"I have already dealt with Dante. It is just that, this is going to grant us temporary peace. Maybe, tomorrow, there will be more trouble." Michael responded.
"More trouble? What do you an? Did you perhaps kill him? Will the police co looking for you?" John asked, puzzled.
"Yeah, he deserved it. But, the trouble that I am talking about is not the police. Instead, Dante had a cousin from the Phantom gang.
He had asked this cousin of his to co over today, and I dealt with them together.
Quite a few gangsters escaped, so, it is impossible for this information not to reach the phantom gang. I estimate, tomorrow, they will co looking for us." Michael responded as he gave an explanation.
John was completely dumbfounded. He looked at Michael, not believing that Michael had actually killed soone.
And from the way that he was speaking, it was as though he was not bothered at all that he had killed not just a single person, but two of them!
Of course, the old man did not know that Michael had killed quite a number of gangsters while out there.
Regardless, as the old man thought about it, he realized, this was the only solution.
There was actually no other way of dealing with Dante apart from this. Otherwise, they could just submit to Dante, because going against him implied being ready for death.
Even if they locked him in prison, he would still get out. If he was crippled, his cousin would co looking for trouble.
And if the cousin was dealt with, the Phantom gang behind him would co looking for revenge.
As for dealing with the Phantom gang, how would that be easy? Additionally, behind the Phantom gang, there was another bigger gang.
This would create an endless chain, to the extent that they would have to deal with the syndicates themselves.
But with what abilities did they have to be able to deal with the syndicates? For those syndicates, it was quite easy for them to be able to crush them.
John took a deep breath and said, "So, what should we do?"
"I have already thought about it. We will be leaving tomorrow. If possible, could you gather all those that can be brought back into the orphanage?
I will charter a few helicopters to take us out of here. This will happen tomorrow in the morning." Michael stated.
On the way, he had thought of a solution to the current problem.
With his current physical abilities, he really did not have to care that much about the Phantom gang. But of course, it would be a different matter if they targeted the orphanage.
The old man and his wife definitely could not deal with those goons. As for the children, they were even more helpless.
Now, the only solution that Michael could think about was to get them out of this city, go sowhere else.
So, while in the taxi, instead of reading, he had been looking online, finding where he could charter helicopters.
He believed, getting the helicopters was the easiest way of getting out of the city. As for using land transportation thods, it would be quite difficult, especially if the Phantom gang wanted to prevent them from leaving.
So, he had already decided to charter 4 helicopters, with each helicopter capable of carrying at least six people.
This orphanage itself was not that big, and the number of children within the orphanage was quite low.
After all, the orphanage ’business’ was not carried out by just the shadow assembly gang. Instead, several other guns did the sa thing.
Additionally, considering that John tried as much as possible not to receive many children in the past few years, currently, within the orphanage, there was only a total of 9 children.
Upon hearing Michael’s words, John was shocked. Michael had the intention of chartering a helicopter?
Additionally, it was not just one, but a few? Just how expensive would that be?
"Child, don’t be impulsive. I don’t know the price of chartering a helicopter, but it definitely is not cheap. Why don’t you use another thod of transportation?
Additionally, where did you get so much money from? Anyway, forget it, it is not easy for you to be able to earn money. If you have been saving all this while, it’s better for you to use the money for sothing more constructive." Rebecca suddenly spoke.
From her expression, it was cleared that she was worried about Michael.
Michael of course understood that the two of them found it difficult to accept sothing like this. After all, it was not going to be cheap to be able to charter a helicopter, not to ntion several of them at the sa ti.
"You don’t have to worry, I have already made the arrangents. Additionally, I have already paid, so I cannot be refunded. The helicopters will be here tomorrow by 8:00 a.m." Michael responded.
Rebecca and John could only let out a helpless sigh. They have not anticipated that Michael had already paid, and it was non-refundable.
"Okay. But next ti, please, don’t waste money like that." Rebecca said after a mont of silence.
"Don’t worry, this is the only ti. But of course, I have to make sure that you are safe. If it is for the safety of you and the children, then I don’t really mind spending more." Michael said with a slight smile, before he left the office.
As he reached the door, he stopped and said, "Could you contact those that have been away for so ti now? If they can co back by 7:30 a.m. tomorrow, it will be good."
After he said those words, he left, closing the door behind him.
The old couple looked at Michael as he departed, feeling slightly helpless, but at the sa ti, warm within their hearts.
They could tell, Michael really cared about them, which was sothing that they were happy about. At least, Michael was not soone who was ungrateful.
Michael on the other hand went back to the dormitory.
Actually, he had lied to the old couple. He had not yet chartered the helicopters.
But now, it was the ti to do that. So, he went online, searching for the chartering companies nearby, with helicopters available.
After a few minutes, he found what he was looking for. He found a company that was located about 120 km away from Drenn city.
Unfortunately, in Drenn city, there was no helicopter chartering company. So, he had to wait for the helicopter to co all the way from the other city.
Currently, on the platform of the company, Michael found that there were 6 helicopters that were available.
Michael selected 4 helicopters, 2 Bell 407, and 2 Agusta AW109. Each of these helicopters could carry at least 6 passengers, and with the four of them, they could carry at least 24 passengers.
Currently, within the orphanage, they are only nine children. Together with the old couple and himself, that amounted to 12 people.
During the ti that he had been at the orphanage, Michael of course understood that not many children had been there for quite a while.
So, by estimation, Michael believed that there might be about 10 or so people that would be coming over on the following day.
In that case, the four helicopters would be enough to be able to carry all of them.
Deciding on the destination of where the helicopter was going to take them, Michael decided to go with the best city in the eastern province, Brenton city.
After entering the details, including the possible number of passages, which he obviously put in an estimate of 24, the total cost for chartering the two helicopters was out.
For each Bell 407 helicopter, he would have to pay $7,560. As for the Agusta AW109, he had to pay $6,104 for each.
In total, Michael ended up spending $27,328. This was quite a considerable amount of money, but Michael did not even flinch when making the paynt.
Regardless, after he made the paynt, his account balance was reduced to slightly over $14,000.
Michael did not really care that much about this expenditure, considering that he had over 1,000 SP. If he really needed money, he could spend the extra 24.975 SP, which should be over $2.4 million.
After making the paynt, Michael went ahead and inford the children that they should be prepared, as they would be leaving on the following day.
Even though the children were quite confused about where they were heading to, Michael simply told them that they were heading to a good place.
He promised, it would be a place that they would not have to worry so much about gangsters coming to look for trouble with them everyday.
This imdiately cheered up the children, and they went to sleep, with happy smiles on their faces.
Michael on the other hand did not sleep. Instead, he decided to continue reading, trying to advance the driving skill to the advanced level.
At the sa ti, he did not want to sleep, just in case his estimation was wrong. If the mbers of the Phantom gang ca looking for him during the night, at least, if he was awake, he would be able to deal with them.
But the night went through without any events, and without knowing it, it was already the following day.
By 6:00 a.m., everyone within the orphanage had woken up. Additionally, two teenagers, younger than Michael, one of them being 17 and the other one being 16 years old, had already arrived.
They had been inford by John that they should arrive at the orphanage the first thing in the morning.
As for the reason why they should co over, John did not tell them. So, they were here, curious about the reason why they had been asked to co over.
"Mike? You are here too?" As soon as Michael walked out of the dormitory, the 17-year-old young man asked, surprised to see him.
