What Separates Me and You

Chapter 327 Two Days Left

“Huh?” Dean, the pilot, turned around to stare at Seth in surprise.

He wasn’t sure if the man was joking or being absolutely serious, so he asked, “Are we really flying back?”

Lewis sat on the seat without saying anything. The cabin was dim, so no one was able to spot the exhaustion in his eyes.

Conrad quickly answered anxiously, “No way! We’ve already traveled such a long distance from the island! Are you planning to use up the entire fuel supply?”

It was clear that Lewis enjoyed his time on the island. The assistant was worried that his boss would return to the island for real if he were given that option.

Meanwhile, Dean shot a glance in Seth’s direction. The latter had already closed his eyes, having decided to ignore Lewis.

The pilot thought momentarily before deciding not to turn the helicopter around. Obviously, Seth didn’t mean the things he said. He was merely mad at Lewis. Dean would be a complete idiot if he were to do as he was told.

The helicopter had been flying for a very long time, so if Dean were to turn back, the vehicle wouldn’t have enough fuel to fly back to Hardington.

Hence, Dean propelled the helicopter above the clouds and headed in Hardington’s direction.

The sky had completely darkened by now. The journey ahead spanned over 620 miles and would last for more than an hour. Resting against Lewis, Josephine soon drifted into a dreamless sleep.

In the meantime, Conrad reported a summary of what happened in the outside world over the past half a month.

On the second day of Lewis’ disappearance, Conrad arrived in Hardington with the purpose of joining Seth and the rest of the group in the search for the missing people.

Kiran returned to Elysium on the fifth day after the cruise ship’s incident. He was rumored to have sustained severe injuries. The man didn’t do anything for now, but at the same time, Conrad didn’t know how he was doing right now.

The incident had rapidly spread across the Internet, becoming viral, as the forces related to the cruise’s organizers failed to keep the news from traveling. The cruise belonged to a joint venture named Veda Group. An official statement had been issued, asserting that the cruise rammed into an iceberg.

One could only wonder if Veda Group intended to conceal the truth on purpose or if another reason was involved.

Most guests on the cruise ship were either wealthy or influential people. The compensation issue was just one problem; someone had to take responsibility for this incident. Naturally, that person had to become the scapegoat as well. In the end, Veda Group forced a random manager to take responsibility for everything.

Faust and the others all speculated that Kiran was the one behind the incident, but since the wreckage of the cruise ship was nowhere to be found, the group couldn’t scout it for evidence. For now, they had no idea what their next course of action would be.

Conrad’s report was actually a brief summary of the events. After all, he had spent many days looking for Lewis, so he didn’t have time to learn about the details.

When the helicopter flew over the waters where the cruise ship had gotten demolished, Lewis and the others could vaguely see light dots on the dark surface. The authorities and the divers appeared to be still fishing the corpses from the sea.
