Inside the headquarters of the Warriors Den, Aemon respectfully reported to Morgana, “Your Excellency, the Three Elders have arrived in Nigeria. I’ve arranged for the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army to personally receive them. We‘ve also set up a temporary training site for them. Currently, the Three Elders are settled in our residence in Nigeria…”
Morgana nodded and inquired, “How is the situation with the plane?”
Aemon replied, “As planned, we staged a false emergency incident. The plane’s flight route was from Frankfurt, Germany to Johannesburg, South Africa. All aviation software displays this cargo flight route. The emergency landing in Nigeria wouldn’t appear in the regular flight route information. Only by checking the specific flight trajectory of that plane on that day can one discern that the plane made a stopover in Nigeria…”
“It’s quite discreet, as most people wouldn’t pay attention to where a cargo plane stops. However, if the other party has been closely monitoring our plane’s flight trajectory, they’ll undoubtedly see the trajectory information and focus on Lagos, Nigeria. If they consider this emergency landing as a clue, they’ll fall into our trap.”
Morgana asked further, “What’s next? Do we have any other clues that can make it harder for them to find our residence in Nigeria, but not too difficult?”
Aemon answered, “Your Excellency, the cargo on this flight is a batch of precision instruments and equipment manufactured in Germany, worth over forty million US dollars. We switched the cargo at the Nigerian airport and used a special channel to transport the switched cargo out of the airport. One part of the cargo is specialized equipment for the oil and gas industry for our oil company in Nigeria. Another part is high-precision processing equipment from Germany, which can be used to manufacture standardized firearms…”
“These types of equipment are globally regulated, requiring strict checks on the qualifications of the purchaser. They also demand complete approval documents from the purchaser’s country. This time, we used a precision processing company in South Africa to apply for an import permit and obtained sales approval from Germany, allowing us to smoothly exit Germany. This is one of the clues we deliberately left for the other party…”
“The other party will likely investigate the flight and discover the emergency landing in Nigeria. They’ll probably look into the shipping cargo and the recipient’s information. With a deeper investigation, they’ll find that the cargo includes oil and gas equipment and special equipment. They’ll firmly believe that this equipment is for our own use and suspect that our emergency landing was just a diversion. South Africa isn’t the real destination; the real destination is Lagos, Nigeria. Consequently, they’ll focus their attention on Nigeria!”
“Considering the oil and gas equipment, they can easily deduce that our residence in Nigeria is most likely an oil extraction base. Our residence in Nigeria is a billion-dollar oil extraction base, with the highest profit among all our residences…”
“By revealing the clues ourselves, it’ll be effortless for them to find the residence. They only need to investigate a few dozen locations, and they’ll discover it easily. We chose to use it as bait to lower their guard and make them think they’ve caught a big fish that can deal us a heavy blow!”
Morgana listened to Aemon’s explanation and rarely displayed a satisfied expression.
She nodded slightly and sneered, “Very good! The clues are interconnected, creating intrigue and the impression of capturing a big fish. When they seize the exposed clues, they’ll likely be excited and even exclaim ‘Heaven helps me’. When they unravel the clues and find the oil field, the Three Elders will attack them together and surely behead them! Eliminating future troubles!”
***
While Morgana and Aemon believed that the hidden threat wouldn’t miss this clue, Charlie was driving through the snowy landscapes of northern Europe with Marla.
The vast and sparsely populated scenery of northern Europe was truly breathtaking. Tall pine trees, covered in a blanket of snow, lined the road.
Occasionally, they passed villages or small towns, where clusters of wooden houses stood, adorned with vibrant colors on their sides, contrasting against the white snow, giving them a fairytale-like charm.
Since sunrise, Maria had been gazing out the window, captivated by the scenery. Longingly, favonovel.com said, “In my over three hundred years of existence, I’ve traveled to many places and lived in many places I adored, but my time in Northern Europe was the shortest, and I haven’t had enough of it.”
Charlie smiled and responded, “I’ve already asked Helena to find a suitable farm. Once it’s renovated, you can come and stay here occasionally. And with Helena’s help, there won’t be any trace left when passing through customs, so there’s no need to worry about being found by Morgana.”
Maria nodded slightly. She truly wanted to continue living here for a while, but the thought of how difficult it would be for Charlie to accompany favonovel.com like this dampened favonovel.com enthusiasm.
Just then, Maria’s phone rang. She picked it up and answered, and Marius’s voice came through the phone, “Miss, I’ve found some new clues about the plane.”
Marla acknowledged and said, “Go ahead, I’m with Mr. Wade.”
She switched on the speakerphone, knowing that Charlie could hear every word clearly without it. But to her, it was a sign of respect for Charlie.
On the other end of the phone, Marius respectfully said, “Miss, Young Master, I’ve discovered that the plane landed in South Africa. I’ve also found the shipper of the cargo and the cargo details.”
Marius proceeded to recite the information favonovel.com found in detail, which aligned with what Morgana and Aemon wanted them to find.
After sharing the clues, Marius sounded excited and exclaimed, “Miss, I believe that the Warriors Den has a base in Nigeria, most likely related to oil extraction. I’ve checked the larger oil extraction companies in Nigeria, capable of accommodating over a hundred people and an area that can house thousands…”
“There are only over twenty such companies, and only seven of them are near Lagos. In my opinion, one of these seven companies is likely the Warriors Den’s base. I’ve also confirmed that all seven of these companies have vast industrial scales, with annual profits of at least one billion US dollars. If we can identify the base and eliminate it, the Warriors Den will lose a significant source of income.”
After hearing this, Maria glanced at Charlie and then told Marius, “Marius, you did well, but you should stop following this lead here. There is no need to dig deeper and risk exposing yourself. Mr. Wade will take over from here.”
Marius replied respectfully, “Understood, young lady. I’ll leave it to Mr. Wade.”
After hanging up, Maria and Charlie exchanged a glance, and Maria said gravely, “Young Master, it seems that Nigeria is a sacrificial offering brought by Morgana to lure you out. They‘ve meticulously planned this to make you believe it’s true and personally confront them. They’ve even used a highly classified assassin base as bait. It seems you’ve become a major threat to Morgana.”
Charlie nodded and smiled, “If they want me to go, then I definitely won’t go, at least not for now. If I can figure out the movements of the Three Elders of the Warriors Den and eliminate their other bases in different locations, once I can confirm that the Three Elders have left Nigeria, I can strike back and eliminate them.”
