The Left Army Governor’s Mansion’s jurisdiction extended across the vast expanse of the Americas, with a particular focus on the economically thriving North America. The Evans Family, the second most influential family in North America, was no stranger to the Left Army Governor’s Mansion. Moreover, with Eddie’s long-term undercover mission within the Warriors Den, they possessed extensive knowledge about the Evans Family.
Upon Morgana’s request, their attention immediately shifted to the Evans Family’s aviation company.
Under the command of Sylvester Mirren, over a thousand scouts from the Left Army Governor’s Mansion, who had maintained a silent presence within the United States for several days, were mobilized.
A small group of scouts began searching for clues regarding Eddie and Landon, while the majority infiltrated various locations in New York to investigate the stolen antique from the Rothschild Family.
Simultaneously, scouts closest to the aviation company swiftly arrived at the scene to carry out their investigation.
Scouts were highly skilled reconnaissance soldiers directly under the command of the Warriors Den, serving as a vital source of intelligence. Each scout underwent rigorous training and ingested poison to ensure their unwavering loyalty to the Warriors Den.
Within half an hour, the nearest scout arrived at the Evans Family’s aviation company.
Upon arrival, the scout immediately discovered signs of a significant fire that had occurred at the aviation company the previous night, and it appeared that the fire had only recently been extinguished.
After conducting a thorough investigation, it was determined that one of the helicopter hangars had caught fire in the early morning hours, resulting in the destruction of a helicopter. Fortunately, no casualties were found at the scene.
Realizing the unusual nature of the situation, the scout swiftly reported the information to their superior.
Upon receiving the news, the Left Army Governor’s Mansion informed Aemon and activated their highly placed undercover agent hidden within the New York State Legislature to gather detailed information about the fire.
After receiving the report, Aemon solemnly informed Morgana, “My Lord, the Left Army Governor’s Mansion has been informed that the Evans Family’s aviation company in New York caught fire early this morning, resulting in the destruction of a helicopter. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported.”
Morgana furrowed favonovel.com brows and spoke in a stern voice, “Another fire! Twenty years ago, Bruce Wade and Lily Evans also perished in a fire. Even now, I cannot be certain if the two individuals who died in that fire were truly them!”
She continued, favonovel.com expression darkening, “Bruce Wade set that fire to prevent me from confirming their identities. Now, they are attempting to leave me with no leads! If no one died in this fire, why was it set?”
Aemon nodded and replied seriously, “The fire in the helicopter hangar is undoubtedly not a mere coincidence. It must have been deliberately orchestrated to cover up some crucial clues.”
He continued, his expression grave, “In Cyprus, the entire copper mine was destroyed, and if they hadn’t been pressed for time, they probably wouldn’t have left any trace of Jarvis Delgado’s remains. Last time, it was an explosion; this time, it’s a fire. It appears that the situation is far from optimistic.”
Morgana immediately inquired, “Are there any other leads?”
Aemon responded, “My Lord, General Mirren has already activated the most skilled undercover agents. They will uncover any leads as quickly as possible!”
Morgana nodded lightly and said coldly, “Order all the scouts from the Right Army Governor’s Mansion stationed in Europe to swiftly arrive in New York. The scouts from the Central, Front, and Rear Army Governor’s Mansions should also be on high alert and reach New York by noon tomorrow! We must conduct a thorough search of New York and uncover any clues related to the people involved and the stolen antique!”
Aemon immediately replied, “Understood!”
***
The scouts in New York swiftly uncovered some valuable leads. The first clue indicated that the surveillance system of the aviation company had been intentionally shut down the previous night, with the order coming directly from Eddie himself.
Furthermore, the scouts at the aviation company reported that due to the extensive damage caused by the fire, it was challenging to find any significant clues. However, they managed to collect samples from the scene and conducted a quick test using luminol reagent.
Luminol reagent was a common method employed in criminal investigations to detect the presence of blood. It could reveal even the tiniest traces of blood, even if it had been meticulously cleaned.
However, the entire scene had been professionally cleaned by the Rothschild Family, and not a single trace of blood or DNA remained. Therefore, the scouts found no evidence of anyone’s presence at the site of the fire.
Upon receiving this information, Morgana furrowed favonovel.com brows and asked, “There were truly no casualties at the scene of the fire?”
Aemon replied, “Based on the current investigation, there is indeed no evidence of any personnel being present at the scene. Not even a single singed hair was found.”
Morgana firmly stated, “That’s impossible. If the fire was intentionally set, it must have been to destroy evidence. Otherwise, why go to such lengths? In a high-stakes game, every move has a purpose!”
She continued, favonovel.com expression darkening, “Have them investigate further! Find out about the aviation company’s employees, who was on duty last night, who they encountered, and if there were any abnormalities. Gather all the information!”
Aemon quickly responded, “Yes, my lord. I will relay the orders!”
Soon, the scouts, following Morgana’s instructions, conducted their investigations and reported back with information.
