Henry came to Audrey Hepburn's side and extended his hand to invite her, "Ma'am, have you ever seen the starry sky in the desert? I think this is probably the most beautiful part of this trip. It would be a pity not to see it. But you should put on more clothes, it's very cold outside."
"Oh, child. You don't think I would bring thick clothes for a trip to Africa in the summer," Audrey said teasingly.
"Shall I get you a blanket?"
"Ok."
When Audrey Hepburn, wrapped in a blanket in the cabin, also came out of the plane, she realized what kind of traces the landing process, which did not feel any discomfort in the cabin, actually left.
It was too dark to see in the distance, but the plane had plowed a deep trench into the nearby sand. This was actually the relatively straight runway created by the Henry on the plane's belly. Otherwise, with the dunes, it would have been difficult for the plane to force a landing.
However, this deep ditch does not seem to last long, as the yellow sand blowing in from all directions is burying it.
The small passenger plane lay flat on the sand, showing no signs of impact. If someone didn't know, they would think it was lowered by a crane and placed flat there.
Looking up, it was a night with a crescent moon, the moonlight dim. Instead, stars twinkled, filling the pitch-black sky. And it wasn't just silvery-white stars; there were also reds and blues. Though not deeply colored, they still appeared a riot of color.
Audrey Hepburn, supported by Mark and Sam, also climbed onto the wing, found a place to sit down, and watched the hard-earned starry sky with everyone.
A moment later, Italian Captain Luca emerged. He announced, "I've contacted air traffic control and reported the current situation. A helicopter from the nearby US military base will be picking us up. I've activated the rescue transmitter to direct the rescue team. They'll be here soon."
Chapter 114 Welcome home
In a beautiful situation, there will always be some things that spoil the mood. This is normal.
Henry broke the silence and said, "Everyone, do you remember what I asked you to keep secret?"
No one spoke, just staring at the man who was speaking. Henry turned to the Italian captain and said, "Captain Luca, you must take all the credit for this successful emergency landing. Are you ready to be treated like a hero?"
"Hey, kid, but..."
Interrupting Luca, Henry said, "If you don't play the hero, all our previous performances will be in vain. If you now say it's someone else's credit, how many people will believe you?
"Besides, don't be afraid to take credit for this. I did everything according to your orders. And I don't think anyone would ask for a perfect re-creation of everything while on your plane. So don't be afraid of being tested."
"Well... okay." The captain chose to compromise.
This fame and achievement will not actually bring any positive impact to your career, but may even be negative.
But it was also true that he had been rescued by someone else. If the other party didn't want to be exposed, then helping them hide it was like repaying the favor.
The captain was easy to deal with and could ignore the drunk female flight attendant, but Henry had not forgotten the secret identities of Brian and others.
Although he could not find any documents to prove that the other party was a secret CIA agent, they did have some private behavior while protecting Ms. Hepburn in Africa, which clearly showed that the other party must be a member of an intelligence organization.
People like this who simply ask others to keep secrets are actually not reliable at all.
So, do you want to silence him?
Brian seemed to sense Henry's gaze. Regardless of whether he had thought of the worst possibility or not, he spoke first, "Henry, since we promised you that we would keep your secret, we will definitely keep it secret for you. Don't doubt our promise."
As he spoke, Brian stretched out his hand to shake hands with someone to show his determination.
"Okay." Henry shook my hand and said, "I still want to say that instead of reporting my situation in exchange for a chance to get promoted and make money, I owe you a favor privately. I think you should be able to tell which is more valuable."
This hint, combined with Henry's display of super hearing across the plane cabin, made Brian realize that their secret identities might not be so secret after all.
Seeing through everything without saying anything, Brian said sincerely, "Having a friend like you makes me much more reliable."
Mark, Sam, and Old Bernie also expressed their opinions and shook hands with Henry or hugged him. They said:
"Hey, tough guy, you saved my life. I can't tell good from bad."
"Yes, Henry. There aren't many friends you can trust, but you have to believe that we can be trusted."
"Don't worry about your secrets, kid. I've done plenty of secrets in my life, but you haven't heard me talk about them."
"Thanks." Henry thanked him.
Sam suddenly asked, "Actually, when you were on the plane, you had a way to escape with Ms. Hepburn alone, right?"
Now Henry was being watched by everyone, including Audrey Hepburn.
Spreading his hands, Henry said honestly: "Yes, this is indeed one of the options."
"Then why didn't you consider doing this?"
"I didn't mean to offer such a cruel choice, and I don't think I could refuse when I was being stared at by those eyes. If that's the case, why not discuss how to save the entire plane right from the start, so that no one would become the bad guy and cause trouble for nothing."
Once everyone thought about it, they understood Henry's dilemma.
In the situation on the plane, if he said he could fly and save someone, no matter who it was, the remaining people would inevitably feel resentful.
