Chapter 731 Luke Crawford Is A Legend!
Bianca struggled to breathe when she looked at Tommy, whose face resembled Luke.
Pain spread throughout her chest. Every breath felt painful.
What followed the pain was sorrow and grief...
Luke had promised her that he would return safely, but it seemed that he would be going back on his word again.
Tommy could see from Bianca's face that she was not in a good mood.
He was not as naughty as before. Instead, he handed Bianca a napkin and said, "You're crying, Mommy. Wipey..."
The little boy tiptoed and tried to reach his mother's face so that he could wipe off the tears for her.
However, he was too short.
Dejectedly, he tugged the hem of his mother's sleeve and asked her, "What happened, Mommy? Don't ignore me.
Did I do something wrong? I won't ever make you angry again, Mommy. Can you please forgive me?"
The little cutie that was half his mother's height thought that he had gotten into trouble.
He was apologizing to Bianca, even though he did not know what he did wrong.
Bianca's gaze was transfixed on her son's face. Through it, she seemed to have seen her lover.
She was in a daze and did not realize that her phone was ringing.
Her expression was blank, as though her soul had left her body.
Tommy shook her arm and told her, "Your phone is ringing, Mommy. Is Daddy calling you?"
Bianca did not move. She smiled drily.

satellites could not even detect the plane?
Tommy saw that Mommy was not responding, while the phone in her pocket kept on ringing...
With his plump little hand, he reached into her pocket, took out the phone, and answered it. "Hello? Daddy, is that
you?" He said excitedly.
A low and resonant voice could be heard from the phone. "It's me, Tommy.
Can you pass the phone to your Mommy?"
Tommy was about to do what his father said when he realized that the phone in his hands was already gone.
Bianca looked at the phone screen with incomparable excitement. The call notification indicated "Hubby."
She spoke worriedly through the phone. "Is it you, Luke? Is it really you? Where are you now? I saw on the news
that your flight crashed somewhere near Mount Pleasant... God knows how worried I was. What's going on?"
Tommy felt a little dejected when he saw how agitated his mother was.
'Hmph, stupid Mommy. She ignores me every time she's worried about Daddy!'
Luke's voice was gentle and comforting. "It's really me, Bianca. There was an accident with the flight. Fortunately,
I'm familiar with the airplane and managed to control it before it crashed. I landed it at Fluvia Airport, and now I'm
resting in the lounge. I knew that you're going to be worried, so I called you.
In the VIP lounge of Fluvia Airport.
Luke gently comforted Bianca over the phone. He did not tell her that the flight was hijacked.
He knew that Bianca would always overreact whenever he told her that he was in danger. That was why he decided
to trivialize the incident.
Only he knew how perilous the situation was at that time.
The hijackers had installed a magnetic interference device on the airplane. All navigation and positioning systems
failed.
The airplane suddenly went into a 45-degree nosedive.
Everyone was fastened to their seats with the seatbelts, but it felt more dangerous than sitting on a roller coaster.
Ever since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, all cockpits of civilian aircraft had an internal lock that only the pilot could
access.
While the pilot and copilot fought with the hijackers, each of them received a bullet to their heart.
The engine in the cockpit had bullet marks. The gears were shattered.
The hijackers battered the cockpit with blunt objects. Fortunately, it was built out of aluminum alloy. Aside from
certain places that had the paint chipped off, it did not suffer any real damage.
Luke had learned many survival skills on the Island of Despair, which was why he could be calm when placed in
such a perilous situation.
It was difficult to regain control of the airplane, but he did it anyway.
He successfully landed the airplane at Fluvia Airport.
After that, the airline company and the police instantly arrived at the location to launch investigations.
The airline company was in charge of investigating the airplane, while the police investigated the hijackers.

There were ten hijackers in total. Luke killed five of them and heavily injured two.
Several brave volunteers on the airplane subdued the remaining three and handed them to the police.
All Luke wanted was to return to Bianca in A City as soon as he could.
However, he could not leave yet.
He had cooperated with the police to find out the identities of the hijackers and the organization behind them. He
was not going to let the mastermind get away scot-free.
The hijacking incident involved many influential people, including Luke Crawford, Darren Buffell, the ambassador
from Country F, and so on.
If the plane had crashed, it would have caused international economic and even political instability.
That was why many major and minor media outlets from all over the country flocked to the scene upon receiving
the news.
Of course, most of the reports were about Luke Crawford.
"Luke Crawford has single-handedly taken down the majority of the hijackers, and he managed to land the airplane
successfully despite the turbulence, the low temperature, and the failing equipment. That is an unbelievable feat,
and he is a legend! Even a pilot with decades of experience might not have been able to do that!"
A military analyst and aviation expert heaped praise onto Luke in an interview with the reporters.
While viewers from all over the country admired Luke, he had no time to rest.
He went to the police station first, and the superintendent warmly welcomed him.
He told the superintendent everything he knew, then returned to A City on the next available flight.
Even though he was tired, he did not allow himself time to rest. He wanted to see Bianca as soon as he could.
