The airline staff who served on the chartered plane had long been accustomed to the guests talking about business immediately after boarding the plane. Because of this, they also did not nag and remind the guests to fasten their seat belts like ordinary civil aviation flight attendants or explain how to use the oxygen mask during the occurrence of special circumstances, but instead, they immediately retreated after politely serving the drinks.
The drinks sent by the flight attendants were all pre-booked by Charlie last night. In the face of his boss’ questions, he poured a cup of his favorite cocktail and sighed as he explained,
Boss, right now, there’s a great change in the capital market situation on Wall Street. All of the money has slowly started to become ‘hot’ and has flocked to military industry enterprises. A small amount of fundraising may not be a problem but if it’s more than tens of billions, then it would require a long period of ‘digestion’ in the market.


The funds have started to turn into hot money and flocked towards the military industry enterprises?
Zhang Lisheng had a thoughtful expression on his face as he nodded in understanding.
The hottest industry this year should indeed be aircraft and missiles. But you’ve forgotten one thing, the original intention of me letting you sell LS shares was not to make money. If no one buys them, then we can lure those influential big companies to replace them with stocks instead. In short, sell the excess shares of the group as soon as possible. I have a ‘big plan’ so I’d need a lot of allies for my next step. As for money, it’s not a problem at all.

Charlie, who had some suspicions about his boss
big plan’, said thoughtfully,
Understood, boss. Understood…


It’s good that you understand, Charlie. I’ve possessed a flowing ‘Golden River’ on the Shrimp B1 Island and if I cash it, it’s not even a problem for me to buy the entire New York,
Zhang Lisheng opened a can of iced Coke in a satisfactory manner and said as he relaxed his body.


Before he could finish his can of Coke, it was already time for the plane to take off. After the flight attendant announced the plane’s takeoff with a gentle tone, the engine of the Boeing BBJ737 slowly started as it slowly slid into the runway. Then, it accelerated into the air and officially kicked off Zhang Lisheng’s US tour.
In the next twenty-eight days, his footprint was left behind in the eight metropolises on the east and west coasts of the US. However, every time he reached each of the metropolises, he would low-key command a wizard gu to turn invisible and climb into the trenches under the slaughterhouse and then he would accompany Tina on walking around the city. All of the grand opening ceremonies of the factories were hosted by Charlie.
After going through one round of US trips, Zhang Lisheng sowed eight seeds of wizard gus that might be able to transform into ancient strange worms. Charlie, on the other hand, managed to gain widespread attention from the US business community and had become an influential person in the business circle. The two of them could be said as having achieved what they needed.
On their way back, Charlie, who had worked hard for a whole four weeks, slumped on the seat of the plane in an exhausted manner that was completely imageless but he had a relaxed expression on his face.
After starting the operations of all the factories in the eight metropolitan cities, the original burdens had now become a money-making machine. Even though they had only started operating for a few days, the reality was far better than expected, causing his tone of speaking to change as well.
Boss, right now, the eight new factories have an average daily profit of nearly three million dollars. This is basically the same as the profits made by the New York factory. This kind of opening is really good! If we continue to keep this momentum, it’ll only take half a year at most for the total profit of the new factories to reach the limit of 10 million USD per day, I kinda feel reluctant to sell such hens that can give birth to golden eggs away already.


Charlie, when you first boarded this plane, you kept….
When Zhang Lisheng saw how smug the LS general manager had become, he was about to sneak in a few words but all of a sudden, the plane suddenly seemed to be out of control as it dropped in height rapidly, so fast that the entire cabin created a temporary weightless phenomenon.
Those who had never experienced this before could not imagine how terrifying it was to be weightless in an altitude of thousands of meters in the air. Some of the people who suffered from heart problems might even die suddenly in just a few seconds. Not only that, even after you had successfully survived from this after the gravity was recovered, you might hit your head and bleed or worse, even suffer from a fracture and lose your life if you did not wear a seat belt.
However, to Zhang Lisheng who possessed the transformation power and had long been proficient in Shape-Will Fist, it was very easy for him to maintain balance in this unexpected situation.
His body relaxed naturally before all of the muscles in his body turned taut again. He grabbed Tina who was floating from the seat while his other hand grabbed the wrist of Charlie who had a painful look on his face in seemingly slow motion. At that instant when gravity was restored, both of his feet quickly walked on the soft seats in two to three steps before he removed his strength.
After that, Zhang Lisheng threw Tina and Charlie who still had not recovered from their fright back to their seats. Hastily, he urged,
Put on your seat belt!
and then walked up to the few flight attendants who had fallen and hit their heads so they were now covered in blood. After selecting the flight attendant who had the lightest injury, he shouted loudly,
Quick, go ask the pilot what has happened!



The air service personnel had, after all, received professional training for emergency distress before. That air stewardess who looked as though she suffered from the slightest injury quickly snapped back from her fear and bewilderment before nodding her head at the guest while struggling to stand up. All of a sudden, her body spasmed and a mouthful of dark blood spouted out from her mouth. Then, her head suddenly fell as she became motionless and lost consciousness.

