The cabin erupted with piercing screams as chaos unfolded. A powerful gust

of wind swept through the aircraft, shattering the glass windows and

creating a whirlwind that instantly sucked everything into the abyss outside.

Emmanuel remained anchored in place, while the other passengers flailed

helplessly against the overwhelming force.

Observing their frantic struggle, he recognized them for what they truly were:

ordinary assassins, woefully unprepared for the situation. Seizing the

moment, he swiftly incapacitated them one by one before rushing to seal the

broken window, a barrier between safety and the unknown.

continued her conversation, her voice a mixture of concern and formality. “Mr.

surely perceive this as a slight. All we can do is pray that our journey goes

smoothly and that no trouble arises.”

Ethan sighed, a flicker of unease crossing his features. “I didn’t expect the

plane to take off early either. We’ll have to address this once we land. Let’s

hope for a safe journey ahead.”

Chester, overhearing their exchange, felt a wave of humiliation wash over

him. He coldly interjected, “Mr. Hale, I am your personal bodyguard. I can
