Chapter 647: Chapter 647: Flying to the Land of the Sunrise
“Where is she going and why…?” Chen Ke couldn’t help but be astonished.
“Sunrise and the United Federation have a close collaborative relationship, many Spiritual Businesses have branches in Sunrise, and in Capital City’s Shenshi Town, it’s a mishmash of power with four financial conglorates ruling it. Both overtly and covertly they vie for dominance; it’s indeed the best place to hide soone,” Li Moyang explained.
“It looks like I’ll have to take a trip to Sunrise…” Without a second thought, Chen Ke declared imdiately.
“I knew you would say that. I’ve already made arrangents for you. You’ll take my private jet. Under the guise of a regional director for Wuan Heavy Industry in Sunrise, you’ll be going on a long trip. I have also arranged for soone to et you there. Customs won’t give you any trouble,” Li Moyang said.
“Will I need to use an alias?” Chen Ke asked.
“The passport will be under an alias, but the contact there knows who you are,” Li Moyang replied.
“When do we set off?” Chen Ke inquired.
“Anyti, just let know once you are ready,” Li Moyang said.
“Then let’s make it tonight,” Chen Ke decided.
“Are they going as well?” Li Moyang glanced at the other side of the wall.
“They’ll stay here. I’ll talk to them later. I’ll go alone this ti,” Chen Ke shook his head.
When Chen Ke was away, Diana would stay close to Li Moyang to provide protection, Parker and Diana could coordinate, and Lucina needed to rest.
“I understand… By the way, Chen Ke… If you do find Sleery, what will you do with her?” Li Moyang asked cautiously.
“Do I even need to think about it? I’m going to bring her back,” Chen Ke replied.
Li Moyang smiled, looking as if he had been relieved of a burden.
“I’m not that heartless,” Chen Ke remarked.
“Miss Sleery just suffered a huge blow. I think she must regret it now, but doesn’t know how to face us,” Li Moyang comnted.
“I know, and I really need her…” Chen Ke nodded his head.
Chen Ke’s second green Holy Diamond was just waiting for Sleery to bless it.
“But we also have to prepare for the worst,” Chen Ke abruptly changed the subject.
“I understand, it’s a tough decision,” Li Moyang agreed, acknowledging that the world doesn’t change at the whim of people, sotis you just have to let nature take its course.
Chen Ke was not so extre; if Sleery’s attitude remained unchanged, he’d just lock her up in the Illusion Dream Center.
The Illusion Creation Witch’s ability was extrely dangerous; even if he couldn’t convince Sleery to help him, he couldn’t let her stay in this world to beco another Fujiwara Makoto.
After bidding farewell to Li Moyang, Chen Ke returned to the villa on the other side, gathering everyone in the living room for a team eting.
It was called a eting, but it was really just a circle of friends chatting. None of them was suited to be the team leader. Both Chen Ke and Diana preferred to work alone; Lucina was impulsive and irritable, while Parker appeared indifferent to desires.
But now, they were all together simply because they had no place in this world. So, when they heard the news about Sleery, without a second thought, they all suggested Chen Ke bring her back because Sleery’s situation was no different from theirs.
“Are you sure you want to go alone?” Diana asked.
“Li Moyang will need looking after here. Last ti, back in 1888, you helped a lot. This ti I want to handle this myself,” Chen Ke said.
“I heard the won in Sunrise are very popular, you know what I an…” Lucina said.
“They’re not my type,” Chen Ke chuckled, lightly patting Lucina on the shoulder.
“I’d like to help, but I don’t speak Japanese…” Parker said.
“You just stay here and play Euchre, and if anything happens, rember to help Diana,” Chen Ke said.
“When do we leave?” Lucina asked.
“We’ll take off in Li Moyang’s private jet this afternoon. I will get to the bottom of this as fast as I can and bring her back,” Chen Ke promised.
At this mont, the doorbell rang, and a buzz-cut Fei Huang person, flanked by two bodyguards, walked in.
“Mr. Chen, the plane is all set, and the car is waiting for you outside,” the buzz-cut man said.
Chen Ke nodded, stood up, and straightened his tie.
“Make sure you teach her a lesson,” Lucina said.
“But don’t make her cry,” Diana added.
Chen Ke smiled and said, “I have my ways. You just look after Li Moyang here; I don’t want to co back and find him dead on the floor.”
After saying goodbye to his friends, Chen Ke followed the buzz-cut man to the black sedan, which drove to Lescott Spirit Production; there, he took a helicopter from the rooftop to the nearby Opportunity City Airport.
When they arrived at the airport, Li Moyang’s small jet was waiting on a private runway. They had secured temporary rights for takeoff and landing, and they had to depart before 9 p.m.
“I’ll leave you here. After sunrise, a Miss Shen will et you. Mr. Chen, have a safe trip,” the buzz-cut man said, slightly bowing beside the car.
Chen Ke wasn’t quite used to being addressed with such respect and felt sowhat uncomfortable. He waved his hand and said, “Just be natural.”
The small jet’s capacity was eight, including the crew. Li Moyang was no playboy and had no strange quirks, so the onboard staff were all quite normal. Chen Ke took his seat on the jet, and an agent-looking woman gave him a briefcase, which, upon opening, he found filled with various forged docunts and senior managent credentials for Wuan Heavy Industry.
“So, now I’m an executive at Wuan Heavy Industry?” Chen Ke said sarcastically. He stuffed the docunts back into the briefcase, tossed it onto the table, and then took a look at the airplane’s interior, which was very understated but also luxurious. In plain terms, it was affluently modest with substance.
The aircraft’s body ran smoothly, and the female agent, sitting diagonally opposite Chen Ke, reminded him to fasten his seatbelt.
He did as instructed and felt the plane slowly take to the skies. Looking out the window, he could see the wing of the plane and the airport growing smaller below.
The western sun, red as blood, was sinking below the clouds. As they ascended and night fell, the sky turned a deep shade of blue, with only a faint yellow glow left on the ground. The city had beco an abstract pattern of tiny sparks and the fringe of streets below, and at this mont, Chen Ke fell into a dream-like trance.
Opportunity City turned into a large cluster of lights beneath the clouds, and soon the earth vanished from sight, leaving only the deep blue of the night sky and the grey clouds.
“You may unbuckle your seatbelt now,” said the female agent.
Her hair was short and black, her face plain but exuding a sense of efficiency. Chen Ke wanted to ask her na, but after so thought, he decided against it.
“Are you here to protect ?” Chen Ke asked.
“No,” the agent replied bluntly.
“Then what?” Chen Ke inquired.
“I’m protecting the aircraft,” the agent answered.
What a humorless woman, Chen Ke sighed. However, he wasn’t soone who needed to chat to stay occupied, so he turned his gaze back to the window.
In that land of the rising sun, what strange encounters awaited him?
