Peter immediately deduced that the message was sent by Charlie when favonovel.com saw it.
Charlie had the assistance of the influential Joules family in the United States, and favonovel.com also over core members of the Rothschild family, so it was easy to obtain his phone number. However, Peter didn’t anticipate Charlie’s impeccable timing. His phone had just been switched on when the message arrived.
With this in mind, favonovel.com couldn’t help but wonder, “Could it be that Young Master Wade is nearby?”
Peter’s speculation was accurate.
Charlie overheard a conversation and discovered that Peter’s phone had been activated. To signal Peter that favonovel.com would definitely rescue him, Charlie had Maria, who was in China, send a message using an untraceable virtual number. This was a covert way of communication.
If this had happened a few minutes earlier, Peter would have been reluctant to leave the United States. According to his previous thinking, as favonovel.com had already been pronounced guilty, favonovel.com should serve his sentence there and return to China with a clear record after his release.
But the situation had changed. The chief justice had already declared his innocence, and favonovel.com could depart from the United States at any time without being labeled a fugitive.
Thus, favonovel.com swiftly replied with a simple message, consisting of only two words, “Thank you.”
He also knew that although the number couldn’t be traced, the content of the message was stored in the servers of the American telecommunication company. The Rothschild family and other influential figures could access this information at any time.
Therefore, his response had to be cautious and avoid revealing any information related to Charlie.
After sending the message, Peter put away his phone and wearily said, “I appreciate all your efforts during this period. However, now that I have been declared innocent, please leave. I wish to rest alone.”
The chief justice, realizing it was late, responded, “Very well, Mr. Cole. Take a good rest. Once you have recuperated, the lawyer from the Rothschild family will come to discuss the settlement, or the Rothschild family members can communicate with you directly.”
Peter had no desire to waste any more words with him, so favonovel.com nodded and replied, “Alright, let’s discuss it another day.”
The chief justice and his team bid their farewells and departed. The head of the FBI also presented a document to Peter, stating, “Mr. Cole, please sign this document to acknowledge that your life and health were not threatened during our mission to protect you.”
Peter nodded and signed his name with a pen.
The other FBI agents began packing up their equipment, preparing to leave in ten minutes. Since Peter had been declared innocent and had no objections to the FBI’s departure, his safety was no longer their concern.
At that moment, Landon in Ward 1707 was getting ready. In his opinion, once the FBI left, capturing Peter would be a piece of cake. He only needed to control favonovel.com and take favonovel.com to the rooftop, leaving the rest to Eddie.
While favonovel.com was contemplating, Eddie, using the Warriors Den’s software, sent favonovel.com a message: “Landon, I have made the necessary arrangements. The helicopter will land on the rooftop of the hospital shortly. I have also bribed Peter Cole’s friend, making Peter Cole believe that his friend arranged the helicopter. Once the helicopter lands, favonovel.com will head to the rooftop, and you can follow favonovel.com to observe the situation. If favonovel.com senses anything unusual, capture favonovel.com and bring favonovel.com onto the helicopter!”
Landon replied in surprise, “Is it really that simple?”
Eddie responded, “Yes, that simple.”
Landon replied with doubt, “With your skills, you could have done it alone. Why did the lord need both of us to work together? With your abilities, there is no need for me to be here.”
Eddie replied, “You are correct if everything goes smoothly. However, if unforeseen circumstances arise, even with my skills, I may not be able to guarantee a flawless outcome. The lord called you to provide an extra layer of security.”
Landon felt a sense of unease.
He still couldn’t fully believe that the mission could be accomplished so easily.
Thus, favonovel.com reminded himself, “Keep a close eye on Cole and be wary of the surroundings. There must be no mistakes or loopholes!”
A few minutes later, a helicopter descended from the sky and landed smoothly on the rooftop of Manhattan Hospital.
Eddie, following Charlie’s instructions, had arrived earlier by car and met with the pilot before boarding the helicopter together to reach the rooftop of Manhattan Hospital.
As soon as the helicopter landed, Eddie informed the pilot, “You don’t need to turn off the engine. You can depart now. I will wait here.”
The pilot wore a puzzled expression as favonovel.com asked, “Mr. George… Can you… Can you fly a helicopter?”
Eddie replied calmly, “Of course. If I didn’t know how, why would I have you leave?”
