At this moment, the helicopter engine slowly started and then accelerated continuously, and soon, it began t o slowly take off.
Reuben thought, 'Well, I might as well take this chance to see what the view of Tokyo is like from the sky.’ 3
As he was thinking of this, he heard the woman's voice in his headset as she said, "No. 2 and No. 3, take off. No. 4 and No. 5, start your engines. No. 6 and No. 7, start preparing!" 4
Puzzled, Reuben thought to himself, 'What the hell? What's with No. 2, 3, 4, and 5? What is she talking about?'
As he was in puzzlement, his assistant who was sitting next to him pointed to the roofs of two other buildings on both sides of the window and said in surprise, "Mr. Moore, two helicopters are flying on the roofs of those two buildings, and they are exactly the same as the one we're sitting on!"
Reuben turned to look, and it was true!
There were two identical helicopters on the left and right sides taking off simultaneously and synchronously.
Those two helicopters were not only the same Super Puma model as the one they were riding but also the same fuselage painting, both with Ito Aviation’s
initials.
Astonished, Reuben asked, "Are these two helicopters also yours?"
The woman nodded and said with a smile, "Yes. They are our fleet convoy especially for you."
Reuben asked, astounded, "What do you mean by a fleet convoy?"
She replied, "It is to accompany you throughout the flight, just like the front and rear cars of a convoy on the road."
Reuben said with a somewhat bewildered expression," Uh... Is this truly necessary? Master Wade wouldn't break the bank for this, right?"
The woman answered, "Don't worry. Mr. Wade doesn't have to pay a penny."
Amidst his astonishment, the two helicopters that took off just now had already arrived in front of him.
The fleet had increased from three to five helicopters.
In no time, the two black objects that were the size of ants a distance away slowly enlarged in front of Reuben's eyes, and soon, he could easily recognize that they were two helicopters.
Those two helicopters also began to take off, thus, the fleet of helicopters had increased from five to seven helicopters.
This scene brought goosebumps all over Reuben’s skin, and he just could not understand what the hell Charlie was up to. Was it truly necessary to make it so
grand just to pick him up? i
Just as he was in his dilemma, he heard the woman say over the headset, "Two by two is too inefficient, so let's start four at a time next!”
