After downing an entire bottle of strong liquor, Santiago flipped to his feet

with surprising agility. Swaying slightly, he flashed a grin at Emmanuel. “Want

a bottle too?*

With a flick of his wrist, four large gourd–shaped wine bottles dangled from

his belt.

Everyone around was stunned.

What kind of drunk carries around gallons of booze?

“Why not? Hand me one!”

Emmanuel was ready to warm up, and with a flick of his wrist, he shrugged

Their smooth, effortless coordination was mesmetting capturing the

attention of everyone watching.

“Quick! Do as Emmanuel says and get the helicopters and engineeing teone

ready!*

Ethan wasted no time, issuing commands without hesitation.

His assistants scrambled to carry out his commands.

Meanwhile, Chester, who had previously shown no interest in the disaster

“I have faith in Mr. Wolf and his team,” Ethan replied firmly, his voice leaving no

room for doubt.

At his level of leadership, trust was everything. He knew when to let go of

doubts and allow capable people to take charge.

Since Emmanuel and Santiago had volunteered and were making every

effort to prepare, he had to back them up.

Chester snorted quietly, choosing not to say anything further. He had said his

piece. If Emmanuel wanted to risk his neck, that was his choice.

Soon enough, the helicopters hoisted two massive boulders into the air.

These rocks, while huge to the human eye, seemed insignificant against the

might of the floodwaters.
