Although the citizens had gathered to give them a warm welcome, Nathan and his family did not make a public appearance.
Despite the fact that his identity as Eurasia's Chief Military Governor was already revealed to the public, Nathan had yet to show his face.
After the incident of his family being held hostage, Nathan became extra careful with his privacy. He didn't wish to put them in danger again.
Keeping a low profile, Nathan and the rest of his soldiers returned to the
Southern Fleet.
He then handed Zach all of the work that was required after the drill. Under the watch of Colin and the Elite Eight, Nathan and his family left the base to return home.
Along the journey, Colin brought Nathan up to speed with the latest news as he drove.
“Sir, after the Secret Service got control of Jessica, they were able to get proof of her involvement in the kidnapping. Furthermore, she has also divulged a few other pieces of information under torture. Unfortunately, they got careless.
While in captivity, Jessica found a way to commit suicide. She must have done it to prevent herself from exposing more information. Despite their best efforts, they failed to keep her alive,” Collin stated solemnly.
Jessica is dead...
Nathan's brows knitted together.
On the other hand, Penny was dumbfounded by the news. I can't believe a traitorous Ariarica woman like her chose to kill herself.
For a few moments, Nathan remained silent before he spoke. “Death was the better option. Her life wouldn't be easy if she chose to live.” The calmness in his tone revealed his indifference. “Since she chose to commit suicide for her country, return her corpse to Ariarica and tell them the truth behind her death. Let's see if they will be brave enough to publish it!”
“Sir, in order to get revenge on you, they even dispatched the Wasp Special Attack Unit to kidnap Mrs. Cross and Ms. Smith! Even Jessica, Ariarica's Minister of Foreign Affairs, got involved. I believe Ariarica will choose to keep Jessica's death a secret to keep things under wraps,” Colin replied.
“Of course they would. They are the ones in the wrong here.”
