Chapter 896 The Aldridges
At 7:30 AM.
30,000 feet above the South Panacea Ocean, 4,000 nautical miles from Qacalisle Island.
A private Airbus A380, the most expensive private business jet in the world, flew directly to Duskhaven Airport on Qacalisle Island at a speed of 600 miles per hour.
Escorted by a squadron of ten F-35 Lightning II fighter jets, and a C-130 logistics transport aircraft.
On board, the 500 million Airbus A380 was Felix Aldridge, the head of the world's most exclusive and secretive aristocratic family, along with his team of assistants.
The aircraft was equipped with two levels and living spaces for up to 300 people, as well as an office, conference room, gym, and entertainment room.
At this moment, the conference room was occupied by Felix, his three senior assistants, and his only granddaughter, Luella.
Last night, Luella learned that Robin had arrived on Qacalisle Island to attend the Qacalisle Summit Meeting and immediately informed her grandfather.
Felix worked late into the night, ensuring all matters were arranged.
This morning, he flew directly to Qacalisle Island with his team of assistants and the family's elite security.
Felix's main goal for this trip was to meet Robin.
Back then, his old rival, Ernst Cesar, had enlisted the Urbs wizard to cast three blood curses on the Aldridge family.
The first two curses had come true.
The third curse was about to reach its deadline.
This curse concerned the life and death of the Aldridges' only heir, Luella.
Felix, willing to set aside all other matters, was determined to reach Qacalisle Island.
Luella checked the time, then the navigation distance, her impatience growing.
"Grandpa, what kind of lousy plane is this? It's too slow! We've been flying for so long and we're still not there. Just change it already!"
Felix asked his assistant and, upon learning there were still 180 miles to go, he smiled.
"Luella, this is the fastest private jet in the world, cruising at 620 miles per hour. And you're calling it slow? Should we take a rocket to Qacalisle Island instead?
"Be patient," Felix said sternly, noticing her growing impatience. "We'll be there in just half an hour.
"I've told you before, Luella, that no matter how urgent something is, you must learn to stay calm. You can't be this impatient!
"The future of the Aldridges will one day be in your hands. With your rash behavior, how can I trust you?
"Always remember, every choice you make will determine the fate of the Aldridges!"
Luella nodded apologetically. "Grandpa, I'm sorry. I was too impatient. I just really want to meet Mr. Ramsey."
Felix took a deep breath. "Luella, I want to meet Mr. Ramsey too. He's the only friend I have in this world.
"What's even more important is that only Mr. Ramsey can save the future of the Aldridges."
At this point, Felix turned to look at his assistant, Darson Dale.
This man, in his fifties, had been by Felix's side for 35 years.
He knew Felix's thoughts and actions as if by instinct.
"Sir, are you asking for the information on the Qacalisle Island's chief manager?"
Felix nodded. "Darson, who is the current chief manager of Qacalisle Island? And when did they take office?"
