A few navy officers arrived, exuding an imposing presence. The leader wasn't tall, not even reaching 1.7 meters, but he was solidly built, wearing a blue coat and holding a cigarette as he swaggered over.

"Huang Biao, you actually lost? You were bragging before that your ship could dominate the Morgan Trade Market?"

Huang Biao hurriedly put on a flattering smile and approached with a fawning demeanor, "Lieutenant Harry, it was just an unexpected mishap."

Harry snorted coldly, walked over, and gave Avril a once-over, his gaze lingering on her chest for a moment before blowing out a smoke ring. "Your maneuvering was decent, but you've wrecked Huang Biao's ship, and he has no money."

Avril glared defiantly at Harry, "You say he has no money, and that's it? We want to search!"

Harry's gaze turned fierce in an instant, and he tossed his cigarette butt into the sea. "What, you're questioning my word, Harry's word?"

"Are you questioning the authority of the Navy?"

The onlookers, who had been enjoying the spectacle, now dared not utter a single word.

They dared to mock Huang Biao, but none dared to ridicule Harry!

Avril was so furious her chest heaved. They had won with great difficulty, only for it to end like this.

What was even more infuriating was that Huang Biao hid behind Harry, giving her a lewd smile and sticking out his tongue suggestively.

"Even if you're the Navy, you can't violate the rules of a sea duel!" Avril said angrily.

Seeing this, Terry quickly pulled Avril aside, whispering in her ear, "Avril, we can't afford to provoke this man. Let's just drop it and go to another trade market."

For some reason, Harry's ears were sharp enough to catch some of this. He swaggered over to Avril and Terry, looked them over, and kicked Terry aside. "Going to another trade market means you're defying me!"

"Father!" Ashan and Amin hurried to support Terry, Ashan glaring angrily at Harry. "Which trade market we go to is our freedom!"

"Freedom? Ha!" Harry sneered. "If you anger the Navy, do you think you'll still have freedom? Pick any spot in the sea, and if you can find a place to dock, I'll admit defeat!"

Harry's arrogance was a hundred times greater than Terry's! And more importantly, he had the full backing of the Navy.

Avril and the others glared at Harry but dared not speak. Acting rashly now would only bring them trouble.

"Remember, in the Azure Epoch, only the strong, the strong have the right to speak!" Harry said fiercely, looking at Avril and her group.

From a distance, Li Yuan watched the scene quietly.

This time, he didn't feel angry.

Yes, in the Azure Epoch, no, not just the Azure Epoch, but at any time, in any place, only the strong have the right to speak! The weak can only be trampled upon.

Look at those sailors; they were jeering mindlessly before, seemingly happy, but now? Not one dared to say "no" to Harry.

Even someone like Huang Biao, supposedly a tough guy, was obedient as a dog in front of Harry, desperately currying favor with his master.

This time, Harry had taught Li Yuan a valuable lesson!

"Get stronger! Get stronger! I will definitely become stronger!"

Seeing that these hot-tempered people had all fallen silent, Harry's mood brightened a bit. He stepped forward, looking at Avril with interest. "Avril, you look pretty good. If you're willing to accompany me, I..."

With a smack, Harry's navy cap was slapped far away, his head tilted to one side.

The entire place fell silent, and Avril's eyes widened in disbelief at the scene.

Someone dared to teach Harry a lesson like this?

The most shocked, of course, was Harry. He was in the midst of showing off when someone slapped him hard from behind, a true "show-off slap"! Halfway through his act, someone slapped him right in the face...

His anger meter instantly filled to five bars!

"You fucking..." Harry gritted his teeth, turning around, only to see...

"Xiao Bei Bei Bei..."

"The name's Xiao Bei, not Xiao Bei Bei!"

A tall man in a navy uniform, also wearing a blue coat, had a cigar in his mouth. He took a puff, left the cigar in his mouth, and with his hands in his pockets, kicked Harry into the sea. "What the hell, how did I end up teaching such a worthless dog!"

"You lot, and the one in the sea, are expelled from the Navy. Return your uniforms and get the hell out of here!"

"Lieutenant Xiao Bei, we..."

Xiao Bei turned slightly, his small triangular eyes flashing with a hint of menace, and those few didn't dare utter another word.

"I'll give you three seconds to disappear from my sight!"

Three seconds? It would take at least a few minutes to run to the warship, but these navy guys weren't stupid. They all jumped into the sea and disappeared underwater...

With those scoundrels out of sight, Xiao Bei felt much more at ease.

"You there!"

The navy officer acting as the duel referee shivered all over, about to jump into the sea, but Xiao Bei grabbed him. "What, don't want to work anymore?"

"No, I, I just..."

"I said for them to disappear, not you!" Xiao Bei shook his head. "Take people to search their homes, and split half of all assets. If a single cent is missing, I'll hold you accountable!"

"Yes, yes, Lieutenant Xiao Bei, I'll take people right away!"

"Daring to break the rules of a duel, things are getting more and more out of hand." Xiao Bei sighed.

In the eyes of others, it was a huge crisis, but under this man's command, it was resolved in seconds. By now, even a fool would know this man was no ordinary person.

Xiao Bei walked up to Avril, giving her a once-over as well, then looked at Ashan and nodded slightly.

"Captain Avril, right? Hello, I'm Xiao Bei, a Navy lieutenant responsible for the security of this area."

Avril replied woodenly, "Uh, hello..."

Xiao Bei didn't mind Avril's reaction at all and continued, "I watched your performance just now. Honestly, you exceeded my expectations, and I admire that."

"That's your ship, right? I wonder if I could have the honor of visiting it?"

No matter what, Lieutenant Xiao Bei had helped them, and he didn't seem as lecherous as Huang Biao and Harry. Avril thought for a moment and said, "Um, Lieutenant Xiao Bei, can I return to the ship first and come back to answer you?"

"Of course," Xiao Bei said graciously.

Avril quickly ran back to the ship to report the situation to Li Yuan.

"He wants to board me? Well... I can't beat the Navy right now, so if he wants to board, I can't stop him... Let him board then," Li Yuan said helplessly.
