The flight attendant’s cheeks took on a bright pink hue. Even her voice sounded much gentler. “Dearest passenger, we’re about to take off, so that man shouldn’t be standing up now as it will affect the takeoff procedures. That’s why I lectured him. My actions also make the overall flight smoother for passengers like you.” Her intentionally honeyed tone sounded like nails scratching against a chalkboard in Lorenzo’s ears. He was not impressed and could discern the woman’s nature, as well as what she was thinking at the moment. “I don’t care what your thought process is,” Lorenzo said, “but I hope that you won’t cause me any more displeasure during the journey ahead.” The flight attendant’s face turned pale, unable to accept what Lorenzo said. It was shocking to her that Lorenzo, a gentleman from top to bottom, could utter such harsh words. She stood rooted to her spot for the longest time before the in-flight announcement stated they would be taking off soon. Nonetheless, she

Evelyn intended to say more, but Lorenzo suddenly opened his eyes. His icy glare sent chills down everyone's spines as he ordered the captain, “You may fly this plane at its regular speed if you're able to take off within ten minutes.” Anxiously, Evelyn chewed on her bottom lip while scrutinizing Lorenzo's face. Only after seeing his blank expression did she realize he was serious. Thus, she nodded at the hesitant captain beside her. “Go. Get the plane to Aurelia City as quickly as you can.” The seat in front of Lorenzo was empty. Evelyn did not hesitate to sit there and buckle her seatbelt. “I don't think that's your seat,” Lorenzo said with a frown. “Besides, it bothers me.” He sensed Evelyn's breathing hitch but did not dwell on it. Instead, he shut his eyes. The plane soon took off. Silence settled over the cabin as no one wanted to bring up what had happened before takeoff. Throughout the journey, Evelyn kept glancing behind her, but Lorenzo never opened his eyes or sho

The screen showed what happened after Bianca dragged the older woman out of the airport earlier. Lorenzo's eyes darkened like a hailstorm had broken out in them. Not a word came from him. He looked at Leonard and stated, "I don't know who you are, and I can't do anything if you decide to publicize that video. However, I believe you're aware that doing so makes you my enemy." Leonard's lips curved upward. "I know, but I'd still like to see you pay dearly. After all, I don't like people who own vast riches." Lorenzo's eyes narrowed. He never anticipated Leonard to say such things. Even so, he remained stoic. He only nodded before returning to his seat and shutting his eyes. "Then I wish you luck," Beatrice, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said. She then took out her laptop and got comfortable in her seat. That set off a sudden anxiety in Leonard. He quickly shut off his phone, approached Beatrice's side, and looked at her laptop. Beatrice ignored him all the while,

“Lorenzo isn’t asking about our level of expertise for his personal benefit,” Beatrice thought, touched that Lorenzo had bothered to learn more about her abilities. It meant he was genuinely listening and learning about his bodyguards. “I once won first place in a hacking competition,” she elaborated, “And Edmund can do many things with his skills. Only he, among the other bodyguards, is able to perform challenging surgical operations.” Lorenzo leaned against the seat’s backrest, falling into deep thought. It took a while before he spoke. “Both of your levels of expertise seem superior to other experts in those respective fields. One can even say you’re both top in the world at what you do.” Still groveling on the ground, Leonard’s eyes shot open once he heard Lorenzo’s words. “I didn’t find out about that information beforehand. If I had known, I wouldn’t have shown up today.” With that thought, Leonard did not hesitate to tear up and plead, “Mr. Byers, please forgive me!

Besides, I don’t want to, nor will I, allow them to live. After all, their recent schemes involve recruiting children to scam other families, which I can’t tolerate.” While saying that, Leonard boldly looked into Lorenzo’s eyes. “I believe you’re also aware of these things. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have acted against them.” Lorenzo’s gaze bore into him as he nodded. “I’ve said many things to you today, and it’s significantly more than my usual conversations with my secretary. Among everything we discussed, your last assumption is the most accurate. It’s what I like to hear. Thus, from this point on until the plane lands, I want you to shut up unless you’re uttering facts. That way, I might stay in a good mood and allow you to leave this plane alive.” Meanwhile, the captain had been on the ground in the row ahead, his fingers roaming over Evelyn’s head. After Leonard and Lorenzo’s conversation dwindled, the captain meekly reported to Lorenzo, “Evelyn’s not doing so good. She has su
