Everyone felt a sense of unease, and the Little Mermaid locked in the fish tank on the deck suddenly began to thrash about restlessly.
Everyone on the ship felt a sharp pain in their ears, like a needle stirring inside, while eerie waves rippled across the calm sea surface not far away. Jiang Lai noticed this and slowly picked up the intercom in her hand.
"Both teams underwater, prepare yourselves. Targets are approaching."
Zhou Wenjin stood beside Jiang Lai, watching her calmly giving commands.
"How did you know they were here?"
"Because I can understand what they're saying."
Zhou Wenjin thought she was joking, feeling a bit nervous from the threat closing in from all directions, yet he maintained a steady gaze at the horizon.
"These mermaids, they do have quite the ambitions."
"Mermaids are half-human after all, so their greed is just as insatiable."
They had used bait to lure out Jiang Lai's position, and here she was, willingly delivering herself to them.
