While singing Ukada Hikaru's most popular song, Akiko drove the BMW leisurely. Lian Xi who was next to her looked sullen. That one song has been on repeat ever since!
Cecilia who was sitting at the back smiled understandingly. Akiko is having fun. They were on their way to Daxing International Airport. Andalas will land in 2 hours from New Delhi.
Cecilia agreed to carry out the plan proposed by Akiko. Andalas will accompany the SAVE serum until it arrives in Nyon. His Kiler Hunter business had to wait because bringing SAVE to Young Huang's Swiss pharmaceutical facility was a top priority. Moreover, according to its original purpose, the activation of Killer Hunter has more or less broken the concentration of the Organization and OWC.
The plane carrying Andalas from New Delhi was delayed by several hours due to bad weather. Cecilia who was usually patient, became too long to wait. Moreover, Lian Xi kept looking at the clock while looking at the flight radar application to see where the plane that Andalas was traveling on was.
Only Akiko seemed to be enjoying this waiting process. Obviously, he was waiting for the person he was waiting for the most in the world, making him the most patient person in the world too. Whereas among the 3 women, it was Akiko who was usually impatient and often grumbled when asked to wait.
Cecilia opened the X-One. Who knows there is new news from Cathy. It's true there is.
Cecil, the SAVE Serum is ready. I heard you guys were going to pick him up here. Are you coming?
No Cat, I have to wait for the kitchen.
Long time no reply from Cathy. Maybe her cousin thought she was joking. Even though he meant the kitchen. The Kitchen. Cecilia continued the chat.
How is Sefu doing?
Pretty good Cecil. Professor Sato and his team started trying to formulate some formulas. I recorded it. Faster than I thought because people were excited after hearing that SAVE was going to be mass-produced to tackle the Ice Virus pandemic.
Cecilia asked idly.
Have you ever had a conversation with Sefu? Is he still insane?
Yup! Very unreasonable. The effect of the bacteria not killing him actually made his brain cells deviate. Not damage. Yes. He is completely insane.
Cecilia stopped the chat. The announcement said the plane from New Delhi had landed. Cecilia accidentally saw two different faces of Akiko and Lian Xi.
The bright Akiko was beaming with happiness and Lian Xi who looked gloomy and jealous. Wow, this is terrible! The two lionesses can kill each other if there are Andalas between them. Cecilia realized that one day it would happen. He had to figure out how Andalas was never among them. She shouldn't have agreed to Akiko's proposal.
From afar the figure appeared. An attractive burly man with an icy face. Akiko lost her Yakuza soul. The woman shamelessly lunged forward and hugged Andalas tightly. Andalas looks clumsy and nervous. Cecilia had to pull Akiko's arm to stop her from hugging. Especially after seeing Lian Xi's clenched fist subconsciously.
"Okay. So where are we going?" Andalas asked to break the silence. Besides relieving his awkward feeling, it was also to normalize his heartbeat again. Akiko's warm hug made him feel calm and happy. He had to admit it.
"We went straight to the KL Facility. Gulfstream is waiting for us in terminal 5. Are you still able Andalas?" Cecilia also tried to neutralize the situation. Lian Xi seemed to be getting hotter because Akiko never let go of her hand on Andalas' arm.
Andalas nodded.
"Sure. I'm just a little tired from delay. But I can sleep on the plane I think."
An opportunity that Lian Xi immediately seized.
"You can sleep next to me. You will be my co-pilot in Gulfstream later."
Akiko glared. But then realized Lian Xi was heating her up. Akiko was deliberately making Lian Xi hotter.
"Thank you for wanting to fulfill my request to accompany us to Nyon. This is a small gift from me." Akiko pulled Andalas to a stop then lifted her face to kiss Andalas' cheek gently.
Cecilia was shocked. Akiko was crazy! A kung fu fight could happen in this crowded place. Oh my gosh. Cecilia pulled Akiko's arm again. Lian Xi was already blushing.
Cecilia took over the situation. He's the one holding Andalas's arm now. He gently brushed it off when Akiko's hand was about to grab Andalas' other arm. Akiko pouted. Of course, she couldn't be angry with Cecilia.
Cecilia glanced at Lian Xi who was able to smile again. Safe. The situation has calmed down. Akiko bastard!
Lian Xi took the Gulfstream I-AA to take off smoothly on the runway of the world's largest airport. She became a pilot and Andalas acted as copilot. Lian Xi could see the look of exhaustion on the face of the man who had saved her. Lian Xi could imagine the inner pressure that was going through suffered by Andalas. Killing people for the sake of living more people. Of course, it's very hard. It's like watching every time hands that are always covered in blood.
The journey to Xining Caojiabao airport takes approximately 3 hours. During the trip, most of the time, Andalas fell asleep in the copilot's seat. Although Akiko was never silent and always went back and forth while bringing things such as coffee, hot chocolate, light snacks, which Andalas accepted with a smile, but as soon as Akiko returned to the cabin to get another one, Andalas always fell asleep.
Lian Xi became excited also seeing Akiko's behavior. Unexpectedly, the fierce and deadly Yakuza princess can turn into a graceful palace maid who is ready to serve Andalas' needs anytime. The man who kept his icy face. Love is strange! Lian Xi thought in amusement. Just like her now. Many time saw Andalas's face even though she was piloting an airplane with a speed of mach 1.
Once landed and parked the plane in the hangar that had been rented by Luigi. The four friends got off and the car was waiting on the plane steps. This time the four of them were driven by Young Huang's confidant.
The distance to the KL Facility is not too far but they have to change cars several times at certain points. Cecilia didn't ask much. She knew this was all for safety and to outwit anyone who tried to stalk them.
It was at the foot of the famous Kun Lun Mountains that the car stopped. The driver invited them down respectfully.
Cecilia and the three others saw them in a sky cable private
On the sky cable, the four of them were amazed at the sight that was presented in front of them. A majestic and mysterious mountain landscape was waiting for them ahead. Below, the meandering river flow can be seen splitting the green hills which are partly covered with thin white snow.
Amazing view! Andalas forgot to feel sleepy and tired. Akiko and Lian Xi forgot their love feud. And Cecilia had forgotten that she had many nightmares about cities being quarantined. All were treated and healed by a sight like no other in their lifetime.
