"Hello, I need a ticket for the fastest flight to the Imperial Capital."
Not long after, Lin Fan arrived at Haicheng International Airport. He stood at the ticket counter and glanced up at the flight information on the large screen.
"Certainly, sir. The soonest flight is at 2:50 AM. Here is your ticket. Please keep it safe." After a few clicks on her computer, the pleasant-looking custor service agent handed the ticket and docunts to Lin Fan.
"Thank you." Lin Fan nodded, took his things, and walked alone into the waiting hall.
He had declined Yuan Youwei’s kind offer to use the Yuan family’s private jet, choosing instead to travel to the Imperial Capital discreetly. Firstly, he was afraid of alerting his enemies. Secondly, he didn’t want his trip to be too closely associated with the Yuan family. After all, what he was about to do could very well be a path of no return.
Ti ticked by. Even in the early hours of the morning, the waiting hall was still bustling with people rushing to and fro, creating a low hum of noise.
On a seat not far away, a sallow-faced, gaunt couple sat cuddling a bald little boy, their expressions etched with worry. A dical professional in a white coat stood beside them, drawing so attention.
ŸAn ergency hospital transfer to the Imperial Capital?Ÿ Lin Fan mused, then withdrew his gaze, lost in thought.
Just then, a boarding announcent echoed from the terminal’s speakers. Lin Fan calmly stood up and joined the stream of passengers heading for the boarding gate.
A few monts later, people boarded the plane in single file. Lin Fan found his economy-class seat and closed his eyes to rest.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... The cabin, which had been growing quiet, once again filled with noise.
ŸHas it been almost forty minutes already?Ÿ Lin Fan opened his eyes, pulled out his phone to check the ti, and frowned slightly.
"What’s going on? How much longer are you going to make us wait to take off?"
"Yeah! It’s the middle of the night! Why should we have to sit here waiting?"
One impatient man shouted loudly. Others stood up, pounding on their seats. The dical professional in the white coat had even approached a flight attendant and was speaking to her with great urgency.
The chief flight attendant, a middle-aged woman, stood in the aisle with an apologetic expression. "We sincerely apologize," she explained to the passengers. "This flight is delayed because a distinguished passenger from Goryeo has not yet arrived. Please remain calm and be patient for just a little while longer."
ŸWhat? The flight’s been delayed for over forty minutes just for so damn passenger from Goryeo?Ÿ
Upon hearing this, the cabin instantly erupted.
"On what grounds? If we miss our flight, we have to rebook, but so guy from Goryeo gets special treatnt!"
"Please, I’m begging you! My son finally got an appointnt, and we’re in a hurry to get to the Imperial Capital for his bone marrow transplant!"
Many of the passengers were furious, their angry shouts filling the air. The middle-aged couple looked particularly anxious as they approached the chief flight attendant, pleading with her.
"I’m very sorry, but he is a VVIP guest of our airline and holds such privileges," the chief flight attendant said, a hint of helplessness in her eyes as she continued to explain. There was nothing she could do. The man apparently had a powerful background—so powerful that even the airline’s upper managent had been alerted and had personally called to order them to wait. Although she, too, felt it was unfair, she had no authority to order an imdiate takeoff.
"What kind of person from Goryeo gets to enjoy superior privileges on the soil of our Xia Country?"
As a crowd surrounded the chief flight attendant, indignantly protesting, Lin Fan frowned, stood up, and walked over.
"Sir, please return to your seat and wait patiently," the chief flight attendant urged, her smile strained.
ŸThe situation has already sparked public outrage. If I don’t handle this correctly, I could lose my job!Ÿ
"I’m not waiting any longer." Lin Fan was silent for a mont, then took out his phone and opened his flight information. He swiped to his personal profile page and stared at a dazzling gold section, montarily lost in thought.
ŸThat electronic card... A girl had insisted on getting it for him many years ago. She had said that he could use this card to enjoy the highest priority treatnt on any airline owned by her family. He wondered if, after all these years, it still worked.Ÿ
"If I have this, can you take off imdiately?" Lin Fan asked calmly, holding out his phone.
ŸHe didn’t want to use so-called privileges, but he couldn’t just stand by and watch that poor couple with their sick child. More importantly, he refused to let so damn VVIP from Goryeo waste his precious ti.Ÿ
"This is..." The chief flight attendant hesitated but patiently took Lin Fan’s phone. When her gaze fell upon the dazzling golden electronic card on the screen, the helplessness in her eyes was replaced by utter shock. "I’m sorry! Please wait a mont while I confirm with my superior!" she stamred, her pupils contracting as she drew a sharp breath.
ŸThe legendary SSS-level Supre VIP Card! I’ve worked for this airline for over ten years and I’ve never seen one! It’s said that this supre electronic card is issued internally by the Imperial Capital Xia Family through the Qianqiu Airlines Group. They’re incredibly rare and grant the highest authority, custom-made for certain top-tier figures. It’s not just about ensuring a flight takes off on ti. If the cardholder demanded to arrive early, that request would have to be unconditionally fulfilled!Ÿ
The look she now gave Lin Fan was one of complete awe. Not daring to delay, she imdiately hurried toward the crew cabin to make an internal call.
"...What? The most prestigious platinum card within the SSS level? I... I understand. I will ensure our distinguished guest is satisfied!"
Hanging up, the chief flight attendant covered her mouth, stifling a cry of alarm.
"Sir, your card information has been confird. Besides taking off imdiately, do you have any other needs?"
A mont later, under the stunned gazes of the other passengers, the chief flight attendant scurried back to Lin Fan, holding his phone in both hands. Behind her, the entire flight crew, including the captain and first officer, had followed. They lined up in a row and bowed deeply to Lin Fan.
"Take off now. Get to the Imperial Capital as quickly as possible." Lin Fan took back his phone, spoke calmly, and shook his head before returning to his seat in economy class.
"Yes, sir! We’ll request imdiate clearance for takeoff from the tower!" the captain said, wiping cold sweat from his forehead, his smile more pained than a sob. The other crew mbers exchanged stunned glances, their hearts pounding in their chests.
Tonight was truly bizarre. By so fluke, they had stumbled upon a clash between two titans. And unfortunately for the other party, this young man nad Lin Fan clearly had the more profound background. One couldn’t help but marvel at his origins—they were simply unimaginable.
Amid the cheers and awestruck stares from the other passengers, the chief flight attendant crouched reverently beside Lin Fan’s seat. "Sir, would you like to be upgraded to first class?"
