Captain of Destiny

Though MAN-HO successfully lifts the morale of the troops, YEE-TAI, who seeks revenge on his son's death, schemes to have MAN-HO fail the mission of wiping out the pirates and have him executed by the Emperor. Worse yet, HON YUNG starts sowing discord among the navy, maneuvering two groups of the soldiers into infighting. Exhausted both mentally and physically, MAN-HO finds himself not only at his wits' end but also under fire from all angles, above which he even contracts Malaria, pushing him to the brink of death. Seeing that the relationship between CHEUNG PO-TSAI and TAI-MUI is developing quickly, LAU SING and the others are all thrilled with joy thinking that TAI-MUI will soon marry CHEUNG PO-TSAI. The family members of the pirates are busy sending gold jewellery to TAI-MUI as gifts, congratulating her on becoming PO's soon-to-be wife. In spite of his sickness, MAN-HO still tries to handle the routine affairs, however, and the conflicts between the two groups of the soldiers have gone far beyond his control. SIU-FU frankly admits that only through HON YUNG can they pour oil on troubled waters, leaving MAN-HO no other choice but to agree with him. In view of this, HA SIM goes to the naval barracks without permission to have a word with YEE-TAI and HON YUNG, during which YEE-TAI wants HA SIM to pay with her life for his son. That night, HON YUNG finds HA SIM, threatening to rape her.