But would Ms. Hepburn be the kind of person who only cares about her own survival and doesn't care about the lives of others?
Judging from her observations over the past few days, she is not. The lady will definitely ask Henry to find a way to rescue everyone, even if it means using soft and hard coaxing, she will find a way to make Henry agree.
Even if everyone is successfully rescued at this time, will everyone's thoughts still be as peaceful as they are now?
Because they first faced the fate of being abandoned and left to die before they were given the chance to be saved. At this point, the emotion left in people's hearts is most likely not gratitude, but resentment.
Even if Henry really only rescued Ms. Hepburn, how would he face her afterwards?
You know, the plane wasn't in a critical crisis, with no time to save more people. Instead, there was plenty of time to discuss and think about how to save themselves.
Giving up directly is neither reasonable nor justifiable.
Unless... Henry only chooses to save himself today, completely abandons the others on the plane, and kills all those who know about it. Otherwise, for him, the best choice should be the path at hand.
Regardless of the other party's mentality, Henry did not choose to give up on anyone and touch upon what he called "cruelty", which made Sam full of gratitude.
He shook Henry's hand again, his gratitude overflowing.
Finally, Henry came to Ms. Hepburn. He shaved shyly, having a lot to say but not knowing how to begin. He finally asked, "Boss, you're not going to fire me, are you?"
"How could that be, kid. How could that be." Audrey Hepburn gave Henry a big hug.
In the past, this image of a little bird hugging a girl would have made countless men envious. But now it feels like the opposite, with Ms. Hepburn embracing a boy with tolerance, just like a mother embracing her own child.
Letting go of Henry, Audrey Hepburn patted him on the arm again and said, "Well done, tough guy. You've been a real help."
Henry grinned.
At this time, there was a noisy sound of propellers in the distance, and the searchlight light was randomly scanning the ground. After a while, the searchlight found the small passenger plane that had made an emergency landing and the people on the wing.
Everyone was waving and jumping on the ground excitedly.
Brian asked Mark and Sam to go back into the cabin and bring out the female flight attendant who was still unconscious.
Two helicopters hovered low in the air, kicking up a cloud of dust. Several soldiers jumped out of the helicopters, guns drawn, and ran up to the crowd, asking, "Is Ms. Audrey Hepburn here?"
Hepburn stepped out from behind the others and said, "I am Audrey Hepburn, and the others are my assistants, members of the security team, and the crew of the plane."
"Eight people in total, right?"
"Yes, eight of us."
The leading soldier said, "Ma'am, we are the US military rescue team. We will take you back to base now. Someone will come to collect the plane and the supplies from above later. Welcome home, Ms. Hepburn."
"Thank you." Audrey Hepburn boarded the helicopter under the soldiers' escort. The others followed suit, boarding two helicopters and flying back to the US military base, ending this thrilling night of surprises and shocks.

Chapter 115 Miraculous Landing
Audrey Hepburn's plight has undoubtedly become a hot topic in recent news. However, unlike Hollywood stars who used to be in the entertainment section, this time her plight was in the politics and society section.
The political news was about the coup and secession in Somalia. Audrey Hepburn's children's visit was like the closing theme song of a play, extinguishing the Somali Democratic Republic, which had been established since 69.
What made the headlines was, of course, the miraculous nighttime emergency landing by the Italian captain, which saved the eight people on board and left everyone unharmed.
All professionals in the same field agree that, in addition to Captain Luca's flawless operation during the gliding phase, it was ultimately due to good luck!
Otherwise, in the absence of lighting, even if the forced landing site was on soft sand, as long as the aircraft's forced landing posture was slightly wrong and caused a roll, the outcome would not be what it is today.
At that time, people will not be praising a hero, but commemorating a big star who devoted himself to charity activities but sacrificed his life.
All the news media focused on only two people, one was of course the big star Audrey Hepburn, and the other was the legendary Italian captain, Luca Rizzo.
Henry Brown was nicknamed the "lucky assistant." A Hollywood actor, he encountered this kind of misfortune on his first assistant job. Although he ultimately survived, opinions vary on whether this was considered lucky or unlucky.
However, just as Henry wished, there was not much space in the articles about him, not even a single word of report. He successfully hid himself from the public eye.
But wherever you go, you leave a trace. Although you can hide yourself from the public, Henry is not sure how to hide himself from certain organizations or certain people.
This wasn't because he suspected Brian and his group of CIA agents of leaking secrets, but rather because there were so many strange and bizarre abilities in this world. If he did it, it would inevitably be exposed to these people.
The difference lies in how these people use this information: do they ignore it, publicize it, or seek ways to benefit themselves?
Since Henry had guessed this, and asked Brian and the others to keep it a secret, this was actually just a gesture of kindness. He just wanted to prevent his secret from being known by too many people.
