Chapter 1996 Held Hostage
“I see you came prepared.” Francesca was shocked. Chrono had falsified her documents and hidden them in the airport. As soon as he caught her, he could take her back to Baykeep.
“Be good and listen to me. Otherwise, you know what will happen!” Chrono growled in a threatening tone. With that, he dragged her back out. Francesca did not dare to resist him. After all, she was not sure if the orphanage was safe yet.
Layla and Lincoln were both trained in the secret service. They had an acute sense of observation. Despite that, Chrono managed to plant a bomb right under their noses. Obviously, Chrono and his gang were not going to be easy to deal with.
Francesca had long heard that Chrono was part of Riz Corporation. The leader of it all, Darcel Nacht, ran a dark underworld that no one had been able to touch thus far.
No one in this world posed any sort of threat to him.
Thus, Francesca did not dare to act recklessly.
Chrono guided Francesca through all the procedures. After passing through security, they headed to the boarding gate…
Francesca was very cooperative the entire time and she did not resist. Right before boarding the plane, she made an excuse and told him she needed to use the washroom. Actually, she wanted to borrow someone’s phone to call Layla.
She needed to ascertain whether the orphanage was still in immediate danger.
However, Chrono would not allow it. He squeezed her shoulder and said, “We’re already boarding. There’s a washroom on the plane.”
“I need to go right now,” Francesca whined loudly. “Would you prefer if I wet my pants?”
When everyone around heard her, they turned to look over.
Several airport employees also turned their attention toward Francesca and Chrono.
Chrono frowned. He glared at her and said in a low voice, “What do you think you’re doing? Don’t play games with me.”
“I just want to use the washroom.”
Francesca’s voice was loud so that she could purposely attract attention.
“Stop messing with me.”
Chrono’s eyes were blazing with fire. His patience was near zero.
“I will be done really soon. I promise it won’t take long.”
Francesca looked ahead of her. The employees were already prepared to welcome passengers on board. People with business class tickets were beginning to line up.
“Enough with your nonsense!”
Chrono dragged her over to check her boarding pass.
They were first-class passengers, so they didn’t need to queue.
Everyone around them was staring at them. Even the airport employees found the situation strange. However, since the two of them had documentation, the employees didn’t ask any questions.
Chrono and Francesca got their boarding passes checked. As they were walking along the path to the plane, a familiar voice sounded from behind. “Ms. Felch!”
Francesca turned her head back to look. Sloan was rushing over with two bodyguards…
“Sloan!”
Francesca was pleasantly surprised. It was as though she had just seen her savior.
Chrono immediately tugged at Francesca to get on the plane. She struggled as hard as she could. Sloan and the others also rushed up to stop him…
Suddenly, Chrono took out a pistol from his sleeve and aimed it at Sloan.
Francesca immediately shoved him, causing his bullet to miss.
Regardless, the gun sound startled everyone around. All the other passengers were frightened and started to run. Some also called the police.
Sloan went up with his man and started fighting against Chrono.
Francesca took advantage of that time to escape. However, Chrono was no ordinary man. He had other weapons hidden on his body. It didn’t take him long to defeat Sloan and the bodyguards. Soon, he chased after Francesca to capture her again.
Two airport security guards ran over. They shouted, “Stop right there!”
Unfortunately, they didn’t have any guns. The only weapon they carried was a stun baton.
Chrono was unfazed. He kicked both the guards to the side. Then, he grabbed onto Francesca’s shoulder and roughly yanked her back toward him.
Francesca’s shoulder was already injured. With his rough handling, she shouted out in pain.
Sloan and the others came over to the rescue. However, Chrono pointed the gun at Francesca’s head. In a rage, he shouted, “If you guys come any closer, I will kill her!”
No one dared to go any closer…
“Calm down. What do you want? Tell us. We will give you anything. Don’t hurt Ms. Felch!” said Sloan anxiously.
“Back down, all of you!”
Chrono didn’t want to waste his breath. He held Francesca in a chokehold and moved toward the plane.
Sloan and the bodyguards slowly followed behind him. No one else dared to move.
The airport employees were stupefied. Some people even called the police in secret. However, the police could not get there in time anyway.
