Chapter 85
The man appeared to be in his twenties, with handsome features and a gentle expression in his
charming eyes.
“You are?”
He smiled gently. “My surname is York.”
Somberly, Pearl asked, “Why do you want to go with me?”
Raymond York flashed her a smile. “Well, I have flying experience, just like you. I think it’s better if we
work together,”
Pearl agreed because he seemed to be telling the truth.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtInside the cockpit, the captain was rather anxious, Both he and his assistant were relatively new to their
roles and lacked significant experience. Naturally, they were overwhelmed in a crisis like this, struggling
to find a solution.
When Pearl and Raymond rushed there, the anxious captain frowned upon seeing them.
“Why are you here?” The captain scolded them, worried because of their young age. “This isn’t a
playground. Go back to your
seats!”
Pearl took a step forward and asked patiently, “Hello, Captain. I have flying experience. Can I give it a
try?”
“You? You’re in your early twenties, aren’t you? This is a commercial flight, not your family’s private jet.
You better go back to your seat!” Naturally, the captain didn’t trust her and impatiently drove her out.
“You won’t know if you don’t let me try. Also, something is clearly wrong with the flight, and the plane is
on the verge of crashing. Do you want to see every passenger die with you because of your subjective
judgment?”
Raymond also chimed in, “Let her try. You’ve failed to resolve the crisis in two minutes, and the plane is
descending rapidly. It’s clear that your capabilities are insufficient.”
His harsh words struck the captain and his assistant with a heavy sense of guilt. They had called the
flight attendant for help because they couldn’t handle the crisis themselves.
Recalling this, they stood up and gave up their spots to Pearl and Raymond.
“It’s all in your hands now, but it’s fine if you don’t succeed. After all, you’re giving it your best shot,” the
captain said as he patted their shoulders and sighed.
Pearl abandoned her politeness and promptly took her seat to start managing the plane, while

“The fuel is sufficient, and the pressure is stable, but why is there an issue with the plane and its
trajectory?” Pearl was puzzled, unable to comprehend why a crisis had arisen when everything had
appeared normal.
After observing the indicators carefully for a long while, Raymond said slowly, “Could it be that
someone has tampered with the flight path settings?”
Shocked, Pearl asked, “Are you saying this was deliberate?”
Raymond pointed at the dashboard in front of him. “Look at the current flight path. We should be
heading towards Mosvil, but the plane is rapidly approaching the nearby mountains. Even if it avoids
the mountains, it will crash and explode.”
However, Pearl doubted him. “But this is a commercial flight.”
“So what? Any top hacker could alter a plane’s flight path settings.” Raising his brows, he added, “Don’t
tell me you’ve never heard of hackers?”
