Sibling Rivalry

I loved my sister with all my heart, but there were times like these when I hated her, too. I tried very hard not to allow the reality of being Syd’s little sister weigh on me, but it was so difficult when my entire life was about scrutiny, either from those who couldn’t wait for me to screw up, or from my family who watched with barely-concealed concern. Everyone waited for me to crack under the pressure.

The next person who compared anything I accomplished to what Syd would have done was going to perish in flame and agony.

Meira might sit on First Seat, but her initial four years as Ruler haven’t been as easy as she thought they’d be. Thanks to her father’s new policies, Meira’s power has been diverted away from Ruler and into the hands of her Second Seat and grandfather, Henemordonin, as well as the greedy and grasping court of Demonicon. Struggling to regain control while being constantly bullied and tormented, Meira faces a fresh concern—a cult of mysterious demons has risen in the outer planes, preaching love and peace, finding followers where no religion has ever succeeded before.

When Zhang Tie steadily landed the man-powered plane, a lot of people swarmed up at once.

As citizens of Hoorn Republic, these engineers felt pretty happy when they witness so many marvels concerning gliders in such a short period.

Several months ago, Zhang Tie created a marvel in this base by foot.  However, today, he created another marvel by only sitting in a glider. Compared to the first marvel, the second one was more inspiring.

"Can we make it lighter?" soon after Zhang Tie got off the man-powered plane had he asked those experts from the Hoorn Republic.

"We used a very expensive light alloy to make this man-powered plane. Although its shape looks like that of WindTalker, its internal and external structures and raw materials had been greatly optimized. Therefore, although we added a set of variable transmission gears and some actuators inside this man-powered plane, we decreased its weight to 670 kg. It's the best we can do." An expert explained to Zhang Tie. 

After hearing this expert's explanation, Zhang Tie knew that someone had already posed the concept of manufacturing man-powered plane a long time ago in the Hoorn Republic, which was crazy about flight. Many people in the Hoorn Republic had fantasized about providing a driving force to a glider to make it a real man-powered plan with stepping pedals like riding a bicycle.

Actually, all those who had posed similar thoughts had failed. There were mainly two reasons for failure. Firstly, the man-powered plan was too heavy, which could almost not be driven by a human. Secondly, even though they could barely produce a very light man-powered plane, its performances could not even match that of common gliders. Nobody in the Hoorn Republic thought that could be qualified as a plane. 

Many years ago, the Hoorn Republic had already made a man-powered plane using canvas and some light alloy. They controlled the weight of the man-powered plane within 150 kg. However, its best achievement in trial flight was 37 km's distance within 5 m in height. 

After that light man-powered plane failed its trial flight, the engineers and glider fans in the Hoorn Republic reached a conclusion, in this age, the man-powered plane had to be designed with an excellent structure featured with an optimal lift-drag ratio and aerodynamic configuration. However, if a glider satisfied these conditions, it would weigh at least 700 kg. This posed a very high requirement to its driver. Besides being a top glider driver, he should have unrivaled strength and endurance. 

It could be said that the man-powered plane was waiting for the right man.

The Hoorn Republic was a mini country, whose total population could not even match that of Blackhot City. Therefore, it was very rare to have powerhouses above LV 10 in this country.

Zhang Tie's advantage could be described as follows: those who had greater strength and endurance than him could not pilot gliders better than him while those who could pilot gliders didn't have greater strength and endurance than him.

In many powerhouses' eyes, glider sports was a very low-end and populist. Most of those who liked this sports were commoners. Few people above strong fighters would fly gliders when they were free. In commoners' eyes, glider sports were interesting. However, in powerhouses' eyes, it was as boring as playing mahjong. When they were free, they preferred to cultivate so as to promote to a new level or advance to knights. 

Given the combined factors, Zhang Tie finally became the first person who could drive a man-powered plane to fly into the sky by foot.

After having crew members carry 1000 vials of all-purpose medicament off the Idiots and gift them to the Glider Base of Hoorn Republic as his gratitude, Zhang Tie left the Glider Base. 

This time, the experts and engineers of the Hoorn Republic produced three man-powered planes for Zhang Tie in total. However, one of them was a prototype which could fly but had faults. Therefore, the prototype was left in the base. Zhang Tie carried away the other two man-powered gliders, a pile of detailed manufacturing blueprints and parts which were used for replacement and maintenance.

When driving a man-powered plane, Zhang Tie needed only to pay attention to the set of variable transmission gears. However, that set of gears had to be maintained with lubricating oil. According to those experts and engineers from the Hoorn Republic, even Zhang Tie stepped pedals of man-powered plane 10 hours a day, the set of gears would have no problem in a decade. Because the set of gears were top industrial products in the Eastern Continent, whose durability and precision could even match that of gears in different machines.

After staying in the Glider Base of the Hoorn Republic for a few hours, it was already dusk. When Zhang Tie returned to the Crystal Battle Fortress using the Idiots, there were already two bright moons in the sky.

Major General Ford had already waited 4 hours for Zhang Tie in the Crystal Battle Fortress. Soon after Zhang Tie returned to the base of the Crystal Battle Fortress had Major General Ford boarded on the Idiots.

...

Zhang Tie met Ford in the command module of Idiots once again.

"Major General Ford, it seems that you've got a gift for me?" at the sight of Major General Ford, Zhang Tie had already focused on the metal box in Ford's hand. A metal chain linked the box with Ford's right wrist. It looked very valuable.

After throwing a glance at Zhang Tie, Major General Ford placed that box on the table. He then input the code and opened it. After that, he took out of a piece of diamond crystal being covered with a silvery metal and passed it to Zhang Tie.

Soon after Zhang Tie took it had he injected a strand of spiritual energy into it. In a split second, Zhang Tie saw some Chinese characters——"五行地像经(Five-element Ground-look Sutra)" in his mind.
...

After the Catastrophe, every rule in the world was rewritten.
In the Age of Black Iron, steel, iron, steam engines and fighting force became the crux in which human beings depended on to survive.
A commoner boy by the name Zhang Tie was selected by the gods of fortune and was gifted a small tree which could constantly produce various marvelous fruits. At the same time, Zhang Tie was thrown into the flames of war, a three-hundred-year war between humans and demons on the vacant continent. Using crystals to tap into the potentials of the human body, one must cultivate to become stronger.

