Norton James was now looking utterly stupefied, and everyone who had witnessed the scene that afternoon couldn’t help but divert their attention to him. Recalling how Finn Lewis had called Norton James stingy that afternoon, and how Norton James had pretentiously carried himself then, everyone found this...indescribably humorous, staring at James from their perspective which seemed peculiar as never before.

Norton James felt hot all over his face now, and it seemed as though everyone was looking at him as if he was a massive idiot. In fact, it was pretty much the case since everyone was looking at him like he was a fool. Thinking about the incidents that happened in the afternoon, particularly the last sentence that Lewis said before leaving, everyone found the scene absurdly comical.

Finally, someone couldn’t help but burst out laughing. The only person who dared to openly laugh like that was Elegant Sky—other people did not dare to casually offend Norton James. Although Elegant Sky knew who James was, James didn’t recognize Sky.

Norton James felt as though there was a raging fire burning within his chest. He desperately wanted to vent, but he knew that he absolutely couldn’t lose his temper here; otherwise, the consequences would be severe. Swallowing the discomfort in his heart, he hesitantly spoke out, “Grandfather Davis, I’m not feeling well and would like to take a walk, so I won’t be accompanying you for dinner.”

“Off you go, off you go.” The old man was well aware of the reasons behind Norton’s discomfort. Forcing Norton to stay here would be worse than killing him, so the old man let him leave without hesitation.

Once Norton James was gone, his father naturally couldn’t stay either. He quickly said, “Uh, old man, I’ll go check on him,” and hurriedly followed his son. Grandfather Davis didn’t make a fuss about it, just gave a small shake of his head and let out a sigh before turning to go inside, with everyone following suit.

Once they stepped inside, the old man sat down in his seat, tapped his glass against the table, and addressed those in the room: “Look at you all! You underestimate others because of your myopia. Are you all speechless now? Have you gone dumb? This afternoon I already sensed something was wrong, if I didn’t say anything. Cypress Davis, did you know that Johnson’s grandson was here?”

“Dad, I, uh...I didn’t know about this,” Cypress Davis answered, laughing awkwardly.

“Well, don’t worry. I have a strong physique.” Lewis replied with a smile. Hearing Lewis’s voice, the pilot heaved a sigh of relief.

Lewis had already handed over the relevant materials to Zero for delivery. By the time he arrived in Celeston City, the goods would have arrived at the warehouse, so there was no need to worry. Even for this airplane, it would need an hour or two to fly back here, but the capabilities of these planes could not be compared to civilian aircraft. Within a few minutes, it had already climbed to over 10,000 meters in the sky.

“Mr. Lewis, we are now about to go into supersonic flight,” the Firebird once again informed him.

“Yes, you can begin. I’ve never been on a plane before,” Lewis replied, his voice eager. Indeed, the experience of riding a Thunderhawk was greatly different from being a passenger on a regular plane.

As Lewis’s words fell, he soon felt an immense push-back force. With the roar of the engine, Lewis suddenly felt an eerie silence, as though he had suddenly stepped from Earth into space, with absolutely no sound reaching his ears. He realized this was the effect once the plane reached supersonic speed.

Seconds later, the sound returned, and the voice came back as though returning from a far off distance, “Mr. Lewis, are you feeling uncomfortable?”

“No, it feels great. This experience is rather magical,” Lewis replied with a smile.

The pilot finally relaxed. It seemed Finn Lewis’s body was indeed as strong as he had claimed. The screening for pilots was indeed rigorous. Generally, people are unable to tolerate such strong acceleration. “By the way, I wanted to ask, this plane isn’t a plane, is it? Is it a trainer?” Lewis asked curiously.

Speed wasn’t something a commercial flight could compare to, especially the one Finn Lewis was on now, which was traveling at more than Mach 2. The plane landed at the Celeston City International Airport in less than an hour. However, the plane landed in an extremely remote runway, hence the regular passengers could probably not see it.
