"Ladies and gentlemen, now we are approaching Yogyakarta where the local time is 11.00 AM. At this stage, you should be in your seat with your seatbelt fastened. Personal television screens, footrests, and seat tables must be stowed away, and all hand luggage stored either in the overhead lockers or under the seat in front. Please ensure all electronic devices including laptop computers and computer games are turned off."
The black-haired man turned off the cell phone in his hand after hearing the announcement from the flight attendant. He had been flying for more than six hours, and the plane was finally about to land at the local airport.
Yogyakarta. He didn't know much about the city, and it was Chang Jianyu who suggested the city for him.
["It's a nice city in Indonesia. The people in the city are friendly, and the city gets great reviews on the internet. I'm sure you'll love the city!"]
He shook his head as he recalled the memory of when Chang Jianyu suggested the city to him last night. From his choice of words and tone, it seemed that Chang Jianyu was recommending a place to vacation rather than a place to hide.
However, he still accepted his friend's idea because he didn't know any cities in Indonesia. He learned about Indonesia while on the flight to the country, but he was still nervous because it would be his first time to be abroad.
He could speak English well, but he knew that people in the country didn't use English as their first language. It would definitely be challenging, but he was willing to learn a new piece of knowledge as long as he could live comfortably in this country.
Living comfortably? Could he live comfortably in the country? He hadn't even booked a hotel to stay in, and he had nowhere to go after the plane landed at the airport.
It was not a vacation. For him, the country was only a place to start using his real name instead of his alias.
He was no longer The Crow, but he was Wen Xiang now.
Wen Xiang sighed, but then he decided to direct his eyes to look down through the small window next to him.
His eyes widened when he saw the beautiful view of the sea under the plane that was carrying him. He lived in a big city, and he had never been to the beach in his life.
The calming blue was mesmerizing, and he couldn't take his eyes off the sight. Even if it was his escape from the harsh realities in his country, he would try to enjoy his hiding in Indonesia. He probably could visit the beach if he had free time in the country.
The plane slowly flew lower until finally, he could feel a gentle vibration in the plane as the giant bird actually landed at the airport. He could see the other passengers on the plane getting ready with their luggage, but he didn't need to rush as he just kept his backpack under the seat.
The plane had completely stopped, and other passengers looked impatient as they immediately unfastened their seatbelts and got up from their seats.
More than one hundred people wanted to get out of the plane soon, but Wen Xiang was still sitting calmly on his seat. He would get up after those people were out of the plane.
He could see how those people looked enthusiastic. Perhaps they would have a vacation in this city, so they looked so happy after the plane landed.
The expression was the total opposite of his. He kept displaying a grim expression, and even his seatmate earlier chose to ignore him the whole journey. Probably that person was too afraid of him.
Wen Xiang could care less and just immediately got up from his seat when the plane was empty once again. Not forgetting, he grabbed his backpack from under the seat.
He only brought a few pieces of clothes because his other clothes were in his apartment. If he went to take the close in the apartment, the people of Black Lotus surely would catch him.
That was why he didn't want to risk his life and opted to accept Chang Jianyu's offer to bring his clothes instead. He had money, so he could buy any clothes he wanted in this country.
Finally, outside the plane, Wen Xiang was greeted by the scorching sun of Yogyakarta. He had known that Indonesia was a tropical country, so he had expected this kind of sun would be the first one that greeted him after he got out of the plane.
He started walking again following the other passengers, and he secretly inspected his surroundings. He was an assassin and was used to the attitude of staying alerted wherever he was.
The plane landed at Yogyakarta International Airport, and from the information that he got from the internet, he knew that the airport was rather new.
The airport had a unique architecture, and even if he knew nothing about art, the place was quite artistic for him.
When he arrived at the arrival area of the airport, he could see some passengers being picked up by some people, probably their relatives or something. He now realized that the passengers in the plane were not only Chinese but there were some Indonesian too.
'It must feel good to finally meet their family again,' Wen Xiang couldn't help but feel envious when he saw the interaction of those people.
Shaking his head to brush off his wishful thinking, he continued his steps and was about to look for a taxi when he suddenly heard a scream.
"THAT MAN HAS STOLEN MY WALLET! PLEASE HELP ME TO CATCH HIM!"
The scream was in high pitch, and it hurt Wen Xiang's ears a little. And when he turned his head to the side, he could see a man in black being chased by a man in pink.
Was it an airport or a playground?
