Jasper did not understand. So, Mr. McNeal hummed and replied, “You interacted with the people from the United States a lot. Those bastards are sinister and sly to the core,” Mr. McNeal started cursing.
He was not the same as he usually was.
“It has only been two days since our meeting, and they’re pretending like it’s in the past. They insisted on doing the exchange on their warship. How could I agree to that? I told them we have warships as well. Why don’t we just do it on ours?”
“We couldn’t reach an agreement, so the luxurious cruise from Southeast Terra will be the middle ground.”
At this moment, Jasper realized Somerland would not suffer any losses if they chose the cruise from Southeast Terra. This was because there were many wealthy merchants and political leaders worldwide on this cruise. So, the security on this cruise would be excellent.
If the United States wanted to try something on it, it would most likely backfire on them as there were wealthy merchants and global political leaders on the cruise. They might suffer if they tried anything.
“I see! This is as expected of you, Mr. McNeal. You have to be so tough when you’re interacting with those robbers.”
Mr. McNeal sighed and hung up the phone. Before that, he asked Jasper to wait for an update.
***
Soon, the day of the exchange arrived.
After Jasper got on the cruise, he looked around the lavish cruise, and it did feel like he was indulging in a life of luxury.
Cruises like this existed in all parts of the world. This place could be regarded as a moving city on the sea and a heaven for the rich.
At this moment, Mr. Boyle called Jasper. “Jasper, I’m on the cruise. Where are you? I want to thank you in person!”
“You don’t have to be so kind, Mr. Boyle. Where are you? I’ll go to you.”
