Chapter 71 Defusing The Bomb
"Because of you, the boss sent me on this dangerous mission!" The bomber pulled his gun and aimed it towards Arlan's head, but just as he was about to pull the trigger, two shots suddenly hit the bomber. One directly left a bullet hole in his skull, while the other shot landed on his neck.
The bomber lost his strength and he felt his vision darkening. 'What's happening? I feel cold... Did someone just...'
The bomber took a few steps back and the detonator he was holding slid out of his hand.
Seeing this, Arlan quickly jumped towards the falling detonator.
Everyone stared at the scene in fear. If he failed to catch the detonator, the button might be accidentally pressed the moment it lands on the floor. Once that happens, all of them will die!
Before the detonator fell on the floor, Arlan caught it with his hand. He also prevented the bomber from falling. The bomb was tied to this guy's body and he was afraid that it might explode if it heavily dropped to the floor.
"Quick! Help me!" Arlan shouted to Karl and Khalon.
Khalon and Karl grabbed the dead bomber and gently placed him on the floor.
"I'll try to defuse the bomb." Khalon muttered as he inspected the bomb tied to the man's body.
"Be careful with it, buddy!" Karl reminded him.
Arlan stared at the flight attendants and said. "Take everyone to the first-class area. We will disarm the bomb."
"What are you guys doing?! Don't casually touch the bomb! What if that thing exploded?!" An agitated passenger screamed in terror.
"That's right! Are you trying to get all of us killed?!"
Panic spread among the passengers and everyone started screaming and complaining while pointing their fingers at Arlan's group. Even the flight attendants couldn't stop them from rioting.
Arlan's eyes flashed with killing intent. "You good for nothing pieces of sh*t! If not for us, this plane would have already exploded! Since you want to die so much then we won't defuse the bomb for you motherf*ckers!" Arlan shouted furiously. The ungrateful hearts of these people chilled his heart. He even put himself in danger for everyone, but they still blamed him for what happened.
Khalon stood up and glared at the passengers. Karl didn't want to hurt ordinary people, but he also found them unreasonable.
The passengers felt afraid when they saw their ferocious appearance. It was only then that they remembered that Arlan's group was armed. He also had the detonator in his hand.
In his rage, Arlan left the economy-class area and went back to the first-class area.
The flight attendants and the passengers didn't dare to stop them. They also felt ashamed of themselves.
"Wait, Sir! Everyone is only afraid and that caused them to panic. Please forgive them." A flight attendant tried to mediate the situation. She ran towards Arlan and grabbed his arm while staring at him pleadingly.
The rage in Arlan's eyes decreased when he heard the flight attendant's sincere apology. He took a deep breath and gave a signal to Khalon using his eyes.
Khalon knew what he meant. He walked back to the corpse and studied the bomb in silence. "I need a knife or anything sharp to cut off the wires. " He said to the flight attendants.
"Alright, Sir. I'll get one for you."
Soon, the flight attendant came back with a pair of scissors.
Arlan was confident about Khalon's skill. He programmed Khalon to be the most formidable warrior. His abilities surpassed even the best super soldiers in existence!
While Khalon was defusing the bomb, the flight attendants escorted the passengers to the first-class area.
Khalon wasn't like the cyborgs in sci-fi movies who had an arsenal of advanced equipment. His limbs couldn't transform into weapons and he didn't have the ability to fly in the air. His bones were made of high-grade metal and his skin was made from synthetic skin mixed with carbon fiber. This made him immune even to rifle rounds. He also had a bionic heart and brain which controls his overall system.
After more than ten minutes, Khalon finally defused the bomb. "It's done."
"Great!" Karl heaved a sigh of relief. He was nervous the whole time and his heart was still trembling vigorously even until now.
With the bomb under control, the plane managed to land safely at the airport.
The moment the plane landed, members of the bomb squad and the police came to inspect the situation. Arlan's group was also taken to the police station for some questioning.
"Mr. Roa, Sir Fabian sent us here to escort you." The leader of the police officers said after giving a snappy salute to Arlan.
Hearing this, Arlan smiled. "I didn't choose the wrong person. Take us to the station. I want to speak with Fabian."
"Yes, Mr. Roa!"

Arlan's group was escorted by the police officers to the Taguig Police Station. When they arrived, Fabian and a group of police came to greet them.
"It's good to see you again! I heard that there was a situation on your plane. Luckily, you guys managed to return in one piece." Fabian shook hands with Arlan.
"You saved our asses this time. We would have been detained if you didn't send your boys to fetch us." Arlan grinned at Fabian.
"There's no need to mention it. I still owe you a lot for providing me with that evidence." Fabian said as he brought them inside his office.
"Oh? It looks like something good happened to you when I'm gone." Arlan chuckled lightly.
"You're right. With the help of the evidence, we managed to get an arrest warrant for Senator Ramon. He is already under our custody, but I haven't spoken with him yet since the chief barred anyone from coming close to the Senator's cell." Fabian muttered while shaking his head.
"The station chief is preventing you from seeing him? That sounds suspicious to me." Arlan muttered with a frown.
