Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One
Chapter 778 Murder and Betrayal on the Plane—Human Nature Cannot Withstand Temptation (Part 4)
Some sighed with relief, while others couldn’t bear it and covered their ears. Only the little boy started wailing and cried, "Don’t take her in! She’s a human being, don’t hurt her!"
The little boy didn’t want to see such a beautiful sister being treated like an object by the men inside.
The little boy’s crying mixed with the men’s laughter sounded like a grand, intense concerto in a concert hall.
Just as they were escorting Xu Xingguang down the hallway, when passing by her row of seats, Xu Xingguang suddenly stopped walking.
She forcefully swung her arms away, causing the two males escorting her to feel intense pain in their palms, as if an invisible steel needle had pierced through their metacarpal bones, straight into their arm bones.
They screamed and let go, their faces twisted in grim pain.
This change stunned everyone.
The girl sitting next to Xu Xingguang, who had been crying, blinked in surprise upon seeing the scene.
"Little sister." Xu Xingguang glared at the girl’s now dry forehead, her calm tone carrying a hint of coldness: "Earlier, you were scared to death, but now you’re strangely calm?"
The girl was taken aback, not quite understanding Xu Xingguang’s meaning.
"Stirring winds and summoning rain, thunders roaring, such a big fuss." Xu Xingguang found it all a bit dull, and she suddenly sneered, "What benefits did the Eastern Alliance offer you to kill me?"
The young woman who previously showed a frightened expression realized something upon hearing Xu Xingguang’s words, and her expression turned to admiration.
"When did you notice?" She thought she had acted well all along.
Xu Xingguang spoke flatly: "This sudden downpour in Medicine King City could only have been set up by a Wind Ability User with exceptional superpower. From when you left for the restroom to when you returned during the plane’s turbulence, it took a total of 8 minutes."
"When you returned to your seat, the plane had just started shaking, yet you were sweating profusely." Xu Xingguang noted the girl’s forehead with certainty, "You must have exhausted your superpower to create that rain."
The girl’s expression shifted in shock, not expecting Xu Xingguang to have guessed the truth so thoroughly.
The other passengers, upon hearing Xu Xingguang’s words, also felt utterly bewildered.
So the real culprit was among them all along.
Though surprised at having her plan guessed, the girl was even more curious...
"How did you know that the Eastern Alliance was collaborating with us on this mission?" They had received a cooperation notice from a big shot in the Eastern Alliance long ago.
That big shot mentioned Xu Xingguang would be flying from Golden Gate City to Medicine King City on the day of the Medical College admissions in Medicine King City, and they originally planned to act that day.
But Xu Xingguang decided on a whim to head to Medicine King City today.
Members of the Flying Organization wanted to catch Xu Xingguang by surprise.
Now it seemed that Xu Xingguang was even smarter than they had imagined. "Flying Organization members treat civilians like trash, the civilians you wish to eliminate. But besides these civilians, there are several Super Power Users on this plane."
Xu Xingguang looked toward the tightly shut cabin door, where several powerful Super Power Users were seated on the other side.
"So I deduced that your target is only me. And since I have no personal grudges with you, thinking it over, it could only be those bastards from the Eastern Alliance with such a motive."
"Look at me." Xu Xingguang knocked her head in frustration, "I promised to send out the death notice to those beasts in the Eastern Alliance within ten days, but I was too busy with exams and planting medicine that I forgot."
"Thanks to your reminder, now I remember." Xu Xingguang decided that once the plane landed, she would find an opportunity to send out the death notice.
Who told those scumbags to be so impatient as to make a preemptive strike against her.
As the young girl listened to Xu Xingguang’s analysis, her expression grew increasingly solemn. "Xu Xingguang, we didn’t lie to you; the fuel for this flight is indeed running low. If you cooperate and submit, I promise not to kill you, but I will hand you over to the Eastern Alliance."
"If you don’t cooperate." The girl gazed around, seeing the desperate looks in the passengers’ eyes, she smiled playfully and asked Xu Xingguang, "Are you planning to let all these passengers die with you?"
In response, Xu Xingguang displayed an unfathomable expression, "Why do you think that a group of complete strangers could be used as a bargaining chip to threaten me?"
Confidently, the girl laughed, "Because we’ve been quietly observing you and understand your past. You even grew fond of Wuyuan Town after only three months of residence, were willing to help the Jin siblings who once offended you, and you traveled far to the Divine Martial Realm seeking a chance to save those trash from the Mortal World."
"You’re a good person."
"Heh." Xu Xingguang couldn’t help but chuckle.
"You’re wrong." Xu Xingguang looked at the strangers in the passenger cabin with no emotion, apparently unmoved by their desperate gazes.
"I’m kind, but not excessively. If you think that threatening me with civilians will make me submit, then..."
Xu Xingguang suddenly brought her fingers together and summoned the Starlight Sword. With a swift motion, the three or four young men and women dragging her to the cockpit were decapitated and fell to the ground.
One of them even had their blood spraying out from their neck, splattering onto the young girl’s fair face.
The girl froze momentarily, and upon returning to her senses, screams erupted in the passenger cabin.
Holding the blood-dripping Starlight Sword with a cold expression, Xu Xingguang’s clear voice echoed throughout the cabin: "The solution to a threat is to eliminate all threats preemptively; I don’t mind killing all the civilians. After all, they’re strangers who just agreed to send me as a slave for your people."
She couldn’t allow herself to submit for the sake of such indifferent and selfish strangers.
They were innocent, but there were still more innocent children and compatriots in the Mortal World waiting for her protection.
The girl realized Xu Xingguang was the type who couldn’t be threatened, and she understood their mission might fail today. Her expression darkened, and she instinctively attempted to attack Xu Xingguang, but Xu Xingguang was faster.
Just as the girl began to reach out, the Starlight Sword already pierced her chest.
Swiftly withdrawing her sword, Xu Xingguang turned and opened the cabin door, stepping inside as it closed behind her.
In the first-class cabin, there were eight distinguished passengers.
As soon as Xu Xingguang entered, three or four ill-tempered Super Power Users stood up; they were also members of the Flying Organization.
Noticing the sudden change, the remaining five Super Power Users exchanged glances, considering whether to assist Xu Xingguang.
At that moment, a bald woman with a demon tattooed on her chest from the Flying Organization coldly shouted, "This woman is trash from the Mortal World; she’s offended the Eastern Alliance. Our goal is to take her away. We won’t harm you nor are we interested in harming those civilians."
"I ask for your cooperation."
A woman from the Mortal World?
Knowing that Xu Xingguang was just an insignificant little nobody from the Mortal World, the Super Power Users decided to stay out of it.
