Love at the 2004

Chapter 2004 

In the heart of Zovince, along the bustling airport road, four sleek black SUVS 

glided through the night, their engines humming softly against the backdrop 

of the urban symphony. Within the second vehicle of the convoy sat an 

elderly man, heavily bespectacled, who had closed his eyes to rest

Mr. Hale, we have arrived at the airport,a voice called from inside the 

vehicle, shattering the stillness that enveloped him. Slowly, the old man opened his eyes, revealing bloodshot irises that betrayed his exhaustion

He forced a weary smile, patting his face in an attempt to shake off the 

fatigue that clung to him. We’ve arrived so quickly? I had hoped to rest a bit 

longer. Thank you for your hard work.” 

As he spoke, a robust man seated beside him had already exited the vehicle

swiftly opening the door with a practiced ease

Thank you,the elderly man expressed gratefully as he stepped out into the 

cool night air

The muscular bodyguard nodded slightly, taking his place behind Mr. Hale

His sharp gaze scanned the surroundings, ever vigilant. As the distinguished 

official’s protector, his duty was to ensure his charge’s safety at all times

Moments later, a female aide clad in a crisp black uniform approached, her 

demeanor a blend of urgency and respect. Sir, the Northern Region General 

has arranged a security detail for you. The team leader, codenamed Wolf, is 

en route to ensure your safety during this trip.” 

Oh, is that so?Mr. Hale replied, his tone lightening as he considered the 

familiar rapport he shared with Santiago, the esteemed general from the 

Northern Region. Naturally, he accepted the arrangements made on his 

behalf. However, glancing at his watch, he frowned slightly. There’s still some 

time. I’ll head into the airport and wait for him before we board.” 

The bodyguard’s discontent flickered across his expression, but he chose to remain silent in the public setting, understanding the weight of his duty

As the group entered the airport, they made their way to a special waiting area reserved for their private flight. Around fifteen minutes later, Emmanuel

winded and hurrying, pulled up outside the terminal. Due to the rush, the 

hundredmember elite unit he had planned to escort had not yet arrived

Mr. Hale is already in the waiting lounge,Sage, who had been coordinating 

logistics, reported as he leaped out of the car, determination etched across 

his face

Emmanuel merely nodded and quickened his pace toward the terminal. The 

bustling Zovince airport, alive with movement at onethirty in the morning

pulsated with surreal energy. Shadows of passengers flickered beneath the 

harsh overhead lights, creating an almost dreamlike atmosphere in the 

otherwise tranquil night

Despite their urgency, Emmanuel and Sage adhered to the usual security protocols during the checkin process. As they stood in line, Emmanuel’s gaze wandered around the airport. He noticed two attendants clad in sleek black uniforms heading toward the exclusive boarding area for their private 

aircraft

At first, he dismissed them as just another part of the crowd. However, the 

51

Chapter 2004 The Mysterious Attendant 

confident stride of the pair soon ignited a spark of suspicion within him

Sensing something was amiss, he attempted to bypass security to pursue 

them but was swiftly halted

Sir, please follow the rules,a security officer admonished, his tone firm yet 

professional

Seeing the two attendants vanish from view, Emmanuel felt a swell of 

frustration. He turned back and quietly relayed his concern to Sage, Find

way to notify Mr. Hale not to board just yet.” 

Sage hesitated for a brief moment, his brow furrowing in thought, before 

quickly nodding in agreement

With time running short in the security line, Emmanuel spotted a chance 

amidst the crowd. Drawing on his remarkable speed, he slipped through the 

bustling airport, racing toward the private lounge where Mr. Hale awaited

At onethirty in the morning, Ethan glanced at his watch, concern etching 

lines across his brow. Why hasn’t Mr. Wolf arrived yet? I need to board.”

The female aide hurried over, her voice a hurried whisper. Mr. Hale, Mr. Wolf 

instructed that you should hold off on boarding until he arrives.” 

Really-Ethan felt a twinge of uncertainty, his thoughts swirling

Behind him, the muscular bodyguard finally broke his silence, his voice a low 

growl. Who does he think he is? What right does he have to dictate Mr. Hale’s 

schedule? This trip is crucial for the welfare of the people and the support of 

the national elections. We cannot afford any delays.” 

Ethan understood the significance of their timely arrival in Riverhaven. Any 

misstep could be seized upon by his two rival candidates, potentially 

undermining his standing in the eyes of the public. Yet, he also recognized 

the strategic acumen of the Northern Region General. As one of the 

highestranking officials in Chanaea, Ethan could surmise the weight of 

Emmanuel’s identity

This man was likely the legendary warrior from the Northern Region, known 

for his unparalleled victories in battle. The insistence that they postpone 

boarding suggested deeper motives, reasons that extended beyond the 

16:33 Wed, Nov 27 

Chapter 2004 The Mysterious Attendant 

simple necessity of waiting for his arrival

Mr. Hale, I’ll accompany you onto the plane. With me around, I can ensure 

your safety.” 

