Therefore, Charlie’s plan was to sneak into Bergen International Airport before the plane landed to keep an eye on this plane as well as the people and cargo unloaded from this plane to see where their destination was and who their target truly was.Although Bergen was the second largest city in Northern Europe, its population size was only a few hundred thousand, after all. So, the size of Bergen International Airport was not too large. The airport was built near the sea with a north-south runway and a terminal that was located in the center of the airport. The aircraft and logistics areas were located at the top and bottom of the terminal building.Since Northern Europe was one of the European Union countries, almost all of Bergen’s international flights were from countries within the European Union, and the customs administration was relatively loose. There were little to almost no strict entry inspections for the passengers or cargo of international flights landing here.There
The plane was parked on the open apron outside the cargo yard a few minutes later.A number of stevedores were already waiting in advance with loading trucks and transport vehicles. After the cargo plane’s hatch was opened, those stevedores lifted themselves up the side of the cabin by lifting the loading trucks. Upon opening the door, they started to unload the groups of cargo that had been arranged in pallets from the cabin, one after the other. Since the transportation of cargo planes adopted a modular method, all goods were packed according to the board. Generally speaking, it was a three-meter-one by two-meter-four special aluminum board. The aluminum board had fixed positions of uniform specifications.All goods were loaded one by one, and the entire board was transported to the interior of the engine room and fixed, and the whole board was also unloaded to improve the loading and unloading efficiency when unloading. The aircraft quickly unloaded four pallets, and each pa
After the eight stevedores had been killed, the killer who was disguised as a stevedore walked out of the cabin very calmly.After coming out, he locked the huge hatch skillfully and took the lift down to the ground.After a rendezvous with his other seven companions who had come down earlier, the eight of them transformed into stevedores directly and drove the transport truck that had just been filled with pallets away in an orderly manner.At this time, the pilots of the Boeing 777 had already started to apply for an immediate take-off to Cyprus from the control tower.Since the plane’s original flight plan was to return immediately after loading, the control tower did not have any doubts and allowed the plane to take off directly. The plane then restarted the engine with the eight corpses in it as it taxied toward the end of the runway. It soon took off and disappeared into the dark night.At the same time, after completing their stealth operation, the eight fake stevedores dro
No one noticed anything unusual. The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the motor-driven truck only made the slight sound of a motor rotating, After the car left the airport, it did not drive in the direction of the city but all the way toward the southwest, into the suburbs south of Bergen. Due to the narrow topography from north to south and the fact that most of the land in Northern Europe was within the Arctic Circle, Northern Europe was relatively weak in agriculture.However, Bergen was located in the southern part of Northern Europe where the weather was considerably mild and the terrain somewhat flat, so most of the suburbs here were farms of a certain scale.The degree of agricultural modernization in the west was rather high, so in the suburbs of Bergen, there were a few concentrated communities. The farms occupied a relatively large area, and all the residents here were also scattered, so there would only be one household every hundred of kilometers.Charlie, who
The other seven people had serious expressions, and they could not hide their excitement as they said, “Don’t worry, Commander. We will definitely do our best and not let the British Lord down!”“Okay!” The man they addressed as the commander laughed boldly and said, “Brothers, tonight is the night that we build up our achievements!” After saying that, he looked at the driver and said, “Little 4, according to the plan, the van will be parked here temporarily. You can sneak over with us, and if the mission goes well, you will come back to drive the van in the middle of the mission.”The driver said without hesitation, “Okay, Commander! I’ve got it!”The commander nodded and said loudly, “Okay! Get out of the car!”With his command, the tailgate of the cargo box was opened, and the eight assassins dressed in black, holding black guns, and wearing black masks, jumped out of the van silently. They then quickly disappeared into the farmland beside the road as they moved quickly and si
Porter said to Charlie over the headset, “Mr. Wade, can you be sure that the plane flying to Sweden is being sent to pick them up and not to send another group of people to Sweden for another mission? I’m afraid that they might have some other operations in Sweden.”Charlie said, “I overheard their conversation just now. The main reason why they came this time is not to kill but to bring back a target who is important to this organization. So, they must have a safe retreat path, and the plane they came on has already gone back to avoid exposure. Therefore, I speculate that the plane flying to Sweden is coming here to pick them up.”With that said, Charlie said again, “Besides, there is no border control for land transportation between European Union countries. The convenience of driving from country to country is as simple as commuting between two provinces in the country. However, although everyone in the European Union countries and law enforcement agencies serves their respective
Charlie laughed and said, “Chief Merlin and I think the same. I just want to follow this clue now and seize the opportunity to teach them a few more lessons. Once they encounter frequent regimented failures, they will not only doubt life, but they will also lack confidence and restrain themselves for a long time in the future.”As Charlie spoke of this, he had an austere expression, and he said coldly, “Although I haven’t met their so-called British Lord, from 547’s description, it’s not too difficult to analyze this person’s character. This person must be extremely confident and conceited, and he must also rarely encounter defeat because his strength is indeed strong enough. I want this extremely conceited person to be forced to realize an eternal truth, and that is that there are always people who are stronger in this world!” Psychological warfare had always been a point that Charlie attached great importance to. A long time ago, he had flattened the entire Elite Vault Enterpris
