Chapter 556: Chapter 491: The Humorous Airship Heist (Part 2)

Of course, not having received any information about the location of the Crolock Kingdom palace, Leon couldn’t help but curl his lips in resignation.

Then, too lazy to explain to a hijacker that the palace of the Crolock Kingdom was actually mobile, he straightened his wrinkled clothes and sat back down.

Meanwhile, a female reporter who had been listening in was trying hard to restrain her laughter, her cheeks flushed. She leaned over, unable to contain herself, and whispered with amusement:

"Why bother talking so much with him? You could just knock him out, couldn’t you?"

"I could definitely knock him out, but if, when encountering problems, your first instinct isn’t to think it through, and instead you instinctively rely on force, it can easily lead to... hmm..."

At this point, Leon paused slightly, glanced at the female reporter, then looked away and continued with a straight face:

"It can easily lead to becoming a bit of a dim-witted brute, so I try to solve problems with wisdom as much as I can."

"..."

Damn! Talking halfway through, then suddenly pausing and glancing at me, what do you mean by that?

"By the way."

Under the slightly annoyed gaze of the female reporter, Leon tilted his head slightly, looked at the somewhat blank-faced hijacker guy beside him, and asked:

"I remember at the beginning, you said ’we’ took over the Sky Clipper, so you should have a partner, right? Where is your partner?"

My partner...

Hearing Leon’s words, the hijacker guy froze momentarily, then shook his head hastily, "You must be mistaken, I don’t have a partner!"

Alright, not only does he have a partner, but the partner is probably still lurking among the passengers, yet to show up.

Leon nodded in response, but didn’t question further. Instead, he touched the ram’s horn protruding from his cuff and quickly scanned the souls inside the Sky Clipper.

Sure enough, after resolving the hijacking crisis with just a few words, although most people didn’t dare to speak, they were secretly relieved. Among them, a soul full of resentment and agitation was as conspicuous as a xenon headlamp on a heavy-duty truck.

"Your partner is you, right?"

Turning to look at a young girl dressed rather plainly, three rows away, Leon smiled and asked:

"And it seems like you are the ’mastermind’? He’s just the one doing the labor? Considering how he defends you and the fact that you two resemble each other... are you siblings?"

"..."

This person... so terrifying!

Facing Leon, who was smiling gently but seemed to have a demon’s shadow dancing behind him, making her heart tremble, the girl in the seat didn’t answer. Instead, she stood up directly, pulled out a second homemade nail gun, and aimed it at Leon, gritting her teeth:

"You’re a big shot, aren’t you? If you don’t want a hole in your head, you’d better send your men to the control room and help us take over this Sky Clipper!"

"But this Sky Clipper is auto..."

"Don’t lie to me!"

The similarly slender young girl shouted angrily:

"If it’s just for weather recording, does it need seven or eight people in the control room? Even if this Sky Clipper is truly automatic, the people in the control room must have a way to adjust the course!"

Tsk, she actually realized that. This girl seems to be a bit smarter than the hijacker guy.

"?!!!"

Upon hearing the young girl’s words, the hijacker guy sprang up from the floor, glaring at Leon with a mix of shock and anger.

"You tricked me?"

"I didn’t trick you, just didn’t disclose everything. Additionally..."

Replying to the hijacker guy, Leon then turned to the gaunt, seemingly two years younger than Anna hijacker girl and raised an eyebrow, "You seem a bit more cultured than your brother, so you should know that the position of the Crolock Kingdom’s palace isn’t fixed, right?"

"How to find the palace is none of your business!"

Shooting a wary glance at Leon, the hijacker girl shouted sternly, raising her gun, "What you need to do now is send someone to the control room and take control of the Sky Clipper, or I’ll kill you!"

"But even if I listened to you, wouldn’t I still end up dead?"

Leon retorted, "You two plan a kamikaze attack with this Sky Clipper. As a passenger onboard, wouldn’t I still end up dead?"

"As long as you do as you’re told, you won’t die!"

Seeing Leon still not cooperating, the hijacker girl flipped the safety on the nail gun, bit her lip, and shouted angrily, "We’ve checked, there are twelve sets of safety boats underneath the aft compartment equipped with flotation air bags, enough for everyone aboard to leave. As long as you cooperate with us, not a single person on the Sky Clipper will die!"

Hmm, that’s actually the truth...

Glancing at the hijacker girl’s soul, Leon blinked and said, "So when your brother was masked, you didn’t stop him because you plan to have him keep living, while you, who can find the palace location, stay here..."

"Shut up!"

Seeing her plan being laid bare in a few words, the increasingly flustered hijacker girl stomped her foot and shouted sharply, "You mustn’t speak again! Hurry and send your men to the control room, or I’ll shoot!"

"Then go ahead and shoot!"

Sneaking a glance at the nail gun in the hijacker girl’s hands, Leon chuckled and said, "As long as you pull the trigger and manage to fire a nail, I’ll immediately have people take over the control room, and you can steer wherever you want. How about it?"

"?!!!"

"Looks like I guessed right, your guns can’t fire at all."

Seeing the hijacker girl’s lips move twice, a hint of despair sweeping through her bright eyes, Leon smiled and said, "I often handle guns too. Though your guns’ exteriors seem fine, even restoring the rifling in the barrels, the paint on the junctions is suspiciously off, and the air tank dimensions are problematic—all just high-grade replicas.

And come to think of it, though the Kingdom’s security is pretty lousy, they are diligent enough in their searches. It’s unlikely they would allow two real guns onboard, much less miss two of them entirely."

What? Fake guns?!!!

Noticing the hijacker girl biting her lips pale and the nail gun she daringly held showing no action, the guests in the VIP cabin, who had been silently shaking with fear, finally started to speak up.

"Scared me to death..."

"They’re fake!"

"Bastard! Scaring people with two fake guns?"

The overweight merchant beside the hijacker girl, wearing a silk frock and weighing close to three hundred pounds, stood up abruptly, extending a large hand that seemed ready to squeeze out oil, and slapped fiercely:

"You damned... ah!"

"Everybody freeze!"

Covering the distance in a couple strides, kicking over the fat merchant, the hijacker guy pulled a small horn-handled knife from his coat and brandished it at the surrounding passengers, roaring terribly:

"I may not have a gun, but I have a knife! Anyone who dares to touch my sister, I’ll... uh..."

"So she really is your sister, and by the way..."

Pulling a long-neglected sniper rifle from the mirror world, flicking off the safety with his finger, Leon asked with a smiling face at the dumbfounded hijacker guy, "Wanna guess whether my gun’s real or fake?"
