In the afternoon, Charlie said goodbye to Helena and Peter, and embarked on his solitary journey back to the United States.
The route from Ottawa to Burlington was not long, but it did involve some complexities at the border. However, the border control between the US and Canada was relatively relaxed, especially since the watchful eyes of the Rothschild family were absent. For Charlie, it was a task easily accomplished.
Having successfully entered the United States, Charlie took a car to Burlington, where his plane was waiting, already prepared for takeoff.
Meanwhile, at a small airport tens of kilometers away from Burlington International Airport, the Department of Homeland Security was conducting an exhaustive search of the Gulfstream G650. Yet, they had yet to uncover any valuable findings.
The Department of Homeland Security was beginning to suspect if this entire affair was a complete fabrication or if the intelligence officer had made a grave error. Nevertheless, once the arrow was released, there was no turning back, so they had to thoroughly search the plane before closing the case.
However, this had no impact on the regular operations of Burlington International Airport.
Charlie arrived at Burlington International Airport and smoothly passed through customs, boarding the private plane bound for his home country.
At the same time, Morgana, accompanied by Aemon, arrived at the temporarily closed aviation company owned by the Evans Family.
Following the fire incident, the police had determined that there were no casualties, treating it as a mere accident. Consequently, the police had long since departed from the scene.
Due to the major incident at the aviation company and with Eddie missing, no one had approved funds for reconstruction. As a result, the place had fallen into a state of stagnation. Only one security guard remained to watch over the entrance, while the others had been given time off.
When Morgana and Aemon arrived at the entrance of the aviation company, the security guard spoke up, “I’m sorry, but this place is no longer operational.”
Morgana glanced at favonovel.com and coldly replied, “Open the door.”
The guard was taken aback and quickly complied, respectfully saying, “Please, go ahead.”
Without even sparing favonovel.com another glance, Morgana walked straight in, with Aemon closely trailing behind.
Morgana believed that if they were to find any clues related to Eddie, this place held the key.
Inside the aviation company, the helicopter hangar stood as a shocking sight, reduced to ruins. The helicopters that were supposed to be parked in the hangar now lay covered and stationed outside on the vacant land.
Morgana surveyed the area and asked the security guard who followed behind, “Is there no one managing this place anymore?”
The security guard quickly replied, “Our aviation company primarily served the Evans Family. It was quite busy when the Evans Family was in the United States. However, after they left, the workload here significantly diminished. Mr. George cannot be reached, and there is no one to approve the funds for reconstruction, so we had to halt operations.”
Morgana nodded and said, “Alright, you have no business here. You may leave.”
The guard followed the order and without a word, turned around and walked towards the exit.
Morgana took a glance at the helicopter hangar, now reduced to ashes, and walked inside.
Standing in the center of the hangar, Morgana closed favonovel.com eyes, and a surge of reiki emanated from favonovel.com body, enveloping the entire hangar.
She meticulously sensed every detail in the hangar but found no valuable information. Her brows furrowed even deeper.
Observing favonovel.com frown, Aemon knew that there might not have been any progress. After favonovel.com opened favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com cautiously asked, “Master, did you find anything?”
“No,” Morgana shook favonovel.com head and murmured, “Strange, could it be that there were truly no casualties in that fire? Otherwise, I wouldn’t be completely unable to sense anything.”
Aemon asked anxiously, “Master, does that mean there’s a possibility that Eddie and Landon are still alive?”
Morgana nodded, “There is a possibility that they are not dead. Even if their bodies were not in that fire, they must be somewhere else. But what I cannot comprehend is why the other party would take them in?”
Aemon said, “The other party took them in because they must believe it would deal a significant blow to the Warriors Den. They could also obtain valuable information related to the Warriors Den from them.”
Morgana waved favonovel.com hand, “If they wanted to deal a blow, they could have simply killed them. That would have been a more substantial blow to me. Moreover, the other party has saved the Evans Family several times, indicating a deep connection. If they have such a connection with the Evans Family, why would they spare Eddie, who has been undercover in the Evans Family for over a decade?”
Aemon asked in shock, “Master, does that mean you lean towards the possibility that they are already dead?”
“Yes,” Morgana nodded and said firmly, “Even if their bodies were not in that fire, they must be somewhere else. But what I cannot comprehend is, since everything occurred in New York City, a bustling metropolis, the other party could not have possessed a powerful weapon like an anti-aircraft gun. So, how did they manage to kill Landon without giving favonovel.com a chance to defend himself?”
For many years, Morgana had been emphasizing the importance of opening the Soul Palace to the four marshals. The four of them firmly believed that opening the Soul Palace could safeguard the immortality of their souls. Whenever they found themselves in danger with no way to escape, their first instinct was to open the Soul Palace.
Once the Soul Palace was opened, the protective formations within would be unleashed. If this happened in a bustling city like New York, buildings within several hundred meters would undoubtedly be affected.
Just as Morgana grappled with the seeming illogic of the situation, favonovel.com scanned favonovel.com surroundings and suddenly noticed something. She briskly made favonovel.com way toward the center of the hangar.
Amidst the debris at the center of the hangar stood a charred helicopter, reduced to a skeletal frame.
The helicopter featured four rotors arranged in a criss-cross pattern, with some less apparent damage to one of the rotor blades.
Morgana approached cautiously, closely examining the minor damage on the rotor. In an instant, favonovel.com heart raced, and favonovel.com exclaimed, “I believe I’ve figured out how Landon met his demise.”
Aemon, intrigued, asked, “Master, how did Landon meet his end?”
With a grim expression, Morgana explained, “If my deduction is accurate, favonovel.com likely had his head severed by this rotor.”
Aemon was visibly shocked, asking, “Such a bizarre occurrence?”
Morgana stated coldly, “The damage on the rotor aligns perfectly with the width of a human cervical vertebra. Normally, such a component wouldn’t sustain inconspicuous damage like this. Furthermore, on the night of the incident, Eddie piloted the helicopter to the top floor of the Manhattan Hospital, coinciding with Landon’s presence, observing an antique dealer. Several crucial elements converged at Manhattan Hospital that night, making it highly plausible for the perpetrator to use them to decapitate Landon.”
Perplexed, Aemon inquired, “It’s inconceivable for Landon to commit such a blunder. You mentioned favonovel.com didn’t even have a chance to react before his demise. So, someone took advantage of his unguarded moment and inserted his head directly into this rotor?”
“That appears to be the case,” Morgana sighed and added gravely, “The individual who killed favonovel.com is likely the same person responsible for the deaths of Jarvis and Gideon.”