Cheng Anya's heart violently thumped as she heard the explosions and helicopters and fighters taking off around her. She felt as terrible as hanging off a cliff.
As her knuckles went white, she kept low on the seat and did not dare to look out. Seeing the bodies of two youths on the plane that were pale and breathless, she felt stuffiness in her chest.
Two lives simply disappeared in Ye Chen's hands. If they had not died, she and Ye Chen would have died instead.
As booming explosions blanketed the place, another building was leveled. As the flames leaped, Cheng Anya could feel the heat wave that almost incinerated them. 
"Ah Chen, are you able to fly it by yourself? Do you need my help?" Cheng Anya softly asked. She did not know how to fly a plane, let alone this aircraft which was already a tad different from the regular helicopter.
According to Ye Chen, this was a newer-model fighter-bomber from Germany that was the most powerful fighter jet on the island. Like others of its type, they were known as 'Ace Jets' due to their outstanding performance and combat capabilities. It had a rifle-caliber machine gun, complemented with a blend of lighter and heavier machine guns along with autocannons, rockets, and missiles. To top it all off, it had a nuclear-tipped air-to-air rocket and reconnaissance equipment. 
Cheng Anya had no knowledge of military gear, let alone the differences between a fighter and a fighter-bomber. She only knew that they were in an extremely precarious situation and could utterly perish at their slightest indiscretion. 
Once the huge fire began, Black Eagle went up the hill behind to tell Ye Chen everything was prepared and he could take action. Ye Chen relinquished his command over the island's matters to Black Eagle and instructed them to be even more careful. He then led Cheng Anya to the front.
As he knew which places would be leveled as well as where the demolition charges and incendiary bombs would be dropped, Third Young Master Ye led Cheng Anya away from the danger zones with extreme ease and snuck all the way to the parking apron. 
Black Eagle's arrangements were very appropriate, saving the parking apron from the slightest damage. As engagements at the front heated up, most were deployed away and only a few guarded the parking apron. Third Young Master Ye quickly snuck Cheng Anya into a fighter-bomber.
There were more helicopters than bombers and fighters on the island. Third Young Master Ye managed to identify a bomber, a fighter, and a fighter-bomber. As the fighter was suited for night combat, Third Young Master Ye quickly decided on the fighter-bomber.
He pondered that there must be many bombers in the underground warehouses, or that there were Italian garrisons near the islands. He hence had to act fast. When Third Young Master Ye was in the Dragon Gate, he had received flight training and could fly regular planes, fighters, and even bombers. He knew how to operate them well, and adding the fact that the fighters were radar-cued, it allowed him to take off single-handedly.
"Dear Anya, just sit beside me. I won't need you to help," Ye Chen said as he flipped several switches without looking at Cheng Anya. He had memorized all the equipment the fighter-bomber had.
Cheng Anya swallowed her saliva several times nervously and her heart leaped to her mouth. A helicopter next to them had already taken off. Cheng Anya was nervous and in trepidation. On the island, explosions still rang and the spraying of machine gunfire made her nervous and tense.
"I always thought that my world was very simple, and little did I expect that I will experience death up close and personal." Cheng Anya was apparently in the mood to joke as she tried to ease her nervousness. "When I'm old and recall about this, I still get to brag to my son that his mommy had indeed lived a colorful life."
Third Young Master Ye smiled and reached out and gently tapped Cheng Anya's shoulders, and Cheng Anya's nervous heart was slightly at ease. His woman was always this courageous. Had this been some other woman, they would have jellied from the fear they felt.
From the back of the hill to the parking apron, buildings were constantly destroyed and agonizing screams never ended. As chaos and shouting ensued with machine guns blazing, a few women would remain as calm and as fearless as Cheng Anya.
Dear Anya, I am proud of you!
"Reel life." Cheng Anya smiled. This was undoubtedly out of a Hollywood movie. She used to feel that Arnold Schwarzenegger piloting a plane and blowing up baddies was too cool, awesome, exciting, and exhilarating.
She could not help but applaud and cheer him on. When she reflected on herself, she realized that she was just another person who would be better off leading a normal life. Such situations were not the most palatable for her.
While it was indeed thrilling and exciting, being hit by a missile would fulfill Third Young Master Ye's words—saving on cremation costs.
Cheng Anya did not mention that to Third Young Master Ye. Instead, she scooted next to him and belted up while looking up at Third Young Master Ye. He was busy recalling the fighter-bomber's functions and the plane slowly took off one-by-one. Third Young Master Ye's gaze was focused on the ground ahead.
For the first time, she felt that her man seemed tall.
Like a god in an area she was not into, he had his ways and was confident and arrogant, looking down on everything as though he was that omnipotent god in the universe.
He was her only god.
Such a Ye Chen… indeed won her over.
Miraculously, Cheng Anya's panicking heart calmed down. She no longer felt fear but completely believe in him instead. Maybe, that's what it was after all!
"Ah Chen, is there anything that you do now know?" Cheng Anya could not help but ask as their plane gradually took off.
"What do you mean?"
Cheng Anya shook her head and said nothing more. Her do-it-all husband consistently triumphed in the marketplace and could do household chores too! Although the young kid had trained him to do household chores, he, after all, managed to learn them! Discounting the fact that the Dragon Gate dominated the North American underworld, he was both a scholar and a warrior who was even able to operate a military aircraft into combat.
His contribution—or lack of rather—toward the nation was an absolute pity.
"Did you say fight using a plane?" Third Young Master Ye smiled and gently nudged the plane as it rose further. He broke into raucous laughter and said, "Well, Ye Wei and Eleven are able to do that. When our Ning Ning gets older, he will be able to. He will be even more aggressive and better than me."
Cheng Anya was stunned into silence.
She helplessly remained silent.
As the plane slowly lifted off the ground, Third Young Master Ye avoided the others and slowly steadied the plane. Based on Louis' orders, the other planes could hover on the island and try to acquire their targets.
These three fighters and bombers were solely responsible for acquiring targets whilst the other helicopters had to avoid being attacked by demolition charges.
As most modern military aircraft had various sensors and targeting equipment onboard, Cheng Anya was able to stand up and suddenly recalled something. "Ah Chen, what about Black Eagle and company? Will they be left on the island?"
She panicked as she did not want any other people to die for her. With one Zhang Bo more than enough, she couldn't take it if any more of them died for her.
"They have their own ways to leave the island," Third Young Master Ye said as he smiled meaningfully. If they escaped from the island in the same manner, they would expose themselves. He hence settled on leaving the island by air and let Black Eagle and company leave by boat.
Cheng Anya looked down and things seemed quieter, only the flames leaped. As Third Young Master Ye's plane flew higher, it started hovering above the island. Cheng Anya felt him fly the plane a tad bumpier.
Third Young Master Ye explained. "I've yet to fly such a plane for five years. The fact that I can still remember how to fly it is already not too bad. Did you think you were in a commercial jet?"
"…Ah, are you a novice?" Cheng Anya asked.
"Who said that?" Third Young Master Ye immediately rebutted. "I have a year of aerial combat training and two years of experience. I just did not fly a plane for five years."
"A movie becomes outdated after a year it's released. Five years for you…" Cheng Anya coldly mocked him. "Are you able to?"
"Fine, let me put it this way… When it comes to stock markets and casinos, novices who get their hands wet often come out with immense profits," Third Young Master Ye replied indignantly as he tried to defend why he had yet to fly a plane for five years.
This was not his to blame as he focused on MBS International in the past five years. When he was still flying planes back then, bombing the Colombian drug lords into oblivion was awesome and heroic.
"…Okay, I got it, save the explanation. I'm panicking!" Cheng Anya said.
Third Young Master Ye was stunned into silence.
On the ground, the demolition charges stopped going off and the machine guns went silent as well. Only the flames remained leaping, and Louis knitted his eyebrows. Something was immensely amiss.
"What information did the control tower send back?" Louis asked as he beckoned a man over. Said man went to get answers and returned to report. "All three fighters have reported back their findings and we have sent people to follow up on each of their findings."
Louis furrowed his eyebrows more and asked, "Each?"
"There were three different locations, which could be due to separate searches. There are multiple enemies scattered across the island." Louis' anger was immense and his emerald green gaze went mad from his bloodlust. The fires, reflected by his gaze, felt as brutal as Hades. The man in black could help but feel a chill. 
A terrifying chill.
The wrath of the godfather, when provoked, created rivers of blood.
Louis' gaze became extremely dark and his emerald gaze turned dark green. The island became so calm it was creepy. He suddenly looked up at the sky and said, "Get the control tower to contact the pilots and have them descend."
"On it!"
He slightly squinted.
He stared at the aircraft moving around with a sense of danger. The people who were searching the mountains reported that the mountains were empty, and they had disappeared long ago. Louis' anger boiled over like an avalanche.
The sea of fire behind him was alluring, yet dangerously close. It was an extremely beautiful, yet immensely terrifying moving picture behind Louis. 
The man who reported the findings jellied in fear.
The handsome man with his golden hair, emerald eyes was as vicious as the devil.
Suddenly, two missiles streaked from the air and took out the fighter and bomber. Third Young Master Ye's quick and accurate aim blitzed them.
"Ahhh!!!" A scream came from midair.
What the hell was going on? Friendly fire?
People on the ground in the air were in shock. As the fighter and bomber exploded in midair, their wreckage fell onto the ground and created a massive commotion.
Third Young Master Ye's gaze sank and he quickly sped away.
Cheng Anya's body shook violently and she was a tad dizzy. This was her first time seeing aerial combat up close. She was shocked and took a long while to gather her senses.
It was brilliant, yet terrifying!
And extremely intense!
And extremely brutal!
The speed of the helicopter and fighter-bomber were worlds apart. Since they were unable to pursue the fighter-bomber, none of them did.
He saw the fighter-bomber that Third Young Master Ye operated level their bomber and fighter before leaving cockily.
The pilots were so angry to the point they almost vomited blood.
They were thankful that the missiles fired were not meant for them though.
When Louis realized that he had been fooled, he shot the man in black who conveyed the message in rage. He then made a few calls and gave a series of commands. A moment later, two fighters took off from another island.
They flew in Third Young Master Ye's direction.
"Damn it!" Louis roared in anger and smashed his cell phone.
The people around him, as though their hearts were pinned down by a stone, did not dare to make a sound. This was Louis' first time feeling this enraged. All that effort he had put into luring Third Young Master Ye into his intricate trap had failed, and he did not expect Third Young Master Ye to escape!
He had been too self-confident and underestimated him.
That said, Third Young Master Ye was one of the masters of the Dragon Gate who had a knack when it came to strategy. His most fatal mistake was to have overlooked Third Young Master Ye's ability to fight thanks to the virus in Cheng Anya's body.
He was initially extremely certain that Cheng Anya could meet Third Young Master Ye and nothing would happen, that Cheng Anya did not know what was wrong with her.
He was hoping to trap them on the island for at least three days so that the virus in Cheng Anya's body would attack her—without the experimental hybrid solution—and become Third Young Master Ye's biggest burden. 
They would not be able to escape then.
Third Young Master Ye would eventually, because of Cheng Anya, beg him. But little did anybody know that he would bet his bottom dollar and even escape with Cheng Anya on the same day.
He had wrongly assessed Third Young Master Ye.
As the helicopters obeyed their orders and landed, Louis handed the affairs of the island to others and boarded the helicopter. He ordered the pilot to take off.
"Use the radar and interfere with his flight path," he ordered with a sinister smile. Third Young Master Ye would not have known that these planes had a hidden surprise.
Ye Chen, Cheng Anya, you will not be able to escape!
"Humph, when it comes to the end, Ye Chen, you will still come to me on bended knees!" Louis had a terrifyingly malicious and insidious look.


