The Innocent Wife of Scheming President

Chapter 445: The Truth, Good, and Beauty of Human Nature

Alan chuckled again. Confidence was a good thing, but conceit was often bad. He suddenly raised his voice and said to the three bodyguards in the fight, “Five more minutes. If you can’t beat them, you’ll lose this month’s bonus.”

“Yes,” the vigorous baritone sounded neatly in the cabin, as if rising the morale.

Among the passengers, someone suddenly yelled, “You men who have guts follow me and the warriors. Kill these wicked bastards. Otherwise, if the plane is hijacked, we can’t live even if we want to. They will take us as hostages, or even kill us.”

Passengers who were cowering suddenly awakened by this yell. There were many dangers anyway. If you didn’t fight, you were awaiting for doom. If you fought together, you might still have a glimmer of life. There were wives and children waiting at home. You couldn’t be a coward.

One after another, someone jumped out to join the battle, smashing the gangster with everything that could be used as a weapon. They hesitated at the weapons on the gangster and didn’t dare to get too close.

But a clever young man took advantage of a gangster in front of him turning around and slashing at the bodyguard. He hugged the gangster from behind and restricted his movement. The bodyguard who dealt with him immediately took the chance to give him a fatal blow. The sharp weapon in his hand fell to the ground.

Without the threat of the knife, another person rushed over and held him to the ground together.

“Tie his hands with a belt,” someone shouted.

Someone immediately took off the belt on his trousers, “Here, it’s made of genuine leather and isn’t easy to break.”

“I have one too. Tie his feet. Don’t give him a chance to resist.”

Although this method was indigenous, it was also practical. The gangster’s hands were quickly tied up behind him, together with his feet. His body was tied into a triangle, making him unable to free himself, and was thrown aside.

One was subdued here, which invisibly encouraged the passengers. Even the woman, who was shivering with fright and only knew how to cry, took advantage of the fact that another gangster didn’t pay attention when he was fighting with the bodyguard. So, she quickly picked her metal chain bag and swung it into his face.

The metal chain on the bag hit the gangster’s eyes. It irritated and angered him. He aimed the knife at her, “You, bitch. Die.”

The woman was so scared that she held her head and screamed, thinking it was over for her.

After a while, she discovered that the expected pain never came at all. Instead, she heard the gangster’s howl in pain.

She opened her eyes and raised her head, looking at the gangster’s bloody face and he was covering his ear. The knife that should have been for her had mysteriously cut off the gangster’s ear by the bodyguard, when the knife was clearly still in the gangster’s hand.

After the gangster’s ear was chopped off, it fell on the lap of a person next to him. That person only smelled a strong smell of blood, and he screamed like a trumpet, then fainted.

The woman stared at the bodyguard with an admiring gaze, who said coolly, “Useless.”

He turned around and grabbed the knife from the gangster, then kicked him to the ground hard. Someone immediately tied him up.

“Hey, handsome. That’s impressive.” The woman had forgotten her danger at once and her heart was beating.

But the bodyguard ignored her. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

When the last gangster was subdued, Gerald’s face already looked ugly.

Alan smiled, “You don’t expect this result, do you?”

Gerald listened to their groans and couldn’t help cursing, “Bunch of rubbish!”

“Actually, your people’s skills are good,” Alan didn’t hesitate to praise. “But, don’t underestimate the power of a masses. Although they aren’t professionally trained, their unity shouldn’t be looked down upon.”

Gerald snorted coldly, “So what? Alan Hoyle, don’t forget. Inside the pilot now are all my people. In ten minutes, the plane will land in a place you don’t expect. That place is an inescapable net which is waiting for you. Do you think these small fries can ward off the tight guards at the isolated island for you and let you pass through the vast sea?”

As soon as he was finished, something that was the same as a heavyweight bomb exploded on the plane. Someone immediately exclaimed, “Is the plane really hijacked?”

“God. This is my first time getting on a place, how come I encounter such bad luck?”

“Was our fight a futile just now? I even got a few knife’s slashes.”

“I have parents and children to care for, I don’t want to die.”

“What to do?”

The bound gangster lying on the ground caught the passengers’ panic, ignoring the foot on his back, he snorted loudly. “Are you guys afraid now? Let me tell you. When the place touches the ground, our brothers will rush in and all of you can’t run. Whoever kicked me just now, it’s better to be honest with me. Maybe I can consider giving you less torture later.”

Another gangster said, “Death is by the door and you guys still stand at the wrong side. You guys deserve it.”

Then there was the third and fourth gangster who chimed in.

