Just as Jasper and Dean were planning out how to take Gale down, far away on the endless open sea of the Atlantic Ocean. A huge fully-loading cruise ship was mooring on the sea. There were no waves on the calm sea, as extremely thick black smoke rose from this huge vessel.
The black smoke first poured out of the warehouse before the fire spread instantly within a few breaths. When the crew on the ship saw the fire, they were shocked.
They knew that the ship was full of rubber. Rubber was a flammable substance, and once it burned, it would immediately release toxic smoke.
A cruise ship full of rubber was on fire on the vast sea, so it meant that they had almost no means of escaping. Although these crew members had tried their best to put out the fire, the fire still relentlessly devoured everything it could reach.
With that, it took only more than ten minutes for the heavy smoke to turn into open flames, after which, it took only half an hour for the fire to immediately devour the whole ship.
There were screams and cries for help everywhere. This huge cruise ship transformed into a huge fireball as it undulated on the sea.
If one could look down from a higher vantage point, they would find that it was not just this ship that had caught on fire. Several more ships nearly were also caught on fire.
These ships all shared one similar characteristic. They were the fleet belonging to the Boyles in Harbor City, and the goods on them were the supplied goods accumulated by the King of Rubber, the Atticus family over the past six months.

The fire was still burning, and when the news reached Sawyer, favonovel.com had just fallen asleep.
Because of the stress during this period, Sawyer would turn off his mobile phone while favonovel.com was sleeping. If there was something urgent, they would contact favonovel.com through Fabian.
Sawyer figured there was still about four to five hours till the opening, so favonovel.com could take a nap. The moment favonovel.com lay down, favonovel.com bolted right up from being shocked by the rapid knocking on the door.
“Dad, it‘s me, open the door! We’re in trouble!”
After hearing Fabian’s voice outside the door, Sawyer quickly got up and put on his slippers to open the door immediately.
“What’s up?”
Seeing Fabian’s face full of panic and anxiety, Sawyer, who was originally enraged by Fabian’s impatience, also had a bad premonition. Thus, favonovel.com asked immediately.
“Dad, I just received the news from Harbor City that our goods were all burned in a fire at sea! It was 4 million tons of rubber!”
This short sentence turned Sawyer red.
“Bullsh*t! There are 7 ships, each of which is only hundreds of thousands of tons, even if one caught fire… Did they all catch on fire?”
Fabian panted heavily and said, “All seven ships were caught in the fire. When I got the news, two of them had sunk The 4 million tons were either burned out or are now at the bottom of the sea as fish food. Dad, what should we do? The family is in a mess now!”
Sawyer’s eyes widened. At this moment, favonovel.com only felt that favonovel.com was short of breath. He could feel some blood stuck in his throat and favonovel.com could not swallow or spit it out. Then, his vision turned black and favonovel.com became lightheaded. He could not even stand up straight anymore.