The sturdy man spoke with unwavering determination, his expression tinged 

with irritation. His name was Chester Collier. His father, Pierre Collier, had 

been hailed as the strongest bodyguard in the world. Tragically, Pierre had 

been ambushed and killed while protecting the former national leader, who 

had also fallen victim to the same attack

In an instant, the reputation Pierre had built over decades was shattered

leaving a profound impact on his family. As his son, Chester felt a burning 

desire to uphold his father’s legacy. He was resolute in his mission to protect 

Ethan Hale until the day he ascended to the esteemed position of national 

leader

However, the recent decision by the Northern Region General to assign

guard team to Ethan was a clear affront to Chester. It implied a lack of faith in 

This abilities, suggesting that, with him as the protector, Ethan was still not 

Chapter 2004 The Mysterio Attendant 

safe enough. The General commanded great respect, and Chester dared not 

offend him. Yet, the delay of Emmanuel, who had yet to arrive, ignited

simmering anger within Chester. Did Ethan truly need to wait for someone 

who might not even show up before boarding the plane

Very well” 

Ethan, a personable figure, had forged a solid friendship with the former 

national leader over thirty years. His bond with Pierre, who had diligently 

protected him for three decades, only added to the weight of the moment

Noticing the young man seethed with fury, Ethan decided it was time to 

board the plane and await Emmanuel. After all, his schedule was of utmost 

importance and could not be delayed any further

With that decision made, his female assistant and accompanying personnel 

followed him onto the aircraft

To their surprise, as soon as they settled into their seats, a flight attendant 

approached, accompanied by another staff member. She delivered the 

16:33 Wed, Nov 27 

Chapter 2004 The Mysterious Attendant 

unexpected news that the plane would be taking off fifteen minutes early

Why the early departure?Ethan inquired, furrowing his brow in perplexity

Mr. Hale, we’ve detected a weather issue along the route. To ensure your 

safety, we may need to alter our flight path, which would extend our travel 

time by an additional fifteen minutes. To guarantee we arrive on time, we 

must take off early.” 

The male flight attendant explained meticulously, a subtle smirk curling at 

the corners of his mouth, hinting at a sense of satisfaction in delivering 

unwelcome news

Is that so?Ethan’s frown deepened, his concern growing. Why wasn’t

informed of this sooner?” 

Mr. Hale, with your numerous responsibilities, we didn’t think it necessary to 

trouble you with such minor details. Our captain can make these decisions 

independently.” 

16:33 Wed, Nov 27

Chapter 2004 The Mysterious Attendant 

The attendant’s dismissive response left Ethan thoroughly dissatisfied,

sense of unease settling over him

51

His female assistant, sensing the tension, was poised to voice her discontent

ready to reprimand the attendants for their lack of professionalism. However

the flight crew turned and left without another word, leaving a palpable 

tension in the air

The aircraft doors sealed shut with a finality that sent a shiver down Ethan’s 

spine, and the engines began to roar to life, drowning out the last sounds of 

their conversation

This is bad,” he muttered under his breath, the knot of worry tightening in his 

stomach

At that moment, Emmanuel rushed into the airport terminal, his eyes 

widening as he spotted the plane beginning its taxi down the runway

Without a moment’s hesitation, he sprinted forward, leaping onto the wing 

with a determination fueled by instinct

16:33 Wed, Nov 27

Chapter 2004 The Mysterious Attendant 

For an ordinary person, such an act would be akin to courting death, but 

Emmanuel executed the maneuver with remarkable ease, his demeanor 

calm and collected amidst the chaos

With the plane departing early and the two figures who had appeared less 

than trustworthy still fresh in his mind, Emmanuel surmised that this 

connecting flight had to be riddled with trouble. He needed to find a way to 

ensure Ethan’s safety

The roar of the engines grew deafening, echoing around him like thunder

vibrating through the air. Emmanuel found himself exposed on the wing, the 

noise nearly overwhelming. Desperate, he shattered the nearest window and 

vaulted inside the plane, his heart pounding in his chest

What he encountered inside was utterly astonishing

In this section of the cabin, two men and two women, disguised as 

attendants and flight crew, were pulling components from their bags and 

loading bullets into makeshift handguns. The sight was surreal, shattering the 

veneer of normalcy that air travel usually held

As Emmanuel burst into the cabin, the atmosphere shifted dramatically. The 

air felt as though it had frozen in place, the tension thick enough to cut with

knife
