Tian grabbed her.
Ling Tian knew this little cat demon too well. She was preparing to rush onto that ship and unleash carnage. He also knew that if Ali were allowed to rush onto that ship, everyone on board would likely not survive!
"Ali, your seafood is ready, go eat quickly. I'll deal with these guys!"
At this moment, the only thing that could stop Ali was food. So Ali turned and went into the cabin to find the chef.
Aurora also came to the bow at this time. She looked at the Aldrich Glory ahead, extended her hands, and a blast of icy cold air shot out, hitting the Aldrich Glory.
Ling Tian let out a long sigh. He then turned and entered the cabin. After a short while, Ling Tian emerged carrying a harpoon about two meters long.
This harpoon was made of alloy and was of excellent quality. Ling Tian had just used it to kill several sharks.
Holding the harpoon, he faced the direction from which the Aldrich Glory was approaching. When the two ships were less than 50 meters apart, Ling Tian exerted all his strength, without even a run-up, and with a standard javelin throw motion, hurled the harpoon!
The harpoon, infused with Ling Tian's inner energy, whistled through the air towards the Aldrich Glory!
The harpoon flew like a precision-guided missile, directly embedding itself into the Aldrich Glory's cockpit!
The three layers of windshield in the cockpit could not withstand the impact of the harpoon infused with so much inner energy!
The cockpit glass, unable to bear the impact of the harpoon, instantly shattered into thousands of pieces.
The harpoon grazed David Aldrich's cheek and embedded itself into the wall behind him.
It should be known that the wall behind the cockpit was made of metal. Most of the harpoon was buried in the wall, with only a few dozen centimeters of its tail exposed.
Aldrich and the captain were both stunned by the sudden attack. Aldrich, in particular, felt a burning pain on his face. He quickly reached out to touch it, only to find his hands covered in blood.
It turned out that the harpoon had flown past his face at an extremely close range, and its tip had left a small gash on his face!
If the harpoon had been just one centimeter further to the side, David Aldrich would have been impaled on the wall!
David Aldrich collapsed onto the floor. The entire cockpit was suddenly filled with a pungent, foul odor.
Having narrowly escaped death, David Aldrich was so terrified that he lost control of his bodily functions, losing all dignity. The phrase "shitting and pissing his pants" would be a fitting description.
This sudden turn of events also bewildered the captain operating the Aldrich Glory yacht. However, he instinctively turned sharply to the side to prevent a collision, and the two ships brushed past each other.
Just then, Ling Tian bent down and picked up a stone the size of a volleyball from the deck.
This stone was round and had remnants of shellfish attached to it. The stone had been retrieved by Ali when she was diving in the water earlier. The stone was covered in many shellfish, which the cat demon used as ingredients.
Ling Tian weighed the stone and then, with a mighty heave, threw it with a baseball pitcher's motion.
The stone shot out like a cannonball, flying directly towards the Aldrich Glory and striking the hull near the stern.
The part of the Aldrich Glory that was hit was near the waterline. The people on board heard a loud bang, and they even felt the entire ship vibrate violently.
Someone on board rushed to the stern and peered over the railing, only to be terrified. A hole the size of a bowl had appeared near the waterline, and seawater was pouring in through the opening!
"Oh, my God, the ship is leaking!"
"What just happened? Were we attacked?"
"Quick, block the breach, pump out the water!"
The captain of the Aldrich Glory was experienced. He quickly arranged for damage control and began using the ship's bilge pumps to pump out the water.
At the same time, he turned the ship around again, preparing to head towards the shore. In his opinion, although the ship was damaged, as long as they could return to shore at full speed, the safety of everyone on board could be guaranteed.
However, shortly after the Aldrich Glory turned around, the ship suddenly vibrated violently. Then, there was a crackling noise from the engine room, followed by an explosion, and the entire ship came to a halt.
"Bob, what's going on? Why has the ship stopped!" the captain shouted into the intercom, directed at the engine room.
Before long, the ship's chief engineer, the engine room superintendent, ran over with a look of panic.
"Captain, I think we've encountered a ghost! Our ship's propulsion system and engine have been destroyed!"
"What? What nonsense are you talking about? How do you maintain the equipment? The Aldrich family pays you such a high salary, is this how you work!" The captain's face contorted slightly.
"Captain, we've really encountered a ghost. If you don't believe me, come and see!"
The chief engineer turned and ran towards the stern. The captain, not understanding, followed closely. However, when they reached the stern and looked down along the hull, the captain was also dumbfounded!
This captain had gone to sea before he was twenty years old and had spent decades at sea, having seen everything!
