"What's going on?" Wu Liangchen completely ignored the man who had spoken and turned to Annabelle.
"I asked them about the ship that came here before and told them about the Bell Clan's situation. But they wouldn't listen. Instead, they just kept insulting and harassing me." Annabelle forced down her anger, struggling to keep her voice calm.
The words were barely out of her mouth when one of the crewmen sneered.
"What bullshit Bell Clan? I already told you, the company that owned the merchant ship you used to trade with went bankrupt. You just keep yakking on about it. You're just asking for it, aren't you?"
Company… went bankrupt….
These familiar words struck a chord with Wu Liangchen. He waved a hand, signaling for Annabelle to calm down, and turned his gaze to the speaker.
"What did you mean before when you said this trip would be 'lively'?"
"Are you questioning me?" The man didn't answer directly, retorting with a smirk instead.
