In just a few hours, Jurgis' family gathered twenty billion and transferred it to the bank account of Eurasia's Board of Revenue as requested by Nathan.
Jurgis and his trusted subordinates were allowed to board a helicopter and return to Eagleland.
Jermaine, the leader of the Dragon Warriors, came to ask for Nathan's instructions.
In a respectful tone, he asked, “President Cross, are we going to sail back to Eurasia now?”
Nathan replied, “I remember the naval army has a mission to complete. Have you completed your mission?”
An awkward expression took over Jermaine's face.
He answered honestly, “President Cross, our mission is to protect the maritime trade route and defeat the pirates. This time, we ran across some small pirate crews and destroyed them entirely to protect the maritime trade route. Our mission has ended, but at the same time, not really.”
Nathan was initially satisfied with Jermaine's answer, but the latter's last sentence displeased him. “What do you mean your mission has ended, but at the same time, not really?”
Jermaine revealed, “President Cross, we defeated the pirates as ordered to protect the maritime trade route. However, we discovered an island called Mille Crescent Island nearby through this mission. There are over five hundred thousand inhabitants on that island. The inhabitants are pretty diverse. Some are natives, but some are pirates who made the island their home base. Besides, there are also mercenaries, drug traffickers, gambling gangs, and scam gangs on the island. It is known as the lawless land and is a paradise for criminals.” Nathan furrowed his brows. “You want to raze down this paradise and arrest all the criminals there?”
