Chapter 623 Want to Advance, Need to Add Money, Do Not Accept Checks

A certain dog grinned and twisted his head, looking at the scenery outside the car.

Luke then dialed Selena's number and told her the general situation.

Selena: "No problem, I'll handle everything here for you, just be careful yourself."

Luke: "The gold nugget is with me, you..."

Selena didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, that guy is very powerful, as long as he can help you."

Luke just hummed and hung up the phone.

Between him and Selena, there was no need to say thank you for such a thing.

In less than 20 minutes, he arrived at a private airport in the suburbs. Luke, who had disguised his appearance and posture, just called Ginny's name, and was greeted by the flight attendant on standby.

Luke was not in the mood for this beautiful empty passenger suit, so he simply said thank you, and then said, "It's time to take off, I'm in a hurry."

There is no nonsense about the flight attendant. There are not many people who are not in a hurry for such an emergency flight at night.

Although Luke is not her employer, her employer is powerful and powerful, and those who can borrow this plane are not ordinary people.

Luke got on the plane, took out his notebook and checked the information.

Of course Luke knew about Robert and Catherine's travel plan, but he didn't study it carefully. When he took it out and found the location of the cruise ship, he frowned.

This is a cruise ship from New York to Europe, and it is now in the same location as Robert said, not anywhere.

Cruise ships are hundreds of kilometers from the nearest land, and New York used to be close to a thousand kilometers.

If you contact the situation mentioned by Robert again, the group of people is likely to come prepared, and Luke feels that the situation is worrying.

Just call the police or something.

In such a major case of kidnapping thousands of people on a cruise ship, the police's first choice is to negotiate with the robbers.

When a professional team is actually dispatched to carry out the rescue operation by force, it is likely to be more than ten hours later.

The number of tourists killed in the rescue operation is only a matter of numbers for the police.

As long as no important person dies,

That is it doesn't matter who the victims are.

And Luke just wants to ensure the safety of Robert and Catherine. The safety of other tourists is not a problem he can solve, and he can't take care of thousands of tourists.

The business plane went all the way east, and Luke checked the information from Robert from the satellite phone from time to time.

The situation is neither good nor bad.

The gangsters on the cruise seemed to have a clear goal. Instead of killing the tourists, they gathered them in batches and locations, as if they were looking for someone.

But as tourists were driven to several places of detention, Robert and Catherine's leeway was dwindling.

The number of these gangsters has exceeded 200, the division of labor is clear, and the plans are meticulous and professional.

They deployed layer by layer on the cruise ship to clean up and clear the tourists out.

Robert didn't dare to mess with it at all.

These gangsters all have walkie-talkies, and they operate in groups, reporting security regularly.

If he moves one, he will be found in less than ten minutes, and then a group of gangsters will be searched.

At the same time, the main points of the cruise were also blocked by bandits.

If Robert is alone, this blockade is equivalent to nothing.

But with Katherine, he wasn't sure to hide back where the bandits had cleaned up.

Fortunately, the cruise ship is large, the gangsters are not impatient, and the carpet search operation is also time-consuming.

Luke counted the time silently in his heart, still a little anxious.

In the best case, he arrives first.

That way he had absolute certainty and ensured Catherine's safety.

There is no need to worry about Robert's safety, and this guy is not an ordinary person.

Therefore, in the worst case, Robert and Catherine are also found out. Luke only hopes that Robert will not be impulsive at that time.

But only three hours after the commercial plane flew, Robert came out with bad news: the police had already received the news that the cruise ship had been hijacked.

Apparently, Robert was not alone on the cruise with a satellite phone.

This made the gangster's actions impatient, and the methods were much rougher, and the first unlucky person to be shot appeared.

It was a policeman who was traveling with his wife. When his wife was pushed and shoved by the bandits, he was agitated for a while and had a fight with the bandits. Some of the bandits fired.

Luke's brows furrowed.

He was afraid of this situation.

Bandits in a relaxed state will be less vigilant about the outside world, and their actions will not be too impatient in an environment like a cruise ship.

But with the threat of the police, it is bound to cause a chain reaction.

And the bandits have already shot and wounded people, so naturally they don't care about shooting and wounding the next resister.

Finally, in the early hours of New York, Luke hurriedly got off the business jet, turned around and boarded another small plane at the private airport.

The pilot is a bearded man. He just started the plane after hearing Luke report an order number and the coordinates of the destination.

The pilot didn't care what the client, who was so dark and couldn't even see his face, went to the depths of the sea in the middle of the night.

Who made this client pay ten times the price of the usual task?

For the windfall, the pilot doesn't mind taking a small risk.

He is also not a law-abiding citizen. This plane has also been modified privately. It is absolutely illegal to use it to solicit customers, but it flies faster and farther than ordinary small planes.

The flight of nearly 2,000 kilometers back and forth is not something that a normal small plane can complete, and the guest will parachute halfway, which is extremely rare.

But what about that? Anyway, people give money.

In the vast night, the small plane climbed quickly, leaving the brightly lit New York metropolis behind.

Luke glanced at the guy's speed and asked, "How many hours will it take to reach the destination?"

Beard: "Within three hours."

Luke looked at the table again, and it was ten minutes past twelve.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "How long will it take to arrive as soon as it does not affect safety?"

He thought that the small plane could fly at the speed of a rocket, but he was afraid that it would disintegrate in the air and fall freely.

Beard was silent for a moment: "If you want to advance, you need to add money."

Luke: "Yes."

Bearded: "I can guarantee to arrive within two and a half hours. How much can you add?"

Luke: "200,000."

The bearded man turned his head and glanced at him: "I don't accept checks."

Luke dug a few times in his backpack, pulled out a black bag, and threw it next to the bearded man: "The timer starts, and you didn't arrive at the scheduled location at 2:40. You won't get a cent of the money."

The bearded man didn't care at all, he just stretched out his hand, quickly checked two stacks of banknotes, and then stuffed the bag into a space under the seat: "As long as you have money."

After speaking, he pressed his hand on the instrument panel a few times, and the speed of the small plane suddenly increased.

Luke completely understands the behavior of the bearded pilot.

If you are not someone who wants money, why would you dare to pick up private work in the middle of the night and fly directly overseas for a thousand kilometers.

It's not someone who comes for money, why can't even the customer turn a blind eye when they want to parachute halfway.
