Jack swiped Jeremy's knife and flung it at another hijacker's head, making the latter pass out.
Dominic finally noticed something was wrong and cried, "What the fuck? What just happened?"
A gunshot rang out. Jack's aim was flawless, striking Dominic straight in the temple. The latter fell to the floor and twitched briefly before breathing his last breath.
The passengers gaped at Jack, stunned by this sudden counterattack. Before they could even process the situation, he gestured for them to remain silent.
This was a matter of life and death, so the passengers knew to cooperate with him. There were enemies up ahead, and everyone would have to die if the hijackers found out what had happened.
Everyone's lives were at danger; this was a scene straight out of an action movie, only scarier. At that moment, Jack—a masked hero—had become their only lifeline. He was their only hope.
Jack silently made his way toward the first-class cabin after stabilizing the situation. He knocked on the door between the cabins; the terrorists in first class thought someone had come to switch shifts with them and even joked about Dominic's quick trigger.
Once the door swung open, all that greeted them was Jack's lightning-fast attack. He shot the terrorist who opened the door dead.
The bloody scene shocked everyone in the cabin and also attracted another terrorist's attention. The latter hastily shot at Jack, but Jack had predicted this. He rolled and avoided the bullet, making it end up in a seat. Fortunately, it didn't affect the plane's main structure.
Jack took the opportunity to surge forward. The terrorist whipped out a blade to attack him, but Jack punched him hard on the wrist. Then, he kicked the terrorist's head. The terrorist struggled to pull out a walkie-talkie from his pocket to warn his accomplices.
Unfortunately, Jack didn't give him the chance to do that. His surprising strength erupted, and it was as if he was enshrouded in an electric current. He slapped the aircraft's walls, making everyone feel a slight numbness.
