Chapter 286: He Had Been Tricked Chapter 286: He Had Been Tricked Nnenna did not flinch.

She did not blink.

She did not bite back.

She just let Karen’s words pass by like breeze.

She closed her eyes as well, but not to sleep.

No.

Her mind was already ten steps ahead, diving into escape routes, forged IDs, checkpoint scans, possible disguises.

The moment that plane touched the ground, the hunt would continue.

Around her, the others were quiet.

Abuchi stared blankly out the window, his fingers tapping lightly against his knee.

Ekene and John exchanged a quick glance, but stayed silent.

This moment of peace, of soft, humming engines and calmness, might be the last they’d ever get for the next one month.

Meanwhile… Ruby Airport A cool fog rolled across the sleek tarmac like a silent whisper of doom.

Ruby’s airport was modest compared to Lionara’s grand terminals, but modern and efficient.

The pale moon light cut through the mist like ghost blades, casting eerie shadows against the glass walls of the building.

It was quiet… too quiet.

Obinna’s assistant stepped onto the pavement, flanked by elite guards dressed in black, their eyes sharp and scanning.

He wasted no time.

“They’ll land any moment,” he barked, voice clipped and tense.

“Positions!

Entry gates, customs, baggage claim.

I want every possible exit covered.

If they step foot on this ground, I want eyes on them before they blink.” “Yes, sir!” Within seconds, the guards fanned out, melting into the mist like wolves on the hunt.

Then it came.

The plane, sleek and silent, descended from the clouds, wheels striking the runway with a hiss of steam.

The stairs rolled out, and passengers began to disembark.