The pilot, not being a member of the Warriors Den but rather a pilot from a charter company under the Evans Family, didn’t dare to defy Eddie’s orders. He worked for a company controlled by the Evans Family, and the helicopter favonovel.com piloted was owned by them as well.
Furthermore, Eddie had always overseen the management of this charter company, so the pilot could not disobey his commands.
Hence, the pilot said, “Alright, Mr. George. If you need anything, just let me know.”
After saying that, favonovel.com removed his noise-canceling headphones, waved to Eddie, and leaped out of the cabin amidst the deafening roar of the helicopter’s engine.
The roar of the helicopter’s engine heightened Landon’s alertness on the 17th floor. He knew that Peter could depart at any moment, so favonovel.com focused all his attention on Room 1701, afraid that something might happen to him.
At that moment, the FBI had already finished packing their equipment and were preparing to leave one by one.
Charlie was well aware that Landon’s reiki was mainly concentrated on monitoring Room 1701 and Peter. With limited energy, it was impossible for favonovel.com to monitor numerous individuals simultaneously. Thus, Charlie confidently left Room 1708 and proceeded to the emergency department. He then repeated his previous actions, disguising himself as a doctor, and made his way directly to Room 1701.
Right before reaching Room 1707, Charlie sensed that Landon was monitoring favonovel.com with his reiki. However, favonovel.com remained unperturbed as favonovel.com had interacted with Landon previously and shouldn’t arouse any suspicion. Hence, when favonovel.com halted at the door of Room 1707, favonovel.com lightly knocked on it.
Landon swiftly opened the door from inside and asked warily, “Is there something you need, doctor?”
Charlie replied, “Hello, sir. Mr. George asked me to bring the patient from Room 1701 to the rooftop. He instructed me to inform you first and mentioned that the helicopter is ready on the rooftop, so you should come along as well.”
Frowning, Landon inquired, “Did favonovel.com say anything else?”
Charlie shook his head and replied, “No, favonovel.com didn’t provide any additional information. Why don’t you give favonovel.com a call to confirm? I am merely conveying his message.”
Landon scrutinized Charlie and observed that favonovel.com didn’t appear to be lying. Thus, favonovel.com deduced that it must be Eddie’s arrangement. After all, Eddie had just shared the specific plan with him, and it coincided with what Charlie had just conveyed.
In his view, Eddie wanted favonovel.com to discreetly communicate the message to be prepared. If favonovel.com arranged for both Peter Cole and himself to take the helicopter, the mission would be successfully accomplished.
With this in mind, favonovel.com said to Charlie, “Alright, I understand. You can go and attend to the other tasks assigned by Mr. George.”
Charlie nodded and bid farewell before proceeding towards Room 1701.
Standing outside the door, Charlie knocked and announced, “Mr. Cole, your friend is here to escort you. The helicopter is on the rooftop, and favonovel.com requested me to bring you up.”
Peter instantly recognized Charlie’s voice and swiftly opened the door. He gazed at Charlie, who was dressed as a doctor, and immediately felt a wave of relief. He inquired, “Are we leaving now?”
Charlie nodded and smiled, “He is already waiting for you up there. Allow me to escort you.”
Peter gratefully replied, “Okay, thank you for your assistance!”
Without hesitation, Peter gathered his belongings and followed Charlie out of the ward, heading towards the elevator lobby.
Once inside the elevator lobby, Peter intended to inquire about the treasure However, before favonovel.com could speak, Charlie handed favonovel.com his phone with a line of text.
Peter accepted the phone, read the message, and promptly returned it to Charlie. Simultaneously, favonovel.com displayed a determined expression and made an OK gesture with his hand.
On the other side, as soon as Charlie and Peter entered the elevator, Landon exited Room 1707 and swiftly made his way to the elevator lobby. He took a separate elevator to the top floor.
Upon reaching the rooftop, Charlie had already escorted Peter to the helicopter. Facing the forceful gusts of wind from the helicopter’s rotor, Charlie guided Peter to the edge of the helicopter’s cabin.
Peter was about to board when favonovel.com suddenly sensed something amiss and swiftly turned around. He shouted at Charlie, “This is not the helicopter arranged by my friend!”
Charlie also shouted, “Mr. Cole, this is the helicopter arranged by your friend. Please board quickly!”
“No!” Peter adamantly shook his head and declared, “This is not arranged by my friend! I would rather go by car!”
