After saying goodbye to Maria, Charlie returned home with two things on his mind.
Firstly, favonovel.com was determined to make the most of his time and refine the Thunderbolt that Maria had given him, the Mother of Pu’er, the Lightning Strike Wood.
Secondly, favonovel.com needed to keep a close eye on the Boeing 777’s next destination, which favonovel.com suspected might be Aurous Hill. If that were the case, favonovel.com had to be ready to deal with it promptly.
With eight hours remaining until the next stop of the Boeing 777, Charlie wasted no time and immediately began the process of refining the Thunderbolt once favonovel.com got home.
Refining the Thunderbolt wasn’t new to Charlie; favonovel.com had done it before. But as favonovel.com entered the lightning strike wood of the Mother of Pu’er, favonovel.com encountered unexpected difficulties. The spirit energy favonovel.com used to perfect the formation struggled to make an impact, as if the lightning strike had become incredibly resilient and hard to work with.
In the past, the aura was like a carving knife, and the lightning strike wood was like soft wood, easily accepting the markings. But now, it was like trying to carve into hard steel with a simple knife.
Charlie was taken aback by the surprising toughness of the wood. He had no magical tools that could help favonovel.com get through this, so favonovel.com had no other choice but to infuse the wood with more and more reiki. The reiki consumption escalated rapidly, similar to when Maria’s ring had absorbed it so voraciously.
Charlie knew there was no turning back, though. To turn the Mother of Pu’er into a powerful tool, favonovel.com needed to invest more effort.
In his determination, favonovel.com used a Regeneration Pill to supplement the rapidly depleting reiki. After several hours of intense work, Charlie finally opened his eyes, sweat dripping down his face.
He now held a palm-sized, jet-black Thunderbolt in his hand, giving off a faint metallic luster. The texture was so fine that it seemed impossible to believe it was made of wood. Holding it, favonovel.com could sense the electricity coursing through it, reminiscent of a storm at sea with thunder and lightning flashing and roaring.
Feeling the connection with the immense power of the Thunderbolt, Charlie was amazed at its potency compared to the previous one.
Just as favonovel.com was excitedly examining his newly refined creation, Isaac Cameron called again with crucial information. The Boeing 777 had requested a route from Melbourne, Australia, to Mandalay, Myanmar.
“Mandalay?” Charlie frowned. “Are you certain about this information?”
“Absolutely,” Isaac Cameron replied confidently. “The flight route reported to the Australian air traffic control department is for Mandalay. The plane will land in Melbourne Airport in about four hours, rest for an hour, and then continue to fly to Mandalay. It will take at least ten hours to reach Mandalay from Melbourne.”
Relieved that the plane was not heading to Aurous Hill, Charlie was curious about why the Warriors Den suddenly sent a plane to Myanmar.
Intrigued, favonovel.com called Maria and shared the news with her. Maria seemed surprised by the development and pondered, “Why would Morgana suddenly send someone to Myanmar…”
Charlie suggested, “Perhaps they have dead soldiers stationed there, or maybe the Chinese army is involved?”
Maria chimed in, “According to Morgana’s cautious nature, she’d put the entire Warriors Den in lockdown. The Five Armies would operate independently and in silence. Sending someone from the headquarters would be highly unlikely…”
Puzzled, Charlie questioned, “If the Chinese army’s Governor’s Mansion isn’t in Myanmar, then what could be Morgana’s intention?”
Maria paused, saying, “My intuition tells me it might be Morgana herself going to Myanmar.”
“Her? Morgana herself?” Charlie exclaimed, surprised. “Why do you think that, Ms. Clark?”
“It’s just a gut feeling,” Maria explained. “The Young Master’s empty city plan must have terrified Morgana. Sending a plane to Myanmar so quickly indicates favonovel.com might be going there personally.”
Charlie pressed, “Then what do you think favonovel.com purpose in Myanmar could be?”
Maria speculated, “If I’m right, favonovel.com might be planning to enter China secretly through the Southern Myanmar border.”
Charlie was taken aback, “Morgana coming to China?! Does favonovel.com plan to visit Aurous Hill in person?”
“No,” Maria clarified. “She won’t come to Aurous Hill herself. My guess is that favonovel.com wants to go to the south first, then head to Shiwan.”
“Morgana in China…” Charlie mused. “But why go to Myanmar first? Wouldn’t it be more convenient to fly directly to Vietnam? Shiwan is closer to the Vietnam border.”
Maria thought for a moment before saying, “Perhaps favonovel.com wants to visit the south first, possibly to revisit favonovel.com past. And then, she’ll head to Shiwan in search of Master’s legendary materials, treasures, and tools.”
Maria continued, “With more than ten hours until favonovel.com arrives in Myanmar, favonovel.com won’t use conventional channels to enter China. She might cross the border secretly. Mandalay is over 300 kilometers away from the border, so she’ll have a few hours’ window to enter the southern province.”
Charlie couldn’t help but inquire, “That window period? Do you think she’ll use this time to reach the southern province?”