Seven years ago, she coolly threw down 100 yuan and ran off with her son. Seven years later, she brings back her genius son who is a lady killer. To her surprise, she was betrayed by her precious son and made to work in MBS International. Her boss is the Mr. 100 Yuan from seven years ago!
"…Evil lass, how dare you humiliate me seven years ago. I will definitely make you pay for it this time!"
"I will buy your life for a hundred million!"
What a bad deal for me? Buy one get one free?
When an extremely scheming man meets an extremely scheming woman with a son as scheming as them, a battle of wits and masquerading takes place. Let's see who reigns supreme!

A plethora of planes were gathered in a small regional airport. There were all types of aircraft; Fighter jets, Business jets, Experimental planes, and even Helicopters. This was Oshkosh; an annual gathering of aircraft enthusiasts from all over the world. There were all types of enthusiasts here too; amateurs who built planes from their garage to the biggest manufacturers in the world. 

A young man in jeans and a green hoodie was seen walking around while observing the different aircraft. This was the first time Michael had seen this many planes in one place and there was a lot to see. Even with his enhanced vision, he could not see an end to the sea of planes. He was mostly here to buy some planes. However, he wanted to get a good look before talking to sales reps.

Michael did not know exactly what he wanted; in reality, he would have preferred using his own flying skill but that was not something he could use frequently. Therefore, he had to pick some aircraft to use in normal situations. Michael figured it was best to go for versatility, his personal policy was to be prepared for any situation. That's why he has a supermarket full of goods in his inventory. He wanted to do the same thing with planes. 

After making sure that he got a good idea of the different types of aircraft, he headed towards the area with all the sales rep. First, he walked towards the Cessna stall. 

Kendrick Thomas noticed a young man walking towards his booth. The man was wearing casual clothes. As the senior sales rep for Cessna aviation, Kendrick had seen a lot of "dreamers" approach his stall and waste his time. He hated kids like that; they always gawked at the demo plane like cavemen seeing a phone for the first time. It was a hassle to clean the jet every time one these destitute admirers drooled all over it.

" Hello, Can you tell me more about Cessna Jets? How are they better than the other brands?" Michael asked. On the surface, all the jets looked the same to him. He was hoping the salesman could enlighten him.

"Kid, Don't waste my time. You look like you won't be able to afford even the cheapest model. If you want to fly then your best bet is to jump off a building with a parachute." The salesman reprimanded Michael. 

The other salesman nearby heard the joke and started laughing. Michael looked around and realized that he wasn't going to get any help from them. " Fuck you assholes. One day I will buy the company you work for; Lets see you laugh then." He muttered under his breath. 


" Hello, are you looking to purchase any aircraft sir?" a young blonde lady in a black dress approached Michael. She had seen him getting ridiculed by other salesmen and decided to take a shot herself. 

" Yes I am; Are you a sales rep?" Michael asked. He was surprised to find someone acting polite with him.  

" Oh no, My name is Jamie Bellamy; I am an independent agent that helps buyers find the planes they are looking for." The lady extended her hand.

Michael shook her hand and smiled. It looks like he was finally making some progress. " So what type of services do you provide Jamie? I didn't know that I needed a third-party agent to purchase aircraft." 

" Well, I mostly help buyers in the second-hand market. I do background research on the aircraft to make sure it is in good condition and verify all its logs and paperwork. You can say I protect buyers from scams. I also help with purchasing new aircraft too. The salesman you see here represent their manufacturer and will try to upsell you their most expensive model. On the contrary, an agent like me will try to find the best plane for you." Jamie went on to explain. She had nearly a decade of experience selling planes and could almost instantly find the perfect plane for the client. 

Michael listened to her explanation and felt satisfied. Basically, she would keep his interests in heart and try to find the best aircraft for him. He negotiated terms with her and reached a mutually beneficial arrangement. 

" So what sort of aircraft are you looking for sir?" Jamie asked.  

" Well, I am actually looking to make some big purchases. I want to get multiple aircraft. I know for sure that I want to get a business jet, a turboprop for rough runways, and a helicopter." Michael listed of his main requirements. He wanted the ability to fly anywhere in the world. 

Jamie took in a deep breath. "It seemed like I reeled in a whale" She thought to herself. Most people bought one plane at a time and then replaced it when necessary. Clients like Michael were known as whales who bought planes like they were nothing. 

" Do you have the financing all sorted out sir?" This was the nice way of asking if he could afford it in the first place. 

Michael smiled at Jamie's polite questions. " Yes, I can pay for everything with cash." 

Jamie smiled at Michael's confirmation; That was all she needed. She started showing him the aircraft that he wanted. 

They spent the whole day looking at the aircraft and managed to narrow it down to several choices. Jamie met up with Michael the next morning ready to close some deals with this extravagant spender. 

