After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

The other party remained silent for about ten seconds.

Then the loudspeaker blared again, this time with a different voice, more composed and colder, carrying an air of condescending indifference:

"The Wang family, one of the four major families in Jiangcheng? Then you should understand better than ordinary people that there are some things you shouldn't touch."

He paused, seemingly considering his words, or perhaps simply enjoying the thrill of being in control.

"Hand over all items you obtained down below, and then everyone disembark for our security check."

This is how we handle your unauthorized trespassing into a restricted area.

The phrase "a restricted area under management?" sent a chill down Ye Tian's spine.

The other party's strong wording and disregard for the Wang family's reputation indicate that they are not an ordinary coast guard or business rival.

Almost at the same time the other person was speaking, Wang Yuyan appeared not far behind Ye Tian.

Her eyes were sharp, and she gripped the handheld signal terminal, which was flashing a faint indicator light, tightly in her hand.

Taking advantage of the brief pause in the conversation between the other party and Ye Tian, ​​she quickly sent out the other party's ship characteristics via encrypted text message.

After doing all this, she quickly walked to Ye Tian's side and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"They know the Wang family, but they don't give them any face at all, and they don't even show any concern, which shows that they have a very deep background."

I've only ever seen the term "managed restricted area at sea" in some family files involving maritime alliances and special spheres of influence.

These are reportedly restricted areas designated by several neighboring countries and some powerful factions within our borders, areas inaccessible to ordinary people.

"So, they're backed by a powerful force capable of carving up maritime territory with neighboring countries?"

Ye Tian was startled. Although he had long expected that the Huanyu Deep Mine would not be as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Unexpectedly, such a powerful force was behind the scenes of the Universal Deep Mine.

From forcing Murong Xue to show the original stone sample at the initial Tingtao Pavilion exchange meeting, to this mysterious underwater ruin.

And now, with its undisguised tough stance, the vast background revealed by Huanyu Deep Mining is becoming increasingly unsettling.

They possess not only advanced technology and intelligence capabilities, but also paramilitary forces.

This explains why they have no fear of worldly powerful families like the Wang and Murong families.

The standoff has reached a cold stalemate.

A sea breeze swept by, carrying a hint of chill, illuminating the dust and moisture under the searchlights clearly.

The two sides were separated by less than two hundred meters of sea. On one side, Ye Tian stood alone at the bow of the research vessel with the stunningly beautiful Wang Yuyan, and only a few people behind them.

On the other side was a well-armed, menacing professional team.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was so vast that it was despair-inducing.

However, neither side intended to linger there until nightfall.

The loudspeaker stopped broadcasting, but Ye Tian could clearly see that the black-clad combat personnel on the speedboat had begun exchanging clear tactical hand signals.

Some people were checking the weapons, while others were pointing to the sides and stern of the Submariner, seemingly discussing a plan to force their way onto the ship.

Another large ship also began to slowly adjust its posture, preparing to coordinate the pressure.

"Brother Ye, we can't wait any longer. Once they're ready, we won't have time left."

Let's just go for it! The explosives I made are enough to send them all to their deaths!

Although Sun Yongqiang knew that Ye Tian was highly skilled in martial arts, the other side had a large number of people, and each of them was well-equipped and armed with guns.

Even if Ye Tian is incredibly powerful, he can't possibly be a match for so many people all by himself.

He had received so much kindness from Ye Tian in Diancheng, and even if it cost him his life, he was determined to drag all his enemies down to hell.

"Boss Sun, even if we can wipe them out in a direct confrontation, what will happen to the people on our ship?"

The enemy had a large number of people and was well-equipped, while we only had a few ordinary people on our ship.

Even if one slips through the net and comes to kill us when we're not paying attention, these ordinary people are no match for them.

Moreover, our ships are slower than theirs, so even if we let them go first, they can't escape.

Let me think of a better way.

Ye Tian's mind raced.

Wang Yuyan had just sent out the message when, even if reinforcements arrived, they would be too far away to help her in the present.

Now he has to rely on himself.

He had to come up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.

Just as a crew member on the opposing ship raised his hand, preparing to make a final, powerful attack gesture.

"Wait a moment!"

Ye Tian suddenly raised his hand and made a pause gesture.

His voice boomed like thunder, filled with an undeniable authority, successfully attracting the attention of the opposing commander.

"What you want is also negotiable!"

Ye Tian's voice rose again.

"But I'd like to know, who among you is qualified to negotiate with me here!"

Ye Tian took a step forward, almost standing at the very edge of the bow of the ship.

His gaze was sharp as lightning, fixed on a tall, dark figure standing at the very front of the speedboat; that must be their commander.

"According to the agreement on the exploration of marine relics in the high seas, those of us who first discover and salvage the seabed relics are the owners of the relics."

You came up here and tried to take it from us by force; that's not in accordance with the rules.

No matter who's behind you, once word gets out that you've done this, no one can protect you.

I am very pleased to inform you that we have just sent out your ship information.

You have lost your chance to silence them.

If you want what I have now, the only way you can achieve your goal is for your boss to talk to me personally.

Every word Ye Tian spoke was like a hammer blow striking the silent sea, striking the hearts of everyone on the other side.

He was gambling that these people wouldn't dare to act recklessly and risk the reputation of the powerful, mysterious organization behind the scenes.

"I know you're just doing this for money. Is it worth risking your life for that little bit of money?"

If you take action against us now, the mysterious organization behind you will surely use your lives to silence public opinion in order to salvage its reputation.

Don't disbelieve me, with the power of the four major families in Jiangcheng, the Wang family and the Murong family, even if you all handed over your lives, it wouldn't be enough to quell their anger.

Do you think the mysterious organization behind you is fighting the four major families for the sake of you insignificant people?

As Ye Tian finished speaking, a suffocating silence fell over the sea.

On the speedboat, the commander who was being stared at by Ye Tian clearly showed a change in expression.

Although they were not close and there was a mask between them, Ye Tian could still sense that the killing intent emanating from him, which was preparing to act, had become slightly stagnant.

The commander did not respond immediately, nor did he make any gesture to continue approaching.

He pondered for a moment with a serious expression, then turned his head and whispered a few words to a teammate next to him.

The team member immediately picked up a uniquely shaped tablet and started typing rapidly, seemingly checking or verifying something.

Wang Yuyan's heart was pounding in her throat as she nervously watched the other person's reaction.

When she saw Ye Tian's calm expression beside her, her tense heart inexplicably relaxed.

Although she didn't know what Ye Tian was going to do, she trusted his judgment.

Another ten or so seconds or so passed.

The opposing commander appeared to have finished reviewing the information on the equipment.

He slowly raised his head and looked once again at the upright figure at the bow of the Submariner.

Ye Tian could feel the scrutinizing gaze, cold and sharp, carrying an unusual meaning.

"Wait, I'll go find someone qualified to negotiate with you!"

The commander did not pick up the megaphone again.

He raised his hand and gestured to the team members on the speedboat to pause and wait for orders.

Then, he turned around and gestured towards the huge research vessel next to him.

Then, the commander himself, accompanied by two fully armed team members, left the speedboat blocking their way and boarded a small transport boat lowered from the research vessel.

The transport boat's engine emitted a deep starting sound, cutting through the dark seawater and heading straight for the Submariner.

The sound of an engine grew louder as it approached, leaving a trembling line on the still sea.

Ye Tian stood at the bow of the boat, watching the small boat approach and the three increasingly clear, cold, dark figures on it.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.
