I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

The importance of having a royal family member in the house was now evident.

With just one call from Terrence, the entire airport was locked down within ten minutes. The airport police began evacuating the crowd and grounding all flights. This massive operation caused panic among everyone at the airport. The members of Celestial Alliance were also confused. Such stringent measures were only taken when a high-ranking national leader was present. All obstacles were cleared, no vehicles were allowed within a few kilometers, and police officers were stationed every hundred meters.

One of the assassins from Celestial Alliance grabbed an airport police officer and asked, "What's going on? Why are all flights grounded? Is some big shot coming?"

The officer, with a knife pressed against his waist, dared not lie. "The French prince is coming to the airport. There are rumors that terrorists are trying to provoke a conflict between Japan and France, hence the lockdown." Upon receiving this information, the assassin knocked the officer unconscious, dragged him into a restroom, hid him there, and then changed into the officer's uniform before walking out confidently.

Celestial Alliance had a death order to retrieve Little Lucky. Now that they had confirmed she was at the airport, they wouldn't give up easily.

The situation at the airport quickly reached Reginald. He connected the dots: Meredith was the daughter of French Prince Darcy DuMont, and now members of the French royal family were coming to the airport. It was too coincidental.

Reginald immediately guessed that Terrence had taken Little Lucky and that they were now at the airport. He didn't have time to figure out why Terrence wasn't blind or how he had tracked them to Japan; he just wanted to get Little Lucky back.

Reginald issued another order: "They are at the airport. Make sure to bring Little Lucky back to me unharmed."

Meanwhile, Darcy DuMont and other members of the French royal family arrived at the airport, accompanied by Japan's Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Royal Guard locked down the entire airport, clearing paths both front and back. Darcy DuMont got out of the car and walked towards the location Terrence had mentioned on the phone. The others followed him. Apart from Darcy DuMont, no one else knew exactly what was happening; they genuinely thought someone was trying to stir up trouble and provoke tensions between the two countries.

Terrence knew his father-in-law had arrived, so he came out of a store in the airport with Little Lucky. He had been moving around to avoid Celestial Alliance members. When they met, Darcy DuMont saw Little Lucky and finally felt relieved. He walked briskly towards Terrence. He had only recently learned about Little Lucky's abduction. "Dad," Terrence called out as he approached Darcy DuMont with Little Lucky in his arms. From a mirror in a side store, he noticed a sniper hiding on the second floor. "Dad, watch out!" Terrence shouted as he quickly hid behind a pillar with Little Lucky.

Darcy DuMont reacted swiftly and dodged as well. However, a gunshot rang out, hitting another Japanese leader beside Darcy DuMont, who died instantly.

The gunshot caused chaos throughout the airport. Passengers who hadn't been fully evacuated ran in all directions in fear while all police officers went on high alert to protect the French royal family. An incident here would lead to international disputes that Japan couldn't afford.

The gunfire scared Little Lucky into crying. Terrence held her tightly and comforted her softly, "Rowan, don't be afraid. Daddy's here."

Little Lucky cried for a moment but soon calmed down, feeling safe in her father's arms.

Darcy DuMont hid behind a pillar two or three meters away from Terrence and shouted, "Terry, are you and Rowan okay?"

"Dad, we're fine," Terrence replied, though he hadn't expected Celestial Alliance to actually make a move.

This could directly provoke a conflict between two countries. With such a big commotion, it wouldn't take more than two hours for the whole world to know about it.

Celestial Alliance had gone mad.

To be precise, Celestial Alliance members were stunned. The sniper who fired hadn't intended to shoot; it really was an accidental discharge.

He wanted to say it was an accident!

Other Celestial Alliance members hidden among the crowd or disguised as police officers were also shocked. Damien asked through his earpiece in a low voice, "Who did this? Are you crazy?" Killing a high-ranking Japanese leader would bring enormous trouble.

Despite lowering his voice, Damien's anger was palpable through the earpiece. The sniper could feel Damien's killing intent even through the earpiece.

Stammering into his earpiece, the sniper said, "Mr. Meadows, it-it was an accidental discharge."

All Celestial Alliance members could hear through their earpieces: "..."
