The Zi Tao watched everything from behind, burning with fury. They decided to teach the Hoop a
lesson.
Fong stood there, shocked by what had just happened. He was furious at what they had just seen.
‘Wake up everyone!’ Fong shouted loud enough for his crew to hear but quiet enough to still be
oblivious to Hoop. ‘I know this is your day off, but this is an emergency!’
Fong and Liu quickly filled them in on what had just happened and they decided to teach the Hoop a
lesson - a lesson they won’t forget.

‘Hey!’ Fong shouted to the Hoop, ‘we saw what you did just now!’
Jack took one look at the Zi Tao and burst out laughing.
‘Your ship looks rich,’ he said, and then, facing his team, he said, ‘let’s fire!’
However, the Chinese ship was prepared. They aimed their cannons and shot. Just like the Helina, the
Americans tried to lower their safety boats but were too late.
Fong closed his eyes. He hated killing, but if they didn’t, who knows what would happen to the oceans?
Fong took a deep breath and shouted, ‘China rules the sea!’
A loud applause followed.
