save the bachelors

Chapter 5161-5164 [Cheers to Peace]

"Oh my god, Steve, you're still alive! That's amazing!"

"It's amazing, Steve. I'm so happy to see you back to life."

"I can't believe my eyes, man, it's so great to see you again!"

Charlie, the chief, and Samir were all astonished to see Xiang Nan come back to life, and they all went up to him and embraced him.

"Wait, you said you were resurrected by a god and became that god's messenger?" Samir then asked curiously, "So what abilities do you have?"

“It’s not convenient to talk here, let’s find somewhere else.” Xiang Nan said, and immediately opened a portal, instantly teleporting Samir and the others back to the streets of London.

"Wow?! This is London? We're back?" Samir exclaimed in astonishment.

“Yes, this is London. My God, we’re really back.” Charlie looked around at the familiar street scenes, the familiar smells, the familiar crowds… There was no doubt that they had returned to London, thousands of miles away, in an instant.

"Unbelievable!" The chief was stunned. Then he quickly looked at Xiang Nan and said, "Steve, can you teach me this trick? If I could go anywhere I wanted, my smuggling business would be much easier."

“You’re so stupid. If you could go anywhere, wouldn’t it be better to just go to the bank’s vault?” Samir laughed. “You can take as much money as you want from the bank’s vault.”

"Haha, no way." Xiang Nan waved his hand and laughed, "Your idea is indeed very creative, but I can't use this ability for evil. Otherwise, the gods will take it back."

"That's such a pity," Samir said with regret.

"Alright, anyway, we've successfully completed our mission, destroyed the poison gas bombs, eliminated Ares, and restored peace to the world," Xiang Nan said with a smile. "Let's go, we deserve a proper celebration."

Hearing him say that, Charlie, the chief, Samir, and Diana all responded very happily.

……

Afterwards, Xiang Nan and the others went into the bar together and drank heartily.

They also made a phone call and summoned Eta Candi.

Eta was very surprised and happy to see them return safely.

When she learned that Sir Patrick Morgan was actually the legendary God of War Ares, and that he had instigated the entire First World War, she was stunned with astonishment.

"Really?! Sir Patrick could be the mastermind?" Etta asked, her eyes wide with surprise. "My God, it's unbelievable! He's such a peace lover, always calling for a peace treaty. How could it be him?"

It's important to know that Sir Patrick Morgan had always played the role of a peace advocate in Parliament. From the beginning of the war, he had been pushing for peace negotiations, and even when he was questioned as a surrenderist, he never changed his mind.

Even Xiang Nan and his team's mission to the front lines to destroy poison gas bombs was funded by Sir Patrick. Therefore, she found it extremely difficult to accept the truth that Sir Patrick was a major instigator of World War I.

“Shakespeare said, ‘The devil loves to quote the Bible,’” Xiang Nan sighed. “If we hadn’t seen it with our own eyes, we probably wouldn’t have believed it either.”

"That's why there's the story of 'The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing' in Aesop's Fables." Diana nodded and said, "The wolf disguises himself as a sheep and blends into the flock so that he can eat the sheep."

“That’s right, the more skilled a swindler is, the better they know how to use disguise,” Samir nodded in agreement.

“Well, anyway, it’s good that you’re all back safe and sound.” Eta nodded. “I just heard on the radio that we’re going to sign an armistice with Germany. So I propose we raise a glass together to celebrate victory and peace!”

"That's right, cheers!" Xiang Nan, Diana, Charlie, the Chief, and Samir raised their glasses together.

...Subsequently, Foch, the Allied Commander-in-Chief, led by Britain, France, and the United States, signed an armistice agreement with German representatives in a train carriage at the Réau station in the Compiègne Forest in northeastern France.

Thus, World War I officially came to an end.

After World War I ended, Xiang Nan, as a member of the American Expeditionary Force, was also ordered to return to the United States.

As Xiang Nan's lover, Diana decided to return to the United States with him.

Charlie decides to return to his hometown in Scotland, while Samir decides to stay in London and continue his life as a conman.

The chief, on the other hand, was preparing to travel to the European continent, where everything was in ruins after World War I, and his smuggling business would be very profitable.

Eta Candy, on the other hand, remained working for the British intelligence service.

Therefore, comrades who were once inseparable are now forced to separate.

"Steve, Diana, goodbye! I'll miss you."

"I hope that after this parting, we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future!"

"Have a safe journey, I will miss you."

"Never forget us, and we will never forget you!"

They bid each other a reluctant farewell at the dock.

Subsequently, Xiang Nan and Diana boarded a cruise ship returning to the United States, officially embarking on their journey back to America.

……

“Actually, taking a cruise is a lot of fun,” Xiang Nan said to Diana with a smile. “There’s delicious food, lively parties, and amazing performances on the cruise ship…”

They chose the Mauritania cruise ship, operated by the British company Cunard, for their return to the United States.

Cunard was a major shipping company on par with the operator of the Titanic, the British White Star Line.

After the sinking of the Titanic, the White Star Line suffered a severe blow to its business and was forced to sell itself to Cunard in 1935, which shows that Cunard was also quite remarkable.

The Mauritania is one of the largest cruise ships in the Carnarvon Carnarvon fleet. It is 241 meters long and 24 meters wide, has five decks, and can carry more than 2,000 passengers.

The cruise ship in the famous movie "The Legend of 1900" was based on this cruise ship.

For Diana's sake, Xiang Nan specially booked a first-class ticket, which cost more than eight hundred pounds, equivalent to twelve catties of gold at the time.

But none of that mattered to him. With his abilities, he could have as much gold as he wanted; turning the Earth into a "golden ball" would be a piece of cake.

It was Diana's first time on a cruise ship and her first time staying in first class; for her, it was all a very new and wonderful experience.

Such a beautiful room, such a soft carpet, such delicious food, such beautiful music, such a wonderful performance... everything was so wonderful.

What's more, with Xiang Nan by her side, she felt like she was living in paradise every day.
