The next day.
Theo was standing on the runway together with his group, watching a white airplane landing. It was a medium-sized airplane.
At best, the airplane could only bring twenty people. However, Theo noticed something different from this airplane.
"Mhm? It seems Maya has created something interesting." Theo smiled as if he was impressed by this airplane.
"This airplane doesn't have a sound?" Rea sucked a cold breath, understanding what Theo meant.
"By having no sound, you can stealthily fly in the sky. However, the airplane can't be too small or too big. If it's too small, the airplane won't have enough power to fend itself if a dangerous situation occurs. If it's too big, the airplane would only give their position away." Theo nodded in agreement.
"That's true."
They were waiting for the airplane to turn around and move toward them.
"Still, this is an airport. To think we can use them easily. Well, it has been abandoned, so I guess it's fine." Rea looked around. The airport had been cleaned in the last few days to make sure they could land or take off safely.
There was no air traffic controller here because the airport wouldn't be usable for a while since there was only one who succeeded in creating the airplane, which was the Star Group.
So, until everything could be restored, there wouldn't be anyone assisting their flight.
As soon as the airplane reached them, the door was opened from the inside as Maya came out of the airplane with a smug smile. "Welcome to my airplane."
"Show off." Theo smirked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Haha, it's a rare occurrence where I can brag about something." Maya chuckled while walking to Theo. "It's been a while, Theo."
"Yeah. It's truly been a while, Maya. It's good to know that you're still as lively as ever."
Maya shook his hand and hugged him to show how glad she was that he was fine. "I'm glad that you're fine."
"Before talking about anything else, I think I have to confirm this first. I've told you about this thing, right?" Theo asked while pointing at the pillar next to him.
"Of course! That's why the airplane is this big."
"I guess." Theo chuckled. "Though, don't worry. With this pillar inside, there won't be any monsters who can destroy it."
"Hoh, you are so confident?"
"Even a World Class Monster has a hard time destroying it even with all his strength…" Theo added as Maya's expression changed after hearing it.
Maya immediately clasped her hands and coyly asked, "Ahem, Boss. Do you think I can buy it from you? How much do you want? 20% Share of my Star Group, my body, or—"
"It's not for sale." Theo softly flicked her forehead. "Though, I might get bored with it sooner or later. Or it might be useless for me…"
Maya immediately pointed at the airplane and asked, "How about we talk inside?"
Theo chuckled. "You have become more and more shameless, aren't you?"
"I have agreed to be one of your people. So, why not? Though, you're the only one who has this privilege," Maya cheekily answered.
"Well, it's truly nice to see you again, Maya." Theo once again greeted her as if he had just done everything to check whether she was a real deal or not.
"I feel the same way." Maya nodded in agreement. "So, I guess this is everyone. Congratulations, Isaac, Levina. And also, welcome to the group, Eleanor. I am Maya Hamilton, your genius businesswoman who loves to show off."
"You surely become more shameless to proclaim all that." Isaac shook his head helplessly. "But thank you."
Levina also bowed to her politely, while Eleanor felt gratified to be accepted by the others.
"Anyway, are we going to fly right now? Shouldn't we let them rest for a while? Also, Ruth, why are you standing there this whole time?!" Theo asked while glancing at five people who came out of the plane.
Two of them were pilots and the other two were stewardesses, while the last one was Ruth.
Since they were called, they walked to Theo and the others.
"Even if I'm here, there's nothing to talk about other than the greetings, no?" Ruth shook her head, explaining the reason why she didn't go with Maya.
"Why are you so cold, Ruth? Even though your trust in Theo was higher than mine this whole time." Maya smirked, teasing her.
"Hoh?" Theo also showed some interest in listening to this story.
Ruth's body trembled due to the embarrassment as she turned around and said, "I'll be waiting inside."
"…" Theo and Maya chuckled.
After that, Maya introduced the other four. "These four are the pilots and the stewardesses that I've carefully picked. The pilots are from the military, while the stewardesses have experience in hotels, flights, and other similar services. Most importantly, all of them are Supreme Rank Experts. So, they shouldn't be tired of just this."
The pilots nodded in agreement while the stewardesses politely bowed to Theo. "Welcome, Sir. We're very honored to serve you on this flight."
"Well, I guess that's fine. So, we can take off anytime?" Theo asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes. Though, we have a small problem that can be solved easily." Maya raised a finger.
"What is it?"
"We need all the people here to inject their Magic Power into the energy storage since it's the fuel of this plane. Even Ruth has to charge it ten times for it to reach the full amount. Since we have used two-thirds, we need everyone's cooperation to fill it."
"It's fine. I'll recharge it. Where should I inject my Magic Power?" Theo asked.
"Theo. I know that you're strong, but the amount of your Magic Power should be similar to others of the same level, right?! Don't push yourself."
"It's fine. It's fine."
Maya was perplexed and planned to stop him after he had done enough. She showed the storage at the back of the airplane.
It was a huge round crystal coming from a huge Mythical Rank Monster. It seemed the monster had an advantage in the amount of Magic Power instead of offensive or defensive power.
"This is the storage. Just place your hand on this small button and channel your Magic Power inside."
"Alright." Theo nodded with a smile.
His body started emitting Magic Power as the process began. However, Theo also added something that convinced Maya that he was enough to fuel the plane by himself.

Theo smiled and started infusing his Magic Power.
