A few naval ships were sailing fiercely across the Southern seas.
In front of the fleet, there was a flagship with a tall man standing on the fore.
The tall man had a good physique. Feet spread apart, arms crossed, the whole body radiating with a powerful stance of a soldier; he looked like a javelin.
The same man was wearing a black war robe and on it were the words, “Black Tornado”.
That tall man was the one who had close relations with powerful countries in Ospea; the one who was acknowledged by many as the pirate king. He was none other than Captain Zachery of the Black Tornado.
Zachery had the stance of an eagle as he unsheathed his sword, which made him seem very skilled and powerful.
At this moment, one of his men appeared by his side and reported, “Captain, we have arrived at the offshore boundary of Eurasia. If we keep moving ahead, we'll be entering Eurasia's territorial seas soon. When that happens, we'll attract the attention of the Eurasia navy, resulting in a chase or even an assault from them.”
Zachery let out a faint smile and uttered, “Ah, my dear motherland. After all these years, I'm finally back.”
“Prepare a small sailing boat for me. I'll return to my homeland alone while you guys should leave. After I've settled the old grudges, I'll head back to the headquarters.” Zachery gave out an order.
Flustered, one of his men queried, “Captain, there's still a distance of about twenty nautical miles between us and the shore. You with your small boat would have to sail across this vast of a distance by your lonesome. What if something dangerous happens to..."
Zachery put up a cold smile and responded, “Ha, I joined the Eurasia navy when I was eighteen and formed The Black Tornado ten years later. Now I'm already thirty-three years old. That means I've spent half of my life out here on the sea. So, do you still think I can't handle myself on the sea?”
“Even if God wants to take me home, I won't let it. With that said, just listen to me and follow my orders!” he instructed sternly.
The men couldn't think of a rebuttal, so they obediently replied, “Yes, Captain!”
In no time at all, the men were done preparing the small boat for Zachery.
Zachery then instructed, “Later, tell The Twelve Windstorm Riders to meet up with me in Eurasia.”
After that, he leaped off from the flagship like a cannonball being fired away and landed steadily onto the small boat which was a hectometer away.
Meanwhile, the fleet behind him slowly turned around and left.
On the other hand, Nathan and Penny arrived at Channing safely.
The two of them walked out of the Channing airport only to be greeted fervently by Kylie, Benson, an emotional Queenie, Leah, and the female bodyguard, Ava.
After hearing the news that Nathan was dismissed from his position, Ava had adamantly handed her resignment application over to the North Army.
She chose to stay in the Smith family and continued protecting Nathan's family.
