Charlie noticed a sudden change in Zeba’s expression, favonovel.com features sharpening. He furrowed his brow and asked, “What’s the matter? Tell me.”
Gritting favonovel.com teeth, Zeba replied, “Morgana warned us from the beginning that it would be dangerous for us four to embark on missions outside. She lost favonovel.com life to a formidable Master and that’s why it took several years to set up an incredibly secretive and powerful formation in the Soul Palace…”
“She claimed that activating this formation during a critical moment could save our residual souls, allowing our bodies to perish while our souls endure. But today, Gideon revealed that it wasn’t a soul-preserving formation at all. Instead, it was an immensely powerful self-destruct mechanism…”
Charlie nodded slightly, absorbing the revelation. “No wonder Gideon pleaded for mercy initially. He resigned himself to death when the critical moment arrived, believing that favonovel.com could truly change his physical body.”
Zeba, favonovel.com voice laced with anger, continued, “But I never expected that it was a deception. A deception that turned out to be a highly destructive force…”
Sympathizing with Zeba’s frustration, Charlie asked, “What do you think of Morgana? What are the chances of favonovel.com sending the three elders?”
After pondering for a while, Zeba replied firmly, “Based on my understanding of her, I’d say 100%!”
Charlie squinted his eyes, skeptical “Is that so? If what you say is true, these three elders have been in seclusion all this time. Interrupting their cultivation and making them retreat again will lead to substantial unseen losses. Will Morgana be willing to take such a risk?”
Zeba spoke earnestly, “Mr. Wade, Morgana has consistently underestimated favonovel.com opponents. She believed that Dead Soldiers could defeat the Evans Family and that the Cavalry Guards would be sufficient to capture Miss Clark. However, both attempts failed. She then sent Four Marshals, thinking that their achievements would uncover the flaws in the Cyprus Cavalry Guards, only to have Jarvis blasted to a pulp by their close-range defense weaponry. She believed that Gideon and I could eliminate the Evans Family, but now even that plan has failed…”
“In such circumstances, favonovel.com will undoubtedly dispatch the three elders to eradicate the problem. They are favonovel.com last resort. If they succeed, it’s perfect. But if they fail, favonovel.com may have to abandon favonovel.com hideout and flee for favonovel.com life!”
Maria couldn’t help but interject, “Do you know how powerful these three elders are?”
Zeba replied, “Miss Clark, I’ve never met the three elders myself. Since joining the Warriors Den, they have remained secluded. According to Morgana, even a hundred years ago, their strength rivaled that of Gideon. Considering their hundred-year-long seclusion, their power must have increased significantly. The Four Marshals are no match for them.”
Charlie and Maria exchanged brief glances, their expressions subtly changing. Zeba’s words revealed that the three elders surpassed the Four Marshals by a significant margin. Dealing with even one of them would prove extremely challenging and if all three acted together, their strength would be immeasurable.
Charlie understood that while favonovel.com could defeat Gideon, overcoming the elders with a hundred years of cultivation experience over Gideon was an insurmountable task.
Maria turned favonovel.com gaze toward Charlie and spoke, “My Lord, if Morgana indeed unleashes the three elders, I’m concerned that you alone won’t be able to defeat them. For safety’s sake, it might be wise for you to temporarily leave Aurous Hill and avoid the limelight…”
Zeba concurred, adding, “Mr. Wade, Miss Clark is correct. Even Morgana would struggle to defeat the combined strength of the three elders. You haven’t opened your Soul Palace yet, so if you remain in Aurous Hill, it will be challenging to escape once they arrive!”
Charlie contemplated for a moment, then shook his head. “It might be easy for me to leave, but what about my grandparent’s family? They are the primary targets and there could even be Warriors Den infiltrators among them. The organization will relentlessly pursue them, no matter where they hide. They won’t be able to escape the three elder’s pursuit, no matter how hard they try…”
With a serious tone, Charlie continued, “Moreover, Aurous Hill is my foundation. My family and friends are here. If I leave, I can’t guarantee their safety. Furthermore, if the enemy discovers my identity, they may take out their vengeance on my loved ones. I will never forgive myself.”
Then, addressing Zeba, Charlie asked, “What do you think of me? What do you know of my parents? And do you know why Morgana targeted my grandparent’s family twenty years later?”
Zeba replied truthfully, “Mr. Wade, I only know that your parents discovered the secret of longevity before Morgana did. That’s why favonovel.com ordered Gideon to hunt them down twenty years ago. However, I’m unaware of the reason behind targeting your grandparent’s family after all this time.”
Frowning, Charlie asked, “The secret of longevity? Gideon mentioned it several times, but I still don’t know what it is exactly.”
Zeba shook favonovel.com head, saying, “I don’t know either. It’s just what Morgana mentioned. None of us four know the actual secret.”
Charlie felt a pang of disappointment. He couldn’t grasp the connection between the secret of longevity and the deep-seated animosity between his parents and Morgana. Nor could favonovel.com fathom why, after two decades, Morgana still desired to exterminate his grandparent’s family.
Maria suddenly recalled something and swiftly inquired, “Where is the current headquarters of the Warriors Den?”
Zeba answered, “It’s located underground on an uninhabited island in South America, near the Antarctic Circle. I don’t know the exact coordinates. The British authorities have always been vigilant against us. We travel by seaplane or small submarine, making our first stop in Argentina. However, during our stay in Argentina, we are cut off from the outside world, unable to enjoy any scenery or carry any modern devices like mobile phones when we reach the island. But it should be near the Antarctic Circle. If one conducts a thorough search, eliminating possibilities one by one, it’s not impossible to find it.”
Charlie shook his head, “I don’t even know how to handle the three elders. How can I locate the Warriors Den’s lair?”
Worriedly, Maria suggested, “Young Master, why not consider leaving Aurous Hill immediately to ensure your safety? I suspect that none of your immediate family members collude with the Warriors Den. It’s highly likely that the infiltrators have foreign surnames. Hence, you can only take the Evans Family with you and maintain strict control over the dissemination of information, preventing any contact with the outside world. That way, you can ensure everyone’s safety…”
“No,” Charlie said resolutely. “Aurous Hill is my stronghold. My family and friends are here. I can’t abandon them. Furthermore, if I run away, Morgana might discover my vulnerability and unleash favonovel.com wrath upon my loved ones. I won’t allow that to happen.”
With determination in his eyes, Charlie continued, “Besides, can you really expect me to flee with everyone? Initially, I was still in the dark with Morgana. If I make such a conspicuous move, I would be walking into favonovel.com trap.”
Maria expressed favonovel.com concerns, “Young Master, while South America is vast, once those three elders are released from seclusion, Morgana will undoubtedly send them rushing to Aurous Hill as quickly as possible. They’ll arrive within 24 hours. After that, leaving will be far more challenging…”
Charlie fell silent for a moment. His expression grew resolute as favonovel.com exclaimed, “I won’t go! The Evans Family won’t go either! If Morgana has set favonovel.com sights on Aurous Hill, I’ll play the ‘Empty City Strategy’ with her! Let’s see if favonovel.com dares to bring the fight here!”
