At this critical moment, there was no time to think—Brian Carter grit his teeth and charged forward! Although he acted later than the bald man, he actually arrived first!
In that instant, his speed ability erupted to the fullest. Everyone only saw a blur, and then blood splattered everywhere!
Brian Carter's left hand gripped the young man's wrist like an iron clamp, while his right hand drove the champagne glass into the man's neck like a spear!
The slender crystal wine glass was not sharp, but under Brian Carter's full-force strike, it became a deadly weapon.
Squelch!
The carotid artery and windpipe were completely severed, and blood sprayed out like an open faucet, raining everywhere!
The pale-faced young man showed an expression of disbelief, his eyes bulging in despair like a dead fish. He died on the spot without even making a sound.
On the other side, the bald man grabbed the other person's head with both hands and twisted hard—crack! He snapped the man's neck cleanly and efficiently.
Smack!
Before the bald man could steady himself, Brian Carter landed a heavy slap on his face. His face flushed bright red as he glared angrily at Brian Carter.
"Idiot! You almost got us all killed!" Brian Carter shouted at the bald man without mercy, cursing him out, his face still smeared with blood, looking fierce and menacing.
"You think I endangered you? I saved you! These people are from the notorious Black Snake Society—did you really think they'd let you go? They have no honor at all!"
"You saved us? Come here and look at this!" Brian Carter pulled the uninjured hand of the pale-faced youth out of his pocket, revealing a black box with a red button in his grip.
It was the detonator for a bomb!
So the detonator wasn't on the burly man after all!
The young man's wrist was bruised and broken, showing just how much force Brian Carter had used to stop him from triggering the bomb.
Brian Carter's profession was a bicycle courier, so he was already in good shape. With the added effects of the gene optimization serum, his physical strength far surpassed that of ordinary people. That's how he managed to break the man's wrist in one go, preventing him from detonating the explosives.
A chill ran down the bald man's spine. He realized how reckless he had been—if not for Brian Carter, many, many people might have died this time.
"What are you standing around for? Go check if he has any accomplices on the plane!" Brian Carter roared at the bald man, spitting as he shouted.
The bald man was at least in his thirties, while Brian Carter was only seventeen. The age gap was so large that, under normal circumstances, Brian Carter should be calling him uncle.
But now, the situation was completely reversed. The big bald man nodded vigorously at Brian Carter's command and rushed toward the economy class in the back. Brian Carter stood in the center of the cabin and shouted to the still-shaken passengers, "Everyone sit tight and don't move!"
He yanked the flight attendant, who had collapsed on the floor, to her feet. "Hurry, take me to the captain!"
The flight attendant forced herself to stay calm and led Brian Carter to the cockpit. When the two pilots heard what had happened in the cabin, they nearly fainted. "Hijacking? What on earth is going on?"
"We need to land at the nearest airport immediately and do a full check for any other threats on board!" Brian Carter said urgently.
"Alright, we'll reach Honolulu Airport in twenty-five minutes. I'll notify the ground crew right away!" the bearded captain replied hurriedly.
……
The bald man stayed in economy class to patrol, while Brian Carter made a round through business class and the non-smoking first class before returning to the cabin.
The passengers kept their distance from the two corpses, every face pale and grim.
The two beautiful flight attendants, forcing down their fear, poured strong drinks for the passengers to calm their nerves, but their professional smiles were nowhere to be seen.
Brian Carter took two glasses of whiskey and sat down next to Andrew.
"Are you alright?" Brian Carter handed one of the drinks to Andrew, who downed it in one gulp, his expression easing a little.
"Thank you, thank you." Andrew kept thanking Brian Carter.
"Honestly, I was scared too," Brian Carter said with a smile.
"Really? You did great just now. If it were me, I doubt I could have stayed as calm as you," Andrew said frankly, not hiding his admiration for Brian Carter.
"Alright, enough about that. What's in your suitcase that's so valuable it made these people try to hijack the plane?"
Andrew hesitated for a moment. "I really shouldn't say, but you saved my life. I can't keep it from you."
He glanced around. The other passengers were still lost in relief after the ordeal, paying no attention to the two of them.
"Do you know about prehistoric ruins?" Andrew leaned close to Brian Carter's ear and whispered, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
Chapter 0010: Ancient Civilization
"Do you know about prehistoric ruins?" Andrew leaned close to Brian Carter's ear and whispered, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"You mean the Mayan civilization?"
