The bodyguard answered coolly, âLeave it.â
âWhat do you mean?â The group of people looked at each other.
âLiterally.â The bodyguard stood like a Bodhisattva.
Gerald smiled, âPresident Hoyle, I honestly think that your menâs psychological is really extraordinary.
This gives me the illusion that itâs not my people who are flying the plane, but yours.â
Alan smiled without saying a word, but squinted at him coldly.
The two had already left their seats since earlier and the entire movement in the cabin could be seen.
Those who were afraid, brave, and silent, all of them flashed past.
Nate was standing behind Gerald with a gun in his hand to protect Alan at any time, but Gerald still arrogantly said, âIâll give you 30 seconds to think. After that, choose your team. I can decide how to deal with you based on how fast and slow you choose your team.â
The crowd was terrified. They looked at each other but didnât dare to act rashly. Those who were far quietly asked the people around them, âWhat are you guys going to do?â
No one could easily answer this question, except for the coward Drew Martin who quickly embraced Geraldâs leg and smiled flatteringly, âIâll listen to youâ¦â
Nate raised up the gun and pointed it at Geraldâs temple, âYou seem to have forgotten the gun in my hand.â
Drew was frightened again and jumped a few steps away.
Gerald didnât care, âYouâre pretty amazing to be able avoid the security check and take in this silencer.
But even if you can kill me, your bullets are limited after all. The plane is landing soon. Hundreds of bullets are waiting to pass through your intestines.â
Nateâs tight face suddenly turned into a charming smile, âAre you sure that this plane isnât really going to Jiangcheng?â
The gangster on the ground struggled and shouted, âDo you guys still fantasize that a Spider-Man will rescue you?â
At this moment, a strange laughter sounded from the top. The sound which circulated through the loudspeaker turned clearer in everyoneâs ears.
Immediately afterwards, several men in uniform and were tied up were thrown out, rolling before Gerald.
Gerald looked closely and was shocked. These peopleâs target from the beginning was the cockpit. He only started his act after receiving the news that they had succeeded. But now, they were badly battered and kicked out instead.
âWhatâs going on?â Could it be that the message before was just a smoke bomb?
Their mouths were sealed with tape and they could only struggle, making whining sound from their throats.
Gerald knelt down and tore the tape on one of them, âHow could this happen?â
That person took a breath, âKent Bai.â
Two words and Gerald Wood instantly understood what had happened. His heart sank deeply.
Kent snickered through the loudspeaker, âGerald Wood, youâve been an assassin for so many years and never failed. This kind of continuous success brings you not only wealth and fame, whatâs the most is arrogance. Please kindly accept this present on our first meeting.â
âYouâ¦â Gerald was livid but couldnât utter a word. At this moment, it was like his back was being attacked by the enemy and the situation abruptly reversed. He slowly stood up, turned to Alan and said, âI should have thought you have someone to rely on when you can be so calm. It turns out that the rumor about you have a deal with Kent Bai and work together isnât fake.â
Kent in the loudspeaker said, âYouâre wrong. Between good buddies, it isnât called a deal, nor can it be said that itâs a simple cooperation. It should be called as mutual support, steadfast loyalty. This isnât something that you cold-blooded animals will understand.â
Gerald sneered, âWhat a total bullshit. Basically, it still means one of you take the light road and the other takes the dark road. Covering each other and benefiting together.â
Kent laughed, âSo what if I take the dark road? Nowadays, light and dark arenât so distinct in this world.
I only kill those who are guilty of monstrous crimes, I donât bully women and children and those who are weak. I donât smuggle or sell drugs. I donât force people to be prostitutes. But you guys? Because of desire, you can sell your soul if you have the money. You take the side of evil, hurt the innocents, and have no humanity. Today, Iâll act for the heaven and clean up you scums.â
âBut donât forget that Alan Hoyleâs beautiful wife and cute daughter are still in my hands. Besides, I forgot to tell you that Iâve asked people to put time bombs on them. At worst, we all die together.â
Although he was already at a disadvantage, Gerald was still confident and suddenly there was a remote control in his hand.
The passengers screamed in horror. Some of them hugged each other, as if the end of the world was coming.
A bodyguard tried to get close to Gerald and snatch the remote control from him, but failed.
Geraldâs skill was naturally outstanding as he could be ranked first in Southeast Asia and third in the world. The moment Nateâs hand touched his shoulder, he dodged nimbly like a loach.
No one dared to approach again.
âPresident Hoyle, do you dare to bet your beloved wife and daughterâs lives?â Even though he knew it was impossible to flee from everybody, Gerald still insolently provoked.
