Chapter 78 Departure
Laura and Robert repeatedly warned Samuel about protective measures; Kenneth was not very interested in those but gave a few encouraging parting speeches. Margaret fully trusted Samuel, so they only hugged. While others also told him to take care, unlike the first few, they were not worried about a short trip. Besides, Oscar and others will be there.
" Someone will pick you up when you land, so don\'t worry, and have a safe journey," Robert said.
" We should go to the airport to send him off," Laura said worriedly.
" No, leave the boy alone. It is his first trip and his first decision to go out alone. We should respect his privacy." Patricia held her back as she would surely rush out and follow Samuel for the trip.
" Don\'t worry, Aunt, Samuel is strong. He is adapting faster and faster; you should come to see his morning sessions sometimes." Peter chimed in, but it backfired.
" I never agreed with his decision to train; why does a little boy have to train so hard growing up? It would be best if you let him have a normal childhood. He is working too hard!" Laura protested.
" Samuel is special. Besides, he likes it. It\'s not like we are forcing him to do those things." Robert talked some sense to her.
" Yes, he is a genius. You should have seen the new paintings that he is doing. How can he do everything? He is extraordinary." Donald spoke precisely what everyone was thinking.
" Why are you all worried about him? He needs some rest and is going on the trip precisely for that. Let him be." Kenneth made the final declaration to stop the discussion.
Everyone watched Samuel speeding away with a large convoy of vehicles following him. It made him uneasy, they were sending twenty cars at first, but after Samuel\'s protest, they reduced it to five.
" They truly worry about anything I do," Samuel muttered, but Oscar heard it.
" It just shows that they care about you that much," Oscar said with a satisfied smile which made Samuel smile too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Samuel was already sitting in the car alongside Adele and Hannah. Their mothers were also coming along to send them off. During pickup, it was hard for Samuel to see the look in their eyes, so he suggested they come along, but their children didn\'t want to share the ride with them. It took less than an hour.
They quickly took refuge in the car Samuel was riding on. Hence the current situation. They were chatting among themselves, especially Hannah; she was beaming with happiness. Her wish was finally coming true, and she also made plans for the trip.
Adele and Hannah discussed and held meetings to plan their trip around the amusement park, Iblis would also attend some of the sessions, and they would use Moore\'s family restaurant as their base.
Iblis was crucial for the plan as Karoline always came with her; she was the information source. But it took work when Iblis asked Karoline about the park layout; she presented the complete blueprint and sensitive information about the park in the meeting.
Karoline, although a strong individual, never dealt with little children. So, her knowledge needed to be improved in that area. She later corrected her mistake by consulting Hannah\'s mother; the plan went smoothly with her involvement.
Samuel is listening to the girls talking secretly and smiling; seeing their happy faces makes him glad too.
During their discussion, Oscar reported that the Plane could take off any time.
" What about Iblis?" Samuel asked.
" I confirmed that Miss Iblis has already arrived and is waiting for us in the lobby," Oscar said.
We went and received Iblis at the Lobby, Iblis\'s trip partner Karoline was also there, and this time there were no other people with them. It was odd, but Samuel didn\'t dwell on it for long, but it didn\'t go unnoticed.
" We plan to travel light for this trip; I have already coordinated with your staff for luggage," Karoline answered.
" Nothing dangerous, right?" Oscar asked suspiciously. He still didn\'t trust her fully.
" I don\'t know what you are talking about. Do I look like the person who would do something like that?" said Karoline innocently.
" Definitely !" Oscar retorted in his mind but kept a calm expression.
" Yeah, you don\'t look ALL THAT MUCH." Oscar clapped back, which made the smile instantly disappear from Karoline\'s face.
They started arguing while Samuel took the others to the sitting area. It was a regular occurrence whenever these two meet. Usually, Oscar never lost his excellent, but with Karoline, he was never himself.
" Why do they always have to fight whenever they meet?" Samuel said.
