The driver instinctively asked in Japanese, “Anada…”


    Before the Japanese man could finish speaking, Wu Bolin (Bick) scanned the crowd with a sharp gaze and said coldly, “Who can speak Chinese? Come out and speak!”


    As soon as he said that, the eyes of the dozen or so people present were momentarily stunned.


    For Wu Bolin (Bick), calming these people down was just a matter of a single thought.


    However, calming others down does not mean controlling them. Only those who can understand hismands will obey him and be controlled by him. Those who cannot understand hismands are now as if they have lost consciousness and can only stand still.


    Soon, a young man stepped out from among those who had been restrained. He took a few steps forward, stood in front of Wu Bolin (Bick), and said in fluent Chinese, “I can speak Chinese. I studied at a university in China.”


    Wu Bolin (Bick) nodded in satisfaction and asked him, “What’s your name?”


    The other person respectfully replied, “My name is Matsushita Heikichi.”


    Wu Bolin (Bick) waved his hand dismissively: “What Matsushita and Matsushita? From now on, you’re ackey. Do whatever I tell you to do, and address me as ‘this humble one,’ understand?”


    Matsushita Heikichi immediately replied with utmost devotion, “I obey yourmand.”


    Wu Bolin (Bick) grunted and asked him, “Hey youckey, how many people are on your ship in total?”


    Matsushita Heikichi said, “There are 26 crew members on board, as well as 22 members of the scientific expedition team.”


    Wu Bolin (Bick) frowned and asked, “I just had someone shout for help from the fishing boat, why didn’t you help?”


    Matsushita Heikichi quickly replied, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to help, but the captain ordered us to go full speed ahead, and I had no choice but toply.”


    “Captain…” Wu Bolin (Bick) snorted coldly, then opened his right hand, and powerful spiritual energy spread from his palm, invisibly surrounding the entire research vessel.


    In that instant, hepletely captivated the attention of everyone on the ship.


    Then, he looked at Matsushita Heikichi and said coldly, “Now you can shout in Japanese and make everyone on the ship obey your orders and follow your lead!”


    Matsushita Heikichi immediatelyplied, picked up the microphone on the walkie-talkie, switched the channel to shipwide broadcast, and rattled off a string of words in Japanese, the gist of which was that everyone must strictly obey his orders from now on.


    After he finished speaking, Wu Bolin (Bick) added, “Tell everyone to carry out their work as usual, and to maintain contact with the outside world as usual, without revealing any clues.”


    These people were like robots waiting for orders, just waiting for amand to be given, and then instinctively obeying. So when Matsushita Heikichi gave them themand in Japanese, everyone immediately threw themselves into their original work, as if nothing had happened. However, once Matsushita Heikichi gave themand, they would do their best to carry it out.


    Matsushita Heikichi only obeys Wu Bolin (Bick)’s orders, so Wu Bolin (Bick) can control everyone at will by simply using Matsushita Heikichi’s Chinese and Japanesenguage skills.


    Immediately afterwards, he said to Matsushita Heikichi, “Lackey, use the walkie-talkie to call your captain over here!”


    Matsushita Heikichi bowed respectfully, then immediately picked up his microphone and gave orders to the captain.


    Soon, the gray-haired captain rushed over.


    Upon seeing him enter, Matsushita Heikichi said to Wu Bolin (Bick), “This is our captain.”


    Wu Bolin (Bick) stared at him with piercing eyes, initially wanting to smash him to dust with one blow, but then he thought that since this guy was the captain, his professional skills must be up to par, and he would need these people to do things for him in the future, so he couldn’t kill the most senior and experienced captain.


    However, thinking about how that bastard had just “failed to save me,” Wu Bolin (Bick) still felt a bit resentful. So he coldly said to Matsushita Heikichi, “Tell that bastard to take off his clothes and stand at the bow of the ship as punishment!”