Selina! Selina! What happened? Wake up! Wake up…
The flight attendants who had gradually recovered from their panic saw the unexpected situation of their companion so they crawled to her side and shouted anxiously.

She threw out black venous blood so a rib must have fractured and pierced through her heart. Her chances of surviving is not high even if she’s being rescued in an operating room right now. Let her lie quietly. If you guys don’t want to be like her, it’s best to ask…

As Zhang Lisheng was speaking, the plane that was originally nosediving slowly suddenly lost control again and dropped straight to the ground.
At this time, Zhang Lisheng who had been prepared appeared to be even more amazing. He forcefully held down the few flight attendants and stabilized himself using the ‘Thousand Mass Weight’ martial pose.
However, even though he was not afraid of such an accident, the plane would certainly crash onto the ground if it continued to drop two to three times like this, despite the fact that the plane was at a high altitude right now. He did not have the intention to experiment whether his transformed body was able to withstand the explosion of the air disaster or not so he started to have the thought of saving their own lives by abandoning the plane together with Tina and Charlie by commanding the wizard gus.
The instant he thought about saving their own lives, Zhang Lisheng shifted his eyes at the blue sky outside of the plane. To his surprise, he saw hundreds of oval-shaped aircraft beaming with faint lights that had the size of ordinary airplanes flying in the distant air together with their plane.
At the same time, a sudden burst of late announcements resonated in the cabin.
I’m Captain Ronaldo of the Howebird Plane and I’ve discovered some unknown flying objects in the air! It’s an emergency evasion! Emergency evasion! Everyone, fasten your seat belts! Everyone, fasten your seat belts!

Upon hearing the description of the cabin broadcast, it was obvious that the two uncontrollable situations just now was not because of some pilot error nor of mechanical failure. Instead, it was a life-saving measure that had to be taken to avoid the unknown flying objects in the air.

W-What are those things outside? M-Missiles? Somebody is attacking the US? Oh my god! S-Somebody is attacking the US? W-Who? Who dare to do so?
Under the boss’s reminder, Charlie, who had already tightened his slightly plump body using a seat belt on the seat, clamped a hand on his chest as he looked out of the window and exclaimed.


Zhang Lisheng, who had identified the unknown flying objects outside of the aircraft window as self-propelled missiles of the ‘steam civilization’, on the other hand, dismissed the idea of commanding the wizard gu to face the foreign world’s missiles directly. Instead, he sat back at the seat near the window and stared at the hundreds of goose-like flying objects in the air before saying with a blank expression,
It’s the Karlado people. Those are their self-propelled bombs, I have seen it in South Africa before.

As he was speaking, a bunch of intercepting missiles suddenly flew from above to below and suddenly accelerated to collide with those self-propelled missiles from the foreign world.
After a series of explosions and roaring sounds, thick milky white steam flooded the clouds in the sky, forming a hurricane that caused the plane flying in the great distance to be sucked into the cyclone. The plane tumbled a few times up and down, and almost crashed to the ground.
It was a good thing that the pilot of the Howebird Plane that Zhang Lisheng was riding on had already demonstrated superb flying skills. Dexterously, he drove the plane to fly in the direction of the cyclone to avoid damage from being inflicted to the plane body. After he had crossed the wind zone, he finally regained his control on the balance.
The Howebird Plane began to fly smoothly and climbed slowly. Everything seemed to have returned to a calm state.

Hah— Hah— W-We’re fine. We’re out of danger now.
After a while, a wretched Charlie, whose sparse hair was scattered all over his scalp causing him to look funny, touched himself from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet with both of his trembling hands.
W-We didn’t die! W-We’re not injured too… Just like this, w-we’re out of danger n-now…

The injured flight attendants began to unfasten their seat belts and surrounded their dead companions to press on their chests in futile efforts as they sobbed quietly.
Right at this moment, another hasty announcement sound suddenly resonated in the cabin again, with a hint of despair in their voice.
Everyone, fasten your seat belts! There are more unknown flying objects appearing behind us. Please pray and may God bless us!

The broadcast made everyone in the cabin turn pale right away. Tina, who had been silent the entire journey, quietly took Zhang Lisheng’s hand. After giving her boyfriend a kiss, she stroked his heart gently and whispered,
I know you have a way to escape, baby. Leave me behind! As long as you remember me always right here…

Suddenly, Zhang Lisheng could not help but laugh at his sad girlfriend before whispering at her,
Tina, why have you regarded yourself as the heroine of a tragic romance movie after taking a trip to Hollywood? Don’t tell me that you’ve forgotten that your boyfriend is a character in a magical film?



As Zhang Lisheng was speaking, the several hundred of ‘steam civilization’ self-propelled missiles had once again caught up with the plane in the air. This time, there were even four oval-shaped missiles that were constantly rotating as they radiated strong steam that detached themselves from the group. Rotating speedily in the air, they directly charged towards the Howebird Plane.

Oh, farewell, this prosperous world! I can’t believe that I’m going to die now that I’ve reached the new peak of my career!
Seeing the missiles getting bigger and bigger in front of him, Charlie shouted in despair while closing his eyes as he made his last prayer.