" I don\'t know; I have never seen Karoline worked up about anything other than Oscar," Iblis said.
" Father and mother also fight all the time; they told me that\'s how you tell that two people love each other." Hannah dropped a bomb unconsciously while looking around the posh interior. She is enjoying new environments and experiences.
Everyone else looked back at the arguing \'couple\' with suspicious eyes.
" Maybe they are flirting?" said Adele surveying them.
" and don\'t know about it?" Samuel said, finishing the sentence.
" Leave them be; nothing good will come out of it." Iblis diffused the situation.
They met up with the parents; they already knew about Iblis, so they greeted each other and waited for the Plane.
In the VIP room of the airport, the two parties sat down and waited for the final adjustment of the Plane before take-off.
A good time to have a formal chat after relaxing.
A good time to have a formal chat after relaxing. Samuel was again reminded of all the dangers and their worries. Adele\'s mother, Penny, is distraught. They were in a completely foreign place, it was completely different from their usual, and she was concerned about her daughter.
Initially, Penny saves some money for Adele\'s future studies, but she expulses a little for her daughter\'s happiness and buys suitable clothes for the trip. It was not a problem with Moore\'s family as they were a little well off, but these things never concerned them.
She didn\'t want her daughter to feel left out; seeing how Iblis and others treated her made her mind relax.
Penny looked at the two people with a smile while smiling. For Samuel, Penny\'s senses are excellent.
And she didn\'t object to Adele\'s relationship with Samuel but was worried that Samuel was too good after all.
However, this is the daughter\'s own choice. As a mother, she can\'t interfere too much.
They chatted until a sweet-looking stewardess reminded them they could board the Plane.
Airbus A380 parked quietly on the tarmac. It is a humongous plane that seems to fit a hundred people. Samuel initially doubted Oscar, but when he later confirmed, he could only look helpless in the face of it.
" It is a new prototype, and only three have been made so far; the company is set to release this version in the later part of 2003," Oscar informed about the specifics, which only made Samuel more baffled.
" They meant it when they said they would take care of it," Samuel said to Oscar. Oscar informed further.
The Plane is 73 meters long and has a wingspan of 80m. It has more than five hundred seats which seemed excessive. The maximum flight speed is 1,100 kilometers per hour, and the full range is 43,000 feet. It is truly a monster of a plane.
" Why the huge Plane? I reckon we have many planes. A smaller one would be good, right?" Samuel asked.
" It is heavily modified with everything necessary for your daily life. The family thought you would need all the comfort when you are away from home." Oscar said expressionlessly.
" When did we acquire the Plane? " Samuel said suspiciously.
"A few days ago," Oscar said.
" I KNEW IT," Samuel said but left it at that.
Everyone walked toward the Plane, modified according to some rich mansion. It has a top calfskin pavement interior, adding to its luxurious feeling.
You can get better relaxation during the journey with customized ultra-luxury massage first-class seats.
It also has a more advanced aviation system than current civil airliners, and its safety performance is highly guaranteed.
The crew was already waiting in line next to the Plane.
The chief and deputy captain, three flight attendants, and a dozen other people. Large Planes need more people to maintain.
Everyone was a little curious when taking a private jet for the first time, except for Iblis and Karoline, but they were also intrigued by this scenario. They had never traveled in such a luxurious plane. Even Iblis had never heard anything in her family owning such a plane that spoke volumes about Samuel\'s background.
She began staring at him, contemplating his background. She had never cared about his history before, but her curiosity grew more and more every day.
Sensing all the gazes, Samuel specifically signaled the crew to take everyone to the cab for a tour.
Sitting on the luxurious massage first-class seat, Samuel couldn\'t help but sigh.
After a few minutes, everyone came out. Adele and Hannah parted with their family members and boarded the Plane.
Airbus A380 accepted the tower\'s instructions and slid into the corresponding runway to wait for takeoff.
With a strong feeling of pushing the back, the Plane suddenly accelerated, the nose lifted and flew into the blue sky.