The first plane Michael bought was a Beechcraft King Air 350. It was a turboprop plane that was meant to operate in remote parts of the world. It could operate in grass/gravel and even dirt runways. There were models operating in over 105 countries in the world. The model Michael purchased was only two years old and was in meticulous condition. At 6 million dollars it was quite a bargain for the condition it was in. 

Next, Michael ended up purchasing two helicopters; a Robinson R66 and an AgustaWestland A109. The total costs for both came to a whopping 8 million dollars. The R66 was an economy helicopter meant for small distances; The A109 was a luxury helicopter that was designed for billionaires to travel far in style. Then Michael decided to get a seaplane. He had no idea why he would ever want to land a plane in the ocean but for five million dollars, now he can.

As he walked around the expo, he gaped at the military jets that were on sale. There was a row of P-51 mustangs from World War Two; Mig 29s from Russia, and even a Harrier Jump jet that was used on aircraft carriers. It was actually legal to buy and fly military jets in the United States, if that wasn't freedom then he did not know what was. However, Michael turned the fighter jets down; you might be free to buy them but that did not mean you weren't gonna end up on a watch list, and that is the last thing Michael needed right now.

The last plane on the list was a business jet; Michael and Jamie walked to the area of corporate jets. Jamie could personally place an order with the manufacturer and skip the sales rep so Michael did not have to interact with the morons. 

" Hey look who is back! What's the matter you couldn't afford any of the planes on that side. Well, I got news for you. If you can't afford those. Then don't even think about coming over here." Kendrick replied. 

" No, Michael has already spent nearly 20 million dollars on that side. He is here to place an order for a new business jet." 

Kendrick's jaw nearly crashed into the floor. Twenty million dollars was more than enough to get a new medium-sized jet. He did not expect this poor teenager to spend that much on planes. Not to mention, Michael wasn't done yet. He was going to order another jet; a brand new one this time. 

" Well, we have a remarkable line of jets at Cessna. A different model for every requirement." Kendrick started his usual routine. 

" That's alright, I am no longer interested in Cessna jets. Jamie will show me the other options, so I don't need your help." Michael immediately turned him down. 

Kendrick could only watch as they walked past his booth. He wished he took Michael seriously the first time; unfortunately, there is nothing he could do but feel regret. 

Michael and Jamie discussed all the available options. Michael finally settled on a Gulfstream G650; It was one the top business jets in production. With a range of 12,000 km and a max speed of 0.90 Mach; it was the cream of the crop. Michael ordered a model without too much luxury options but the bill still came to a whopping 70 million dollars. He did not want to spend so much, but there really was no other plane that had this much range or speed. 

Michael paid the deposit and wrote down the address of the hanger he bought in Austin. He would have to arrange for a third party to maintain all the aircraft. The G650 itself had an estimated yearly maintenance cost of 5 million dollars. The whole aircraft deal would set him back nearly 100 million dollars. But Michael was not complaining; after all, he could make that in less than a month. 

The G650 was scheduled to be delivered in a month. Michael decided to fly the King Air 350 home while arranging all his other aircraft to be delivered to Austin Municipal Airport. Hopefully, they will all fit in the hanger.

Michael was just an ordinary boy living in modern-day America. He grew up in an orphanage with a bleak future. One day he acquired a mysterious package only to inherit a system. Join Michael as he changes his fate and conquers his destiny; armed with a mysterious system that tries to convince him to take over the world.

This is my first novel so I would appreciate any constructive criticism and support.


This novel will also be posted on RoyalRoad.

After returning to East Prussia for half a year, Chen tian has gradually become familiar with everything here, including the things the prince has to do and the figures from the military, political and business circles here. Since Germany's industry and economy are developing rapidly and steadily, he has not made much economic moves. However, Zac's return made him feel very good. Hundreds of millions of yen of funds was like a dream, so every time he saw Zac, he couldn't help but kiss him, and Zac had to laugh. Wipe off the saliva on the face again and again.
Militaryly, the Königsberg shipyard established by Chentian is currently in the submarine research and development stage, and has not manufactured submarines on a large scale. However, in order to expand the scale of the shipyard, it has begun to manufacture ordinary cargo ships and small warships. In addition, he also invested in several R&D projects with Krupp Arms Company, including artillery recovery devices and artillery (mortar), as well as purchased gasoline engine production technology from Daimler Motor Company and established himself Engine research room.
Looking at the snow fluttering in the sky, Chen Tian missed his hometown a little. If only I could fly back...
fly? aircraft? aircraft! Chen Tian suddenly remembered this very important thing, the plane has not been invented yet! If he captured the Wright brothers himself, he would have this leading technology alone.
But when he approached Zac to discuss it, he found it impossible to start. Because he didn't know where the Wright brothers lived. Besides, they are not famous yet. How come to find the vast population in the United States? Zac wondered why Chen Tian was so interested in two unknown Americans.
"Well! We write a letter to Thomas, let him pay attention to these two people!" Chen Tian thought for a while, they will become famous when they invented the plane, and now they have to do it first.
"Zac, do you want to fly like a bird?"
"Flight? I seem to hear that people can fly off the top of a mountain on a glider, but a few years ago, a person named Li Lintar died on a glider, and very few people played that thing afterwards." Zach Shake Shook his head.
"Do you believe it? If you put the glider on the engine, you can soar freely!" Chen Tian blinked at Zac.
"How is it possible?" Zac still shook his head. "How many engines, how can you fly on a glider!"
"Don't believe it? You help me find two people who can make gliders. I will go to our engine research room. Let us challenge the sky where only birds fly. How about it?"
"Okay!" Zac finally nodded his bald head. "Hopefully your dream can come true, flying like a bird!"
dream? Even without yourself, the dream of human flying will soon be realized! Chen Tian smiled.
A month later, Zac found two Germans Jens and Simon "playing" gliders, as well as their self-made biplane gliders, and Chentian's engine research laboratory also built a 20-horsepower, weight according to his requirements. The engine is 100 kg. They modified the glider, installed three wheels on the wings and tail, and installed the propeller-mounted engine on the glider.
On February 3, 1903, their test machine made its first test flight in Chen tian's private estate. Unfortunately, the first test flight was not smooth. The engine cried frantically, but the test machine just flew forward along the ground bounced, but refused to fly.
"Is this guy's wings too short?" Chen Tian asked when the test machine stopped.
"His Royal Highness! Do you really think that the glider with the engine can fly?" said Jens, the pilot, who climbed off the test plane.
"Of course! The glider glides down from the height to fly, because there is enough speed and the buoyancy of the air flow!" Chen Tian explained, but Jens and Simon shook their heads puzzledly.
"Let the workers add half a meter to each wing!" Chen Tian was helpless. The plane flew by using the pressure difference caused by the air flow up and down the wing! To be more specific, he is not very clear.
In the next 10 days, they conducted another four test flights. Although they were still unsuccessful, the effect was better than the first one. The test machine seemed to be flying, but it felt a little worse.
February 14, 1903, Valentine's Day. Chen Tian they carried out the sixth test flight. This time they replaced a new propeller and the wings were lengthened again.
"Alas..." Everyone was very disappointed to see the test machine that Jens was driving bouncing but never flying.
"His Royal Highness, are you here today! Today is Valentine's Day, we are all..." Simon is a young man in his early 20s, and he seems to have some activities at night.
"Well! It seems that this is the only way!" Chen Tian sighed helplessly.
When Jens ran breathlessly from where the test machine stopped, Simon said with a smile:
"Hi! Jens, it's time to lose weight! You can't run even if you run!"
Chen Tian suddenly lighted up, "Wait, Jens, how heavy are you?"
"192 pounds, what's wrong?"
"Then Simon, how about you? 203 pounds!"
"I'm 55 years old!" Zac shook his head. He knew exactly what Chen Tian wanted to do.
"Okay! Here I am the lightest, 165 pounds! Let me drive the test machine to try it once!" Chen Tian gritted his teeth, and it was a big fracture of his hands and feet. "Also, cut the gasoline in the engine by half! Come on, everyone! Get started, today we will try one last time!"
Everyone hurriedly followed Chen Tian's words and then returned the testing machine to the starting position.
Chen Tian was lying on the position of the test machine, and Zack asked anxiously:
"Your Highness, are you sure you want to try? I think this thing is not very safe!"
Chen Tian nodded resolutely.
The engine starts.
Chentian felt that the test machine began to slide forward, and then began to bounce...
Suddenly, he felt the test machine bouncing, but this time he did not jump back to the ground, a very light feeling.
"I'm flying!" Chen Tian shouted excitedly, cheering on the ground in the distance.
The test machine glided more than 40 meters at a height of more than 2 meters and then landed on the ground. Chen Tian turned off the engine, and the test machine slid forward a distance and stopped on the ground. Chen Tian sat up and smiled as everyone ran from a distance...
"Your Highness, you really scared me to death!" Zac said, panting.
"How? Everybody sees! We can fly freely like birds! I announced that the name of this test machine is, Jiji Aircraft!"
"Oh..."
In the next few months, Chen Tian was buried in the improvement of the aircraft, of course everything was carried out in a secret state.
Ten months and three days later, the Wright brothers and their aircraft made their first successful flight in the United States. Thomas then informed Chen Tian of the Wright brothers' intelligence, and Chen Tian invited him to Germany before the US government found them. When the Wright brothers, who thought they were the first to invent the plane in the world, came to Chen Tian's plane, their eyes fell out. At this time, Chen Tian's plane could already carry two people for several hours of flight. However, in view of the talent of the Wright brothers, Chen tian heavily hired them to participate in their own aircraft research and development and took their family to Germany.
Because Chen tian's aircraft development and test flight were carried out in a more confidential state, until October 12, 1906, three years later, the Brazilian Santos Dumont and his "14bis" flew into the sky, The world knows that humans can fly. After that, Chen Tian officially put his plane on the table and flew in the sky of East Prussia.
After investing a lot of money to build his own aircraft factory, Chen tian began to introduce the aircraft as an artillery school shooting tool into the East Prussian Army, which greatly increased the power of the artillery. At the end of 1906, Chen Tian showed and recommended his aircraft to William II. William II greatly appreciated this, and immediately decided to purchase aircraft in batches from Chen Tian's aircraft factory to equip the German army. Because of the key technology of aircraft, Chen tian's aircraft factory monopolizes the aircraft market in Germany and even more than half of Europe. Of course, Chen Tian's aircraft exported to European countries are relatively primitive and backward models. Until the outbreak of World War I, German aircraft maintained a superiority with European countries for at least 3 years, which made the German army spend most of the war The sky in the battlefield is in control.

