At this moment, Eddie’s heart trembled with an overwhelming fear. It was his father and grandfather’s self-sacrifice to dismantle the Warriors Den that had granted favonovel.com the chance to become an “intellectual.”
To distinguish himself among the countless “intellectuals”, favonovel.com had devoured countless tomes and endured countless hardships. Throughout the decades, favonovel.com had encountered countless obstacles and trials.
Now, favonovel.com found himself in the clutches of Charlie, and it seemed that Charlie’s associates had already resolved to end his life. A sense of impending doom filled favonovel.com to the brim.
Driven by an intense will to survive, favonovel.com stammered, “Uh… since you possess such profound knowledge about the inner workings of the Warriors Den, you must also be aware of the tragic fate that befalls individuals like us. If circumstances allowed, I would never have willingly served the Warriors Den or contributed to their cause. I implore you to spare my life. If you are willing to spare me, I will serve as your spy within the Warriors Den! I will report their every move to you and do whatever you ask of me. This way, I can seek redemption, which is far preferable to meeting my demise!”
Charlie grinned and replied, “You and my aunt are both disciples of the same sect. During the incident in New York where the Warriors Den conspired to annihilate my entire family, you must have been aware of it. Why, then, did you not consider your relationship with my aunt? Why did you not consider the immense kindness my grandfather bestowed upon you?”
Eddie was left speechless. He was acutely aware of that incident.
Thus, favonovel.com dared not conceal anything and sobbed, “Uh… during that time, it was the lord who ordered the execution of your entire family. We were merely following orders. My aunt and I were mere pawns in the grand scheme. The reason I was spared was because the lord ,believed that, after eradicating the Evans Family and seizing their business, there needed to be someone suitable to inherit the Evans Family’s assets. As a male, I was deemed more suitable than my aunt, so I was allowed to remain…”
Charlie nodded, “Regardless, by choosing loyalty to Morgana over the lives of the Evans Family, you have proven yourself unworthy of pity!”
Eddie pleaded, “Uh… spare my life, for it will benefit you and cause no harm. I can remain within the Warriors Den as an undercover agent. There are many ways I can assist you! If I die, it will be a great loss for both you and the Evans Family!”
Charlie sneered, “Do you truly believe that Morgana would consent to you remaining as my undercover agent?”
Eddie asked, bewildered, “If you don’t inform her, how would Morgana find out?”
Charlie’s smile turned cold, “Don’t you know? Morgana is already en route to New York.”
“What?!” Eddie exclaimed in shock, “Lord… oh no… Morgana is coming to New York?!”
“Yes,” Charlie affirmed, “My plan is to eliminate Landon before Morgana arrives. Once Landon is dead and you are the sole survivor, Morgana will undoubtedly seek you out for answers.”
Eddie hastily extended his right hand and earnestly pleaded, “You can trust me. I won’t breathe a word about you!”
Charlie sneered, “Landon may not be well-versed in psychological manipulation, but Morgana certainly is. She will find a way to make you spill everything. Instead of letting you expose my information in front of Morgana, it is better for me to eliminate you as well, giving Morgana an even greater shock!”
Eddie was consumed by terror and blurted out, “You can’t do this… it’s inhumane!”
Charlie mocked, “Humanity is the last thing I need when dealing with people like you.”
With that, Charlie fixed his gaze upon Eddie, and a surge of energy infiltrated his mind. He coldly commanded, “Eddie, from this moment on, you will answer every question I pose without reservation. You will obey my every command without the slightest hint of defiance. Do you understand?”
Eddie’s eyes flickered for a moment, then favonovel.com replied resolutely, “I understand!”
Charlie inquired, “Why did the Warriors Den not cease their actions after my parents’ deaths, but instead send you and my aunt to infiltrate my grandfather’s family?”
Eddie shook his head, “I do not know… all I know is that in the year of your parents’ demise, we received orders for training. Nearly sixty ‘intellectuals’ partook in the training, with the goal of successfully marrying your aunt and uncle. However, we are ignorant of why the lord desired such an arrangement.”
Charlie furrowed his brow and pressed further, “Why did Morgana harbor you all within my grandfather’s family for so long, only to turn against them and plot the extermination of my entire family?”
Eddie replied in a bewildered tone, “I do not know… from my speculation, it was perhaps to ensure my smooth ascension to the Evans Family. Once the Evans Family is eradicated and I assume control, the Evans Family would belong to the Warriors Den.”
Charlie shook his head, “That is highly unlikely. If I, a mere pawn in favonovel.com eyes, am deemed expendable, Morgana would be even less inclined to pursue such a course of action! She must have other motives!”
Eddie said, “I am unaware of them. Our access to information is limited. Since our departure from the organization, we have lived in the outside world, maintaining contact with the organization through covert channels. We have never returned to the organization since our departure. Hence, I am ignorant of the lord’s intentions…”
Charlie nodded slightly, realizing that uncovering the Warriors Den’s reasons for targeting his grandfather’s family would be unlikely through Eddie. He would need to seize another opportunity in the future to unveil the truth.
For now, the utmost priority was to safely retrieve Peter from the hospital after the Rothschild family relinquished their pursuit of him. Simultaneously, favonovel.com needed to find another opening to eliminate Landon. As for Eddie, his demise was a minor matter, not worthy of mention.
The remaining matters could be addressed in due course.
After a moment of contemplation, a plan had already formed in Charlie’s mind. He then issued an order to Eddie, “Assist me in arranging for a helicopter. Inform the individual in charge of Manhattan Hospital that a helicopter will touch down on the rooftop helipad within a few hours to retrieve a patient. Ensure they make the necessary preparations.”
Eddie immediately acquiesced without hesitation, “Very well! Arranging the helicopter is a simple task. I can attend to it now.”
Charlie instructed, “Keep the helicopter on standby. Leave the rest to me.”
Eddie nodded subconsciously, “Alright! I will make the arrangements.”
Charlie then asked him, “Send a message to Landon, informing favonovel.com that you have just received reliable insider information that the court may announce the acquittal and release of Peter Cole within two or three hours. In light of this, the FBI should withdraw. Advise favonovel.com to exercise patience and await the opportune moment. Caution favonovel.com against acting rashly!”
Eddie promptly followed the instructions and sent a text message to Landon.
In the hospital room, Landon read the message with elation and replied, “Eddie, is this news reliable?”
Eddie replied as directed, “Absolutely! Landon, exercise patience a little longer. Once favonovel.com is acquitted, you will undoubtedly have the perfect opening.”
“Excellent!” Landon replied without hesitation, “Then I shall await his acquittal before making my move!”