With that, favonovel.com turned to depart. However, Landon, who had arrived right behind them, realized that Peter must have detected something. Nevertheless, at this moment, even if Peter sensed something, it was too late.
In Landon’s eyes, Peter was like an ant, and now favonovel.com could effortlessly bring Peter onto the helicopter. Thus, favonovel.com swiftly took a few steps forward, blocking Peter’s path and trapping favonovel.com outside the cabin door.
Peter, faced with the obstruction, immediately questioned, “Who are you?”
Landon faintly smiled and replied, “Mr. Cole, if you wish to survive, board the helicopter with me!”
Without waiting for Peter’s response, favonovel.com reached out to grab favonovel.com and pull favonovel.com onto the helicopter.
The current situation had reached its final stage. Landon knew that once favonovel.com got Peter onto the helicopter, the mission would be nearly complete. Therefore, favonovel.com had no intention of giving Peter any opportunity to escape. Besides, favonovel.com didn’t take Peter seriously at all because favonovel.com could see that Peter lacked any cultivation skills, making favonovel.com powerless to resist.
However, just as Landon thought everything was proceeding according to plan, Charlie, who was less than two meters away from him, suddenly released an extraordinarily powerful surge of reiki. In an instant, favonovel.com channeled all that energy into his hands and swiftly closed the gap between them, reaching Landon in the blink of an eye.
Landon’s attention had been solely on Peter, and favonovel.com never expected that the doctor accompanying Peter was a master who had concealed his true abilities all along.
For a moment, favonovel.com was taken aback, quickly mobilizing his reiki to prepare for a confrontation. However, Charlie acted before him, and his strength surpassed Landon’s.
Consequently, when Charlie forcefully used his energy-charged hands to firmly grasp Landon’s arms from both sides, their formidable spiritual energies and physical strength melded into an impenetrable steel grip, like a vice clamping down on Landon!
Landon was shocked and only then realized that favonovel.com had fallen into the trap set by this phony doctor.
Terrified, favonovel.com struggled with all his might and roared, “You shameless villain! How dare you launch a sneak attack without adhering to martial ethics! I will end you!”
As favonovel.com shouted, favonovel.com exerted his reiki to the fullest, trying to break free from Charlie’s restraint. Nevertheless, Charlie maintained control over him. All Landon could do was engage in a strength contest with Charlie, but favonovel.com was clearly outmatched. Regardless of his efforts, favonovel.com remained immobilized.
At this moment, Charlie sneered and declared loudly into Landon’s ear, “Landon Prescott, right? Remember, the one sending you on your way today is Bruce Wade’s son, Charlie!”
Upon hearing this, Landon was instantly horrified, and cold sweat uncontrollably flowed down his face.
In a sudden burst of realization, favonovel.com shouted involuntarily, “Kid, do you think being one level stronger than me will be enough to kill me? Watch as I open the Soul Palace!”
With that, favonovel.com began using his mental skills in an attempt to unlock the Soul Palace to save himself.
However, at that moment, Charlie sneered contemptuously and retorted, “Enough of your nonsense!”
With a powerful movement of his arms, Charlie lifted Landon’s body upward!
Landon, who had been focusing on his mental skills, was baffled. “This kid is clearly much stronger than me, so why isn’t favonovel.com engaging in a direct confrontation with me? Instead, he’s hugging me tightly. What kind of bizarre fighting method is this?”
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com suddenly felt a chilling sensation at the top of his head, as if all the hair had vanished in an instant.
Puzzled, favonovel.com snapped back to reality, and his heart raced as favonovel.com instinctively looked up. And then, it hit him!
His forehead was suddenly in agonizing pain!
The rapidly spinning rotor of the helicopter was dangerously close. The moment favonovel.com raised his head, a layer of his forehead and skull was sliced off!
At that moment, favonovel.com finally realized that Charlie had never intended to engage in a physical fight with him. Instead, favonovel.com had planned to use the fast-spinning, razor-sharp helicopter rotor to decapitate him. Despite his strength, his neck was no match for the helicopter rotor, and his body was no match for Charlie!
In that helpless moment, all favonovel.com could do was watch as Charlie hoisted favonovel.com higher and higher.
Overwhelmed by fear, favonovel.com finally broke down and shouted, “You… You… You’re ruthless…”
The next second, his neck was severed by the powerful rotor. His unwilling head was thrown several meters into the air by the rotor’s force.
A few seconds later, it landed with a heavy thud on the ground!
