Chapter 731
Chapter 731 Cayden Is A Legend
Gazing at Cal''s face, so simr to Cayden''s, Avery felt her breath catch, and an indescribable ache
gripped her heart.
That pain rapidly escted, making it hard for her to even breathe properly.
Sorrow swept through her chest without restraint...
Cayden had promised her he would return safely. But now, it seemed he had broken that promise.
Seeing Avery''s mournful expression, sensitive little Cal knew something was wrong.
He didn''t act as mischievously as before. Instead, he handed her a tissue and said gently, “Mommy,
you''re crying. Let me wipe your tears away.”
With all his might, the little guy tiptoed and tried to wipe away her tears.
But he was too small, and his short legs couldn''t reach her.
Somewhat disheartened, he tugged on Avery''s clothes and asked in a childish tone, “Mommy, what''s
wrong? Don''t ignore me. Did I do something wrong? I won''t make you angry again. Mommy, can you
forgive me?”
The little boy, barely half his mother''s height, thought he had caused her sorrow.
Though unaware of what he had done wrong, he tried to apologize to his mom in his own way.
Avery''s gaze was locked on her son''s face, staring in a dazed and nk way at him. It was as if
through him, she was looking at the man she loved.
Even when her phone rang in her pocket, she didn''t hear it. She remained expressionless, seemingly
devoid of soul.
Avery listened to her phone ringing as if her soul had been drained, leaving her in a daze.
Cal shook her arm, lifting his handsome yet childish face and reminding her, “Mommy, your phone''s
ringing. Is it Daddy calling?”
Still unmoving, Avery forced a bitter smile.
Her son was still too young, oblivious to the fact that his father''s ne had encountered an ident.
There was no way to contact him now, so how could he be calling?
Cal saw that Avery remained silent, but her phone continuously rang...
Cal stretched out his chubby little hand, retrieved the phone from her pocket, and hit the answer button,
asking excitedly, “Hello, Daddy, is that you?”
A low, maic, and sexy voice came through the phone. “Cal, it''s me. Let your mommy take the
call…”
Cal was about to hand the phone to Avery but realized his small hand was empty as the phone
changed hands.
Avery held the phone, her face beaming with excitement as she looked at the blinking “Hubby” on her
screen.
She burst out with rapid questions at the caller with a tirade of emotions in her voice. “Cayden, is that
you? Is it really you? Where are you now? I saw on the news that your flight had an ident and lost
contact over Mount Chueles! You have no idea how scared I''ve been. What''s going on?”
Cal stared, mouth agape, at his mom''s excited expression, feeling rather dejected.
Humph, Mommy is so annoying. Every time something happened with Daddy, she always left me out of
it. Annoying.
Cayden''s voice, warm and soothing, came through. “Avery, it''s me. The flight did have a minor mishap.
The ne experienced some trouble, and it nearly crashed. But luckily, I''m quite familiar with these
types of aircraft, so I managed to control the ne before it crashed. Wended at Xandenia Airport
near Mount Chueles. I''m in the airport lounge now. I knew you''d be worried, so I called to let you know.”
...
Xandenia Airport VIP Lounge.
Caydenforted Avery with gentle words, purposefully not mentioning the hijacking incident on the
ne.
Avery wasn''t very resilient in the face of such things.
He was afraid that if he told her everything, she''d worry even more. So, he kept it light.
However, he was the only one who knew just how dangerous the situation on the ne had been.
At the time, the hijackers had used electromaic interference devices on the ne, causing the
compasses to go haywire and malfunction. The ne couldn''t establish its direction.
Suddenly, the ne had tilted at a 45-degree angle, executing a shocking aerial drift.
Although the passengers had been securely fastened with their seatbelts, the sensation was still more
harrowing than a roller coaster ride.
After the nine-eleven terrorist attacks, cockpit doors on allmercial aircraft had been reinforced, and
only the captain knew the ess code.
However, during the struggle with the hijacker, both the captain and the hijacker were shot in the heart,
leaving the captain dead.
There were bullet marks on the cockpit''s engine control system, damaging the engine''s gears.
The cockpit had been battered with hard objects, but luckily, the white paint had only peeled off,
revealing only superficial damage to the aluminum alloy and synthetic nanofiber material underneath.
Thankfully, the training he''d been subjected to during his time on Eerie Ind had equipped him with
the skills needed to handle such challenging situations. This had kept him from panicking in the face of
danger.
Though the process of regaining control of the ne had been arduous, Cayden had ultimately
seeded.
He had managed to safelynd the ne at Xandenia Airport.
After the incident, both the International Chanaean Southern Airline and the First Investigation Unit of
the Criminal Investigation Organization rushed to the scene to investigate the cause of the ident.
The airline safety department was mainly responsible for the aviation aspect of the investigation, while
the criminal investigation unit focused on the hijacking incident.
Out of the ten hijackers, Cayden had killed five and gravely injured two.
The remaining three were apprehended by the brave individuals at the airport and handed over to the
police.
Right now, Cayden was eager to return to Ackleton as soon as possible to be by Avery''s side.
However, he couldn''t leave just yet.
He needed to uncover the backgrounds and affiliations of those hijackers, identify the mastermind
behind it all, and cooperate with the police''s investigation into the hijacking case. He couldn''t allow the
true mastermind to escape justice.
...
Due to the severe impact of the hijacking incident and the fact that many influential figures were among
the passengers, such as Cayden, the CEO of Trident Group, Bafeire, the stock market wizard, and the
foreign minister of Fruycia, the repercussions could be disastrous.
Not only might it lead to economic instability, but it could also trigger conflicts between nations.
Therefore, after the incident, all media rushed to the scene, vying to report on the hijacking.
Naturally, most of the reports focused on Cayden.
“Cayden is nothing short of a legend. He single-handedly faced off against the hijackers, wlessly
piloted the ne under circumstances where the ess codes were unknown and the controls had
malfunctioned, and he was battling extreme cold and strong air currents. His perfect handling of the
emergencynding in the face of such immense difficulty is unimaginable! Even pilots with decades of
experience would struggle to achieve what he did. His actions were nothing short of perfection!”
A well-known militarymentator and aviation expert praised Cayden wholeheartedly during a
television interview.
While the whole nation and inte users praised and thanked him, Cayden, the central figure, didn''t
take a moment''s rest.
He first headed to the police station, where the chief personally received him.
He shared all the details with the police, and then without wasting any time, he hurried back to
Ackleton.
Despite his exhaustion, Cayden didn''t allow himself a single moment of rest. He had to go and see
Avery, to let her know he was safe and sound.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
