“Mr. Steer, let’s hurry up and leave! Otherwise, we’re really going to die here!”
Dark Sin said anxiously, as Tiger was leading a large army toward them. Once Tiger arrived with his men, their fate was sealed.
With a sigh, Ironheart Steer finally conceded, “At this point, we have no other choice!”
After saying this, Ironheart Steer and Dark Sin boarded a speedboat and made their escape alone. As for the members of the Hall of Valerian and the several hundred billion dollars, he could no longer concern himself with them.
After nearly an hour or two of battle, all members of the Hall of Valerian and the pirates were annihilated.
“Report to Commander Tiger, eighty thousand pirates annihilated! Twenty thousand Hall of Valerian members! Several hundred billion dollars seized!”
“Where is Ironheart Steer?”
“Ironheart Steer has escaped! Also, we have rescued thousands of hostages.”
“And the boss? Why haven’t I seen the boss and his wife?”
After hesitating, the subordinate reported, “Commander Tiger, we received information that when the boss and his wife were escaping in a helicopter, Ironheart Steer hit the helicopter with a portable missile, and then both of them jumped into the sea…”
“What?”
Tiger was shocked.
He had never anticipated that Chris and Esther would jump into the sea. If something happened to Chris, he would never forgive himself. Tiger clenched his teeth and ordered, “At all costs, find the boss!”
“Understood!”
At the command, countless speedboats, warships, and vessels were deployed. However, even after several hours of searching, Chris and Esther remained untraceable. With no other option, Tiger reported the news to the Amerosian War Department.
The Amerosian War Department was completely shaken by the news of Chris’s disappearance. The disappearance of the esteemed Amerosia Primus was too significant an event. The War Department did not dare to delay and immediately reported to Master William.
In Middleton, at the Golden Throne within the palace, Master William sat on the dragon throne with a grim expression, holding a report of Chris’s disappearance.
“By my decree, find Chris at all costs!”
The sacred command was issued, and Amerosia was in turmoil.
The East Coast Legion! The South Coast Legion! The North Coast Legion! The West Coast Legion! The four great armies, with hundreds of warships, set out for the Caribbean to find Chris.
Alligator, Phoenix, and Lynx also received news of Chris and Esther’s disappearance. Apart from Alligator, Phoenix and Lynx also led large armies to the Caribbean in search of Chris.
The Phoenix Legion, deployed! The Lynx Legion, deployed! The Tiger Legion, deployed! The Guards of Death, deployed! Nearly a million troops from the four great legions rushed to the Caribbean.
Such a massive mobilization by Amerosia instantly shocked the world. Kamassa reacted most strongly. The Caribbean was Kamassa’s backyard, and Amerosia’s massive deployment raised serious questions about their intentions.
Their nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle groups were all deployed! Suddenly, the entire world was shocked. Everyone was unsure what had happened. What were Amerosia and Kamassa really up to? Was this the spark for World War III?
Countries around the world sent their intelligence personnel to the Caribbean to find out what was happening. Soon, news spread globally. The Caribbean pirates, one hundred thousand strong, had been annihilated by Amerosia.
Thousands of wealthy individuals, kidnapped, were rescued by Amerosia. Meanwhile, Amerosia Primus vanished in the Caribbean Sea. The news spread globally, causing a sensation. Known to all, Amerosia Primus, especially under the alias Chris as the General of Death, was a figure whose reputation echoed throughout the underworld. Now, the General of Death had disappeared; how could this be possible?
It was no wonder Amerosia had mobilized such a massive effort following his disappearance. Suddenly, the Caribbean Sea became a global focal point. Naval forces from numerous countries converged, all seeking Chris’s whereabouts.
At that moment, in Middleton, Daniel Williams was furious. Sitting on a tiger-skin rocking chair, he bellowed, “Incompetents! Are you both useless?”
He was referring to the complete destruction of ten thousand pirates and thirty thousand Hall of Valerian practitioners, along with the loss of several hundred billion dollars.
“Where is my money?”
he roared, his heart bleeding over the loss.
“Your Highness, spare our lives!”
pleaded Ironheart Steer and Dark Sin, kneeling on the ground in terror. Ironheart Steer looked up and said, “Although we lost several hundred billion dollars and thirty thousand Hall of Valerian practitioners, I managed to hit Chris’s helicopter. It is likely that Chris is more dead than alive.
If Chris is dead, no one will be able to hinder Your Highness’s great cause, and your ascension to the throne will be imminent!”
“Hmph,” Daniel Williams snorted, “Don’t celebrate too soon. As the saying goes, ‘No body, no death.’ Without seeing Chris’s corpse, we cannot be careless!”
He looked sternly at Ironheart Steer and said, “I’ll give you one more chance to redeem yourself. You and Dark Sin, lead fifty thousand Hall of Valerian members to the Caribbean. Spare no effort and find Chris. If he is dead, bring me his body!”
“Yes!”
Ironheart Steer nodded vigorously.
At the same time, in the Atlantic Ocean, on an uninhabited island, night fell and the sea breeze howled. On the beach, a bonfire blazed. Chris and Esther sat beside the fire, the endless ocean in the distance. They had jumped from the helicopter into the sea and, fortunately, survived.
Unfortunately, they were now stranded on a deserted island. Chris’s satellite phone had fallen into the depths of the ocean during their jump, leaving them without any means to contact the outside world.
“Dear, where are we?”
Esther asked blankly.
Looking up at the stars, Chris replied after a moment, “If I’m not mistaken, we should have left the Caribbean Sea. We’re probably on an uninhabited island in the Atlantic Ocean.”
“Oh!”
Esther exclaimed, shocked to find herself marooned.
Touching her stomach, she said, “Dear, I’m so hungry. What should we do now?”
“Are you hungry, my love? I’ll catch some fish for you from the sea!”
