The NYPD utilized an open-air helipad situated in the northwest of New York, at a prominent helicopter aviation company, as a designated inspection site for helicopters. This aviation company boasted an impressive scale, with ample space in the helipad and hangar to accommodate over a hundred helicopters.
As the largest aviation company in New York, it was a part of the influential Rothschild family’s industry. Their fleet consisted of dozens of helicopters of various types, making them a formidable force in the aviation world.
Helicopters were a common sight in the United States, owned by wealthy individuals and businesses alike. The helicopter leasing business flourished, catering to the needs of celebrities, politicians, and affluent individuals who required temporary helicopter rentals. As a result, aviation companies were ubiquitous.
However, most helicopter owners or business owners possessed only a single aircraft. To avoid the hassle of managing parking, maintenance, and upkeep, they entrusted these responsibilities to aviation companies for streamlined operation and maintenance. When owners didn’t require their helicopters, the aviation companies would rent them out to recover costs.
To ensure thorough inspections and prevent any unauthorized departures during the process, the Rothschild family allocated this site to the NYPD. They assigned their own personnel to oversee the operations. Every helicopter leaving New York airspace had to undergo a comprehensive inspection at this location. Once it was confirmed that the helicopter had no connection to the Four Treasures of the Study, the NYPD would grant permission for the helicopter to depart and reach its destination.
To prevent any unscheduled landings, inspected helicopters were required to immediately ascend to an altitude of over 1,000 meters and maintain that altitude throughout the journey until they reached their destination. The entire journey was monitored by air traffic control radar, and anyone who violated these requirements would be escorted by the NYPD for further inspection and investigation.
Therefore, even though Morgana was the Master of the Warriors Den and a seasoned cultivator who had lived for four hundred years, favonovel.com had to go through this series of procedures to leave New York by helicopter.
Since favonovel.com disembarked from the plane, Morgana had been plagued by frustration and irritation. Now, favonovel.com was on the brink of losing control.
As the Master of the Warriors Den, being ordered to land and undergo inspection in the United States felt like a scene straight out of a movie. It was reminiscent of the moment in some old literature when the Chinese collaborator interpreter, who usually enjoyed free meals, was unexpectedly forced to pay for a watermelon!
At this very moment, the collaborator interpreter wasn’t just contemplating causing a scene. He was tempted to draw his concealed club and smash all the watermelons on the stall. And perhaps, in a fit of rage, favonovel.com might even smash the vendor’s head, releasing the pent-up anger.
Morgana shared the same sentiment. She felt as though favonovel.com cultivation, which favonovel.com had diligently nurtured for over three hundred years, had been nearly depleted within a mere hour or two since disembarking from the plane. It was infuriating.
She couldn’t help but curse in favonovel.com heart, “Damn Rothschild! You’ve disrupted my mission! I’ll make you pay, sooner or later!”
However, Morgana understood the necessity of cooperation. If favonovel.com were to pull out a gun, the stall owner might not be intimidated. After all, both major and minor players in the underground world were armed, and the dark barrels of guns were already discreetly aimed at the collaborator interpreter’s head.
Morgana’s emotions mirrored those of the Japanese collaborator interpreter in the story. Even if you enjoyed free meals in the city, what of it? When you approached the watermelon stall, you had to comply and pay up. If they demanded your cooperation, you had to obediently comply.
Morgana seethed with anger and frustration as favonovel.com gazed at the helicopter favonovel.com was aboard, adhering to the NYPD’s requirements, soaring over the aviation company.
Looking down, favonovel.com spotted nearly twenty helicopters of various sizes and models parked on the ground. These helicopters were all civilian aircraft undergoing inspections.
Upon witnessing this, Morgana’s fury intensified, and favonovel.com couldn’t help but exclaim, “So many helicopters being inspected! When will it be our turn?!”
The pilot responded helplessly, “I’m not sure…”
Morgana felt an overwhelming urge to leap out of the helicopter at that moment and unleash favonovel.com fury upon everyone below to vent the anger festering in favonovel.com heart. Yet, favonovel.com harbored the knowledge that such a reckless act would plunge her, and everyone involved, into an abyss of eternal destruction.
Her eyes surveyed the scene below, taking in the sight of four NYPD-painted police helicopters positioned at each corner of the apron. Adjacent to these helicopters stood no less than twenty heavily armed SWAT officers.
To compound the peril, Apache helicopters from the New York State National Guard were stationed on either side of the field. These Apaches were armed with Sea Snake 70mm rockets and Hellfire missiles, rivaling the potency of Soviet-made weaponry, and were far superior to conventional anti-cannon defenses.
Adding to this formidable display of firepower were over a dozen fully equipped soldiers positioned alongside the armed helicopters. It was abundantly clear that attempting to defy cooperation and evade confrontation in this environment would be an act of sheer folly.
With such a formidable array of firepower at their disposal, resistance would be akin to self-inflicted torment, even if they somehow managed to survive the ordeal.
What’s more, the New York State National Guard possessed a more extensive arsenal than just these two helicopters. In the event of an emergency, even F35s could swiftly swoop in. Notably, even the Vermont National Guard had completed the transition to F35s, let alone the New York National Guard, which wielded substantial influence within the National Guard ranks.
In addition to F22 and B2 stealth bombers, the National Guard possessed an arsenal that could wreak havoc upon the Warriors Den base. While the command authority rested with the U.S. military, the equipment ownership clearly belonged to the National Guard.
In essence, if the Warriors Den provoked the United States, it wouldn’t necessitate U.S. military intervention; any state’s National Guard, essentially the militia of that state, could decimate the Warriors Den base.
Just as Morgana grappled with the notion that discretion was the better part of valor, a voice crackled through the radio, “N77DT, please proceed to land on the 14th apron immediately. Police officers on-site will guide your landing. Please be aware that there is no blind spot monitoring system. Throughout the landing process, you must ensure all aircraft windows remain closed, with no exceptions…”
“Once you have landed, nobody is to disembark from the helicopter. You must remain in place for inspection. Upon completion of the inspection without any irregularities, you will be allowed to proceed. This is vital for the homeland security of the United States of America. Your cooperation is crucial. Any dangerous conduct may prompt the NYPD and the New York State National Guard to consider preemptive action. Thank you for your compliance.”
Morgana clenched favonovel.com fists, favonovel.com resolve wavering, yet favonovel.com pragmatic instincts prevailed.
The pilot had no alternative but to adhere to the directives and initiate a gradual descent onto the 14th apron. Even before the helicopter touched down, several heavily armed soldiers were positioned nearby. As soon as the helicopter settled, they promptly sealed all doors and windows with sturdy tape, preventing anyone inside from exploiting the ensuing chaos to discard items or draw weapons.
Witnessing this, Morgana couldn’t contain favonovel.com frustration and demanded, “Why aren’t you conducting the inspection? What’s the purpose of sealing our doors and windows like this?”
One of the soldiers retorted, “There are still more than ten helicopters ahead in line for inspection. Once you’re in the queue, we’ll allow you to disembark for inspection.”
Morgana’s anger flared, and favonovel.com demanded in frustration, “This is highly unreasonable. My time is extremely valuable. Why must I wait here for a painstaking inspection one by one?”
The soldier deliberately displayed the assault rifle on his chest and responded icily, “This is inextricably tied to the homeland security of the United States of America, and compliance is mandatory for all. Should you have any objections, we can provide a suitable location and grant you a 24-hour period to compose yourself.”
