<h4>Chapter 150 Bad Pilot</h4>


    Rudy''s eyes were closed, and he couldn''t hear anything other than the sound of wind hitting him with high pressure. When he first learned to fly, that was his biggest obstacle.


    He couldn''t keep his eyes open, and it constantly teared up after a lot of pain. He couldn''t even keep the sense of direction he was flying, so at first, he decided to fly at slow speed and then learned to fly without any problem.


    However, the faster he flew, the harder it was to control. Especially when he was sleepy.


    In all that, Rudy was having a really long and bad day, which ended with him hitting an airne that was going tond at the airport a few miles away from him.


    "You have got to be kidding me…"


    Of course, Rudy was going to save the airne from crashing as he was the reason behind the damage to the airne.


    Rudy grabbed the broken ne wing and destroyed it into small pieces, so even if it fell and hit something or someone, it wouldn''t damage anything.


    After that, he followed the smoke and spotted the ne slowly declining the flying area limit.


    "If I mess this up, they all die…"


    Rudy flew to the air n and ced his hand on the damaged area. Then, he restored the ne as one minute hadn''t passed.


    "Well… that was anticlimactic…"


    Rudy didn''t know it would work as he had destroyed the broken wing, but he couldn''t care less about that as it was repaired now.


    Rudy flew above the clouds to make sure no one saw him fling around, and hoped that the ne wouldnd safely now. However, much to his surprise, the ne was still going down towards the city to the other side of the airport.


    Rudy activated his see-through ability to check what was stopping the ne from changing its direction again, but he couldn''t see anything wrong.


    He wasn''t a ne engineer, after all. So he couldn''t tell what was stopping the ne from flying up again.


    ''I guess I have no other choice…''


    Rudy interfered with the electric signals from the ne and hacked the frequency to contact the pilots.


    "Hey pilots, I am speaking from headquarters. There has been a sudden interference with the signals, so I don''t have much time to exin. Can you tell me what''s going on?" Rudy pretended to be an official.


    "Uhh… who are you? Can you prove your—"


    "How is that going to help you in your current situation?!" Rudy yelled. "Tell me what''s wrong, so we can find a solution! Don''t forget that the lives of hundreds of passengers depend on your hands!"


    The pilots were hesitant at first, but they realized the emergency situation and reluctantly agreed to tell Rudy.


    "We don''t know for sure, but the system showed that the right-wing was damaged, and we lost our engine. The backup engine started on time, but it failed to keep up, and now it''s not restarting," the pilot said.


    "What''s showing on the radar?" Rudy asked curiously.


    "Huh? What does that have to do with—" The pilot suddenly stopped on his words when the ne started moving upwards.


    Rudy did that to distract the pilot, so he could get past the airne and force it up from below.


    "What''s happening?!" the pilot panicked. "The engines are still stopped, but the ne is moving upwards?!"


    "Pilot, I have good news for you," Rudy said in a raspy and stuttering voice to make it look like they were losing a signal.


    ''I did fix the damage, but I couldn''t revert the data in the system, which is still registering the ne is damaged. And that''s the reason behind the glitch in the system.''


    "I can''t hear you!" the pilot yelled on the microphone.


    "There is nothing wrong with the ne. The system has malfunctioned, and it''s showing false data. I repeat, the ne is perfectly fine. Please calm down andnd the n as you are supposed to," Rudy said in a rather calm voice to make it more convincing.


    "But if that''s the case, I can perform a system check up and restart it. It should remove the glitch and fix the—"


    "Do you have time for all that, pilot? Just do what you are told."


    This time, Rudy spoke in a clear tone to make it look like the connection was getting strong.


    While flying the ne towards the airport, Rudy tried to perform a restart of the system, but his mental strength was too weak to do that.


    Rudy had no choice but to carry the ne to the airport andnd it safely. Otherwise, he could be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent people.


    Sure, it wasn''t as though the government would catch Rudy or even doubt him, since he could easily survive and flee from the ne crash. But he wouldn''t be able to live with the guilt.


    Rudy didn''t have any energy left, so he closed all his body processes to minimize the use of his brain, and focused everything on the super strength.


    After flying to the airport, the wheels of the airne came out and Rudy slowly lowered the ne.


    As the ne got closer to the surface, Rudy grew anxious, as he had no idea if that would work or not. Furthermore, in his past life, Rudy had seen manyption videos rted to ne crashes on the inte, which made him even more anxious.


    Fortunately, Rudy managed tond the ne safely without any casualties or signs of damage to the ne.


    It was night, so Rudy didn''t have to worry about people seeing him, and even if they did, they would see a half naked man standing under the ne.


    "...."


    After catching his breaths, Rudy sighed in relief and soared to the sky. But this time, he made sure to keep his eyes open, even though his vision was getting blurry.


    When Rudy reached Alice''s house, he looked into her room through the closed ss window, and saw her sleeping on the bed, but her back was facing the window, so Rudy wasn''t sure if she was sleeping or simplyying down.


    KNOCK! KNOCK!


    Rudy knocked on the window, but Alice didn''t move. Seemingly, she had fallen asleep while waiting for Rudy.


    Suddenly, Angelica appeared upside-down in front of Rudy from the other side of the window.


    "...!"


    Angelicaughed out loud but noticed Rudy wasn''t moving. Confused, she passed through the window and hugged Rudy to make sure he was okay.


    Rudy hugged Angelica back and whisphered in her ears: "I will rest for a while…"


    "How… are we going back to your house then...?"
