"Thump, thump,"
Andy and his companion knocked on the door of the control room, and a flight attendant came over to inquire, "Sir, is there anything I can assist you with?"
The companion turned to the flight attendant with a grin and, without warning, extended his right hand, gripping the attendant’s neck as if it were a vice.
Andy frowned and said, "Mike, don’t cause a casualty, that will only bring us unnecessary trouble."
"Got it, so naggy," Mike scoffed as he pressed on the flight attendant’s head, causing them to faint and dropping them to the floor.
Andy continued to knock on the door, but the pilot did not open it.
He wasn’t in a rush, merely whispering through the crack of the door, "Captain, if you don’t open up, I’ll kill all the flight attendants."
The pilot had already seen what was happening outside through the surveillance and was quite anxious inside, having already contacted the police. But that was of little use, since this was happening in the sky, and the police couldn’t intervene for the time being.

"I’ll give you ten seconds to think, no response, and I’ll start killing, hmm, starting with this attendant," Andy began the countdown, "10, 9..."
The pilot was sweating profusely, the lives of everyone on the plane hinging on his decision, and at last, unable to withstand the pressure, he opened the cockpit door.
"Creak."
The two men exchanged a glance, smiled faintly, and entered the control room.
...
Li Xiaoyao was feigning sleep with his eyes closed, already sensing the two foreigners approaching him, toying with a weapon disguised as a pen in his hand. These two had concealed themselves well, but they couldn’t escape Li Xiaoyao’s sensory perception.
Their internal qi was strong, their cultivation level having reached the Abstinence Realm, but it was different from that of ordinary cultivators; these must be foreign Spirit Attachers.
Born with extraordinary supernatural abilities, they were considered to be possessed by the power of spirits.
However, Li Xiaoyao knew that this was not the power of any spirit; it was simply the human body exhibiting some atavistic or evolutionary phenomena.
Karl locked onto Li Xiaoyao immediately, squinting as he slowly approached. When the distance between them was three meters, Karl’s right hand, clutching the pen, slowly reached for Li Xiaoyao.
The bald man stood behind, his gaze vigilant, ready to handle any sudden situations.
"Do it," Karl’s eyes narrowed, a cold gleam flashing through, his right hand darting out like lightning, the pen aimed straight at Li Xiaoyao’s head.
His finger jabbed fiercely at the switch on the pen, but the anticipated scene of a poison needle piercing Li Xiaoyao’s head did not occur.
"Swoosh!"
A flash of cold light shone, and Karl felt a chill on his right index finger, followed quickly by intense pain shooting up from the finger.
Karl looked down to find that the finger pressing the switch had been severed at some unknown time, and blood was gushing out from the stump.
"Ah..." Karl opened his mouth to scream, but after emitting a single syllable, the sound abruptly halted, as if someone had seized his throat.
Li Xiaoyao was still sitting with his eyes closed, as if he had seen nothing.
And when Karl had drawn out the pen in that moment, Li Tu had reacted, opening his eyes only to see Karl pointing the pen at Li Xiaoyao.
Li Tu’s cultivation level was not low, but he was unable to stop the assailant in such a short span of time. So he could only watch helplessly as Karl made his move.
However, just as he was about to act, his finger on the pen was eerily severed.
The scene caused Li Tu’s pupils to contract, and he instantly turned to look at Li Xiaoyao next to him.
It had to be his doing, no one else could have managed it.
Another flash of cold light passed, and a thin line of blood appeared on Karl’s neck, blood continuously gushing out as his life force rapidly dissipated.
The bald man behind him was shocked by this scene and turned to run away.
As a mercenary and an assassin, the bald man had a precise judgment of danger.
This bizarre occurrence was something he could not handle, and staying would only put him in jeopardy. As for his comrade Karl’s fate, he had no time to worry about it.
"Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving," Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes, his two black pupils glinting with a chilling coldness. As he finished speaking, the bald man was horrified to find that he had lost control of his body.
"Ah!"
"Murder!"
The other passengers in the business class, seeing Karl suddenly collapse and die, screamed out, and panic spread instantly.
Li Xiaoyao frowned and said, "Li Tu, take care of this."
Li Tu casually took out an indescribable badge from his pocket, waved it in his hand, and said, "Everyone, calm down, I’m with the National Special Operations Agency. These two men are international fugitives, I am now ordering all of you to leave the business class."
The passengers couldn’t wait to leave the dangerous area, and within a mere ten seconds, only a few of them remained in the business class.
The bald man’s body, out of control, flew towards Li Xiaoyao, his eyes filled with terror.
He regretted why he had changed his strategy?
Even with rain, there was a certain chance that he could have blown up the plane. Why did he risk boarding the plane because of that slight chance of failure?
It was too late for regrets now; Li Xiaoyao’s power was evident, and he was surely not going to let him go.
"Were you sent by the Li Family?" Li Xiaoyao asked.
Upon hearing this, Li Tu trembled and immediately said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Don’t be so quick to deny," Li Xiaoyao stared at the bald man, waiting for his answer. Li Tu also stared at him intently; even he had not anticipated the sudden attack on the plane.
As for who sent these assassins, Li Tu more or less had a guess in his mind.
At this point in time, the person who seemed to be in such a rush to kill Li Xiaoyao could only be one person.
"The Li Family?" A trace of confusion flashed in the bald man’s eyes, which Li Xiaoyao accurately captured.
"Could it be someone other than the Li Family?" Li Xiaoyao also became confused. He really couldn’t think of anyone else who would be so desperate to kill him besides the Li Family.
"If I tell you, will you let me go?" the bald man asked in broken Chinese.
Li Xiaoyao sneered, "What makes you think you’re in any position to bargain with me?"
Undaunted, the bald man said, "If you kill me, my companion will kill the pilot, and we all die together."

"Damn it!" Li Tu exclaimed in shock, "You actually took control of the pilot!"
"Of course!" the bald man said proudly. "As a qualified assassin, one must always leave oneself a way out."
The bald man was an experienced mercenary who always left himself an escape route in everything he did.
"My companion has already taken control of the cockpit; if you kill me, we all die together," the bald man first threatened, then continued, "As long as you let me go, I will tell you who is behind the attempts to kill you. It’s a very fair trade."
Li Xiaoyao’s expressionless, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the round table. After a while, he said, "Tell me the mastermind, and I’ll let you leave."
