Chapter 1263: Chapter 1263

As he spoke, Xu Hao reached out and summoned a few children onto the stele.

Xu Hao's speed was very fast, and he quickly selected three hundred children, placing them all on the stele.

Xu Hao used Qi force to form a protective shield, enveloping the entire stele to prevent some children from being thrown into the sea due to the bumpy ride.

Moreover, Xu Hao also rescued Cass and Ace.

Although both were old men, and they both declined, Xu Hao still chose to save them. After all, they were now his subordinates.

The children sitting on the stele were very curious, all looking downwards, but the slightly older ones were more inclined to look at their parents on the ship. In their eyes, you could clearly sense reluctance, and many children began to cry.

At this moment, someone shouted angrily, "Xu Hao, you can't just act on your own whim. Why didn't you save my child? And what's the use of saving those two old men who are already one foot in the grave?"

Xu Hao looked at the person speaking and said indifferently, "I can only save these people; I can't save more. Cass and Ace are my subordinates; why shouldn't I save them? Do I need your permission to decide whom to save?" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novelFɪre.net

Xu Hao was getting a bit angry. This person was taking himself too seriously, even coming to dictate to him. Who gave him the face?

The person retorted coldly, "But they're just two old men, anyway. They won't live a few more years. Why bother saving them? Wouldn't it be better to save a few more children?"

Many people also expressed their disapproval of Xu Hao's actions, feeling he shouldn't have saved the two old men.

Xu Hao snorted coldly, "I'll save whoever I want, and it's not for you to comment. If you're capable, why don't you try saving someone? If not, then shut your mouth for me!"

Hearing Xu Hao's words, those people finally had to shut up, as they really didn't have the capability.

However, their eyes were filled with displeasure as they looked at Xu Hao, feeling that Xu Hao's actions were very wrong.

Xu Hao ignored these unreasonable people, not caring about their opinions.

Looking at those desperate people who didn't manage to get a lifeboat, Annie said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, Master, you have such a divine beast to assist you; otherwise, the death toll in this accident would have been higher!"

Xu Hao said grimly, "Originally, none of these people needed to die, but they all didn't listen to me. I have no choice. I've already contacted my subordinates, and they've purchased several ships from Canada, rushing here at full speed. Hopefully, by then, we can rescue some people."

With thousands of lives at stake, Xu Hao still hoped to save as many as possible.

While speaking, the ship directly collided with an iceberg!

Because the speed was slow, the impact wasn't very significant, but the ship's hull still had a huge hole, with seawater pouring in unchecked as the ship slowly sank.

Everyone grabbed some floating objects, hoping they could struggle on the sea for a while using them.

But, in reality, at sea, even with calm conditions, relying on these floating objects makes it hard to survive; a slight wave could be enough to push them into the water.

As the ship was sinking, a vortex formed around the hull, and in an instant, it swallowed hundreds of lives!

The remaining people hurriedly fled, but some were still knocked into the sea by waves during their escape, losing their lives.

Ya Ge and Hai Ka, under Bart's leadership, sat on a piece of wood, quickly moving away from the hull, safe and sound, while Pei Gen also saved a few people.

Ya Ge sighed, "After this incident, our Miel Family's cruise industry will suffer a fatal blow, just like the Titan Family that built the Titanic back in the day. However, fortunately for our family, unlike the Titan Family, the cruise industry is just a branch for us. Even if we abandon it completely, it won't hurt us irreparably."

Annie said coldly, "However, this Freedom of the Seas sinking incident will also deal a heavy blow to your Miel Family's reputation. At least for the next six months, the safety of all facilities your family manufactures will likely be questioned."

Hai Ka snorted, "Hmph! Who are you to butt in here?!"

Xu Hao suddenly made a move, slapping Hai Ka across the face from a distance, leaving a prominent handprint, then said coldly, "When my people speak, who are you to cut in with your comments?"

Seeing Xu Hao stand up for her , Annie was instantly moved.

Ya Ge snorted lightly and said, "There's no need for Miss Annie to worry about the affairs of our Miel Family. On the contrary, you should be more concerned about how to handle the upcoming matters, after all, there are hundreds of lives tied to Xu Hao's decisions."

Xu Hao said coldly, "Ya Ge, if you dare say one more word, do you believe I'll make you die right now?! Don't assume I'm someone easy to reason with!"