Alan simply replied, âI donât.â
âYou even have the moment to be afraid. Hahahahaâ¦â Brash and ear-piercing laughter echoed in the cabin.
Suddenly, a clear and soft sigh was heard from the chaotic voices and it reached everyoneâs ears, âHeâs an adult, but still like daydreaming. Mommy, do you think we need to knock him up?â
People who were standing in the aisle automatically gave way.
Each pair of eyes brightened up and looked pleasantly surprised at them who were like a savior falling from the sky.
Gerald looked at his covered in dirt female companion in surprise.
The beautiful flight attendant looked disheartened. She never had thought that she would be treated like neither a human nor ghost by a little boy. Her whole body was dripping wet as if she had been fished out of water cellar and was tied up. She couldnât talk as her mouth was sealed.
You could only blame Gerald Wood for being unlucky. When he was dismantling his crutches in the bathroom with his accomplice, he didnât notice that there was a little boy in another cubicle because he had a stomachache after eating a lot before boarding.
This little boy wasnât a stranger, but Sean Shen who competed rock climbing with Annie in the playground.
Sean Shen wasnât an ordinary child too. He was a genius. He had received special training from a young age to prepare for being the Shenâs successor. He was more mature than the children in his same age. The kid had high standard, but Annie suited his taste. Many years later when he had reached adolescent, he realized that it was love at first sight.
From Gerald and his accompliceâs conversation, he quickly realized that a kidnapping threat was about to target Alan Hoyleâs family. The first person who was attacked was Aniet Steele, who saved them a lot of effort by throwing herself into their net.
The name Aniet Steele wasnât unfamiliar to Sean. Although he had high standard and didnât like to play with ordinary children, he had investigated the person he was interested in thoroughly. At first, he was shocked to hear these gangsters were going to do harm to the person he was interested in.
Although he still didnât understand what he felt so special about a little girl who he had only met once at this moment, he was extremely angry because of the Shen menâs dominant nature. No one could bully the girl he liked expect himself.
Therefore, after those people left the bathroom, he didnât rush to inform Alan Hoyle, but sneaked into the womenâs bathroom quietly.
His father once told him that Alan Hoyle was a more powerful lion than a wolf. He looked sleeping on the surface, but he was actually hidden. This man was one of the few people his father admired. The Shen and Hoyle had no business dealings, two families that had nothing to do with each other. But his father reminded him that if they met in the future, he should either treat him respectfully or avoid him.
Perhaps he was in a rebellious state. He just thought that it was quite funny to provoke this manâs beloved daughter. The first time he saw in the playground, he recognized the man in one glance. He had a very good impression of him. Like his father, he was very fond of his wife and child.
He wasnât worried that Alan wouldnât be able to cope with the dangerous situation that was about to happen. He was a man who could be admired by his father. If he couldnât handle this unexpected event, it would be really a waste of his fatherâs admiration. Now he only cared about whether his stupid girl was well. Whoever dared to bully his girl, he would destroy them.
So, when he saw the fake stewardess bound explosives on his girl, he was furious.
The fake stewardess was also careless, or perhaps it was Sean who wasnât tall enough that she didnât notice a child approaching from behind her quietly.
Sean used his small hand to hit the back of her neck with all his strength. Although she didnât faint by his hit, she still felt a little dazed. She was absentminded for a long time. Sean quickly tied her up and kicked her to the ground.
Sean had long been aiming at the rope next to him that hadnât been used on Olive. He somersaulted to get it then somersaulted back, using it on the fake stewardessâ neck.
This series of actions happened in just a few seconds. The fake flight attendant was strangled by a powerful force at the back. Before her hands could touch her neck, they were already bound.
Sean kept his fatherâs words in mind. When you couldnât compete with your opponentâs stamina, you had to be fast.
He was a child. His stamina naturally wasnât as good as adultâs, so every second counted.
The fake stewardess didnât expect that she would be attacked by a child, and she fell down in one attack. She was even tied up that she couldnât retaliate. This was simply humiliating.
âWhere did you come from?â
âBehind you. You just failed to see me.â Sean tied the rope to a knot and was satisfied when he was sure she couldnât break free.
âYou brat. Let me go now, or youâll meet a terrible death,â the fake stewardess cursed, struggling hard.
âYou donât look properly at the person youâre threatening. Do you think you can threaten me?â Sean rudely sealed her crooked mouth with tape.
The fake stewardess glared at him fiercely with wide round eyes. Her glare seemed to say, âYouâve got guts, brat.â
