Over the vast North Sea, a lone figure was swiftly skimming close to the surface, occasionally tilting his ear to listen.
This person was none other than the runaway Big Ears.
Having mixed in Chaotic Sky Island for so many years, Big Ears understood too well the power and influence of the Sky-reaching Corporation, one of the Ten Great Directors of Chaotic Sky Island.
Originally, slipping away aboard a merchant ship was his best option.

By then, if someone from the Sky-reaching Corporation truly pursued him, he would have no choice but to wait for death.
Therefore, in the end, he chose to escape by flying alone, although fraught with danger, his odds of survival increased significantly.
