Unaware that Leon was eyeing him hungrily, and not knowing that his secrets had been uncovered, the female journalist started chatting with the hijacker girl after a few exchanges.
"I remember, when your brother first entered the VIP cabin, he fired a shot at the panel above, right?"
Recalling the previous situation, the female journalist curiously said:
"That shot scared the passengers, but after Leon checked, didn’t he say that you two had fake guns? So how did the panel break?"
"Because I had prepared a lump of plasticine mixed with glycerin beforehand."
Although she wanted to talk seriously first, seeing the journalist’s eager face, the hijacker girl reluctantly explained:
"That stuff explodes when shaken and is often used for mining. I stole a little from the mine, mixed it into plasticine, and secretly stuck it on when putting away the luggage.
My brother’s gun was a toy, but it could shoot marbles. As long as he aimed at the lump of plasticine and shot, the panel, which was thin glass, would shatter directly, looking like it was shot by a gun."
So that’s how it was...
After her doubts were cleared, a satisfied expression appeared on the journalist’s face. Probably due to her professional curiosity, she couldn’t help but ask further:
"By the way, how did you come up with this method? Did someone teach you?"
"No one taught me, I learned it myself..."
Though anxious to negotiate terms quickly, the move where Leon exposed her secrets earlier caused significant psychological pressure on the hijacker girl.
Afraid to speak to Leon directly, with the journalist being her only hope, the hijacker girl quelled her sense of urgency and patiently accepted the interview, saying:
"Our family are Cheshire miners, where one of the Crolock Kingdom’s hover crystal mines is. I learned a little from watching them mix glycerin with clay to mine since childhood."
Seemingly fond of this cute girl with a sweet tongue, the journalist affectionately patted her head and continued to inquire softly:
"Besides your brother, do you have anyone else in your family?"
Hearing the journalist’s question, the hijacker girl’s expression darkened, and she replied with cold eyes:
"But she’s probably dead now. Her lungs are full of dust from the hover crystal mine area, she was already beyond saving before we escaped."
Surprised by the answer, the journalist’s expression froze slightly, then she said apologetically:
"I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was ..."
"It’s okay, we’ve accepted this outcome long ago."
If you’ve already accepted it... then why hijack the Sky Clipper?
Seeing the unique stubbornness in the hijacker girl’s eyes, the journalist fell silent, then couldn’t help but look at Leon with a pleading gaze.
Is she telling the truth? If so, can you let them go and not pursue the hijacking of the Sky Clipper?
What... why are you looking at me like that?
Confused by the journalist’s gaze, Leon, who was fiddling with the lie detector horns, glared at her annoyed.
Darn it, I’m a good person too! Don’t make it look like I’m ruthless and out to get them! I never said I would do anything to them from the start, did I?
These two people seem... not bad?
Noticing the exchange of glances between Leon and the journalist made the hijacker girl bite her lip slightly, then she clenched her fists tightly and lowered her head, saying softly:
"I don’t know what you want, but if you’re looking for Crolock Palace’s location, I’m willing to stay and help as long as you let my brother go."
"No way! I don’t agree!"
Unable to hold back, the hijacker brother shouted anxiously, arching his upper body while pouting:
Stuffing a handkerchief into the hijacker brother’s mouth to silence him, Leon pulled over a box to sit on, rubbed his throbbing temple, and asked:
"Let me summarize... So basically, Crolock Kingdom is mining hover crystals in your hometown, causing you to become orphans, you managed to escape from the mines, and now you want revenge against Crolock Kingdom... Is that about right?"
After hearing Leon’s words, the hijacker girl nodded, then replied with eyes full of hatred:
"I read in a book that Crolock Kingdom is closed off from the outside world, almost impossible to enter by land, except for a few irregularly open harbors, only Sky Clippers can reach there.
After discussing with my brother, we sold the two small pieces of hover crystal we stole when escaping, bought tickets for the Sky Clipper and these things, planning to avenge our grandmother and all the people of Cheshire!"
Hearing this, Leon couldn’t help rubbing his forehead. Although soul vision proved the hijacker girl spoke the truth, he still frowned and pressed on to prevent any oversight:
"How long have you been escaped from Cheshire?"
"More than two years."
"Then why didn’t you think of revenge at that time, and why are you suddenly ready to act now?"
"Because earlier, we didn’t know how to take revenge."
The hijacker girl said sadly:
"We live in Creekwood Town outside the Royal Capital, not far from the Boarding Tower. Last month, when rebels attacked the Boarding Tower and burned the Sky Clipper, we could see the over 100-meter fireball from where we lived, inspiring my idea for revenge."
Good grief, you actually got your revenge inspiration from me...
Feeling helpless, Leon asked a few more questions but found no suspicious details, leading him to sigh and question the world will’s reason for "arranging" this hijack.
Given the hijacker brother’s antics, it was impossible to harm him, but the hijacker girl’s tragic circumstances left things uncertain.
If he dug out more troubling facts, like uncovering Crolock Kingdom’s dark deeds under its prosperity, he would inevitably be drawn into a massive dilemma...
"Let’s talk about something else first."
After untying the hijacker girl, Leon, mindful of his headache, asked:
"I understand why you hijacked the Sky Clipper. Now can you tell me how you plan to find Crolock Kingdom Palace’s location."
Upon hearing Leon’s question, the hijacker girl hesitated slightly, not answering immediately. Instead, she rolled up her sleeve, revealing a small section of thin, dry arm covered with dark blue blood spots embedded tightly in her skin.