If someone really is promoting me... then I'll just accept it. Otherwise, what else can I do? Silence them?
Unless you live in seclusion deep in the mountains, it's only a matter of time before your abilities are exposed. The key is subsequent development, so you can only adapt to the situation.
Walking through the streets of New York in the 1990s, the atmosphere was a testament to its undeniable status as a world financial center. Its prosperity, even 20 or 30 years later, would be unmatched by many other cities.
Look up at the skyscrapers that you can't see the top of, the colorful neon advertising billboards, the hustle and bustle of traffic, the prettiest girls, the most handsome men, the fashionable and the unfashionable, filling every corner.
Even the smell of money that hits your nostrils is something you can't smell anywhere else, making this city so unique.
In particular, the Empire State Building, where King Kong climbed up for the woman he loved and openly masturbated on the roof, was the highlight of Henry's sightseeing.
But this is also the center of the Marvel Universe disaster that Henry wanted to stay away from. Unfortunately, Ms. Hepburn is waiting to enter the United Nations to give a report to UNICEF and cannot leave for the time being.
The UN didn't actually force its personnel to stay in New York, as long as they showed up at the appointed time. But considering Ms. Hepburn's advanced age and the fatigue of the journey, she decided to stay and participate in some charity fundraising activities.
The main reason was that the rumored soul mate, Robert Wards, also flew to New York to meet the lady.
The woman's two sons, Sean Farrell and Luca Dotti, also took time out of their busy schedules to come to New York to see their mother.
Today is a rare day off. The woman's agent hasn't packed her schedule like she did when she was younger, so she always has some free time.
Besides, Ms. Hepburn attached great importance to her family, and no one could pull her away from the time she spent with her family.
So Henry took advantage of the days when the lady and her family were resting in the hotel to stroll on the street, mainly looking for food.
During these days, food, lodging, and drinks were all paid for by the government. Even though I couldn't sit at the same table with the woman's family, the meals I ate were all high-end Western cuisine of the same standard.
A major drawback of the separate dining system is that portion sizes are fixed. In some high-end restaurants, if you want to add a meal at the last minute, the chef will roll his eyes!
So Henry was only half full recently, and he was too embarrassed to increase the amount. This was quite disadvantageous for a Kryptonian who was still developing (!?), not to mention the starving Henry.
So whenever he had the chance, Henry would go out to find something to eat. After all, he could eat as he pleased with his own money, and no one would interfere. After eating, he would go for a walk.
The United Nations Building is located in Manhattan, New York's most prosperous district, near the renowned Central Park. Hepburn stayed at a nearby hotel, and Henry, the assistant, got a good deal, living the life of a New York upper-class person.
What makes New York's Central Park famous is not the pleasant scenery here, nor is it that the park has any special protected landscapes or historical sites.
Simply because in Manhattan, where every inch of land is valuable, there is a park covering such a large area that it is not an exaggeration to say that the ground is paved with gold bricks.
So when Henry strolled in the park, he enjoyed the precious experience of scraping dirt with every step he took, even if it was worth a few cents. It made people unconsciously want to take two steps back for every step they took, in order to show their respect for this expensive piece of land.
I wonder if I could just take a bucket and a shovel and scoop up some dirt from the park and deposit it directly in the bank? Perhaps if I told those snobby bank tellers that it was dirt from New York's Central Park, they'd be so excited they'd kneel down and pay their respects.
Just as a certain Kryptonian was lost in thought, a familiar voice stopped him. "Henry, here."
Turning around, sure enough, Ms. Audrey Hepburn was standing by the artificial lake, waving to Henry.
She wore an ivory-yellow wide-brimmed yarn-woven sunhat, a sleeveless goose-yellow top with a large bow on her right shoulder, and a beige-based black and yellow plaid skirt with a white belt, giving her a strong girlish look.
But on this woman, it is dazzling and looks absolutely perfect. Especially when it reflects off the sunlight glinting off the lake, it makes her look like she is glowing.
Henry didn't think much about it and trotted over. "Boss, why did you come out alone? Didn't you say you were going to rest in the hotel and spend time with your family?"
"I suddenly thought of going to visit an old friend. But the children are too old to come along. Even Robert has his own things to do. So please come with me, Henry."
"Of course, boss." Henry didn't object.
Day 7, to celebrate the launch, there will be an additional update at 9pm
Chapter 116 Visiting Friends
"First, we have to hail a taxi," Ms. Hepburn said, patting Henry on the shoulder.
"Oh my god, do you know how hard this is? Hailing a cab in New York City."
"Come on, little tiger. It's not like you if you can't even get this little work done."
"Okay, but we have to walk outside the park. We won't get a free taxi even if we stand here for a whole year." Henry made way and pointed in the direction of the nearest exit.
Audrey Hepburn took Henry's arm and said, "You're right. So, let's go."
