Chapter 606 Flight and Gold Nugget’s Landing
Luke appreciated people like this who did things for money. After all, he was rich.
The entire journey was silent
The bearded pilot focused on flying without saying anything or even looking back. However, he would subconsciously kick the bag of money every now and then cheerfully.
He had earned half a million from this one flight!
There was only one thing he could say: Please contact again for work next ti.
Driven by money, the bearded pilot finally said at 2:22 am, “We’re only ten minutes away. Be prepared to jump.” Luke humd in acknowledgent and put on a parachute nearby.
Five minutes later, the bearded pilot reminded him, “We’re above the coordinates now.” Luke put his fake phone away and said, “The money is yours.” With that, he got up and was about to open the cabin door.
The bearded pilot: “Wait.”
The next mont, he held out a card between his fingers. “This is my card. Call if you need this sort of service again.”
Luke accepted the card. “I will, but I hate talkative people the most, understand?”
The bearded man smiled without saying a word.
He wouldn’t even have bothered to talk to Luke if it wasn’t about the money. How could he have loose lips?
Luke opened the cabin door with one hand, and carrying Dollar, who was wearing goggles, he jumped out.
The bearded pilot finally loosened his grip on the gun he had been holding behind his back. He went to the back and closed the door.
Quickly turning the plane around, the bearded man set the plane on autopilot and sighed with relief. “Damn, I thought he was going to kill when he said that.”
Mumbling to himself, he took out the bag of cash from the cockpit and examined it for a mont with a device. He smacked his lips. “It’s all real, no fakes? This guy... is pretty trustworthy.”
Having been in this business for a long ti, he had t many clients who would slip in a couple of hundred in counterfeits when they paid.
Who knew whether it was deliberate, or if they couldn’t tell that the bills were fake at all.
He couldn’t demand compensation just for several hundred dollars.
Now, there was a client who had paid him two hundred thousand dollars, all of it genuine, which was worth cherishing. What a decent client! he sighed to himself as he stroked the cash.
Several seconds after Luke jumped out of the plane, he stored the parachute in his inventory and put on a triangular item on his back. Dollar, who was secured to his chest, looked around curiously.
Looking at the rapidly dropping altitude on his watch, Luke pressed a button on his right fist.
In the next mont, the triangular object on his back unfolded into two black enormous wings.
Luke’s body abruptly halted in its fall, which then turned into a glide as he beca a shadow swooping toward his objective on the ocean in the night.
This was an experintal project, inspired by a certain wealthy guy.
However, that wealthy guy’s cape, designed to look like bat wings, was also ant to look cool.
Luke’s wings were only for practical purposes, and had an economical shape with no frills. Fine, it wasn’t that he didn’t want them to look fancy, but he didn’t have Batman’s money or that much ti to waste on design.
Besides, it wasn’t exactly a cape, but more like a flying suit combined with a hang glider.
Luke didn’t invent this for sightseeing in the air. Naturally, the faster it was, the better.
Thus, its advantage was that it was much faster than a regular wing glider. Luke could even land without a parachute.
Its shortcoming was that it was very hard to operate. Only soone with extraordinary Dexterity as well as Physical Outburst and Quick Reflex could smoothly steer it and land safely.
Wearing the triangular wings, Luke moved fast in the night as he flew right for the only source of light on the dark ocean — the Atlantic cruise liner.
As they swiftly approached the ship, Gold Nugget suddenly said, “You’re not going to crash directly into it, right?”
Luke: “I’m a human being, not a rocket landing pad.”
Gold Nugget: “Do you need my help?” Luke thought quickly, then agreed. “Okay. I’ll slow down when we’re right above the ship. Rember, our landing can’t be noisy.”
Gold Nugget: “No problem. I’ll take care of it.”
Isn’t this task worth at least five hundred dollars? the dog thought to itself.
Luke approached the top of the ship at more than a hundred kph. When they were at a suitable distance, he straightened his body and perford a cobra maneuver.
At the sa ti, he pressed another button, and the triangular wings unfolded for a second ti and turned into a parachute.
Gold Nugget reacted quickly. The mont Luke slowed down, it shot out two thick golden tentacles.
When the tentacles reached the ship, they spread out like a spider web and covered the top of the ship, evenly dispersing Luke’s impact on the surface. At the sa ti, what looked like a tray ford on Gold Nugget’s back to support Luke’s body.
Luke pressed a button on his wrist, and the triangular wings quickly folded back into their original state. He landed without a sound.
Putting the triangular wings into the inventory, he couldn’t help but smile as he rubbed the dog’s head.
This dog head’s ability was really useful. It was the perfect support.
As if sensing the rare fondness from Luke, Gold Nugget pushed its head into his hand but didn’t make a sound.
It was here to make money today, and wouldn’t give Luke any excuse to deduct its pay.
As he smiled and rubbed the dog’s head, Luke took out his fake phone and switched it to map mode. He imdiately found Robert’s location.
He sent Robert a short ssage. “Are you okay?”
When he read Robert’s instant reply, he chuckled.
There was only one sentence on the screen. “I’m going to surrender if your reinforcents still aren’t coming.”
Luke could totally imagine how frustrated Robert was when he sent that.
“They’re coming.” He gave a brief reply, then began to run.
At the sa ti, he said to the dog in his arms in a low voice, “Help land like you did just now.”
He had to admit that landing with Gold Nugget as a buffer was simple, convenient and quiet.
Gold Nugget quickly nodded its head to show that it wasn’t a problem, while secretly adding another five hundred dollars to Luke’s tab.
Thanks to Gold Nugget’s help with landing, Luke reached the top floor not far away in just a few leaps. He gestured at Gold Nugget with both hands, and the dog nodded in reply.
He sent the ssage “Open the door in ten seconds” to Robert. Then, he raised three fingers in front of the dog and put them down one by one.
The mont all three fingers were down, he leaped nimbly from the top floor and fell swiftly through the air.
