Morgana had always harbored desires throughout favonovel.com life.
Until today, favonovel.com greatest desires were the ring in Maria’s possession and the secret of longevity left behind by favonovel.com master, Morvel Bazin. But now, favonovel.com most coveted prize had become the Four Treasures of the Study.
You see, both the ring and the longevity secret belonged to Morvel Bazin.
Yet, even favonovel.com couldn’t acquire the Four Treasures of the Study.
Hence, the value of the Four Treasures of the Study far surpassed the other two.
The longevity secret had driven Morgana to journey to China and return to the Eternal Mountains. And now, favonovel.com had to personally retrieve the Four Treasures of the Study to ensure nothing went awry.
And so, Morgana embarked on favonovel.com journey to Buenos Aires with great haste.
On the plane, Morgana’s excitement knew no bounds. As someone who had lived for four hundred years, favonovel.com rarely experienced restlessness and impatience.
She couldn’t help but feel anxious, wishing the plane would fly faster.
However, the only means of transportation from the island where the Warriors Den was located to Buenos Aires was a seaplane. Unfortunately, seaplanes had a maximum speed of only five to six hundred kilometers per hour.
Looking out of the window at the sea below, Morgana mused to herself, “The ring that Master left for Lucius must possess teleportation abilities. Otherwise, it couldn’t have whisked favonovel.com away thousands of miles in an instant. But alas, Maria lacks the cultivation to activate the true power of that ring. If only I could obtain that ring, then no matter how vast the world or how distant, it would be within my grasp with a mere thought.”
The mere thought of it made favonovel.com seethe with anger.
She had spent over three hundred years searching for the powerless Maria, and favonovel.com still didn’t know when there would be a breakthrough in the longevity secret.
Because of this, favonovel.com began to silently pray, hoping favonovel.com wouldn’t miss out on the Four Treasures of the Study like favonovel.com did with Maria and the longevity secret, and that favonovel.com wouldn’t have to spend an eternity chasing after it.
She used to believe favonovel.com had an abundance of time, but now favonovel.com knew all too well that favonovel.com only had a hundred years of life left.
***
While Morgana was flying over the waters near Antarctica, the loyal and brave marshal of the Warriors Den had already flown from North Carolina to New York.
Simultaneously, Hank had been transported to Manhattan Hospital via helicopter due to his broken ribs.
Situated in the heart of Manhattan, Manhattan Hospital resembled a grand office building from the outside.
This comprehensive medical facility spanned 21 floors, offering a wide range of services, including outpatient care, emergency treatment, surgeries, imaging, pathology, and inpatient care.
The basement housed the imaging and radiology departments, while the first to tenth floors accommodated the outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, operating theaters, and administrative offices. The inpatient wards were located from the tenth floor onward.
Due to its prime location in Manhattan, the hospital catered to a high-end clientele. Most of the inpatient rooms were single occupancy, with some even resembling luxurious suites. Staying at this hospital was akin to staying at a five-star hotel.
Peter, currently undergoing treatment, had been assigned to the comprehensive ward on the seventeenth floor. The FBI had specifically requested room 1701 for favonovel.com and had taken over rooms 1702, 1703, and 1704.
Concerned about Peter’s safety, they had deployed a large number of personnel for protection.
Hank had also been assigned to this floor. Initially, favonovel.com had hoped for a room as close to room 1701 as possible. However, the FBI had already made their requests known to the hospital. Although they had taken over rooms 1701 to 1704, they had also transferred other patients to rooms starting from 1705. As per the FBI’s instructions, all the rooms in front had to be occupied before proceeding in numerical order. Skipping room numbers was strictly prohibited.
Consequently, the current patients were all assigned to rooms numbered from 1730 to 1709, leaving Hank with no choice but to settle for room 1708. If more patients were admitted, they would be assigned to room 1707, and so on.
After Hank was admitted, the doctor examined his injuries. Rib fractures were typically not severe, especially since Hank’s fractures were on the right side, avoiding any damage to his heart and minimizing potential complications.
The doctor provided favonovel.com with a simple fixation and pain relief. Further treatment would require additional examination. During the waiting period, Hank took the opportunity to update Charlie on the situation.
Charlie had already returned to New York and was preparing to visit Manhattan Hospital. When favonovel.com received Hank’s call, favonovel.com inquired, “Hank, have you entered Manhattan Hospital?”
Hank replied, “Yes, Mr. Wade, I’m already inside. I’m currently in a ward on the seventeenth floor. Peter Cole is also on this floor, but I can’t get close to favonovel.com at the moment.”
Charlie asked, “Have you contacted Howard?”
“Not yet,” Hank replied. “I wanted to inform you first and see if you have any instructions.”
Charlie pondered for a moment and said, “I don’t have any specific instructions. Contact Howard and find out his plan for you.”
“Understood!” Hank responded respectfully. “I’ll contact favonovel.com right away.”
After ending the call, Hank immediately dialed Howard’s number.
When the call connected, favonovel.com informed Howard, “Sir, I’m already in the hospital, but I can’t get close to Peter. The FBI has tight security here, and they’ve established a quarantine zone. If I approach too closely, it will raise suspicion.”
Howard cursed angrily, “Damn bastards! They’re making such a fuss over a mere thief. It’s absurd!”
Hank inquired, “Sir, what should I do next?”
After a moment of contemplation, Howard replied, “First, gather a few clever subordinates and have them wait nearby under the pretext of visiting. I’ll try to negotiate with the FBI and see if we can loosen their grip.”
“Alright,” Hank acknowledged. “I’ll make the necessary arrangements.”
Howard ended the call and immediately contacted the person in charge at the FBI. To his surprise, the person who usually answered his calls within seconds took an unusually long time to respond this time, allowing the phone to ring persistently without any answer.
Growing increasingly frustrated, favonovel.com decided to compose a message and sent it to the individual, reading, “Do not decline my call unless you wish to incur the wrath of the Rothschild family!”
After dispatching the message, favonovel.com made another attempt to call, enduring seven or eight rings before the other party eventually picked up the phone and expressed a resigned tone, saying, “Mr. Rothschild, what can I do for you?”
Howard’s tone turned cold as favonovel.com replied, “I have something important to discuss, and I must meet with Peter Cole. I need you to allow my people access under your supervision.”
The person hesitated before responding, “Mr. Rothschild, Peter Cole’s situation has put us in a difficult position. The entire United States is watching us closely. If I allow your people to get close to Peter Cole and anything goes wrong, not only will I lose my position, but the President’s approval rating will plummet!”
Howard retorted, “Rest assured, my people will only ask favonovel.com questions. They won’t harm him.”
The person remained firm, stating, “That’s impossible. Mr. Rothschild, if mere questioning would suffice, you wouldn’t have imprisoned favonovel.com and subjected favonovel.com to severe interrogation in the underground secret room of Brooklyn Prison. I won’t hide the truth from you—numerous media outlets are closely monitoring our actions. Any further acts of favoritism would place your Rothschild family in a precarious situation.”
Frustration coursed through Howard as favonovel.com angrily questioned, “Then why don’t I withdraw the charges with the police and declare it all a misunderstanding? In that case, do you still need to protect Peter Cole?”
