Although Cai Liben was the ship's boatswain, his position still rarely granted him an audience with this individual, whose status surpassed even the captain's—a true figure at the top of the pyramid.
He followed the second mate to the navigator's quarters. Before they even went inside, the navigator's cold voice drifted out.
"Tell your captain this Sea Siren is extremely powerful. Even I require extensive preparations to repel it. So, whatever it takes, have him hold out for at least five minutes."
Hearing this, the second mate didn't dare leave, so he ordered Cai Liben to relay the message.
After listening to Cai Liben, Xiong Tianzong was cursing up a storm in his head, but there was no use saying anything else now.
He reached out, grabbed the handset for the ship's intercom, and yelled, "All hands, attention! Prepare for battle! I don't care what you have to do, you will hold for five minutes!"
