Chapter 505

Edgar briefly glanced at the screen before turning his phone off and boarding the plane.

Meanwhile, Edgar had locked Xena up in her hospital room.

Xena pressed against the door, trying to listen to the voices outside.

She could hear George saying, “We’ve contacted our men over there.They will move out once Edgar arrives’ Xena clutched her phone tightly; she didn’t dare make a sound.

Edbert had his back to the door and was looking at the scenery outside.

He seemed unbothered by the situation, “Prepare the news manuscript and contact the board of directors.We have to file a missing person’s report once we get news of my nephew’s disappearance’ Then, I’ll be able to take back Royden Group without even lifting my pinky.

“Yes, Mr.Royden.”

“The initial plan was to go after that brat.But since the b*tch decided to leave on her own accord, I’ll let her live.At least she has more sense than her stubborn father.”

Edbert sneered and glanced at the hospital room behind him.

“Keep an eye on her.”

“Got it,, George nodded and went into the room.There was no time for Xena to hide; she quickly pretended to be asleep in bed.

The door closed, and George whispered menacingly at the woman in the bed, “I warn you.Do not do anything.”

Xena was so nervous she felt her heart was going a mile a minute.She dared not make a sound.It was dark.

Jean was walking by the shore with a bag pack.

After the emergency landing, the flight attendants ushered the passengers away from the crash site.

They walked for a few kilometers but did not see anyone, not even the people of this country.

Their phones had no signal, so they had no idea of their actual location.

All they knew was that they were in an isolated area.

“Hey, it’s getting late.How about we camp here for the night? Please make groups of two or three and stay together.Refrain from going too far since we’re not sure of the danger around here.”

The crew instructed.

Jean looked at her watch; it was at least five hours to sunlight.We can’t sleep in a place like this.

However, she felt weak.

If she did not rest, she would not be able to keep up with the group.

She went to sit under a tree, lit a small fire, and caught two fish from the river.

“What is this? Man Vs.Wild?”

“I bet the crash has been reported on TV.Our family must be so worried! And we have no way to contact them.Family? Jean’s head drooped even more.Ben had told her to contact him when she arrived.She frowned as she looked at the battery on her phone; there wasn’t much left.

As everyone was settling down, they heard someone complain, “I can’t sleep in a place like this.It’s all because you guys used a sh*tty old plane that we’re in this situation.I’ll sue you!”

“Sir, it was out of our hands’ “Is that all you guys are good for? Apologies?”

The group of men stood up with their luggage and walked toward the east.

“Once I get a cab, I’m heading straight to the embassy…Jean watched their slowly disappearing figures and heard a whisper beside her, “It’s so dark.They might run into some animals”

Her heart jumped, and she quickly looked over at the speaker.He looked about twenty years old, but his eyes shone with maturity.He felt Jean’s gaze on him and turned to her.

“Miss, don’t worry.I’m just running my mouth.The world is such a safe place; how can it be?”

He giggled.

Jean hummed at him.

Sometimes, people are scarier than animals.

There was no news of the group of people.

The following morning, the remaining people divided the last bit of food and headed toward the east.

Not even a kilometer away, they chanced upon the bag packs of the group that left the night before.

There was blood on it, and a rotten stench came from that direction.

“Is that a hand?”

Someone screeched.

The crowd scurried backward.

No one had heard any weird sounds or human cries last night.

No matter how tired they were, they couldn’t have just left their personal belongings, right? They must have gotten into some trouble.

“Guys, stay with the group.Let’s keep moving forward.We just need to get to somewhere with signal.If something had happened last night, it’d be best if we did not stay here.Otherwise…”

The crew looked at each other and said, “Okay, let’s keep moving.”

Jean watched as the young man from before walked toward the objects.He seemed to be taking pictures of it, but after that, he pretended as though nothing had happened.He kept walking with the group.

There was another thought in Jean’s mind.

Was the crash really an accident? At the same time, Edgar and Ben arrived at Louisville Airport. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The airport was under lockdown; people could come in but couldn’t leave.

Joseph was sent by Westburgh to investigate the matter, but they couldn’t get any information even after meeting with the local police.

They could only confirm that they hadn’t found any bodies.

“No news is good news.”

Edgar clenched his hands and looked upward at the blue sky.

How can a person be fine after falling from the sky? His heart ached, but he reeded to be strong for Jean.

“Ben, I’m going to rent a car.Let’s start searching around here: “What use are you going to de? Even the police and rescue team couldn’t find them; Ben frowned at him.

“I can’t sit around and do nothing, Edgar said and quickened his pace.I don’t care if this is all for naught.I won’t give up if there is still a glimmer of hope.

“Mr.Royden..”

Joseph said but realized Ben and Edgar were go’e.

“Officer Bunnings, they’ve left.They even left their belongings here.”

An officer told Joseph.

Joseph slapped his forehead, annoyed, “Fine.

Let them do what they want.

Let’s go interview the rescue team: Edgar drove along the shore toward the west.

“How de you know to go this way?”

Ben crinkled his forehead as he looked around him.

It was empty fields before him.

They looked like they were leaving the city.

“It’s been twelve hours since the accident.

Since the rescue team and police can’t find them, one of two poss bilities is they have no signal and are in an uninhabited area. I’ve searched the map, and only one place matches those points; Edgar said calmly while clutching the steering wheel. Ben frowned and asked hesitantly, “What about the other possibility?”
