In the control room of the cruise ship, there were over ten people at this moment, including the captain, the executive officer, and other crew members—six in total. Additionally, there were four individuals armed and pointing their guns at these six, and two more people sitting on the sofa beside them. One of the two was still wearing a crew uniform, seemingly the First Mate.
The First Mate was actually the leader of this operation, named Paul Pierce. He had been working on this ship for several years, rising from a small crew member to the First Mate, with a considerably high income.
However, as his status increased, his mindset became increasingly imbalanced. On the same cruise ship, guests enjoyed themselves immensely, while they could only serve. Watching these wealthy individuals spend extravagantly made him feel extremely unbalanced.
