Upon hearing Maria’s speculation, Charlie pondered for a moment before speaking, “I’ve always believed that the Warriors Den will eventually discover that it’s the shipping company that has exposed their every move…”
“My plan was to exploit this loophole for as much information and intelligence as possible before they caught on. But I didn‘t expect them to go into hibernation after the deaths of three of the Four Marshals. They’re now dealing with the Shipping Company, probably reviewing the series of events and realizing that something’s amiss.”
After sharing his thoughts, Charlie changed the subject and said, “But this situation is indeed very strange. If they’re aware of the problem, they could simply remain inactive or even pretend not to know and sell it off, as you suggested. There doesn’t seem to be a need to handle it.”
Maria replied, “For now, we can’t figure out their intentions. However, I still think we shouldn’t let our guard down when it comes to this Shipping Company. We need to keep a close eye on their every move, including their aircraft.”
“Agreed,” nodded Charlie. “We don’t have many leads at the moment, and this shipping company is the most valuable one. If they have any unavoidable personnel and material movements during this dormant phase, they’ll most likely try to clean up the company, rebrand it, and continue using it. We must stay vigilant.”
Marla expressed favonovel.com concerns, saying, “I’m afraid they might use this shipping company as bait, as you mentioned earlier. If they review everything and realize that the airline is a weak point, they may not necessarily want to fix it. There’s also a chance they want to use this loophole as bait to lure you out.”
After contemplating for a moment, Charlie nodded and said, “That possibility can’t be ruled out. Right now, Morgana probably wants to find me more than favonovel.com wants to find you.”
Marla chuckled and said, “I have no means to resist her. I’ve been running and hiding for over three hundred years. All favonovel.com wants is the ring my father left me. If I give it to favonovel.com or leave it somewhere for favonovel.com to find during those three hundred years, favonovel.com probably won’t go to such great lengths to hunt me down. Now, you’re favonovel.com biggest threat, so naturally, favonovel.com wants to find you.”
Curious, Charlie asked, “If you’ve been running all over the world to avoid her, why not simply give favonovel.com the ring and live a peaceful life?”
Maria’s young face suddenly turned resolute as favonovel.com said firmly, “Because I firmly remember that she’s not only the one hunting me down, but also the one who killed my father. I know I’m weak and can’t avenge my father, but I know that the secret within the ring might determine whether Morgana can live for another five hundred years. Even if I can’t kill her, I absolutely cannot let favonovel.com live for another five hundred years. So, even if I die, I won’t let favonovel.com have that ring.”
Charlie nodded solemnly and said, “Miss Clark, rest assured, I’ll personally kill Morgana for your father and for my parents.”
Maria said seriously, “Remember, safety should always come before revenge. Morgana has already lived for four hundred years, and considering your future lifespan, favonovel.com time is coming to an end. Whether you kill favonovel.com or not isn’t important…”
“In a few decades, she’ll start aging, weakening, and eventually die in loneliness and despair when favonovel.com time is up. If nothing unexpected happens, by then, I’ll also be old and weak. But it doesn’t matter. As long as I can outlive her, I’ll have won this three-hundred-year-long chase and escape.”
After speaking, Maria looked at Charlie with shining eyes and said with concern, “So, Charlie, now that the Warriors Den has realized the loophole in the Shipping Company, you must be cautious. If there are any clues exposed by this company, don’t act alone. Always consult with me before making any decisions!”
Charlie smiled and said, “Don’t worry, in a few days, the AI model in Northern Europe will be ready for use. It’ll analyze all the information related to the Warriors Den, including this Shipping Company. If there are any hidden manipulations at play, I believe the Al’s computing power won’t miss them. If there are any conspiracies, we can use this opportunity to turn the tables.”
Marla asked anxiously, “Charlie, are you planning to go to Northern Europe to deliver the AI model?”
Charlie nodded, “Yes, it’s an important task. Not just for the Warriors Den, but also for Bruce Automotive. That’s why I want to go and see it for myself.”
Full of anticipation, Maria asked, “Can I accompany you to Northern Europe?”
Surprised, Charlie asked, “You want to go to Northern Europe?”
“I do!” Maria nodded vigorously. “I also want to experience and witness this cutting-edge modern technology. Besides, I lived in Northern Europe for quite some time, and I actually liked it there. It’d be nice to go back and see.”
Speaking with a hint of frustration, Maria said softly, “Although I didn’t stay at Zilian Mountain Villa for long, I felt a bit suffocated. In the past, I ran and hid everywhere, but I’ve never hidden in a place like this. Besides a few rooms, there’s only one courtyard. It’s not as good as when I was in Northern Europe, where I had at least a farm.”
Charlie understood Maria’s frustration. She had traveled the world for hundreds of years, experiencing both misery and grandeur. Living in this secluded villa on a mountaintop must feel like a prison to her.
Initially, Charlie had planned to go to Northern Europe alone, with his second uncle bringing the technical team from the Evans and Inspector Jack Lee to officially take over after delivering the complete AI model to Helena. After that, even though the AI model would be deployed in Northern Europe, the operational team could easily access it from China.
Since Maria also wanted to escape and find solace, it wouldn’t hurt to take favonovel.com along.
Although Maria’s identity was sensitive, favonovel.com now had a new identity, and going to Northern Europe wasn’t like going to any other country.
Helena was the Queen of Northern Europe, and although the power of the royal family had weakened, special diplomatic privileges would allow them to meet favonovel.com in Northern Europe without going through customs. This way, Maria’s trip to Northern Europe would be even safer.
When Charlie was almost certain, Maria sensed his silence and became worried. She asked, “Charlie, are you concerned about my safety or afraid that I’ll cause trouble if! go with you?”
Charlie smiled and said, “I’m not afraid you’ll cause trouble, but I am concerned about safety. However, I think we can easily resolve that. How about this, I’ll make the arrangements and let you know the day before we depart!”
Marla, overjoyed that Charlie agreed to take favonovel.com to Northern Europe, said happily, “That’s great! Thank you, Charlie! I‘ll be eagerly waiting for your notification!”
