Gu Hang was dumbfounded when he heard that the fleet organized with great difficulty by the Spiderweb Domain was persuaded to defect en masse by Humphrey Paolo's lone arrival, including the onboard Star Realm Army.
Especially when some detailed rumors came through, they were even more unbelievable to Gu Hang.
The name of the surrendering Admiral was Bowen Melandri.
The Tribunal imprisoned and interrogated his family, friends, and searched his residence and office, uncovering some confidential and non-public information in the subsequent investigation of Admiral Melandri.
It was mentioned that Melandri had known Paul from before, and they had fought alongside each other. According to his relatives, Melandri had a very favorable impression of Paul, describing him as a "resolute, inspiring, and trustworthy leader."
