Once the members of the Banks Family were secured, the Japanese Self-Defense Forcesmenced efforts to clear the area and restore order at the airport.<fn376a> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? f?ndnovel</fn376a>


    They first brought in three buses, reinforced with steel protectives on the windows, and under the vignt watch of the self-defense team, everyone—including Xion—boarded one by one.


    To minimize the risk of escape, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces ced two sets of handcuffs on each individual, in addition to further restraints.


    Moreover, the forces ensured that the individuals were scattered and assigned a guard to each person.


    The seating arrangement on the bus consisted of two seats on either side. <h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Consequently, each member of the handcuffed Banks Family was positioned next to the window, with a member of the self-defense team, armed and ready, seated next to them to eliminate any chance of escape.


    Additionally, ten armed self-defense personnel were stationed in the bus aisle to monitor all the detainees. Any signs of trouble would be met with immediate and lethal force.


    Xion, leaning against the window with a pale expression, gazed out through the steel protective. The airport was brightly lit, and she should have been boarding a ne to return home. Instead, she found herself trapped as a prisoner, unable toprehend where things had gone wrong. One thing was clear to her: escape was not an option this time!


    After some time, all the men from the Banks Family were ushered onto the bus by the self-defense team. The three buses then began to move slowly, escorted by ten wheeled armored vehicles, leaving the airport behind. To prevent any incidents, the Japanese Homnd Security Department had decided to transport the more than 50 members of the Banks Family to a Self-Defense Forces station in Osaka.


    This station was heavily guarded by tens of thousands of soldiers, making it virtually impossible for anyone to mount a rescue. As the bus departed, it passed by the Gulfstream ne that Charlie was on. The small aircraft, with around ten seats, had a low fusge, which made it easier for Xion to see it from the bus.


    As they drove past the Gulfstream, Xion caught a glimpse of the cockpit,paring it to the cab of an off-road vehicle from an ordinary car. Despair washed over her as she leaned against the window, but then she spotted a familiar figure in the cockpit of the passing ne.


    Her heart raced with anger as she recognized the man who had sat next to her during the flight from Tokyo to Osaka.


    “Why is he on a private jet?”


    “And why is it behind our ne?”


    “Why does he look at me as if he’s mocking me?!”


    “And why did he pretend to be an ordinary passenger on the ne?!”


    Countless questions flooded Xion’s mind.


    She suddenly realized that the person who had likely leaked her whereabouts was the Chinese man who had flown to Osaka with her!


    Xion couldn’t help but wonder, “Who is he?!”


    Meanwhile, Charlie, unbothered by the fact that Xion might recognize him, continued to gaze at her from the bus with a mocking smirk.
