"Of course."
Karen asked Betty to find a place to touchdown. There was an empty and desolate road below them.
The coast was clear.
The plane landed slowly.
Brooke breathed a sigh of relief. Was Karen stupid? Did she really trust him? How could she just let them go like this?
Soon, the door to the plane opened.
"Go ahead, you can leave now," Karen said.
"Grandpa, let's leave quickly!" The crying girl, Stacy, immediately said to Brooke.
She didn't want to stay here anymore. She was scared.
"Fine, go help Loomis up," Brooke instructed.
Loomis had just been wrangled by Karen and thrown across the aisle, so he was completely knocked out. She was pretty strong, so there was no way he could wake up so easily.
By the looks of it, he would be bedridden for at least another seven to eight days.
Stacy helped Loomis up and turned to her grandfather, rushing him, "Grandpa, let's get out of here immediately!"
"Alright," Brooke hesitated for a few seconds before looking back at Karen.
Unexpectedly, he found that Karen looked very calm. He frowned, "Karen Lee, what the hell are you planning?"
He had a bad feeling. Karen seemed like a fool, but for a fool to be able to survive until today and even fare pretty well against the Yeager family would require more than luck. He admitted that she had some skills, so she wouldn't be making such a mistake here, right?
If she let him go like this, he would be able to crush Karen easily once he got back.
This was undoubtedly a wrong move on her part.
He knew that something was amiss.
After all, he was the master of the hidden Yeager family. No matter how arrogant he was, he had developed quite an accurate sixth sense. Now, it was tugging at him, telling him that things weren't as simple as it seemed.
"The hidden family is indeed really powerful, but I'm not weak either," Karen replied. Her voice was inexplicably calm.
"Hmph! Let's see what you're capable of! Let's go!" Brooke stormed off in anger.
Stacy who supported Loomis did not dare to stay for another second. She was almost about to burst out crying.
She was the first to run away from Karen and her companions.
A while later, the plane took off again.
The strong wind from the propellers of the airplane threatened to blow the trio away.
"Get someone over here!" Brooke stared at the flying plane.
"Yes, grandpa."
Stacy immediately contacted her family, "Hel-hello? It's me... Stacy! Grandpa and I are over here, send a plane over to pick us up immediately!"
The rest of the Yeager family was dumbfounded. What?!
Brooke and the other two family members had been released? They had just come up with a plan!
How could they already have been released now? What a pleasant surprise!
Everyone looked at each other sheepishly.
"I know! Karen must have been afraid, so she quickly let grandpa and the others go!"
"It must be so. Karen Lee is such a coward. Hmph, do you think that we, the Yeager family, will give up as long as you let grandpa go?"
"Let's not talk about it for now. Send someone to pick up grandpa."
"On it!"
They had their fair share of laughs before sending a plane over to pick them up immediately.
Meanwhile.
"Grandpa, I want Chuck Cannon and Karen Lee dead!" Stacy said ominously.
Chuck's slaps from a while ago had caused her cheeks to swell. She was the daughter of the Yeager family. When had she ever been tortured like this?
She wanted Chuck dead, now!
Brooke stared coldly into the distance, not saying a word. The nagging feeling in his mind told him that something really was amiss!
How could Karen commit such a silly mistake?
"Grandpa! Just say something, I want to kill them!" Stacy whined.
"Hold on. Something is wrong," Brooke shook his head.
There was a sort of uneasiness brewing in his heart.
It was an inexplicable feeling that could not be explained nor expressed.
"Cough!" He suddenly found it hard to breathe. He started to cough, as if he was suffering from asthma. He squatted down as he tried hard to breathe.
