With an air of arrogance, Chongdu surveyed the neatly arranged Submarine Company's Guardian Team and delivered an ultimatum:
"Bring out the captain in charge here.
Tell him that from today onwards, this submarine belongs to us.
If you don't want to die, you better do as I say.
Once I have the captain and the submarine, I might consider sparing you."
The Submarine Company's Guardian Team, with stern faces, had many members who had survived more than one pirate takeover.
Those who dared attempt piracy were mostly arrogant and domineering like Chongdu.
If he thought such threats alone could scare them off, he was greatly underestimating the Submarine Company's Guardian Team.
The Guard Captain stepped forward, dismissively responding to Chongdu's demands:
"I'm aware of your Spiny Scale Lizard's expansion activities.
Our company has always adhered to the philosophy of coexisting peacefully with other races, with the hope that all races can interact equally and peacefully.
