Echelon Systems
Backfires

Nathan, Harry, Kevin, and Robby fall asleep for a full day because of exhaustion that makes the women forced turn to control their ship so as not to go off track.

Although initially struggling because they are not used to it and are afraid of getting their ship ship wrecked, but slowly Emilia, Julia, Amanda, and Gisela begin to be able to control the ship with the help of records provided by Kevin.

Liu Yifei, who is now joined, seemed happy and began to learn English with the help of Emilia and three other women.

Until the next day when the men woke up, the gaze of the four of them immediately became empty when they saw that their ship was now stranded on a small island that only had a stretch of sand.

When looking at the state of the ship's crumpled decks and torn sails and some damaged poles make the men quite made to feel sorry.

"Wouldn't my proposal to take turns controlling this ship is good enough and not let them do it. See, this is why I didn't agree with Kevin's proposal from the start..." Said Harry while staring at the condition of the ship stunned.

Kevin who was blamed by Harry could not be evaded and felt sorry for proposing the idea so that the four of them could rest for a full day.

Below are seen the women who now appear to have fun on the sand island while playing a volleyball together with a little girl.

*******

A short time later now their ship is about to sail back as before with the right direction like never before.

Emilia, Julia, Amanda, and Gulia are now sitting facing four men who are looking at them with annoyance.

"It's not fair, why just us while Liu Yifei isn't?" Said Emilia who protested while looking at Liu Yifei who was being carried by Nathan.

"Don't you have the feeling of making two women in the sun?" Julia added to the protest carried out by Emilia.

Harry who got a sharp look from Julia of course felt angry, as well as Kevin who was stared intently by Amanda. Robby also got the same sharp glare from Gulia and felt riled up, while Nathan who was being stared at like that by Emilia seemed to not budge in the least.

A block of wood then Nathan took and pointed at the women while looking at them with a cold gaze.

"Don't ask a lot, aren't you the one who always proposes what gender equality is?" Nathan handed Liu Yifei over to Robby and walked up to the four women while dragging a wooden block.

Seeing Nathan carrying a block of wood large enough to make the guts of the four women become shriveled and know the consequences if until the beam hit their heads.

Nathan then stands right in front of Emilia, Julia, Amanda, and Gisela. "Are you able to explain what really happened until this ship looked like a ghost ship just overnight?"

The women who saw the wooden block in Nathan's hand as well as the cold expression of the man's own face, made them feel intimidated and did not dare to look at his face directly not least Emilia though.

Not only the women, the men also felt the same way and could not say a word from their mouths when they wanted to reprimand Nathan who was considered a little harsh to the women.

Minutes after no one answered, Nathan swung the wooden block in his hand to shatter as it clashed with a sail post.

This made everyone there shocked especially for the women that one of them was now wetting fear while the other three wanted to cry.

Nathan sighed and then started listening to every word Liu Yifei said. From what Liu Yifei said it was revealed that last night there was a storm, and the women did not want to ask for help because they thought they could do the four of them until the thing before it happened.

Hearing Liu Yifei's explanation, Nathan massaged his forehead and felt a little dizzy with the attitude of the women who did the proving ground while in danger.

But Nathan can't blame them and chooses to go back inside and have Harry do the rest.

"You shouldn't be selfish like that, I know what you're thinking. But you should be aware, some things you can't do sometimes and it's the job of the men to do them. Do you understand?" Said Harry.

"We understand..." Reply Emilia, Julia, Amanda, and Gisela compactly in a lethargic tone.

"Now settle down on each of you, especially Amanda..." Harry said as he looked at Amanda who was now in the middle of a puddle.

The four women then went to clean themselves up to Liu Yifei, while the men went back to work on their duties.

On the other hand Nathan is drinking Wine in his room while staring out the window thinking of a plan for the future.

"Can't you be gentle in front of a woman, at least in front of your own wife huh?" Emilia asked who was now right behind Nathan.

"I'm sorry, I just did what a woman would want to say about gender equality..." Nathan said as he drank Wine in the glass in his hand.

Emilia who was struck by Nathan's words then pulled the man's clothes until now they can face each other.

"Can you stop that now?" Emilia asked in annoyance as she looked at Nathan who had a flat expression on his face.

Nathan downed all the Wine in his glass and put it on his desk. He then walked closer to corner Emilia on the wall.

"Stop what? I didn't do anything from earlier. " Nathan asked back while looking into Emilia's eyes deeply.

Instead of being afraid of Nathan's gaze, Emilia pulled the man's collar while looking back at him as if she wanted to challenge him.

"Do your eyes want me to gouge? Don't look at me like that..." Said Emilia in a cold tone.

Nathan who saw Emilia's expression then laughed. "Are you angry because it made you almost cry earlier? Then I'm sorry..."

Emilia grieves and pushes Nathan up on the bed and sits right on top of him. "If you repeat it again beware..."

"Review why, I can't die here anyway..." Nathan's words immediately made Emilia point sharp nails at his eyes.

"That's great, because that way you'll feel the pain all the time..." Reply Emilia while smiling thinly like a psychopath.

Nathan who initially seemed calm and brave must now submit when he received a threat from Emilia who did not play games.