The ordinary college student Chen Tian was inexplicably reborn in the German royal family before the beginning of the First World War. At the baptism, he was crowned the Prince of East Prussia by his great grandfather William I, making him an uncompromising "Princehood".

After the rebirth, Chen Tian used his identity and his mind to transcend the concepts at that time, constantly searching for famous generals and discovering some buried talents. Hindenburg? Brother Mammoth, please come to be a teacher; Goodrian? Comrades, shall we work together; Rommel? Young people work hard, I think you are good. And he used his advanced military knowledge to arm his troops, build tanks, build aircraft carriers, and develop the air force, and began a brilliant road to rise.

Under his company, his companions, lovers, and loved ones, Chen Tian gradually grew into a new leader of the German Empire, leading Germany to the road to dominate Europe. Of course, for an Asian island country, no one would mind the protagonist to repair it. of. . .

'How's she?' A middleaged man asked no one in
particular as he rushed into the hospital
reception, he had a pot belly which clearly
showed it round signs from the neatly ironed
shirt.
He turned to Lovina who was sitting in the
reception sofa with the driver, three uniformed
policemen were seen standing beside them.
'How's your sister?' The man asked again.
'Loveth is fine' Lovina answered, folding her
arms as she stood up with tears formed in her
eyes. 'The doctor said she didn't lose much
blood because we brought her in early, they just
have to take out the bullet'
'Thank God!' He exclaimed, rubbing his palms in
the air in appreciation. He turned to the three
policemen that stood beside Lovina, 'but how
did it happen? Who was the criminal that tried
to kill my Loveth?'
'We don't know sir, but our men are after him
and would surely get him' one of the officers
replied.
He turned back to Lovina, 'I think you should go
back to school now since Loveth is already on
treatment. I'll see the doctors'
'Huh?' Her eyes widened in disbelief. 'Dad! That
guy tried to shoot me also'she exclaimed.
'The criminal is already being pursued by the
police, he can't come after you again' he
reassured. 'These officers would also follow you
there'
'Dad, I'm scared' she said as she ran into his
warm embrace. 'I don't think I'm stable enough
to fly the plane anymore'
'Don't be scared dear, my enemies have failed'
he said, patting her on the back. 'I'm sure they
only want to stop you from flying the plane
successfully'
'Would you go with me Dad?' She looked into
his eyes and asked.
'No' he replied, he could read the
disappointment in her eyes. 'I have to stay with
your sister'
'Ok' she agreed hesitatingly, ' I'll go'
She picked up her bag and looked at her father
again for reassurance before she walked out of
the hospital, two officers and the driver
followed.
The man sat into the sofa where Lovina where
Lovina got up from, he ignore the gazes of
other waiters in the reception and buried his
face in his palm. He wondered who it could be
that attacked his daughters, he wondered who
wanted them dead. Loveth, Lovina's twin sister
was a student of the university of Enugu and
had come on a short break to grace the special
event with her sister. The assailant's target
was surely Lovina but the great resemblance of
the twins must have confused him and he
decided to shoot both but failed.
+++++++++++
Jude paced the floor, already getting impatient
waiting for Lovina. He was already dressed in
his pilot's uniform, the flight was to take off in
the next twenty minutes and he was to walk
out with his partner and pass through the
security protocols before going to settle in the
airplane.
His mind became at rest when he noticed a
figure behind him, he heaved a sigh of relief.
'Lovina, why did …' He was saying at he turned
to look at the figure. His sorrow returned when
he turned back to see Gloria dressed in a pilot
uniform.
'Jude' she called and smiled at him.
'What?' He barked at her turning his back to
her, 'I'm in a serious dilemma here and you're
playing games with me'
'I'm here to help you Jude' she said calmly.
'What stupid help?' He growled, he narrowed his
gaze at her and examined her appearance. He
asked with a threatening tone 'where did you
find this uniform?'
'I've come to help you Jude' she ignored his
question and continued. 'Lovina is not here and
I don't want you to lose this opportunity, I can
represent her'
'You know that's not possible'
'It is' Gloria insisted
'It's not, all the students and lecturers present
already know who is supposed to fly with me'
Jude argued.
'But they would not notice, they'll only be
watching us from far' She put in. 'I won't stay
out of the plane so long for them to see me'
'You can't even get into the plane' he said
sternly, 'Only Lovina's ID card and mine would
be allowed by the security to enter the plane or
even access the runway
'I have one here' she displayed an ID card to
him.
'What? How did you get that?' He asked, his
look turned into a suspicious one.
'Shhh…' Gloria hushed him, placing a finger on
her lips. 'Stop raising your voice, I only want to
help you'
He narrowed his gaze first and then raised his
brow, 'I don't need that kind of help, it could
get me into more trouble'
She moved closer to him, removing an android
device from her pocket. She opened her chat
with Aisha on the instant messenger, revealing
some pictures and videos.
'Here' she pointed something to him on the
screen. He refused to look into it first, but he
saw something familiar that caught his
attention. The picture she was showing him
looked like one taken in his sister's hostel
room. He moved closer to have a clearer view.
He was greatly shocked by what he saw. His
younger sister, the only sibling he had and the
only surviving member of his family who was a
law student in the port Harcourt university
couldn't come to the event because she had an
exam that day. He was terrified seeing her tied
to a chair in the room, blindfolded wearing a
bomb jacket.
'Who are you and what do you want with my
sister?' Jude asked shakily.
'I want nothing with you or your sister and I
won't harm any of you if you cooperate with
me' she spoke, tapping in some commands into
the android device, she switched it off and flung
it into a locker. She returned to face him, 'all I
want is to get on the plane with you'
'But that's not possible' his eyes was full of
pleas.
'Then you have to sacrifice your sister ' she
said bluntly. She rolled up her sleeve and
showed him a device placed around her wrist
close to the watch, she placed her hand on the
red button. 'All I need to do is touch this and
your sister would join your parents'
'No no, please' he pleaded with tears forming in
his eyes, he knelt on the floor.
'That won't work Jude, what I want is to fly
plane with you, I've have a message for one of
our passengers' she continued without no pity in
her voice. She glanced at her wristwatch and
