Chapter 686
Chapter 686 He’s A Tenacious One
Bianca clutched her chest, feeling as though it had been sliced apart by a poisoned knife. She was about to pass out from the pain.
She felt a slight relief from the pain in her chest after a few minutes.
'What's going on?'
She was confused, but soon she remembered that she felt a similar pain on the day she found out that Luke went missing.
She could not linger on that moment for long. When Jack and Queenie noticed that Bianca was there, they beckoned lovingly at her and got her to taste the dishes.
"I made ssoup for you, Bea. Your mom said that you like light foods, so I didn't put much salt in the soup. Have a taste. What do you think?" Jack said kindly and ladled a small bowl of soup for Bianca.
Bianca took a sip.
"How is it?" Jack looked at her daughter expectantly.
Bianca finished the bowl of soup and said gratefully, "The soup tastes good, Dad. I love it."
Being able to eat Mom's cooking and Dad's soup made her feel blissful.
She began to feel guilty about how she was always busy with work and never got the chance to spend twith them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at her parents' graying hair, she promised herself that she would spend more twith her parents once she returned with Luke.
A helicopter flew above the Pacific Ocean.
It flew in a straight line for about half an hour. When it was about to leave the range of influence of the Island of Despair, the people suddenly heard a beep, signifying the start of an announcement.
Soon, the passengers heard a sweet female voice. "Anomaly detected. The flight will now turn around."
Once the announcement ended, the helicopter suddenly turned 180 degrees and retraced its path back to the island.
"Boss, all the controls have stopped working. Damn it! Someone must have overridden the controls." Gale, the pilot, was shocked. He pressed on all the buttons, but none of them worked.
He punched the control panel angrily, and his face was ashen with anger.
They were so close to escaping. He did not want to return to that living hell.
Gale turned his head toward Luke, but at the moment he saw the man, he instantly shut up!
The man was standing straight in the cockpit. Despite his bloodied body, his presence remained domineering and composed, as though he had everything under control.
He remained calm in the face of unknown dangers.
His thin lips were tightly pressed together, and he gave off the bearing of a natural-born leader.
Gale somehow felt a little calmer when he saw Luke. "What should we do now, Boss?" "Lettake over!" Luke shoved Gale aside and sat on the pilot's seat.
Gale did not know what the man did. He only saw Luke's slender fingers dancing on the different buttons on the control panel and pushed a few levers before he wrested control of the helicopter again.
"You're too cool, Boss!" Gale and Rain were in complete admiration of their leader.
However, Luke raised his hand and furrowed his brows. "Our plan has been exposed. Knowing Robert, he wouldn't spare any survivors. If my guess is correct, he'd blow up this helicopter if he doesn't see it return. Find the parachutes and prepare to jump!"
Indeed, after he finished speaking, they heard a soft ticking in the cabin.
Knowing what the ticking sound meant, everyone was shocked. It was the sound of explosives ticking down.
Gale and Rain shuddered when they thought of Robert's cruelty.
They tried to search for the explosives, but they found that every corner of the helicopter was packed with them.
It would take at least half an hour to disarm everything, but the explosives were due to explode in five minutes!
Following that, Gale and Rain searched everywhere for parachutes but could not find any!
"Boss, we searched the entire cabin, but we didn't find any parachutes. We won't have enough tto disarm all the explosives either..." Gale and Rain were drenched in a cold sweat. Their composure was nowhere to be seen.
Luke remained calm, and he said sternly, "We are at an altitude of thirteen thousand feet, and the helicopter is three minutes and forty-two seconds away from exploding. If I can lower the altitude to between eight hundred and one thousand feet, we should be able to jump from the helicopter without dying. When I give the signal later, we'll jump out of the helicopter at the stime. Understood?" "Understood!" Gale and Rain answered in unison.
They trusted in Luke's piloting skills.
Luke pushed the speed of the helicopter to its limit, and it charged toward the ocean like a diving falcon.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust when it was about to hit the surface of the ocean, he roared, "Jump!"
The three people hugged each other tightly, kicked open the door, and jumped together!
At that moment, the helicopter suddenly exploded with a deafening boom.
The ball of fire expanded rapidly and sent shrapnel flying in all directions!
On the Island of Despair, Kassy clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she watched the drone feed of the helicopter exploding.
Her beautiful eyes glinted with viciousness.
That man would rather jump into the sea than return to her!
She started a video call with Robert. "You promised that you'd let Matthew go, Godfather. Why did you go back on your word?"
Robert's expression was ice-cold. Kassy could even feel the drop in temperature even though she was only looking at him on her phone screen. "You idiot! If you can't handle one man after so long, what use do I have for you? Matthew has destroyed my secret base and incited a rebellion. I would have killed him a long tago if not for that he is useful to me.
Now that the man has betrayed me, he'll have to die. Also, Kassy, you're an adult now, and I don't need any useless people by my side. You will attend to Cole, the arms dealer from Country M tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll cripple you!"
Kassy's face turned pale instantly. Her godfather wanted her to attend to that sadistic pervert!
The video call ended before she could say anything.
Angrily, Kassy threw her phone on the ground, which broke in half.
She gave her orders to two men in black suits. "Go and search for the helicopter wreckage. I don't believe that Matthew is dead. He's a tenacious one, and he won't die that easily. Report immediately if you find anything!" "Yes, Ms. Kassy," the men in black replied in the affirmative and went off to carry out their task.
After the men left, Kassy's gaze turned cold again, and she laughed brazenly.
'He can't hide from me. I'll find him as long as he lives!'
