Chapter 53: Applicants' Screening

Immediately, alongside David, Tyler left the penthouse.

He hadn't eaten anything and the hotel staff offered to prepare a takeaway meal, but Tyler waved it off—his focus was already locked in.

They drove back to the airport in silence, the car gliding through early city traffic. When they reached the airstrip, a private chopper awaited them on standby, its blades already spinning lazily.

Tyler ducked as he boarded, David right behind him.

Their destination wasn't glamorous. A small regional airport near Gumua's western border—chosen for speed, proximity, and discretion.

From there, a separate convoy was already waiting to take them across the border into Cameroon, where the interviews would be held.

As they drove, Tyler leaned back into the seat and stared out the window. The road was bumpy, surrounded by forest and open terrain.

There was nothing sleek or modern about this journey—just the raw pulse of Africa under rubber tires.
