Jack and Landu, as co-pilots, naturally had no ce in the rating
assessment.
This opportunity had onlye their way because Madison was flying cargo, requiring a first and
second officer as her wingmen.
“Do you think you’ll be up for captain assessment next year?”
Madison asked.
Jack nodded vigorously, “Yes!”
Madison smiled, “I may not have seniority, but if you need it, I can -vouch for you when the time
comes.”
Jack’s eyes widened, “Really?!”
A rmendation from their fleet captain would significantly boost their chances of promotion.
Madison affirmed with a nod.
Although Mukino Airlines was short on experienced captains, the positions were gradually filling up
after two rounds of hiring, raising the bar for applicants.
Mukino’s promotions were overseen by a professionalmittee that left no room for favoritism.
Over time, a saying emerged in the industry: Any pilot from Mukino could rival those from the
national airlines.
Even as amercial airline, Mukino had, over thest two years, begun to stand on equal footing
with the state airline.
As the long flight came to an end, Madison instinctively started to make an announcement but then
remembered she was on a cargo
flight.
Afternding, specialists arrived to tally the cargo. Following
procedure, Madison reported in, then departed with her co-pilots to the designated hotel.
On the way, she asked her co-pilots if they knew what they had just transported.
“Captain Madison, you don’t know?” Jack asked in return.
Madison shook her head honestly.
Landu revealed, “It was organs for transnt.”
“Transnt organs?!” Madison couldn’t contain her shock.
Jack confirmed again, “That’s right.”
Madison felt a bit distracted. If she had made even the slightest mistake during the flight, those
waiting for life-saving transnts
would have lost all hope.
The weight of that responsibility hit her only afterward.
That’s precisely why Ethan hadn’t told her beforehand.
Learning that someone named Madison had transported such critical cargo, many airline CEOs
took special notice. Anyone Mukino trusted with such a task was undoubtedly a pilot of exceptional
skill.
Madison’s reputation, quite unexpectedly, began to spread in the industry.
“All of these are pilots?”
Reaching the hotel, it wasn’t just Jack’s limited experience that was
at y; he had underestimated the officials’ clout.
“This must be over a thousand pilots, right?” Landu queried.
Madison nodded, “Around twelve hundred, I believe.”
“Goodness…” Jack and Landu followed Madison closely like anxious
brides.
After settling the two men, Madison returned to her room, which had been kept for her, standing
empty.
She was the first to arrive; it wasn’t two hours before Charlie arrived too, and Kou Mei and Zuo Yulei
hadn’t left at all.
“You finally made it!” Zuo Yuleimented, “You don’t know, but ever since your Mukino folks left, the
big boss at the national airline chewed out all of us from Pine Airlines.”
Charlie chuckled, “Why scold the Pine pilots?”
“For not seizing the moment to walk out with you,” Zuo Yulei sprawled on the bed aimlessly.
Kou Mei shrugged, “You can imagine the pressure our national airline folks have been under these
last few days.”
Charlie and Madison exchanged a look and a resigned smile.
Sitting upright, Zuo Yulei gave a thumbs-up, “I must say, your chairman did a sleek job! It was quite
a p in the face for them! It was refreshing to watch!”
Hearing Ethan praised to her face brought a blush to Madison’s
cheeks. She couldn’t chime in, not wanting to seem boastful, so she
listened in silence.
Charlie, however, didn’t hold back, “Of course, he did. How else could he have the nerve to have us
all drop our tools?”
Kou Mei apuded enthusiastically.
The rating assessment was down to itsst hurdle. Considering the
Including Madison, everyone felt the pressure, though she couldn’t
voice it.
Once spoken, it would only add to everyone else’s stress.

“I heard your President Grant really put the squeeze on the International Civil Aviation Organization.
Does that mean you can walk sideways from now on?” Zuo Yulei leaned in, the gossip witch in her
awakened.
“I’m not a crab,” Madison joked, sidestepping the question.
As they chatted, the loosely shut door burst open with a violent kick.
A loud bang startled the four women.
As Madison turned, she was sshed with a ssful of liquid.
The sour liquid invaded her mouth it must have been lemon juice.
“What are you doing?” Zuo Yulei’s voice boomed.
Charlie was the first to intercept Shi Hua, who barged in, but the enraged woman wasn’t stopped
easily. She shoved Charlie aside, reaching for the soaking wet Madison.
“Why are you getting physical?!” Zuo Yulei intervened.
Caught off guard by the pain, Madison was yanked up by her hair, her anger igniting instantly.
No one expected the typically reserved Madison to fight back.
She freed her hair from Shi Hua’s grasp and, with a quick motion, pped her across the face.
Madison’s eyes zed with fury. She grabbed Shi Hua’s hair and flung her toward the wardrobe.
“Bang!”
Shi Hua crashed into the wardrobe door, her back throbbing with pain. “Think you can push me
around?” Madison’s tone was deadly.
Seizing Shi Hua by the throat, Madison’s fingers dug into the tender flesh, mming her into the
wardrobe door repeatedly!
The stunning turnaround and Madison’s suddenly fierce demeanor took the others aback.
They had never seen Madison like this – her cold, silent rage was frightening…
The first to snap out of the shock was Zuo Yulei.
She hurried to the door, mming it shut and locking it.
As for Charlie and Kou Mei, even though they regained their senses, they didn’t intervene.
Unhindered, Madison let her emotions surge, venting all her suppressed frustrations on the trouble-
making Shi Hua.
Dragging Shi Hua’s hair, Madison pulled her close. The soaked strands clung to her face, her eyes
indifferent to the point of chilling,
her voice as sinister as a dread whisper in the night-
“If you insist on being stubborn, I’ll show you what hell looks like.”