turned her back on him, 'we have only eight
minutes to board the plane, your sister or I pilot
the plane with you?'
'Okay' he finally agreed, wiping off his face as
he got up from his kneels. 'But you have to
promise me that nothing will happen to her'
'Nothing would happen to her' she said with a
smile.
'Let's go' Jude said as he matched forward to
the exit.
'Wait!' She ordered, 'clean off your face
properly, no one must suspect anything'
'Okay' he used an handkerchief to mop his face
and tried to put on a smile.
'Good' she smiled again. 'We're going straight
into the plane after we pass the governor's
security officials, no wasting of time'
She walked back to the second exit which she
entered from and opened the door slightly. She
inserted a metal into the lock and fastened it
like a bolt, she left the site slightly opened and
turned back to join Jude.
Jude led the way out and they proceeded
where the plane was parked. Gloria took care
not to look back at all as she could hear
several voices chanting the names 'Lovina' and
'Jude', they thought she was Lovina since she
was wearing a wig of the same hairstyle Lovina
had on. They passed the governor's security
officials easily after they displayed their ID
cards and were searched.
She avoided looking towards John Obiano who
was outside, looking fly in his black shiny suit
complimented with a red tie as he chatted with
the minister and the Rivers state governor,
Kelechi Edwin.
The Aviation minister was also dressed in a
black suit and shirt but he had no tie on. The
only odd one was the Governor, he was adorned
in a native attire and a black hat to match it, he
always loved to represent his culture especially
when he was in a program that was being
televised internationally.
Gloria greeted the dignitaries briefly and walked
into the airplane immediately with Jude to
settle in the cockpit. Jude took the Captain's
position at the left while Gloria took the first
officer's seat, a drop of sweat rolled down her
head from underneath the wig she wore.
++++++++++
'Hey!' A lady dressed in an air hostess' uniform
carrying a black bag approached Cole in the
midst of several students and guests walking in
and out of the field.
'Hey' Cole replied with laughter in seeing Aisha,
'you looked great in this uniform'
She poked him by the side playfully and joined
in the laughter, 'are you done with your job?'
'Yes, I've been waiting here for you all day' he
replied.
'Well' she continued and they began to walk
slowly, 'my task was a little bit cumbersome'
'What were you asked to do?'
'To handle the pilot's sister and also exchange
one of the flight attendant's bag'
'And how did it go?' He asked.
'Fine, how was yours?'
'Good, it was easier than I thought it would be'
he replied, 'I only dropped a needle into John
Obiano's pocket'
'Needle?' She asked, facing him.
'Yea'
'I think there was a pack of needle in my bag
too, but the main thing was a parachute'
He chuckled as they continued walking, 'I was
almost wondering how she intended to drop off
the plane before'
'Your task was simple ' Aisha teased. 'No one
could have failed that'
'Huh?' He gave her a sharp look. 'Do you know
how many bodyguards I had to go past?'
She hissed playfully, 'stop magnifying it'
'See you' he gave a playful hiss and peeped into
the bag she was carrying. 'What do we have
there?'
'Nothing edible, stop sniffing' she pushed his
nose with a finger. 'Except you want to eat first
aid materials and other hostesses' kits'
He replied with a prolonged hiss showing his
disappointment
Cole stopped suddenly, he looked shocked as he
stared at someone approaching them. Aisha
paused to see what he was staring at, the same
look appeared on her face.
'Gosh!' Cole whispered. They stared at Lovina
and the two officers approaching hurriedly.

This story is about a Lady Assassin who was
trained in Russia, specially skilled in the art and
carrying out the job with no fears, restraints or
apologies.
She became so powerful and was greatly feared
by several of her male counterparts, including
some of the masters who trained her. She hated
so many things, God was number one on her
hatred list.
She came down to Nigeria and was still involved
in her profession until she met someone who
was willing to help her start a new life.
But people from the past came into her life
bringing back old memories. Then she met her
match, another fierce assassin

However, there was not a single sound in the quiet forest behind him. It was as if Yan Biao had misheard the sound just now.
His gaze swept across the people behind him. In the next moment, he discovered a problem. "No, why is there a person missing? "
"Ah? Yes, there's a person missing. Little Wolf is missing! " A subordinate shouted.
They were all mercenaries hired by Yan Biao at the last minute. There was definitely a person missing.
"There's a lot! I'm here! I went to the toilet behind the tree just now! " Little Wolf said as he ran out.
"Next time, don't be so scary! " Yan Biao said.
Behind the big tree, the man in black raised his arm again and shot at the people next to little wolf, instantly killing a few people.
Yan Biao was in chaos. "Who, WHO's there? "
He pulled out his gun and fired into the depths of the forest.
"Brother Biao! RUN QUICKLY! I don't know how many people are here! " Little Wolf quickly said, "you run forward, I'LL COVER YOU! "
Yan Biao promised to turn around and run towards the helicopter.
Little Wolf turned around and picked up his gun, but the people he shot were not the people in the forest, but the mercenaries in front of him.
Those mercenaries were all fighting against the people in the depths of the forest. They were completely unprepared for the situation behind them. Just like that, they were completely annihilated.
Little Wolf took a deep look at the people in the depths of the forest. He turned around and ran towards Yan Biao. He followed Yan Biao's figure and climbed onto the helicopter.
"Brother Biao! Our people are all annihilated! " He said.
"F * Ck, I just hired people! Do you know how to fly a plane? " Yan Biao asked.
"I know how to fly! I'll fly the plane! " Little Wolf said.
"run quickly, or we WON'T BE ABLE TO ESCAPE! When I reach the Black Triangle, I'll hire another batch. I'll see who dares to kill me! " Yan Biao roared angrily. He felt all sorts of heartache for his money!
As the plane flew into the sky, the man in black in the depths of the forest walked out of the forest. He did not even glance at the people on the ground. On the electronic map in his phone, a red dot was displayed, reporting the wolf's location at any time.
No one knew that Yan Biao did not hear the first sound wrongly. The first person he shot was the wolf who was walking at the end. However, his men dragged the wolf to the back of the tree the moment it fell, changed into the wolf's clothes, and then ran out pretending to be the wolf.
He watched the plane disappear into the sky, turned around, and walked out of the forest. Everything was under his control... ...

