"Alright!.... everyone, settle down.

Make sure that you are all in your stalls with your doors properly secured.

Please also help our guests secure themselves in as well.

And as we ascend, please keep your arms within your stalls at all times." Landon said as he spoke with a loud megaphone in his hands.

He did this so that those on the other but air balloons could here him as well.

"Pilots!

Get ready for take-off, in 10....9.....8.....7.....6...5...4...3...2.....1... Go!!!!!"

'Druuuuuuuu!!'

Micheal and the rest immediately felt their bodies become heavy and heavy at every passing moment.

But that was not what was important to them right now.

They were flying!

They were really flying!

They looked at the trees go smaller and smaller in shock, and even felt like they were on top of the world for a brief moment.

Jasmine couldn't believe her eyes.

She looked down, and could even see a smaller version of the palace from way up here.

Amazing!

.

After they had reached a certain height in the air, the men all visibly relaxed, and soon started to converse and open up some of those weird things here.

After the battle... of course, they were somewhat hungry.

Micheal and the rest followed their actions... and opened up their bottles of water, juice boxes of apple juice and grape juice.... as well as their pringles and other snacks too.

They didn't know what these things tasted like.

So they decided to try all at once and see what they would eat in the end.

.

'Crunch!'

Raul bit into a pringle and nearly lost his soul.

How could it be this good?

He quickly gulped down a mouthful of apple juice and couldn't help but smile.

'Ahhh!.... how refreshing!' He thought.

Of course, Jasmine was the same with her son, as she too had never tasted anything better than these protein bars.

As for Micheal, after gulping down the water... he was completely taken aback.

How could water feel so clean and fresh?

One should know that even when they boiled their stream water to drink, it still didn't taste this good.... so how could this water be so different?

Micheal and his gang ate a bit, as they had truly been starving within the palace for a long time.

And of course, Jasmine didn't forget to feed her sick daughter..... as she quickly pried open her mouth and fed her with this clean water first.

.

As a mother, she wasn't comfortable leaving her sick daughter alone in one stall.... as she needed to monitor the girl's condition all through the night.

So she had asked for her daughter to stay with her in one stall.

Sure.... it would be tight as hell.

But she didn't mind, so her daughter was currently lying in a comfortable position on the stall's floor, while she stood up and enjoyed the scenery.

And once it was time to crouch down..... she would immediately place her sleeping daughter over her chest and sleep as well.

Time past by, and soon.... many of the soldiers went to bed, once they would have to get up during the day shift and cater for the rest.

Landon soon checked in with the family, and after ensuring that they were all set.... he instantly helped them place the breathable lids over their stalls and wished them a good night.

With that, Micheal and his family covered themselves with their blankets, adjusted their neck pillows, and soon slept away peacefully.

It had been a long but exciting night.

.

Landon went into his own stall, closed it up.... and quickly disappeared into his time capsule.

Why should he stress himself when he had a real bed within the system?

And besides, just 1 hour within the system was equivalent to 5 days' time.

So he could have all the night's rest that he needed as well as get some work done too.

Plus, he had a fridge in there with food..... so for sure, that would be where he would spend the night.

Nonetheless... if anything were to really happen, the system would immediately alert him before his soldiers did.

So he was sure that no one would disturb him for the night.

And just like how they had travelled to get here, they would also do the same when leaving.

So they would travel during the night and have their breaks during the daytime instead.

Time passed by quickly.... and just like that, the morning had come so suddenly.

.

6 A.M

'Crash!

Kamara shot a clay cup at the kneeling men before her in rage.

What the hell?

She had sent them out throughout the night to find and hunt down Micheal and that sl** Jasmine and her waste called children.

But what did she get?.... Nothing!

How did this even make any sense?

Even if Micheal and the rest had the upper hand by escaping earlier, generally speaking... their horses would need to rest after a bit.

And with that in mind, Kamara thought that they would catch up to them and capture them.

But to her surprise, they couldn't find a shadow of them anywhere.

Of course right now, if Kamara knew Micheal was already a 2-weeks journey by horse away from here..... she would definitely puke out blood and curse the heavens for their unfairness.

"Incompetent fools!

My brother and I feed you and take care of you so well.... yet you all are just a lousy bunch of good-for-nothings?"

'Crash!!'

She immediately shot another clay cup at the men in anger.

Dammit!

Her brother would be coming anytime soon.... so how was she supposed to explain the fact that his bride had run off with Micheal?

And why did the heavens choose to strike on this day of all days?

Kamara just felt that the heavens were too biased and favoured Micheal too much.

.

Dammit!

Since they had Micheal now.... they might soon come over and launch a full attack on her, so she had to be ready fast.

It looked like it would be the final showdown between her and Micheal.

But no worry, with her brother's help, who would dare to come in her way?
