Yu Liang showed some hesitation, while Li Huazhao very tactfully snatched Li Xiang's hand and waved it vigorously twice, then said with a giggle, "Motherfucker, was it you who ditched me back then?"
"Originally, you still owed the first mate thirty thousand Barrel Coins, you know. Diving for Water-Repelling Pearls is a cushy job that ordinary people aren't qualified for, yet there you go, scarfing them down. No wonder the first mate left you behind; it's hardly surprising." Li Xiang grimaced as Li Huazhao's grip on his hand tightened. He quickly pulled his hand away, and said irritably to Li Huazhao, "However, you're in luck. I've explained the situation to the first mate, and you don't have to worry about those thirty thousand Barrel Coins you owed. Just stay out of the casinos from now on; you've lost your credit for borrowing too."
It looked like this Tier 2 crew member and Li Huazhao were quite familiar with each other, at least their atmosphere seemed pretty good.
