The sudden outburst from Lei Zhen slightly shocked Candice considering how he was always calm and composed.
After the outburst though, Lei Zhen faked a cough and apologized for his behavior.
"Sorry about that, but the situation is just kind of frustrating, to say the least. Ships from all over the world never had to experience such a problem with the import and export rising steadily." He calmly said, justifying his anger.
Meanwhile, Candice suddenly had a look of guilt as she lowered her head.
"I-I think I know the reason why the wind informed me about this." She said timidly, almost as if she was afraid of getting into trouble.
Lei Zhen raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"What are you so afraid of? Don't forget that you have saved us all from a confrontation that could ruin us?" He kindly reminded her of her great feat.
Alas, his gentle reminder seemed to have made it worse as Candice stood up from her seat and went to her knees.