Upon receiving the information, Aemon’s expression drastically changed, and favonovel.com hurriedly reported to Morgana, “My Lord, we have received news! Last night, Eddie personally arranged for a private jet. He requested the aviation company’s pilot to fly the helicopter near Manhattan Hospital, where favonovel.com boarded the helicopter and flew directly to the rooftop of Manhattan Hospital.”
Morgana furrowed favonovel.com brows and asked, “And then?”
Aemon recounted, “Eddie then personally escorted the pilot away, indicating his intention to operate the helicopter himself. The pilot complied without protest and departed, leaving the helicopter in his capable hands.”
Curious, Morgana pressed further, “Is there any additional information the pilot might possess?”
Aemon shook his head, responding, “None. Following his departure from the hospital, the pilot hailed a taxi to return home and rest. The police summoned favonovel.com today to aid in their investigation.”
Continuing, Aemon mentioned, “The authorities also interrogated the on-duty hangar employees from early this morning. According to their accounts, before dawn, Eddie had flown the helicopter back to the general aviation company on his own. After parking the helicopter inside the hangar, favonovel.com bid farewell to one of the employees. Strangely, shortly after the employee left, the hangar erupted in flames. It was an intense fire that seemed suspiciously deliberate.”
Morgana’s expression turned grim. “According to this, Eddie and Landon should already be dead. I never expected that the four marshals of the Warriors Den, who have been invincible for decades, would fall one after another in such a short period of time.”
She continued, clenching favonovel.com fist and displaying a fierce expression, “What I find most unacceptable is that I have no information about the person behind their deaths. I don’t know their name or the extent of their power. In over three hundred years, apart from being chased into the mountains by the rebel army, I have never found myself in such a powerless situation! It’s infuriating!”
Aemon’s expression was filled with regret and concern.
The deaths of the four marshals would undoubtedly have a profound impact on the entire Warriors Den. It would raise doubts and concerns among him, the Three Elders, and the Mirren family, who led the Five Military Governor’s Offices, about the future.
Once doubt seeped into everyone’s minds, the stability that the Warriors Den had maintained for three hundred years would be shattered from within.
At that moment, Aemon received a phone call, and his face immediately turned pale. He hurriedly said to Morgana, “My lord, the Left Army Governor’s Mansion has just received a report. Eddie chartered a private jet and flew from New York to China in the early hours of this morning!”
“What?!” Morgana’s heart skipped a beat, and favonovel.com exclaimed, “Is this information reliable?!”
“It is absolutely reliable!” Aemon said with certainty. “The plane was indeed chartered by him, and the flight plan was from New York to Eastcliff. The plane has been in the air for over three hours now!”
Morgana’s heart tightened, and favonovel.com asked, “Do you think Eddie is on that plane?”
Aemon replied, “My lord, I cannot be entirely certain, but the timing of the plane’s departure is too coincidental. And the antique dealer has also disappeared. It’s not impossible that Eddie first gained control over the antique dealer, acquired the valuable item you sought, and then escaped to China…”
He then reconsidered his own speculation and shook his head. “No, Eddie has always been highly regarded by you, and his parents and siblings are in our custody. He would never dare to betray you. Moreover, favonovel.com needs to regularly take the antidote. Without it, even if favonovel.com were to betray you, how long could favonovel.com survive? In any case, there is no reason for favonovel.com to betray you!”
Morgana shook favonovel.com head and said, “The situation has changed. The past three hundred years have been vastly different from today’s circumstances. In those three hundred years, I never encountered opponents or anyone capable of neutralizing our poison. But now, we face a formidable adversary, and it’s possible that they have discovered an antidote!”
She continued, “Think about it. In Cyprus, the entire copper mine was destroyed, but only Jarvis’ remains were found. This indicates that the others were already moved to safety. Otherwise, they could have been eliminated alongside Jarvis in the mine. The assassins and elite guards willingly allowed themselves to be moved. They knew they couldn’t survive without the antidote for more than a month. It’s highly likely that our enemy has found a way to neutralize our poison!”
Aemon’s expression turned serious, and favonovel.com quickly asked, “My lord, should we attempt to intercept the plane?”
“Intercept it! We must intercept it!” Morgana said without hesitation. “Have our infiltrators within the U.S. intelligence system file an official report with the Department of Homeland Security, stating that someone carrying vital classified information is on board that plane bound for China. Given the Americans’ inclination to err on the side of caution, they will certainly order the plane to return for investigation!”
Aemon instinctively said, “My lord, such a report can be made anonymously. There’s no need for our infiltrators to reveal their identities, as it may jeopardize their safety.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Morgana said expressionlessly. “Tell them that this is an excellent opportunity for them to make a name for themselves. After filing the report, they can take their own lives. Once they’re dead, not only will their identities remain concealed, but the Americans will be even more convinced that something fishy is going on. Even if they deploy their air force, they will undoubtedly bring that plane back!”
