“Darryl!” When the storm came, Stella yelled for Darryl from the other boat; a worried expression had spread
across her delicate face. “Hide in the cabin. Hurry! Grab onto something, and don’t come out! The storm is
coming…”
Stella had grown up on Ice Fire Island since she was a child, so she was accustomed to the storms.
“Got it!” Darryl responded loudly. “Take care of yourself.”
As soon as he said that, the torrential rain got even heavier. A gust of wind carried the waves toward the boat. The
roaring wind drowned Darryl’s voice.
The sky had gotten darker, and it was almost impossible for them to see anything with the rain.
The boat spun and rolled frantically in that violent turbulence in the rough sea.
Was that the power of a sea storm? Darryl grasped the bolt of the cabin door tightly as he looked at the
environmental hazard outside. He felt emotional.
Darryl’s home was in Donghai City. He had grown up by the seaside, but that was his first time witnessing such a

“Argh!”
Yvette and the Empress were in the cabin; they were in a panic. Yvette could barely maintain her composure, and
the Empress continued to scream in fear. Even though she was the Empress, the perfect image of a mother of the
continent, she had lived in the palace for as long as she could remember. She had never experienced such a storm
before that.
“Yvette, hold on to your mother tightly and don’t panic. We’ll be fine.” Darryl gritted his teeth as he clutched the
door frame tightly. He placed himself at the entrance of the cabin as if to block the rain and waves.
As long as he stood guard at the cabin entrance, Yvette and the Empress would not fall into the water no matter
how the boat rocked.
Yvette nodded at Darryl before she took the Empress into her arms.
She was also panicked, but she was not afraid if Darryl were with her.
After he made sure that the two women were okay, he sighed in relief. Then, he turned to look at Stell to see if she
was okay.
Oh, no!
Darryl suddenly cried out loud in his mind.
He could only see the choppy sea and the deluge of rain that hit the water like the end of the world had arrived, but
there were no signs of Stella’s boat.
The storm must have drifted their boat in another direction.
However, he knew that Stella and her brothers would be able to cope with the situation as they had grown up on
Ice Fire Island.
Darryl tried to convince himself to think positively; he took a deep breath to calm his nerves and pray for Stella and
the others.
‘Stella, please stay safe!’
‘When will this damn storm stop?’
After about five or six hours, the storm gradually stopped.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDarryl had been stuck at the cabin entrance for about five to six hours; he was exhausted, and his legs were numb.
Yvette and the Empress’s clothes were also soaked, and they looked very miserable.
Thud!
As the dark clouds disappeared and the bright sunset glowed in the distance, Darryl relaxed his body and dropped
onto the floor.
Finally, the storm was over!
Crack…
As soon as he sat down, he heard the hull crack. They had rented the boat from the fishing village, and it had pretty
rough craftsmanship. It had started to fall apart after the rough waves battered it during the storm.
Darryl’s weight had utterly torn the boat apart.
Whoa…
The hull immediately broke apart. Darryl and Yvette were too late to react; all of them fell into the water.
Darryl had grown up by the seaside, so he knew how to swim.
Yvette and the Empress, on the other hand, panicked.
The Empress, who could not swim, shouted in trepidation, “Yvette! Hurry! Save me!”
Yvette swam toward her mother and hugged her waist to help her stay afloat.
