The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

Yang Xia asked in confusion, "Could my dizziness be related to that colorful fish? Right, how could I forget that? I didn't feel any discomfort before I saw the fish. When I saw it, I felt a mysterious force in my mind. Now it's happening again. If I'm not mistaken, the dizziness I felt just now might be related to that fish."

Thinking of this, Yang Xia seemed to have guessed something, and a look of tension appeared on his face.

He frowned, his mind filled with doubt and tension, lost in thought.

Just then, the ship shook violently again, as if it had hit something, and Yang Xia's body swayed.

He turned around and found that Mengyin had already led the crew to investigate the cause.

Yang Xia also got up and walked over out of curiosity.

When he got to everyone, he found that the fishing net had caught the colorful fish again.

The crew worked hard to pull the fish onto the boat, and everyone was very curious.

The crew was very excited when the fish appeared for the second time.

They carried the fish to Yang Xia: "Your Majesty, look! We've caught this colorful fish again! What a coincidence! Can we keep it this time? It's so beautiful, and it keeps appearing; we really can't bear to part with it. Perhaps you could reconsider?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please have mercy and don't let it return to the sea. Perhaps this place is not suitable for it, otherwise it wouldn't keep appearing. Maybe it has some reason and wants us to take it with it."

The crew members chattered amongst themselves, casting expectant glances at Yang Xia, hoping he would keep the fish.

Yang Xia listened to their nonsensical reasons, which were baseless, but he could tell they were kind-hearted, so he didn't say anything more.

He examined the fish closely, his mind filled with even more questions.

"You all go down first, let me take a good look at it. Why is it getting caught in the net again and again? Let me see clearly before we talk. I know you mean well, I understand."

Yang Xia reassured everyone, not wanting them to worry.

The crew breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

They loved the fish terribly and couldn't put it down.

After calming the crew down, Yang Xia didn't say much. After watching the crew leave, he curiously walked over to the colorful fish, observed them carefully for a while, and then slowly squatted down.

He curiously reached out and gently stroked the fish's body.

The moment my hand touched the fish, a burst of light appeared.

Yang Xia was stunned, staring at the scene before him.

Immediately afterwards, he discovered that time and space around him had stopped, and only he was unaffected.

The fish in front of me transformed into an old man with a sage-like demeanor amidst the seven-colored light.

Yang Xia was startled, staring wide-eyed at the old man, and asked in surprise, "Old man, are you that colorful fish in disguise? Who are you? Am I seeing things? No, I saw it with my own eyes. Where did you come from? How can you be so amazing?"

Upon hearing Yang Xia's question and seeing his curious gaze, the old man burst into laughter. His hearty laughter was comforting.

The old man stroked his beard and looked Yang Xia up and down.

After a while, he said kindly, “Young man, I know you are curious about my background and origins, but I cannot tell you; heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. However, I can tell you that you are a person with royal destiny. Leaving your own territory so suddenly is not a good choice. If you proceed rashly, you may suffer a great loss. I hope you will remember my advice; these are my heartfelt words, and they will be good for you. Please remember them.”

Yang Xia listened carefully to the old man's words, feeling both surprised and curious.

But he felt that the old man meant no harm and had a strange sense of trust in him.

After listening to the old man's words, Yang Xia frowned and looked at him curiously: "Old man, now that you've revealed this secret, is there any way to deal with it? You've appeared as a fish time and time again, and my crew has been able to fish you out of the water repeatedly. Surely that will solve the problem, right?"

Yang Xia tentatively inquired, hoping to get a solution from the old man.

"Hahaha..." The old man laughed loudly upon hearing Yang Xia's words. "Young man, you are truly intelligent and wise. I have high hopes for you. I also believe you will be the chosen one, so I will not hide anything and am willing to guide you."

Yang Xia was both happy and curious after hearing the old man's words.

He didn't know how the old man would help him through his predicament.

He looked at the old man gratefully: "Thank you so much, sir. Please tell me as soon as possible if you have any good ideas! I'm very anxious and can't wait."

Seeing Yang Xia's anxious expression, the old man calmly took out two translucent fish scales from his person.

Yang Xia stared at them curiously, wondering what the two fish scales were for.

At this moment, the old man spoke up: "Take these. Don't underestimate these two fish scales; they are very useful. I'm giving them to you now. Keep them safe and carry them with you at all times. They will be of unexpected help to you. Remember, these two fish scales can save your life when you are in the most danger. Be sure to keep them safe."

