Jasper did not understand. So, Mr. McNeal hummed and replied, “You interacted with the people from the United States a lot. Those bastards are sinister and sly to the core,” Mr. McNeal started cursing.
He was not the same as favonovel.com usually was.
“It has only been two days since our meeting, and they’re pretending like it’s in the past. They insisted on doing the exchange on their warship. How could I agree to that? I told them we have warships as well. Why don’t we just do it on ours?”
“We couldn’t reach an agreement, so the luxurious cruise from Southeast Terra will be the middle ground.”
At this moment, Jasper realized Somerland would not suffer any losses if they chose the cruise from Southeast Terra. This was because there were many wealthy merchants and political leaders worldwide on this cruise. So, the security on this cruise would be excellent.
If the United States wanted to try something on it, it would most likely backfire on them as there were wealthy merchants and global political leaders on the cruise. They might suffer if they tried anything.
“I see! This is as expected of you, Mr. McNeal. You have to be so tough when you’re interacting with those robbers.”
Mr. McNeal sighed and hung up the phone. Before that, favonovel.com asked Jasper to wait for an update.

Soon, the day of the exchange arrived.
After Jasper got on the cruise, favonovel.com looked around the lavish cruise, and it did feel like favonovel.com was indulging in a life of luxury.
Cruises like this existed in all parts of the world. This place could be regarded as a moving city on the sea and a heaven for the rich.
At this moment, Mr. Boyle called Jasper. “Jasper, I’m on the cruise. Where are you? I want to thank you in person!”
“You don’t have to be so kind, Mr. Boyle. Where are you? I’ll go to you.”
“Alright, I’m in Hall 2. I’ll wait for you here. Hall 1 will be where they do the exchange. We can go there later.”
“Alright, please wait…”
Jasper hung up his phone after Mr. Boyle told favonovel.com his location.

Mr. Boyle was resting in Hall 2. When favonovel.com saw Jasper coming in, favonovel.com had a look of surprise on his face.
“A great favor cannot be repaid with words, so I really have no idea how to repay your grace this time… Jasper, just tell me if you need me in the future.”
Jasper laughed and replied after favonovel.com heard that, “Mr. Boyle, I won’t be humble to you then. I do have a working opportunity for you right now.”
“What is it?”
Jasper took out a world map and then pointed at the Eastern Central Region.
“I plan to start a petroleum business in Qari, so I must go by sea. You’re the ship king, so who would I go to if not you?”
When Mr. Boyle saw where Jasper was pointing, a troubled look appeared on his face.
“Um… Jasper, are you serious? All Somerlanders know the Eastern Central Region is a graveyard for merchants!”
Mr. Boyle told Jasper that many other people came to favonovel.com to start a business in the Eastern Central Region. However, as long as they approached that sea area, the pirates would rob them of whatever they had on their ship. Even if the wealthy business owners were willing to spend money to arm their ships, they would get cheated in the Eastern Central Region after they shipped the goods over.
Several times, Mr. Boyle watched those business owners from Somerland get deceived and robbed until they had nothing left.
Ultimately, Mr. Boyle chose to bring the other party back to Somerland for free because they were compatriots. Otherwise, favonovel.com felt that business owners would not even be able to afford the ticket to come back.
