Howard’s panic stemmed from his knowledge of the ancient and enigmatic secret organization known as the Warriors Den, a topic often whispered by his fathers.
While favonovel.com didn’t possess much information about the society, his elders had imparted one crucial piece of advice: if favonovel.com ever encountered the Warriors Den, favonovel.com should steer clear of them at all costs.
Unlike other organizations motivated by monetary gain, the Warriors Den had a far more sinister agenda – they sought lives.
With a penchant for wiping out entire families, they reveled in the act of taking lives.
However, in the United States, only the elite super families like the Rothschilds were familiar with the Warriors Den. For the majority of people, the name of the Warriors Den remained unknown.
This was because the American upper class was a complex tapestry of different groups.
One part consisted of the nouveau riche who emerged during the rise of Silicon Valley and the Wall Street financial market. Though they possessed wealth, their foundations were shallow.
Another part comprised of old money families who had amassed their fortunes during the early stages of World War II. While they had some foundation, it was not substantial.
Then there were the political families who had gradually ascended to power after World War II. These families might not have possessed great wealth, but their infiltration of the political arena granted them access to a wealth of information.
Among these three groups, only the political families had some knowledge of the Warriors Den. However, to avoid unnecessary risks, they refrained from opposing the society and kept any information about them concealed.
The Warriors Den differed greatly from typical terrorist organizations. With their centuries-long infiltration of various parts of the world and society, they far surpassed the guerrilla fighters who had been hiding in the Middle Eastern mountains for a mere dozen years or so. The political families were well aware of this and approached them with caution.
Aside from the political families, the only other individuals in America who knew about the Warriors Den were those who had dealt with them directly, as well as the long-established Rothschild family.
Having been rooted in Europe for many years, the Rothschilds had shifted their focus to the United States during World War II in search of refuge. Their ancestors had been privy to the existence of the Warriors Den and had witnessed their methods two hundred years prior.
Despite the passing of two centuries, the successive heads of the Rothschild family continued to impress upon their successors the importance of never offending the Warriors Den, no matter what.
While Howard didn’t take the Warriors Den seriously, since his grandfather’s generation had hardly any real contact with them, the legends surrounding the society persisted within the family’s traditions, albeit treated as mere stories.
However, when Hank mentioned the Warriors Den, Howard’s perception shifted drastically. He now realized that not only did the Warriors Den truly exist, but they were also right beside him.
What terrified favonovel.com even more was the fact that favonovel.com had unwittingly become entangled with the Warriors Den by acquiring an antique…
***
While Hank and his comrades hastily evacuated, several fire departments in New York received an alarm and dispatched teams to extinguish the blaze at the aviation company.
The fire, fueled by aviation gasoline, quickly spiraled out of control. The intense heat within the hangar ignited the aviation kerosene in the helicopter’s fuel tank, resulting in a massive explosion that sent flames soaring into the night sky, flipping the hangar’s roof in the process.
Observing the flames from the sky as favonovel.com boarded a helicopter bound for the U.S.-Canada border, Charlie knew that Eddie must have perished in the inferno. The hangar had become the crematorium favonovel.com had prepared for Eddie George and Landon Prescott.
Taking out his phone, Charlie sent a message to Jack: “Fire. Await Ronald’s call.”
This was the secret code favonovel.com had agreed upon with his grandfather. Informing favonovel.com of the fire signaled Eddie’s demise.
Waiting for Ronald’s call meant that someone from the Rothschild family might soon contact his grandfather.
Prior to this, Charlie had informed his grandfather of his plan, and Jack was aware of the situation.
At that moment, Jack, accompanied by Charlie’s two uncles, was attending a signing banquet hosted by a domestic aircraft manufacturer, keeping the old man company.
Upon receiving Charlie’s message, Jack approached the old man and whispered in his ear, “Uncle Evans, there’s a fire. Ronald might call you.”
Samuel paused for a moment, then nodded softly and replied, “I understand.”
Charlie’s speculations had proven correct.
Filled with fear, Howard immediately dialed Samuel’s number in China after gathering all his men.
Although Howard and Samuel had minimal contact, as the leaders of the two largest families in the United States, they possessed each other’s contact information.
Upon seeing Howard’s call, Samuel knew that his grandson had once again unraveled everything. This time, his grandson deliberately aimed to implicate the Rothschild family, diverting the Warriors Den’s attention. And it seemed that favonovel.com had achieved his goal.
Finding a quiet spot in the lounge provided by the organizer, Samuel answered Howard’s call.
Unable to conceal his nervousness, Howard anxiously asked, “Brother Samuel, have you been in China recently?”
“Yes,” Samuel replied, “I’ve been in Eastcliff. Brother, is there something you need?”
Howard cautiously inquired, “Samuel, are you familiar with the Warriors Den?”
Samuel openly admitted, “Of course I am. They took the lives of my eldest daughter and son-in-law in the past. We were nearly wiped out by them when our family was in New York some time ago. The reason I came to China is precisely to escape them. The Evans family won’t be returning to the United States for quite some time.”
After saying that, Samuel pretended to be curious and asked him: “Brother, why did you suddenly ask about the Warriors Den?”
Howard sighed and said, “I don’t know how, but I suddenly got involved with them.”
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com suddenly remembered something and said quickly, “Samuel, are you aware that your son-in-law, Eddie, is a member of the Warriors Den?”
Samuel confirmed, “I am. Even my youngest daughter-in-law is a member. Moreover, these two individuals weren’t coerced into joining halfway through their lives; they were trained by the Warriors Den from a young age. Over a dozen or so years ago, the Warriors Den specifically targeted my youngest son and daughter, providing them with specialized training. It’s incredibly difficult to guard against them.”
Howard grew even more terrified. He blurted out, “Samuel, don’t you thoroughly investigate the backgrounds of your children’s partners before they marry?”
Samuel casually responded, “We did, but the key point is that we investigated their ancestors for eight generations and still found nothing amiss. Since they decided to infiltrate us, naturally they were able to withstand any investigation. The Warriors Den’s strength exceeds our imagination, making it nearly impossible to escape their clutches.”
“Oh my god…” Howard exclaimed, “Are these people demons? Spending so many years and so much effort to send two agents undercover into your family, and they’re even the partners of your son and daughter. Their capabilities are beyond terrifying…”
“Indeed,” Samuel sighed, then asked, “Brother, how did you discover all of this?”
Dejectedly, Howard replied, “It’s a long story. Some time ago, we lost an antique at home, and I made a huge fuss about finding it. Today, my men were investigating the antique dealer who swapped the artifact, and they discovered that your son-in-law, Eddie, took it away…”
Samuel sighed, “Brother, you’re mistaken! You are part of the mighty Rothschild family, yet you caused such a commotion over a lost antique. It was obvious to anyone that the item must have had extraordinary origins, and the Warriors Den, with its centuries of history, likely had deep connections to what you lost. It’s only natural that they would target you.”
Howard felt even more distraught upon hearing this, his emotions becoming agitated. He blurted out, “But the issue is that your son-in-law doesn’t play fair either. I didn’t have any ulterior motives when I sent men to pursue him; I simply wanted to find that Peter Cole. Yet, favonovel.com needlessly set himself on fire. Was that really necessary?”