Yang Xia stood there, pondering the old man's words.

The more he listened, the more confused he became, unable to make sense of it all. Just as he was about to turn around and ask the old man for more details, a flash of light appeared, and the old man had vanished.

Yang Xia frantically searched everywhere, but found no trace of him.

He took a deep breath: "No, I can't give up. There must be a secret here, but it's a pity I didn't find out."

After the old man disappeared, the crew returned to normal.

They were surprised and saddened to see that the colorful fish was gone.

"Hey, where did that fish go? It was just jumping around here a moment ago."

"Strange, it's really fast. Did it jump back into the sea by itself? What a pity, why didn't we keep an eye on it?"

People were talking about it, guessing that the fish had jumped back into the sea on its own.

Yang Xia didn't say anything, but reached into his pocket and felt that the two fish scales were still there, which made him feel a little relieved.

But he kept it to himself and kept it to himself.

After confirming, Yang Xia sighed, turned to Meng Yin, and said, "Alright, you can all go about your business. I'm going back to my cabin to rest. Let me know if anything important comes up, and you can handle the rest yourself. Don't bother me."

After saying that, Yang Xia turned and left, leaving everyone stunned. He decided to go back to his cabin for a nap.

At this moment, Yang Xia felt much better and was not in so much pain.

The dizziness disappeared, and I felt relaxed and comfortable.

Yang Xia had just returned to his cabin and hadn't even lain down when he heard the crew members talking amongst themselves.

At this moment, Mengyin noticed a large number of black dots appearing on the sea surface not far away.

After careful observation, he discovered that these black dots were not traveling fast, but their course was intersecting with theirs.

Mengyin was surprised and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Because of the distance, he couldn't see clearly and wasn't sure if the two ships would collide.

Thinking of this, Meng Yin hurriedly ran to the bridge and found the old captain: "Old captain, I've discovered something unusual, I need your help. Look at the sea not far away, there seems to be a problem. The speed and course of those black dots are intersecting with our current course. Please help me check if our courses will collide, I'm not sure." The old captain was surprised to hear Meng Yin's words. He looked in the direction Meng Yin was pointing and indeed found something unusual.

The experienced captain carefully observed the other side's course and speed.

Mengyin looked nervously at the old captain, waiting for a reply.

The old captain glanced at them, a look of surprise and doubt on his face: "Strange, these black dots are clearly coming towards us. I noticed that their course changes as our ship moves. Who are they? Why are they following us? Luckily you spotted them in time, otherwise it would have been too late once they got closer."

Upon hearing the old captain's words, Mengyin became very nervous: "Really? But who exactly are they? What is their purpose? Why did they suddenly appear here? We need to find out. The king has just returned to his cabin; it's not advisable to disturb him at this time. Let's observe them more carefully and see what they do."

The old captain nodded after hearing Meng Yin's suggestion: "Alright then."

The two stood there, gazing at the sea, not daring to relax.

The old captain's words made Meng Yin tense, and the crew members also became alert.

Everyone stopped joking around and started paying close attention to the situation of the old captain and Mengyin.

They were not entirely confident and felt worried.

Meanwhile, after returning to his cabin, Yang Xia lay there quietly, reflecting on the old man's words.

He found it both intriguing and unbelievable.

But the old man's words remained fresh in Yang Xia's memory, and he subconsciously took out two fish scales to examine them carefully.

After observing these events, Meng Yin did not intend to disturb Yang Xia.

But after careful consideration, they felt that if the matter was indeed targeting them, they had to report it to Yang Xia as soon as possible so that he could be prepared.

Meng Yin hurriedly returned to the cabin and went to Yang Xia's side.

Seeing Meng Yin's anxious expression, Yang Xia frowned and asked, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Tell me quickly. Is there a problem with the fleet, or do you have something to report?"

Upon hearing Yang Xia's question, Meng Yin said nervously, "Your Majesty, I have spotted some moving black dots on the sea not far away. I feel they are aimed at us. I think the matter is serious, so I rushed here to tell you, hoping to draw your attention."

Yang Xia sensed something was wrong when he heard Meng Yin's words.

He turned to look at Mengyin: "Bring me the binoculars."

As he spoke, Yang Xia got up and walked out of the cabin, and Meng Yin handed him a pair of binoculars.

