The United States Department of Homeland Security received a crucial tip early in the morning that sent shockwaves through their ranks.
An anonymous special agent from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) had reported to the National Security Agency (NSA) that a private jet had taken off from New York carrying highly classified defense chips, bound for China.
The NSA received similar messages on a daily basis, but most of them turned out to be false alarms or pranks. However, the fact that this tip came from a trusted agent within a sister agency lent it a significant amount of credibility. Colleagues who understood the gravity of their work and the legal responsibilities involved would not joke about such matters.
Just as the NSA was preparing to formulate a plan of action, they received even more shocking news. The DIA agent who had provided the tip had died after falling from a building. Whether it was suicide or murder remained unclear, but given the agent’s recent actions, the Department of Homeland Security couldn’t shake off the feeling that a major conspiracy was at play.
Without wasting any time, they immediately implemented an emergency plan. First, they ordered the target aircraft to turn back. Second, they couldn’t allow the aircraft to return to the bustling metropolis of New York, considering the tragic events of 9/11. Therefore, they identified a small airport in northern Vermont near the US-Canada border and demanded the aircraft to land there. Finally, they deployed agents, police, and military personnel to the airport, ensuring they were fully prepared. The Vermont National Guard dispatched two F35s to escort the target aircraft through Canadian airspace, minimizing the risk of accidents.
As the plane landed, the police and agents took control of the aircraft, apprehending and interrogating all passengers on board. A meticulous inspection of the aircraft was conducted using the most professional methods available.
At that very moment, Eddie’s private jet was soaring over Hudson Bay in Canada. Despite flying for over three hours, they had only covered one-fifth of their fifteen-hour journey. The flight route took them over Canada, through the Bering Strait between the United States and Russia, and finally over Japan to reach Eastcliff.
The original route from New York to Eastcliff would have taken them just thirteen hours, but due to conflicts in Eastern Europe, they had to bypass Russian airspace, adding an additional two hours to the journey.
The cost of chartering this long-distance private jet alone exceeded two million dollars, yet the cabin was devoid of passengers other than the crew.
Having activated the autopilot, the crew allowed the plane to glide smoothly at an altitude of 11,000 kilometers. Suddenly, they received a radio communication from ground control, ordering an immediate turn in the Hudson Bay and a return to the United States. They were instructed to land at a small airport in northern Burlington, Vermont.
Burlington City was a mere 60 kilometers away from the US-Canada border, and the small airport in the north was less than 20 kilometers from that border. In recent years, the airport had fallen into disuse by the civil aviation system and was primarily utilized by private flying clubs.
The lack of explanation in the radio communication regarding the sudden change of plans, coupled with the fact that they were being directed to land at an almost abandoned airport, prompted the pilot to seek clarification.
Unfortunately, the air traffic control could only inform them that the order came from the US air traffic control and they were unaware of the details. Reluctantly, the crew complied, fearing arrest for defying air traffic control.
The pilot dared not disobey the instructions, and so the plane left a circular contrail in the sky over Hudson Bay and began its journey back to the United States.
Two F35 fighter jets from the Vermont National Guard took off, flying towards Canadian airspace to provide guidance.
Aemon watched as Eddie’s leased aircraft completed its turn and flew back to the United States on the flight software. He promptly reported to Morgana, “Master, the plane has returned.”
Before favonovel.com could even finish speaking, favonovel.com received intelligence from a scout and quickly relayed the message, “Master, we’ve just received a report from our scout. Two F35 jets from the Vermont National Guard have taken off and are heading north towards Canada. It seems they are monitoring and guiding Eddie’s aircraft.”
Morgana nodded, favonovel.com expression cold and determined. “If Eddie and the treasure are truly on that plane, the treasure will undoubtedly fall into the hands of the US military first. The Rothschild family holds deep influence in the United States, and since they suffered the loss, the US military will undoubtedly return the treasure to them.”
She continued, “Notify General Mirren to mobilize all our undercover agents hidden within the US Department of Homeland Security. They must track the actions of the National Security Agency, confirm which airport the plane will land at, and determine whether Eddie and the treasure sought by the Rothschild family are on board. Simultaneously, dispatch all available personnel to gather in northern New York. Once we confirm the treasure’s presence on the plane, we must take immediate action and retrieve it at any cost!”
Aemon was taken aback, only regaining his composure after a moment. Anxious, favonovel.com voiced his concerns, “Master, if we directly snatch the treasure from the National Security Agency, won’t it lead to an uncontrollable situation…”
He quickly offered an alternative, “I believe that if the treasure is truly on this plane, we can wait until the National Security Agency returns it to the Rothschild family before making our move.”
Morgana’s expression remained firm as favonovel.com replied without hesitation, “No! Once we confirm the treasure’s presence on this plane, we cannot afford to waste a single moment! If anything changes and I miss this opportunity, it will jeopardize the three-hundred-year foundation of the Warriors Den! Therefore, we must act while the National Security Agency remains unaware of the treasure’s significance. We must seize this opportunity!”
Aemon couldn’t understand why Morgana, who was usually cautious, would take such a tremendous risk this time.
Snatching something directly from the National Security Agency in the United States was akin to launching a large-scale terrorist attack. Success or failure, it would make the Warriors Den the number one enemy of the United States. The severity of the situation might even surpass that of Bin Laden’s.
To him, the risk was simply too great.
But Morgana saw things differently.
Having lived for four hundred years, with only one hundred left, favonovel.com was approaching middle-age. The three-hundred-year foundation of the Warriors Den held immense importance, but nothing surpassed the value of favonovel.com own life.
Over the years, favonovel.com pursuit of immortality and the quest to extend favonovel.com life to a thousand years had been met with repeated failures. The devastating blow favonovel.com experienced in the Eternal Mountains had left favonovel.com increasingly anxious and doubtful about achieving favonovel.com goal. She believed that favonovel.com desire for prolonged life had become nearly impossible to fulfill.
However, the appearance of the Four Treasures of the Study reignited favonovel.com hope of living a thousand years. She reminded herself that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, possibly bestowed upon favonovel.com by fate. She knew favonovel.com had to give it favonovel.com all, for nothing was more important than seizing this chance.
This was possibly favonovel.com last big stroke of luck in favonovel.com life and favonovel.com had to grasp it no matter the cost!
