His voice carried the genuine richness of an Arab accent.

Just by hearing it, one could sense that the speaker was a noble son.

Jiang Man turned in surprise, searching for the familiar voice.

Her gaze followed the man who approached against the light, his posture erect and stride vigorous.

His silhouette backlit, he seemed to be cast in shadow.

Further emphasized by the armed peacekeeping soldiers flooding in behind him,

this scene gave the impression of a divine being descending to save the world.

The Prince glanced toward the newcomer, recognizing the peacekeepers from Z country.

However, the man at the center was not in military uniform, which left the Prince uncertain of his status.

Baiguo had cordial relations with Z country, having purchased many of their heavy guns at a high price.

So seeing the peacekeepers from Z country, the Prince immediately became more accommodating.

He performed a gesture of respect from Baiguo, then straightened his back, "I don’t know what this gentleman implies?"

Despite the outward show of respect, the Prince internally felt repelled, thinking this man had spoiled his sophisticated moment.

Lu Xingzhou was not in military attire but wore a teal-colored Zhongshan suit with a sense of historical charm. He didn’t look like a military officer but more like a civil official.

His entire demeanor had transformed, exuding an unapproachable mystique.

For the first time, Jiang Man saw this side of him, even feeling as if he were a celebrity stepped right out of a movie.

Gentle and refined yet not lacking in masculinity and a threatening air.

He embodied the dignity and authority of the Chinese heritage.

The peacekeeping troops behind him shared his temperament, all exemplifying the same strong and resolute presence.

The group dispersed in an orderly fashion, well-trained as they set about handling the aftermath.

Jiang Man’s eyebrows lifted, her surprise lingering for quite some time.

It was only when Lu Xingzhou approached her and softly called out, "Wife,"

still in Arabic,

that it became clear he was declaring his jurisdiction to the Prince.

After uttering those two words, he reached out with a large hand, "Come, let’s go home."

The Prince could hardly believe his ears, and even his eyes.

"You... are married?"

"Yes," Lu Xingzhou stated with conviction.

The Prince opened his mouth to speak but eventually swallowed his words.

"What happened?" Jiang Man let the man take her hand, casting a glance at the submarine floating on the water’s surface.

Its silver-gray body at first glance resembled a giant bullet head.

Upon closer inspection, it appeared more like a colossal whale, lurking on the surface as if ready to stir up a storm at any moment.

The submarine was now surfaced, allowing entry through the top hatch.

If entering from underwater, a full dive suit would be necessary.

Lu Xingzhou, playing it safe, ordered someone to bring a diving suit to Jiang Man.

Jiang Man waved it off, "It’s not needed. To capture the thieves, capture their king. With the Blackwater leader caught, those underlings are leaderless and can’t stir up much trouble. Even if they try, that will be later down the line. By then, the peacekeeping troops and Baiguo’s navy would have largely dealt with them. In the end, they won’t be able to make any waves."

She spoke with a light-hearted tone that seemed overconfident, yet she was in fact assured.

The Red Alliance had already thoroughly scoped out the Blackwater situation.

The Blackwater Pirates had a total of over twenty thousand members.

Apart from Kuma and other key figures who lived at sea year-round, the remaining eighteen thousand or so normally resided in various fishing villages.

They acted as both civilians and soldiers, usually indistinguishable from ordinary villagers.

Once summoned by Kuma, they would immediately pick up their weapons and once again play the role of pirates.

But in fact, most of these people had their own families and cherished their lives; they didn’t want to entangle their family members.

Therefore, the actual fixed pirate force consisted of only about a thousand men.

She had already instructed Seth to cleverly pass this intelligence to the Prince of the Bai Kingdom.

She wouldn’t interfere with the follow-up cleanup work anymore.

Her mission in the gulf could be considered perfectly accomplished.

Jiang Man jumped into the submarine, feeling very excited.

Even though the Wu Family was in the arms trade, their submarines paled in comparison to the one she was on, the Jiaolong.

When she arrived at the sand table command center, she saw a marked red dot—wasn’t it the place where she had met with Kuma last night?

At sea, you couldn’t specify exact locations, so latitude and longitude were used to define precise points.

The accuracy of such points was 100%.

"So, the Water Sharks last night were dispatched by the peacekeeping force?" Jiang Man turned around, looked Lu Xingzhou up and down, "Why are you here? What is your relationship with the peacekeeping troops?"

Lu Xingzhou did not answer her question but stared at her intensely, "What’s going on with that prince?"

"That’s a long story." Jiang Man began to feel sleepy.

She had only dozed off for a while in the morning since last night.

She hadn’t felt too tired because she had been on edge the whole time.

But now that everything was over, her tightly wound nerves suddenly relaxed, and she felt utterly exhausted.

She wandered around the sand table for a while but didn’t venture into areas marked as off-limits.

She found a rest room and leaned back on the single bed.

...

Since the clean-up work still required Lu Xingzhou’s command,

after dropping Jiang Man and the others at the seaport, the two groups parted ways.

Jiang Man had a good long sleep.

When she woke up and opened her eyes, she realized it was already dark outside.

The Sailboat Hotel, as usual, displayed a light show, with colorful lights shining on the sea surface, making the prosperity of the place visible for miles around.

"Miss, great news! Commander Chow has been contacted, and he has agreed to meet with you. He said it’s better to meet sooner than later, so he’s waiting for you tonight at nine o’clock at the Ocean Bar on the 54th floor of the Sailboat Hotel, sure to be there."

Hearing that her idol would meet with her, Jiang Man’s face revealed an expression befitting her age—for the first time, a mix of joyful excitement and a touch of girlish shyness.

She subconsciously took out her phone to call Lu Xingzhou.

But the call did not go through.

"Miss, after investigation, it seems that Lu Xingzhou has personally gone to the gulf to handle the issue of Lu’s cargo being hijacked by pirates. The peacekeeping troops must have assisted him. The lead commander this time is Chow."

"It’s either brother-in-law or Chow, huh." Wu Yingfan couldn’t help joking.

He wasn’t at the scene, but according to Vermilion Bird and Seth, when the Prince of Bai Kingdom hassled Man, Lu Xingzhou appeared like a god descending from heaven, quite impressive.

However, he was wearing a Zhongshan suit, standing out but not looking like the main commander.

Jiang Man was too tired at the time to inquire further.

"Probably not... Chow is a legend in the military... Although Lu Xingzhou is outstanding, he still falls a bit short when compared to Chow..."

Women like Vermilion Bird and Seth, who licked blood from the edge of the knife, all loved heroes.

Not to mention them, even the Miss had Chow as her idol.

Who wouldn’t love a man as majestic as an eagle?

"I’m just joking. Brother-in-law, with his skinny arms and legs, it’s fine for hitting the gym, but talking about going into battle, that’s just flowery punching and fancy kicking. But Man, your idol being Chow, does brother-in-law know that? If he gets jealous, tsk tsk, I can’t even imagine..."