Yang Xia carefully examined the area through his binoculars and identified the black dots. They turned out to be ships that had appeared in the distance, and judging from their style and shape, they were likely from the Red Cake Kingdom.

Yang Xia's face was filled with anger, his brows furrowed: "It's the fleet from the Red Cake Kingdom, gradually approaching us. It seems they haven't given up their evil intentions and are trying every means to deal with the Great Zhou Dynasty. These despicable and shameless villains are truly cunning. We shouldn't have spared them in the first place and let them return to the Red Cake Kingdom."

Mengyin was very surprised to hear Yang Xia's words.

He had had his doubts before, but he was never sure. Now, hearing Yang Xia say this, he was furious.

He said seriously, “Your Majesty, it seems we cannot be lenient with them. Last time we let them go, and this time they chose to act after we left the waters of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If we really leave, even if we receive a distress signal, we won’t be able to get to the scene in a short time. Their wicked scheme will succeed. Their wishful thinking is truly admirable.”

Upon hearing Meng Yin's analysis, Yang Xia had already realized the Red Cake Kingdom's treacherous scheme.

He found it ridiculous that the Red Cake Kingdom had designs on him and wanted to make a move while he was away from the sea.

Meng Yin's expression was grave, sensing that something was amiss.

He turned and instructed his crew to prepare for an emergency, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

He looked at the old captain seriously: "Old captain, you need to speed up and be prepared. Have all the ships cover each other to avoid being intercepted and suffering serious losses. This time, the Red Cake Kingdom has come with great force, gathering most of its strength here to wait for us."

Yang Xia watched as Meng Yin arranged everything in an orderly manner, appearing very calm and without the slightest panic.

Yang Xia admired Meng Yin's composure under pressure.

But Yang Xia began to plan how to deal with the current predicament.

The Red Cake Kingdom's fleet could launch an attack at any time, so we must not let our guard down.

However, seeing Mengyin sharing the burden with him, Yang Xia felt much more at ease.

Seeing everyone preparing in an orderly manner, Yang Xia realized the seriousness of the situation.

He knew that the Red Cake Kingdom was coming with great force this time. Having learned from their previous defeat, they were well-prepared and ready to intercept them right here.

"Hmph..." Yang Xia sneered, thinking to himself, "Red Cake Kingdom, you really overestimate yourselves. I shouldn't have let you off so easily last time. What good do you gain from repeatedly offending the Great Zhou Dynasty? I really don't understand. Do you think such a treacherous scheme can succeed? You underestimate the capabilities of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Yang Xia."

Although he thought this way, Yang Xia did not show it in front of everyone.

He stretched in front of everyone, deliberately pretending to be tired.

He turned and glanced at Meng Yin: "You can arrange everything yourself. I can't hold on any longer, I'm going back to my cabin to rest. Unless it's something important, no one is allowed to come in and disturb me, understand?"

Seeing Yang Xia's serious expression, Meng Yin didn't say much and quickly nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty..."

Yang Xia hurriedly returned to the cabin and lifted the cover of the weather controller.

He activated the weather controller and, through the "Eye of the Gods" on it, clearly saw the number, type, speed, and number of people on those ships.

He must ascertain the strength of the Red Cake Kingdom and see what they really want to do.

Although Yang Xia appeared relaxed in front of everyone, he began to plan everything after returning to his cabin.

He could not let the Red Cake Kingdom succeed, nor could he allow them to so easily offend the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He felt they should be taught a lesson and hoped that the Red Cake Nation would back down and stop causing trouble here.

Especially at this crucial moment, Yang Xia didn't want to get entangled with them and waste time.

Through careful observation, Yang Xia discovered that the Red Cake Kingdom had clearly dispatched the most valiant and skilled elite warriors in the entire country.

"Hmph..." Yang Xia snorted coldly and said, "So the Red Cake Kingdom came prepared this time. It seems they've put in a lot of effort since being defeated by the Great Zhou Dynasty last time. I guess they've been planning ahead ever since they got back, preparing for everything today. They really want to turn the tables this time, but they've underestimated the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Yang Xia shook his head helplessly and observed carefully.

He noticed that the men on the ship were all burly and strong.

They are ready to attack; everything is in place, except for the final push.

Yang Xia understood all of this and already had a plan in mind.

A cold smile crept onto Yang Xia's lips without anyone noticing. (End of Chapter)
