But Oliver knew that the plane Fermin had given him was probably worth a fortune.
Oliver didn’t know that this private plane was the most expensive and luxurious one under Fermin’s name, with a total value of 470 million Oros!
And while buying a private plane was expensive, keeping one could cost an astronomical amount of
money.
For example, the annual salaries of crew members such as pilots, flight attendants, stewards, etc. totaled at least several million Oros. In addition, airport usage fees, aviation fuel fees, aircraft maintenance fees, spare parts repair fees, etc. were also very expensive.
Basically, for a very large aircraft like the Airbus 380, even if it was parked and not used, it could still cost more than 30 million Oros a year, and the cost of flying it once would be more than 1 million Oros.
Therefore, many people could afford to buy but not keep a luxury like a private plane.
Fortunately, Oliver had the ability to make a lot of money quickly and could afford a private plane. Moreover, with the fortune in Oliver’s name, it would be easy to keep an Airbus 380 private jet. The shares Oliver owned in the Dellas family could pay dividends in excess of 100 billion Oros per year, an amount that exceeded the assets of most of the world’s super-rich.
After getting on the plane, Denise poured Oliver red wine and explained to him, “Mr. Eastwood, Mr. Fermin Dellas sent someone to ask me if I would quit my job and be a steward on your plane. Of course I would!” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Only then did Oliver realize that it was all Fermin’s arrangement.
Fermin shook his hand at him and said with a smile, “Enjoy your pleasant journey, Oliver. Goodbye!” Oliver made a passive goodbye gesture to him. The pilot entered the cockpit and contacted the control tower, while another flight attendant closed the cabin door.
The airplane was staffed with pilots, flight attendants and other attendants, eleven in all, who were responsible for technical services, life care, and security.
On regular flights, no passengers were allowed in the cockpit, but on private planes, the boss could do whatever he wanted.
The pilot respectfully invited Oliver to the cockpit for inspection and experience. Oliver was really interested, so he happily followed the pilot into the cockpit.
The pilot even asked Oliver to sit in the co-pilot’s seat, and the co-pilot stood beside Oliver to explain. Twenty minutes later, the plane glided and took off. Oliver enthusiastically experienced the process of the aircraft accelerating on the runway and taking off. The plane soared into the blue sky, and as the objects on the ground gradually became smaller in his sight, it was only at this moment that Oliver truly realized the power of technology.
Twelve hours later, the plane landed at the airport in the capital of Oliver’s home province, because the Airbus 380 was so large that only airports in first-tier cities could meet the takeoff and landing standards for the plane.
Back in Clusia, as soon as he entered the airport, Oliver looked around at his compatriots with similar facial features, listened to various accents of Clusianese, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of affinity.
Oliver felt that his hometown was better than any other place.
Shark hadn’t been here before. He looked at the airport curiously and praised it. “In terms of size and design, this airport is better than most international airports I have seen!”
Oliver smiled and said, “Shark, looks like you haven’t been to enough airports. This airport is not even among the top 10 in our country.”

Shark smiled and said, “I guess I was wrong. In my previous impression, no, in the imagination of most other countries, the majority of the people in Clusia were still poor and hungry and used bicycles for transportation. But to my surprise, your country is no less prosperous than any country I have ever seen!” Oliver shook his head with a smile and then asked, “Our country has developed rapidly these years. Even in ordinary small towns, there are many tall buildings and well-developed traffic. The high- speed train runs through all parts of our country. It can be said that most areas of the country are equally prosperous. Where do you want to go to see?”
Shark said casually, “I’ll go wherever you go. Of course, I want to visit Macalel if there is a chance.”
Shark owned a hotel casino and really wanted to see the number one casino in the world.
Oliver nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll take you there sometime.”
In fact, Oliver hadn’t been there either, so he wanted to go and have fun when he had time.
After getting out of the airport, Oliver did not want to take another airplane back to Jeahron because it was very close. The real flight time was only half an hour, and with the takeoff and landing time, it only took fifty minutes. Oliver felt that it was too troublesome, so he wanted to take Shark to experience the high-speed train in this country.
The next high-speed train trip really stunned Shark. Only some developed countries had very few of these 220 miles per hour high-speed trains, and they covered a very small area, unlike here, where high-speed trains covered a lot of areas.
Shark used to think that the people in Clusia were backward and old-fashioned, but the reality was that the people here were very fashionable, and he felt that he had been too ignorant.
It took an hour and a half to get to Jeahron, and Oliver had already called Fabian to bring someone to pick them up in a couple of cars long before they arrived at the station.
Instead of putting Shark in a hotel, Oliver took Shark straight to his house, which was huge anyway, and having Shark in a hotel would make them look like they were not close enough.
Seeing Oliver bring back a beefy foreign friend, Jason and his wife didn’t ask questions, but treated him well, thinking that their son’s friend was their friend.
When Shark saw Sienna, he couldn’t help but be amazed by Sienna and praised her. “Oliver, your fiancee is so beautiful, just like Hailey. People in your country are uniquely beautiful.”
Sienna didn’t catch all of what Shark said, but she did catch the name Hailey clearly. She stared at Oliver and asked, “Oliver, does your friend know Hailey? Is it Hailey Fox?”
Oliver smiled awkwardly and tried to change the subject. “Shark is hungry. Joanna, go help Mom and see if the meal is ready. I’m so hungry!”
Sienna nodded and went with Joanna, but she was a little confused.
Shark enjoyed the home-cooked meal happily, but he still couldn’t get used to using chopsticks.
After the meal, they chatted for a while. Shark and Oliver were a little sleepy. To get over the jet lag, they both went back to their rooms to sleep.
When they woke up, it was nine o’clock in the evening. Oliver took Shark to see the night market and eat at a food vendor.
Shark was tall and strong and ate a lot. He praised the food while eating, glanced at the busy night market, and quietly asked Oliver, “Oliver, it’s so late, but the street is still bustling. Is it safe… at night?”
Hearing this, Oliver laughed and said, “Of course it’s safe. There are people on this street at two or three in the morning, let alone eight or nine at night.”
Shark was a little suspicious. In most places abroad, it was dangerous at night, and he only dared to go out at night with his bodyguards and guns.
