The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 601

Chapter 601: Chapter 601 A Loyal Man
Not long after, they had already given the viewers a full tour of the private plane, introducing them to the National Race Team, who were all enjoying themselves.

They showed everything—from the bar and entertainment area to the massage parlor, sleeping quarters, and kitchen. As requested by the viewers, they even reached the cockpit, offering a peek inside.

…

[Melonseeds: Fuck! Even the pilot looked handsome!]

[AsiaFly: Hey! That’s Captain Troy! I heard that he was a very in-demand pilot as an ace pilot who retired from the Air Force and turned to pilot private planes now. But not only that, I heard that he was Gerald Troy’s cousin!]

[AsiaFly: Looks like we just discovered where he’s been working! No wonder so many wealthy families have been searching for him—not only would they get an elite pilot, but they’d also gain a connection to Gerald Troy.]

…

Hera, hearing this for the first time, was visibly surprised.

“Is that true? You’re Gerald Troy’s cousin?” she asked curiously. The captain piloting their plane didn’t look that old—he seemed to be in his early thirties, just a few years older than Gerald Troy. Clearly, he was still in his prime.

Captain Troy glanced politely at Hera, his rugged features and honey-toned skin giving him a striking, model-like appearance.

His composed demeanor only added to his charm. Dave, however, instinctively reached out and grabbed Hera’s hand like a startled rabbit protecting its own.

Noticing Dave’s reaction, Captain Troy chuckled softly and raised his left hand, revealing a gleaming wedding band.

He said nothing, letting the gesture speak for itself. Only then did Dave relax, his tension easing visibly.

Hera chuckled as well, finding Dave’s antics unexpectedly endearing. Though tempted to tease him, she decided to let it slide, enjoying the lighthearted moment instead.

Even the viewers noticed the subtle exchange, flooding the comment section with a barrage of heart and cute emojis.

Meanwhile, Leo, Luke, and Xavier maintained their usual composure, but the slight tension in their expressions betrayed their feelings.

Dave’s overly protective reaction had set off their internal alarms, making them glare at him with mild annoyance.

‘Seriously? Overreacting like that?’ their looks seemed to say. They knew all too well that Hera wasn’t the type to be easily swayed by a handsome face alone.

They were all undeniably handsome, yet even they had struggled to win Hera’s favor.

Dave’s overreaction, however, managed to stir a bit of unease among them as well.

Thankfully, Captain Troy, despite his stern appearance, came across as perceptive and approachable, easing the tension in the air.

“Is it really true?” Dave asked cautiously, his voice laced with skepticism. He wanted to confirm that Captain Troy wasn’t simply wearing a wedding band as a clever ruse to deflect unwanted attention from women.

Sensing what Dave was hinting at, Captain Troy calmly reached into his pocket, retrieved his wallet, and opened it.

Sensing what Dave was getting at, Captain Troy reached into his pocket, pulled out his wallet, and flipped it open.

He held it up for Dave to see, revealing a photo of himself dressed in a sharp, white tailored wedding suit standing beside a radiant woman in a stunning fishtail wedding dress, a bouquet of white lilies in her hands.

Below that was another photo of the same woman, now cradling a baby boy, with Captain Troy standing proudly beside her, his arm around her shoulders.

A small, smug smile played on Captain Troy’s lips as he showed the pictures, as if proudly presenting his most cherished treasures.

Dave, caught off guard, found himself momentarily at a loss, a mix of embarrassment and reluctant admiration bubbling within him.

‘Damn! Did I just give this guy a platform to show off his love life?!’ Dave thought, feeling a twinge of regret.

Since he was the one holding the camera, he instinctively angled it toward Captain Troy’s wallet, unintentionally broadcasting the contents to the live audience.

Viewers were treated to a clear view of the loving wedding photo, the adorable family picture, and Captain Troy’s smug expression as he proudly displayed his cherished moments.

The camera, designed for wide-angle coverage with nearly 360-degree vision—perfect for capturing every detail during adventure livestreams—didn’t miss a thing.

…

The comment section immediately exploded with reactions:

[SunflowerHeart: OMG, what a beautiful family!]

[CaptainFan: That smug look, though! ꉂ (≧ヮ≦)]

[ForeverAlone: Why am I feeling single all over again?! ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ )]

…

Dave groaned internally, realizing he had just provided the perfect setup for Captain Troy’s unintentional flex.

A woman was leisurely watching Hera’s live stream, reminiscing about how she became a fan back when Hera first started sharing snippets of her daily life—like a travel blogger mixed with everyday mundanities.

Hera’s content, calming and relatable, had resonated with her deeply.

Being married to a man whose work often took him away on business trips, missions, or other engagements, she found solace in Hera’s posts, imagining that her husband might be experiencing similar moments during his time away.

However, her quiet morning took an unexpected turn.

She was stunned to see her so-called husband appear on the livestream—none other than Captain Troy—casually showing off their wedding photo.

Even though she was alone in the room with her two-year-old son, she felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment as her cheeks flushed red.

The comment section was in an uproar, full of admiration and compliments about her “lovely family” and her “loyal husband.”

For a moment, it felt like she was transported back to their dating days, her heart fluttering as if she were a young bride again.

‘This man really knows how to make me fall for him all over again,’ she thought with a wry smile, brushing back a lock of hair as she watched the screen.

At the same time, she had just uncovered a startling realization. Before leaving last night, her husband had casually mentioned he would be piloting a private plane for the Avery heiress.

Now, as she watched the livestream, the only female passenger she’d seen onboard was her idol, Hera.

At first, she thought nothing of it, assuming the crew’s respectful demeanor toward Hera was simply part of their job.

But when her husband appeared on screen, proudly flaunting their family photos, the pieces began to fall into place.

Her husband wouldn’t lie to her, and she vividly remembered the day Gerald Troy himself had come to their home to recruit her husband as an exclusive pilot for the Avery family.

Connecting the dots, one undeniable conclusion surfaced in her mind: the Avery heiress her husband mentioned was none other than Hera.

Her heart raced as this revelation sank in. ‘How did I not realize this before?’ she thought, her blood pumping with a mix of excitement and disbelief.

While Captain Troy and the viewers were having a field day, Dave—despite being visibly annoyed by Captain Troy’s smug demeanor—couldn’t help but feel relieved.

The weight of his initial wariness began to fade, but another frustration simmered beneath the surface.

He wasn’t just on edge because of Captain Troy’s handsome appearance or amiable personality; he was battling his own insecurities.

Deep down, Dave knew the truth. Though none of the others had outright said anything, it was clear from their interactions and subtle hints that Leo, Zhane, and Rafael had already crossed a significant line with Hera the previous night.