At this moment, there was still more than an hour left before dawn.The old man looked at the time and returned to the villa anxiously. He knocked gently outside the door of the study room on the first floor and said respectfully, “Miss.”A very young, even childish girl’s voice came from inside. “Come in.”The old man said respectfully, “Yes, Miss!”He opened the door gently after speaking.Although this villa looked like a western detached house as a whole, the interior was in ancient Oskian style.A young girl with a very beautiful and fragile appearance in the study room was sitting in front of a top-grade Lexington desk. She was reading an ancient yellowing book with fascination.The young girl looked incomparably exquisite, and her facial features were simply faultless. Even her long and curved eyelashes were unbelievably perfect. She was wearing an Oskian-style skirt with embroidery paired with a blouse that was embroidered with auspicious clouds in all directions, whic
Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa
As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh
The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office
On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…
Charlie was driving Jacob to Thompson First when the latter received the text from Matilda.Seeing that they were reaching the front gates, Jacob promptly snapped at Charlie, "Charlie, stop the car now!"Charlie did so and asked in curiosity, "What's wrong?""Matilda just texted me," Jacob replied, showing the chat log between him and Matilda.Charlie was just glancing at it nonchalantly when he saw that Matilda's contact name was 'AAA July Florist'."Wait, why is that Aunt Matilda's contact name?" He exclaimed in surprise."I changed it."Jacob explained gingerly while reading through the text Matilda sent. "Her profile picture is an iris, so I changed her contact name to a florist since I'm mostly worried Elaine would peek into my phone.""Anyway, she's asking if I'm attending her wedding with Yolden. They would send us an invitation if I accept, extended to our whole family… what do you think I should say?"Charlie asked in return. "You're planning to skip it, aren't you? T
Then, Matilda suggested, "How about this—I'll ask him before deciding." "I'll pass on inviting the rest of my former classmates too. They're too vain and love comparing, so I'd rather not have anything to do with that. Also, there are our Korean friends who have it together, and they were telling us to invite them if we were going to get married. We have to keep our promise, right?""Yeah—then, it's basically decided. Aside from Charlie, we shall invite our colleagues and Korean friends while we wait for an answer from Jacob."Yolden nodded and said, "Now, I'll talk about the honeymoon—cut me short if you have a different opinion."Matilda nodded, resting her chin on her hands and smiling. "Shoot. I'm all ears."Feeling a little embarrassed by Matilda's glowing stare, Yolden took a sip of his ice water before continuing, "My idea is to head to the States for our honeymoon after the wedding…"He trailed off, staring at Matilda and waiting for a response.However, she was merely
"Oh, Jacob…?"Matilda chuckled awkwardly. "Just today, he offered to buy me dinner, but I said I didn't have the time, and I also told him about our wedding… So, we should invite him since he's aware of it.""Jacob offered to buy you dinner?" Yolden exclaimed in surprise. "Did he say why?""Nope," Matilda shrugged, smiling. "Probably just dinner between old classmates."However, she was actually smart enough to guess Jacob's intention even though Jacob was inviting her somewhere near campus. That was why she had also mentioned she was marrying Yolden while turning down Jacob, all so that he would give up on her.After she had managed to get over their past fling completely, she didn't want to give Jacob false hopes before she walked down the aisle.In the same regard, she didn't want to worry Yolden, and therefore, had deliberately discouraged Jacob.Be that as it may, Yolden was smart too.He knew about Matilda and Jacob's past and that her son, Paul's full name was Paul Jam
Before Charlie had arrived, Jacob was still furious that Matilda would soon marry Yolden.After Charlie came, however, he was instead worried that Matilda would send him a wedding invitation.Meanwhile, Matilda and Yolden were discussing their list of guests.They had different social circles, but most of their friends were Stateside, and they only had some distant relatives in this country.Still, they had colleagues in Aurous Hill. Matilda had classmates too, but she was out of touch with them aside from Jacob, whom she often met.Still, as they discussed who should be invited, Matilda first suggested, "Let's go through everyone. First, our Stateside friends… I don't think we should tell them at all since it's a long journey, and inviting them would seem tactless. What do you think?"Yolden nodded, smiling, "I was just thinking the same thing. We're close with our Stateside friends and always keep in touch, but inviting them to our wedding might be a stretch. We'd just hit a wa
With that being said, once Matilda was thrown in the mix, Elaine would suddenly become an African honey badger, with every bit of black air force energy that was implied.As such, if Jacob had managed to be brave and take that one step back then, Charlie would have tried to help, stopping Elaine from harassing Jacob or Matilda.However, the reality was that Jacob had to bungle the chance when Matilda offered it to him.That was why the best option was for Jacob to understand that he couldn't get together with Matilda now so that he would feel much better.And since he had always been a coward, Charlie's slight intimidation cleared his head considerably.He then sighed, "Well, that's just life—you don't always get what you want, and you should never try to claim what you couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to choose Matilda over thirty years ago, so not being together now only makes sense.""Now, I can only pray that Elaine never finds out… or at least that things don't get out of h
