Chapter 5 Birthday Presents
Three black sedans drove on a wide asphalt road.
In the sky, the sound of the propellers spinning can still be heard clearly even through the closed windows.
Escorted by Michael Bryce's security team, the Carl family embarked on a journey to London City Airport.
There were no cars in the way, the convoy was moving fast, and the fields on the outskirts flashed past both sides of the road, and it was impossible to see what was planted.
After an hour, the car drove into London, and the fields on both sides of the road gradually became densely packed with buildings, and there were more cars on the road.
The entire convoy slowed down, and in the driver's seat, Michael Bryce sat up straight.
Listening to the traffic information reported by the car in front and the air unit, Michael Bryce's eyes also looked back and forth at the buildings on both sides of the road without blinking.
Carl sat in the back driver's seat, between Nick and Louise, and looked at Michael Bryce in the front row with interest.
The car is custom-made, because I have considered the occurrence of similar situations, the car is very wide, the interior space is very spacious, and it does not feel crowded.
There was even room at Carl's feet to put a bird cage containing a black crow.
With Hela's previous experience, Hades did not resist in the slightest and went straight into the cage himself.
Through the rearview mirror, Michael Bryce glanced at Carl, who was sitting in the back row.
Originally, according to the bodyguard code, there should be almost no intersection between the bodyguard and the client unless there is danger.
Being a transparent person is the highest level of bodyguarding.
However, Michael Bryce didn't know what he was doing wrong, and from the moment he got in the car, he found that the boy didn't know why he was always looking at him.
Carl was looking at him at this time, and their eyes met through the rearview mirror.
Michael noticed that the boy smiled at him.
Maybe it's just curiosity, Michael Bryce thought.
Forcing himself to look back from the rearview mirror, Michael Bryce refocused on observing the road around him.
However, his mind involuntarily remembered the black eyes that the boy had just looked at him.
Very beautiful eyes.
Michael Bryce thought.
In fact, not only the eyes, but also the boy's facial features are very beautiful, and with that pure white hair, it is simply perfect.
But, somehow, Michael Bryce felt that these eyes were a little familiar.
Wait a minute!!
It's not like ordinary people, even if things are on their lips but they can't remember it anyway.
Professionally trained, Michael Bryce has his own way of remembering people and events in his memory.
He remembered where he had seen those eyes.
Just over an hour ago, that old man!!
Michael Bryce's heart chuckled.
He wouldn't have discovered anything he shouldn't know.
......
Soon, the convoy was fully driven into the city of London.
Instead of following a straight line to its destination, the convoy circled around the city under the command of Michael Bryce, following the A302, across Westminster Bridge, then turning right and heading for London City Airport along the Thames Victoria Embankment.
Famous landmarks such as the London Eye and Big Ben flickered past the car.
Finally, when the car arrived at its destination, Michael Bryce's watch hand pointed exactly to 10:45, and the whole journey lasted for an hour and fifteen minutes.
London City Airport is a small airport located on London Docks, right next to the River Thames.
There is only one runway in the whole airport, and the runway is not long, only 1,500 meters, and in general, it can only be used for small aircraft to take off and land, not to park large aircraft.
But today, a behemoth appeared on the airfield.
When the convoy pulled into the tarmac from the VIP tunnel, a Boeing 757-200 with a length of nearly 50 meters was already parked there.
The car stopped in the center of the carpet that had already been laid, and the carpet led to the first step of the passenger ladder, and the welcome railings on both sides had already been erected.
"We arrived, please get off. ”
Michael Bryce unbuckled his seatbelt and turned back to the Carls.
After that, the black-clothed bodyguard who had already prepared at the door of the car opened the door for the family of three.
Following Nick, Karl got out of the car with the cage containing Hades and looked up at the large plane not far away.
The plane's engines had started, and the roar reached Karl's ears.
Carl hadn't flown before, but it was the first time he had flown in this way.
Except for the two captains who were maneuvering the plane, all the flight attendants stood in front of the passenger ladder and boarded there with smiles on their faces.
Standing on the welcome carpet, looking at the plane and the crew below, Nick glanced back at Carl, letting his voice outweigh the roar of the engines.
"How's it going, son, how is this plane?"
Carl shook his head and didn't speak.
Carl has been in this type of aircraft in his previous life, the Boeing 757-200, a single-aisle narrow-body medium-sized civil airliner, which can be called a medium-sized airliner with the best applicability, not only has a long range, but can also adapt to almost any airport runway.
However, in order to reduce air resistance and increase the range, the fuselage was designed to be thin and long.
At the same time, in order to increase the lift, the front end of the nose is designed to be slightly lowered, and the overall look is a bit like a soft-shelled turtle with an extended neck.
In a nutshell...... It's ugly.
Unexpectedly, seeing Carl's reaction, Nick nodded in agreement.
"I also knew it wasn't pretty, so when they recommended it to your mom and me, the two of us turned it down. ”
"Oh. ”
Carl said dryly, with a blank face.
After an initial adaptation, he would not be surprised by what comes out of Nick and Louise's mouths now.
"So, son, you'll have to wait a little longer for your birthday present this year......"
"Oh. ”
Carl nodded, his heart unwavering.
......
......
......
Wait a minute!!
Karl's eyes widened and he looked at Nick incredulously.
"Birthday present?!What a birthday present?!"
"Your birthday present this year, of course, dear. ”
At this time, Louise, who got down from the other side of the car, walked around the two from the back end of the car under the supervision of her bodyguards, just heard the conversation between the two and spoke.
"Because we plan to let you enroll in a school in the United States, so in order to make it easier to run back and forth, your father and I plan to buy a plane to take you back and forth to school, and by the way, give you a birthday present this year. ”
"This type of aircraft is very good in terms of performance and price, and your father and I were about to choose, but as you can see, it's too ugly, so my father and I are going to help you pick and choose." ”
"Of course, if you have a favorite model, you can also tell us. ”