“Hurry up and let us go, then maybe you guys can still keep your corpses.”

“If you don’t, when the plane lands, I’ll call our brothers to treat you guys well. Men will be skinned and the women will be raped and killed!”

How could bodyguards from Special Forces could be bluffed so easily? One of them stepped on the gangster’s arm, only to hear a scream accompanied by a cracking sound.

The gangster’s whole body convulsed in pain. He gritted his teeth and said, “You have guts. When the plane lands, I’ll deal with you first.”

“That is if you have the chance,” the bodyguard warned him. “Don’t stir up trouble.”

“It’ll be clear later whether we’re stirring up trouble, or you guys are pulling people to be buried.” The gangster was being very insolent.

The restlessness spread through the crowd.

“What should we do?”

“It turns out we’re just scapegoats.”

Someone began to question Alan, “This is because of you. Fine that you usually earn illegal money. Now that you’ve offended someone, why do we need to suffer for you?”

“Yeah. You guys have personal grudges, so why are you here harming us ordinary people too?”

“If I die, I won’t let you go even if I become a ghost.”

“We can’t live anymore anyway, how about we kill them all together?”

The scolding grew. Some people even picked up cups and food, throwing them at Alan and the bodyguards. The situation was on the verge of losing control.

When people were in panic, it was the easiest for them to lose rationality and tenacity. When hope was shattered, it was obviously a luxury to ask them to calm down.

Gerald put his lips close to Alan’s ears and laughed cheekily, “Didn’t you say that the power of a unite mass shouldn’t be looked down upon? This power of mass backlash shouldn’t be looked down upon.”

Alan looked at all this coldly with a smile on the corners of his mouth, “So what? Do you think that with your men incite them, you can win this? It’s much too early to conclude.”

Gerald smiled, “I just want to remind President Hoyle. Look at these ugly faces. Human nature can’t stand the test. Everyone is selfish. In the face of danger, they only think about themselves how to survive.”

Alan simply said, “It seems that Mr. Wood has ever been hurt in this aspect before, so you have such deep feeling. I heard that you used to be just an ordinary martial arts instructor. But after being betrayed by your girlfriend, you’ve changed a lot.”

Gerald’s face became unsightly, “It seems like you know quite a lot about me. You can even dig out my old past.”

Alan was still in his calm state, “Know yourself, know your enemy,”

“So what if you know? You still have fallen into our hands,” Gerald sneered. “But you should be thankful that they are so many people want to bury you.”

“Hurry up and untie us. Maybe we can consider letting you live,” the gangster yelled aggressively.

Someone began to waver, looking left and right, then he quietly put his hand on the belt that tied one of the gangsters, preparing to unknot it.

The woman in white who swung her bag at the gangster had sharp eyesight. She pushed the man away, “You’re crazy. May not free him.”

That man said, “We’ll end up worse if we don’t let them go.”

“Drew Martin, it’s not shameful to be greedy for life and fear of death. I’m also afraid, terribly. But think with your head, okay? If you let them go, wouldn’t it be the same with letting a tiger go? Since the bodyguards and we have subdued these people together, why giving up hope so fast? As long as we all work together, it’s equally possible to defeat the gangster in the pilot.”

This woman in white had to know this man for being able to call that man’s name. Her words made those who wavered began to hesitate again.

Drew’s face was pale, “You’re the crazy one, Tiana. There’s only a few minutes left. Can we beat them?”

The woman in white said, “How can you know if you haven’t tried? Don’t you see that there are several powerful people here?”

Drew said, “Tiana, don’t be naïve. We’re in the sky, not land. So what if you subdue those people? Who will fly the plane? If no one flies the plane, we’ll just fall to pieces and no one can live. If we beg them, there may be a glimmer of hope.”

The white-clothed woman yanked away Drew’s hand. “Enough. If you want to beg, then beg by yourself. Not only you’re greedy and a coward, but you also have none a bit of backbone. You’re not even a man. Do you think these crazy bastards will let you know where their lair is and let you go? Stop daydreaming. If you’re afraid of death, then be a coward by yourself. Don’t create a bigger panic here and waste the bodyguards’ time. You beautiful women, do you think that keeping silent will stop these people’s bestial behavior? And you men who usually brag about protecting your women, you guys don’t even dare to come out. You all are actually cowards. Are you guys willing to see your beloved woman being bullied by these bad guys?”

The bodyguard standing next to her gave Drew a look of disdain, “You’re a man who isn’t as good as this woman. You embarrassed men.”

Those men who wavered earlier had gone red.

Some people recovered and calmly asked, “Then what are you going to do?”