In Li Ang's villa, Li Ang walked into his bedroom under the surveillance of his mother, Roland.
Of course, he was not the only one in the bedroom, but also le LE.
"My mother, my mother insisted that I come in and locked the other rooms, " he said awkwardly.
He originally thought that it was just a marriage to give Le Le a status so that she would not be questioned by the media, but in the end, his mother seriously wanted him to get married and have children!
Moreover, Le Le's parents also lived here, so he could not quarrel with his mother.
Le Le Nodded. "This is your room, you should be here. "
She stood up awkwardly. She was drunk last night, but today she was sober and did not know how to face her prince charming.
"I, I AM ON THE SOFA! I took a shower in the guest room, you can use the bathroom. " Li Ang said and sat on the SOFA.
"You will be uncomfortable if you are tall on the sofa. I am on the SOFA. " After saying that, Le Le picked up a quilt and put it on the Sofa to occupy her seat, then she ran into the bathroom.
In the bathroom, she finally caught her breath. Being with her prince charming, she was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe.
Li Ang looked at the quilt and did not go to the big bed. Instead, he lay on the SOFA. He was a man. How could he be considered a man if a woman was on the SOFA?
He covered his head with the quilt and pressed the remote control to turn off the lights in the room, leaving only a night light for the little woman.
When le Le Walked out of the bathroom, she saw the darkness in the first room.
However, she did not see a man on the big bed. Could he have sneaked out?
Roland would not stand outside the door and stare at them 24 hours a day, would he?
She quickly walked to the Sofa and sat on it. However, the man's voice scared her so much that she bounced up from the Sofa.
"Ah! " She fell onto the carpet.
Li Ang sat up and reached out to help the little woman up. "Are you okay? "
Le Le used the man's strength to stand up. "I'm fine, I'm fine. I didn't hurt you, did I? "
Le Le Looked at the man in surprise. "Oh, Hehe, why are you here? I didn't know you were here. "
"I'm here, " Li Ang ordered
"Let me be here. You'RE THE GRAND DUKE! " Le Le Reached out and pulled Li Ang up.
But the man's weight was far from what she could pull.
Le Le Pursed her lips and thought of the method Qin Sheng had given her. Should she try Qin Sheng's method?
"Well, we're husband and wife now. You said that you would treat me like a wife until I find my true love and divorce you, " she whispered.
"Yes. What's wrong? " Li Ang didn't quite understand what the little woman meant.


"Uncle, I was punished for being late! " "Buy the school. "
"Uncle, I was bullied! " "SEND THEM TO HEAVEN! "
In this era of competing for fathers, Qin Sheng never competed for fathers. Those things were too extravagant. She didn't have them, she only competed for uncles!
Ever since she had a rich uncle, she lived a life of fighting and being cleaned up by others, causing trouble and being scapegoated by others.
Her three big goals in life were to make him fall in love with her, fall in love with her, fall in love with her!

Gu Ning didn't know that another video about her went viral again, but she didn't care about it either.
Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning set off from the house around 10 am, and they arrived at the hotel when it was almost 12 pm because of the sudden attack.
"What took you so long?" Cao Wenxin asked. She wasn't complaining, but was worried about them. Cao Wenxin thought that they must have encountered a traffic jam, but they were late by nearly an hour.
"Something happened on our way," Gu Ning said, but didn't explain further. Cao Wenxin also stopped asking, since they were there now.
Their plane was about to take off at 1:50 pm, so they had to finish their lunch in a hurry and leave for the airport. They didn't have much time, so they sped up eating and finished their lunch before 12:30 pm.
Although they still had enough time to go to the airport, and normally it only took around half an hour to get there, they still needed to be quick in case they would be caught in traffic jams.
The car Leng Shaoting drove to the airport belonged to Shengshi Group, so he directly parked it in the parking lot, and his subordinates would come and drive it back.
Their group consisted of four good-looking young men and women, so they attracted a lot of attention once they walked inside.
Before they were aboard, Xin Bei received Xu Jinchen's call, and Xu Jinchen asked him where he was right now.
Xin Bei told Xu Jinchen that he was at the airport now and was going to fly to City B along with Leng Shaoting. Hearing that, Xu Jinchen was displeased. "Why didn't you tell me that you're going to City B?"
"If you want to go there, just fly there. We're about to board," Xin Bei said. He was thinking of Cao Wenxin all the time now, and totally forgot his close brother.
It turned out that Leng Shaoting wasn't the only one who valued his girlfriend above his close brothers.
"Oh, Si Ming is also in City B now, right?" Xin Bei remembered that Si Ming went to meet Qiu Yuxin in City B once he had fulfilled his task.
It seemed that they all valued their girlfriends above their close brothers.
Xu Jinchen felt very hurt all of a sudden. His close brothers all had a girlfriend now, while he was still single. He felt that he was the odd man out, and hesitated to join them in City B. 
"Go there or not, it depends on you. I gotta go now. We're going aboard," Xin Bei said and hung up. He didn't care whether Xu Jinchen joined them.
Xin Bei didn't tell Xu Jinchen why they were flying to City B. If Xu Jinchen knew that they went there to attend the opening ceremony of Gu Ning's store, he would, of course, join them.
In the end, Xu Jinchen still decided to fly to City B. Therefore, he booked the latest plane ticket, and the plane would take off at 3:10 pm.
…
Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei were two stunning men, and they were always the focus of people's attention wherever they appeared. Once they were aboard, two stewardesses noticed them. The two stewardesses saw them walking into the cabin, and tried to find out which class they sat in.
Although Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei didn't sit in the First Class cabin, their outstanding appearances were attractive enough. In addition, not every rich man preferred to sit in the First Class cabin, because many rich people tended to keep a low profile.
When every passenger was aboard, the two stewardesses started to talk about them.
"Look at them! They're so handsome and sexy, especially the one in black."
"Indeed! I think the man in gray is a better choice, because the one in black seems so cold."
"I love the one in black."
"Why don't we try later to see which one is easier to pick up?"
"Why not!"
The two stewardesses were quite confident about themselves, but unfortunately they chose the wrong men and they were doomed to be disappointed. 
In fact, both of the two stewardesses were very pretty, with good body shapes, otherwise they wouldn't be so confident. In normal cases, men would love to strike up a conversation with them even if they didn't take any action. However, they met two unusual men on this plane today.
Before the plane started, flight attendants had to make sure that every passenger was wearing his or her safety belt, so the two stewardesses walked to Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei at this moment.
In the beginning, Leng Shaoting's seat wasn't with Gu Ning but Xin Bei, so Gu Ning exchanged seats with Xin Bei and Xin Bei, of course, wouldn't disagree.
Both Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei sat on an aisle seat. The two stewardesses just walked by them and gave them a glance at first, but didn't say anything. 
The closer they walked to them, the more excited they were, because Leng Shaoting and Xin Bei were too handsome to be ignored. 
The two stewardesses soon walked back with a pile of blankets in their hands.
Right at this moment, a passenger who sat on the window seat in the same row as Xin Bei needed a blanket, so the stewardess gave him one, and asked Xin Bei at the same time, "Sir, do you need a blanket?" 
"No, thanks." Xin Bei was a gentleman, but didn't give the stewardess a glance at all, which disappointed her.
In order not to arouse any special attention, the stewardess also asked Cao Wenxin who sat next to Xin Bei, and Cao Wenxin declined too.
The other stewardess asked Leng Shaoting the same question, but she heard the same answer, and felt disappointed as well. She asked Gu Ning later, but Gu Ning didn't need one either.
Although it seemed that the stewardess didn't treat Leng Shaoting differently, Gu Ning still noticed the touch of disappointment flash by her eyes when Leng Shaoting declined.
Why did the stewardess seem disappointed when Shaoting declined a blanket and didn't give her a glance at all? Gu Ning thought to herself. She believed that the stewardess must be attracted to Leng Shaoting.
She was with Leng Shaoting right now, but the stewardess still tried to strike up a conversation with him. If she wasn't by his side, other women could be more proactive! Gu Ning was displeased, but didn't care much about it, because she knew Leng Shaoting very well.
The plane soon took off. When it flew steadily in the air, the flight attendants began to hand out drinks.
Since Gu Ning already knew that the stewardess admired Leng Shaoting, she purposefully clasped his arm when she walked over and they seemed very close. Therefore, the stewardess was quite upset when she saw that. Although the stewardess was upset, she still did her job and asked them what they wanted to drink.


