The expressions of the two escort supervisors darkened almost imperceptibly. Meanwhile, the lady in blue clenched her teeth, her fury simmering just beneath the surface. It took every ounce of restraint she had to keep herself from leaping over the table, yielding to the tempest of rage swirling within her.
Duan Ting and Liu Ying exchanged glances, seeing the same emotions shared between them. Regret and discomfort flickered in their eyes, but a deeper undercurrent of worry overshadowed both.
After a moment's hesitation and a heavy sigh, Duan Ting finally spoke. "One of our ferries... vanished—along with everyone and everything on board," he admitted, his voice heavy with defeat and his expression clouded with unease.
As the words left his mouth, his gaze flickered toward the lady in blue. Her fiery eyes burned with barely contained fury, like a predator ready to strike.
The first 14 chapters have been polished, with one or two being rewritten for clarity.. you can give it a re-read if you want, and thank you all for the support that you have shown me since I started this journey. Thank you for making it worthwhile for me, there are few feelings that come close to what one feels when they see their works being appreciated..
Thank you all truly, and God bless you, and I wish you a festive December that is truly and genuinely festive, or a relaxing quietness for those who prefer their quiet.
