Chapter - 1041

Lacey's heart pounded hard at Lennon's words.

Lennon sure is a beast! He wants to dig out Zeke's heart?

Is he even human?

Lacey was all crouched up in a corner, and Lennon had sensed her worry for Zach. He teased her, “Lacey, are you worried for Zeke's life? I will give you one chance 1o save him. If you agree to be a tester for the Sullivan family's drugs and poisons, I will spare Zach's life. What do you think of this offer?”

Lacey was tempted.

She only had to suffer for a bit to save Zeke's life, so why shouldn't she?

If a fight were to take pIace, Zeke wouldn't be able to win against the Sullivans, right?

As Lacey was caught in contemplation, there was a deafening buzz coming from outside the aircraft.

From the sound of it, it was heading towards them.

What's that sound?

The three of them looked out of the window.

What came into their sight was a horde of over fifty fighter-jets arranged into a triangular formation. It was speeding towards them.

It was truly a magnificent sight.

All three of them were completely stupefied.

Even Lennon, who was from a background of power and influence, was at a loss for words.

He had never seen a troop as big as this.

What happened next plunged the three of them into greater stupefaction.

After catching up with their aircraft, all of the fighter-jets slowed down, aligning themselves with the private jet.

They were everywhere; in front, behind, to the left and the right. They had surrounded the private jet in all directions.

The hope in Lacey's eyes rekindled.

Are these fighter-jets sent by Zeke to save me?

It isn't possible, right?

How could Zeke have the power to control over fifty fighter-jets?

“Great Marshal, we've noticed a lady near the left-wing of the private jet. She resembles Ms. Lacey Hinton.” A pilot sent a message to Zeke at the other end through the wireless communication channel.

Zeke gave them an order, “Step aside. I want to confirm it myself.”

“Understood.”

Zeke flew his jet to the left side of the private jet and looked out its window.

With just one glance, he had recognized Lacey's face.

Lacey was sorrowful, and she had dried tears on her cheeks. It hurt Zeke to see her like that.

Lacey, please forgive me. It's all my fault that you are suffering.

Lacey noticed Zeke in the fighter jet that was hovering outside. She was taken aback before tears rolled down her fair cheeks.

Zeke!

Zeke has actually come to my rescue! Wow, I didn't know he can fly a jet!

Is there anything he can't do?

Wait, this isn't the point.

The point now is, Zeke has come all the way to save me on a fighter jet!

She had just wanted to shout for help when Zeke made a hand sign for her to remain silent.

They were high among the clouds. If any fights broke out, Lacey's life would be at risk.

Also, if Sullivan were to realize the fighter jets outside were Zeke's, he might do something to Lacey.

Thus, the best option they had now is to snoop around and not let Sullivan learn about Zeke's presence.

Lacey was smart, so she could immediately understand Zeke's intentions.

She calmed herself down to prevent Lennon and Zach from picking up anything from her.

Through the wireless channel, Zeke got hold of the other fighter jets.

“The target is safe, I repeat. The target is safe. Everyone is to stay on course.”

The leading pilot of the fighter jet sent a message to Lennon's private jet through the wireless broadcasting system.

“Aircraft 8798, aircraft 8798. Please respond if this message has reached you.”

Lennon responded in a hurry, “Aircraft 8798 received. What's your identity, and what's your purpose?”

The leading pilot replied, “We noticed your current flight is not registered with the air traffic control center and is therefore illegal. Please land your jet immediately. You are to accept the legal consequences for your current flight. I repeat, please land your aircraft at the nearest airport.”