She was once a puppet to her family, a commercial spy and assassin pursued by the police. One day, she falls into the sea after being betrayed. 

When she wakes up again, she is an ordinary third year student in high school. Due to her ignoble past and the ostracization of her relatives, she has always been bullied by her classmates, partly due to her being a loner. 

With her gaining a new lease of life, she undergoes a massive change, returning any bullying she received in the past. With a powerful cheat, a pair of telepathic jade eyes, she is able to easily appraise jade and succeed at gambling.

She starts a business, becoming a legendary businesswoman. There's no need to talk about people who previously mocked her for being poor when they see her billion-yuan net worth.

Days are good, except for an easily jealous man beside her. For no good reason, she ends up aching all over, especially in her nether regions, all thanks to him. 

This is a story whose male and female leads are both strong and untainted.

Whether it was pizza or noodles, the chef made great food. The ingredients were good, and the first-class passengers were satisfied.
At that moment, a couple walked into first class and took the two remaining seats.
The stewardess came and explained in a low voice, "These two passengers have just upgraded to this cabin. I'm sorry if this disturbed you. I hope you understand."
This stewardess was the one Hans flirted with when he came in. She was white, beautiful, and had long legs. She was the head stewardess in charge of the first class international flights, and had a pleasant appearance and personality.
Hans was interested in her, and when he heard this, he replied with a smile, "They have disturbed me. In fact, I was beginning to feel sleepy and was about to go to bed."
Stunned, the stewardess said, "I'm sorry."
"Oh, don't apologize. Just give me a smile. Your smile is warm and quiet. It could calm my heart," said Hans.
Li Du glared at him.
The stewardess didn't mind. She smiled sweetly. "All right, sir. Thank you for your understanding."
Although Hans's voice was soft, the first-class cabin was silent, so the couple that had just come in heard him. The man was dissatisfied and immediately said, "Really, what a rascal!"
His voice was loud enough that Hans heard it. Hans was a little dissatisfied himself and said, "I was only joking."
"Then your joke is still a low-class joke." The two men confronted each other directly.
The husband in the couple was a white man with blond hair and blue eyes, while the wife was a gentle Asian lady. Li Du was not sure of her nationality.
Li Du stopped Hans, while his wife stopped him and spoke softly in Japanese.
Then Li Du knew the woman should be Japanese.
The man responded to his wife in Japanese and said, "ba ka," several times in a row.
Li Du frowned. Hans asked, "What did he say?"
Lu Guan, who was playing a mobile game leaned forward and said, "He said you were a lascivious jerk and a bad person. He's asking his wife to stay away from you."
"Do you understand Japanese, too?" Li Du asked, surprised.
He only knew that what the man said was not something nice because he said, "ba ka" three times, which was actually "baga" in Japanese, and was often used in anti-Japanese dramas.
Due to Japanese pronunciation habits, the sound that should be pronounced "ka" sounded like "ga." However, it would not be a problem for foreigners who knew Japanese.
Hans got angry before Lu Guan could reply to Li Du. "What the hell does he mean? He is looking for trouble!"
Li Du held him down and said, "It's all right, man. You were the one who made a joke in the first place. Don't mind what he said."
Li Du had quietly solved the small conflict. The Japanese woman apparently understood his English and bowed to him in gratitude.
In the evening, new delicacies were served. The atmosphere of the first-class cabin became much better after the flight attendants and cooks attended to everyone's comfort.
The passengers began to get to know each other. The husband and wife were Brooks Thompson and Jenny Thompson, both Australians, who had returned to their home province in Japan to visit their relatives.
After introducing each other, Brooks asked, "What are you doing in Australia? Is it a vacation? If you are traveling, you've found the right person. There is no place in Australia that I don't know. I can help you. There's no need to thank me."
Li Du thought he was rude and didn't want to talk to him. So he just replied simply, "We are going to catch New Zealand black abalone."
He answered politely, without meaning to move on to the next subject, and spoke in a respectful but cold tone, making it clear Li Du was not interested.
It turned out that he offended Brooks but did not realize how. Brooks suddenly got angry, looked at him in disgust, and mumbled something in Japanese.
"He said we were parasites, robbers, and marauders. I think this jerk is a psychopath. Let's stay away from him."
Li Du could not avoid getting angry about being scolded for no reason.
Hans then egged him on. "Shall we finish him up together? He's alone, we are a group. We could make him beg for mercy."
Li Du snorted. "Yeah, we'll do it, and make him beg. But if there is a conflict on the plane, they might fly back. Do you want that to be the situation?"
Hans was still angry. "So we just sit here being humiliated and do nothing?"
Li Du frowned. "No, wait until you get off the plane."
After dinner, there was breakfast, and when it was about noon, the flight was almost over. The plane slowly landed at Canberra airport.
Except for meeting an unreasonable Australian, Li Du was satisfied with the flight, and Hans was also satisfied. They were in first class so they could exit the plane first.
"It feels good, doesn't it?" asked Hans.
Li Du nodded with satisfaction. "Good food, good rest. It seems you feel the same?"
Hans said, "No. It's just noodles, pizza, paella, and so on. What's good about that? I got the contact information of two of the stewardesses. That's good."
As he spoke, he turned around, and in the doorway stood a long-legged stewardess with a sweet smile.
Li Du thought about it, too. He bought such expensive tickets, and just ate some food like pizza and noodles. Why was he feeling happy? Was he duped?
At that moment the couple came out, and Brooks seemed hostile toward them. He pushed them away and went down first, muttering disapprovingly, "Get out of the way."
Li Du snorted. He did not want to find trouble in the first place. The guy was definitely digging his own grave by constantly provoking him!
The Japanese paid great respect to appearance. Brooks dressed formally and wore a suit because he accompanied his wife to her mother's house.
He, like most middle-aged white men, was getting a bit fat. His belly was big, and his trousers were strapped to his waist with a belt.
Seeing this, Li Du let the little bug fly out to absorb the time energy of the belt buckle. The buckle quickly rusted off, and the belt suddenly burst open.
Without the belt, Brooks's trousers slid down from his belly, revealing a pair of red underpants.
Just as he reached the bottom of the escalator, his trousers slipped to his ankles. He tripped and fell on his face before his foot could step on the ground.
Startled, the stewardess hurried down to help him up.
Li Du walked slowly down, sneering as he passed. "You should not walk that fast, even if there's no one ahead of you. Walking too fast can easily hurt your balls. Oh, wait, you're doing fine. You didn't hurt your balls, you just lost your pants."
Brooks hurriedly pulled up his trousers. He was so stunned after falling that he could not go after Li Du, but he was still mad and angrily stomped his foot.
