Chapter 1060: Plans For Ten, Please.



Alexander was already heading across the thirty-one-mile-long bridge that separated the airport from Macau. Kujaku insisted it was safer for them to pass through the Macau car customs than the Hong Kong ones, so they left in that direction.

Getting off the airport wasn't that hard, with their four cars marked as airport security, but the troubles were far from over.

It wasn't rare for airport security vehicles to leave the airport toward Macau, but it was odd for four of them to follow each other. So they had to ditch the cars soon.

Alexander wondered how they would pull that off on a bridge, but Kujaku grinned at him when he asked.

"How much do you know about the Zhuhai Bridge?"

Alex frowned a bit.

"Virtually nothing. I had to look up where Macau was just because I thought it was a Hispanic country," Alex admitted.

Geography had never been his favourite subject in school, and he would go as far as saying that it bored the hell out of his mind. Not that this was possible anymore, with the extra residents in there being demons and such.

The hell in his mind was there to stay.

Alexander chuckled as the thoughts flitted his mind, but he snapped back to focus when Kary slapped his thigh with the back of her hand.

"Hey! Focus. It's rude to lose yourself in thought when someone is talking to you."

Alex cleared his throat, turning his eyes back to the rearview mirror from which Kujaku was addressing him.

"Sorry. You were saying?"

Kujaku let out an exasperated sigh, since she had to repeat herself. But she wouldn't let this hinder her.

"I was saying this bridge is long. Crazy long. Fifty kilometres long, or thirty-one miles, for you Westerners who use imperial. And it is not entirely above sea level. Some parts of it are tunnel parts. That is where we ditch the cars."

Alexander frowned again.

"What? How?"

As he asked this, the car they were in started descending toward the water level, and he looked outside to see the sea swallow them as concrete walls surrounded them.

Kujaku's smile reappeared, knowing she wouldn't have to waste her breath explaining too much.

"You'll see soon enough."

Alex was confused by her confidence. He'd been in a tunnel bridge before.

A few of them, actually, and he'd never seen a way to ditch cars in one of those before. They were tunnels, after all.

Straight, solid tubes made of concrete and buoyant material, with an entry and an exit. How she would make four cars disappear in one of those eluded him entirely.

Kujaku grabbed a short-range transmitter and pressed the activation button.

A ping resounded in their car, and the cruise control slowed the vehicle down, almost jerking them from the sudden deceleration.

Looking out the window, Alex noticed that the other three cars sped up, one accelerating a little over the speed limit, or at least, as far as he could tell, faster than it should be going in a tunnel bridge.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The cars didn't take long to distance from each other, and Alexander understood what she meant.

But there was still a hiccup in her plan.

"How does this change anything? We are still going to reach the other side in the same vehicles," Alex asked.

Kary and Violette nodded, intently staring at their passports, memorizing the address written

on them.

Alex was impressed. Although he had given her less than twelve hours, she had come up with

so many solutions to problems that might arise.

"Did you do something like this for all ten of us?" he asked, curious.

Kujaku snapped her gaze back to him, an eyebrow raised.

"What do you think? I'm a professional, Alexander. I don't make mistakes."

"Yeah, well, you were on the wrong side of the Bastion City Siege," Alex mumbled mockingly.

"What was that?" she replied, her eyelid twitching.

"Nothing. I was saying how impressive this is," Alex lied, giving a smile that wouldn't have

flown in front of a blind person.

"Whatever," Kujaku grumbled, clicking her tongue in annoyance.

"Everyone has their story and their alibi for coming from the airport. I did my homework, got

all your group's names and was able to bend over my suppliers over the last twelve hours. You

owe me, big time," she commented, glaring at him.

Alex nodded.

He wasn't sure how she would ask him to repay this favour, but he knew he owed her and wouldn't skip paying her back. In a political situation like the current one, getting to Gu Fang was arduous, and she was pulling them through.

"I know, and I don't forget debts. Plus, you know I'm good for it," Alex chuckled. He thought about all the money his country had in New Eden and was confident they would eventually get back inside the game world. That alone was enough to repay any debt.

But there were so many other ways she could ask for repayment. Nonetheless, he was confident she wouldn't ask for anything too extravagant.

"We are arriving. Get ready to swap cars. And make haste. The longer we stay outside the cars,

the more cameras see us and the higher our risk of getting caught red-handed," Kujaku said,

seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Keys?" Kary asked, extending her hand.

"Here. Titanium grey sedan. Press the remote start to figure out where it is."

"Will do. What about you?" she asked, grabbing the keys.

"I have another vehicle to get to. You three are on your own to pass the checkpoint. I'll meet

you back on the mainland at this address," Kujaku said, texting her an address.

Kary nodded, entering the address on her navigation app.

As the car exited the tunnel, taking the ramp to head to the parking lots, Kujaku glanced at the

three of them through the mirror one last time.

"Good luck."
