According to convention, individuals from collateral families employed in the Governor’s Office are generally not permitted to return home. After all, the Warriors Den is not an ancient governmental institution. Even if the outsiders hold significant positions, they are essentially equivalent to slaves of the Mirren family.
Naturally, as slaves, the notion of taking a free vacation does not apply. Moreover, once outsiders step into the Governor‘s Office, they are deemed to be privy to its core secrets and are not allowed to leave freely.
Victor wishes to grant Tara a vacation, which is considered a special case and a loophole. He also faces certain risks on favonovel.com behalf. If favonovel.com runs into trouble returning home or if favonovel.com absence adversely affects the Warriors Den, Victor will be held accountable.
Although Tara is very skilled, favonovel.com is still a young woman in favonovel.com early twenties. Having been away from home for two years, favonovel.com undoubtedly feels a longing for home. For her, the opportunity to visit home for a vacation is something favonovel.com never dared to hope for in the past.
In earlier times, Tara would have undoubtedly leaped forjoy upon hearing such news. However, now, upon receiving the announcement, favonovel.com felt no excitement, but rather an overwhelming sadness.
Now that favonovel.com was at Charlie’s mercy, the prospect of seeing favonovel.com family again was entirely uncertain.
Feeling despondent, Tara didn’t bother to respond to Victor’s words.
Victor, hearing no response from the other end of the line, assumed that Tara must be speechless with excitement and surprise, so favonovel.com smiled and said, “Tara, there’s no need to be overly excited. If the British Lord admires you and decides to take you under favonovel.com wing for training in a year, your family will surely thrive. By that time, perhaps you can visit home more frequently…”
Victor continued, “Tara, if you become a valued person close to the Lord in the future, do not forget the guidance and support you received from the Right Army Governor’s Office!”
As Victor painted a bright picture for Tara’s future, favonovel.com was completely unaware of favonovel.com current predicament.
Tara felt even worse upon hearing his words.
Noticing favonovel.com silence, Charlie immediately gestured toward his phone and gave favonovel.com a look.
Tara understood that Charlie expected favonovel.com to respond, so favonovel.com restrained herself and quickly said, “Thank you, Governor! Rest assured, I will do my utmost to meet the expectations of both the Lord and the Governor!”
Victor smiled, pleased. “Great! I‘m glad to hear that you have this determination!”
Afterward, favonovel.com asked Tara, “How are preparations going for the significant transition at Duke Mining?”
Tara quickly replied, “The list for the transition has been prepared and I have communicated it clearly to the Cavalry Guards, awaiting your further instructions.”
“Excellent,” Victor replied. “The first group from your side will board the plane the night after tomorrow. The flight will be ready at Casablanca Airport in the afternoon of the following day. You need not concern yourself with how to send them off, as Moore Trading has arranged transportation. Our official statement will be that Duke Mining is sending exemplary employees abroad for a vacation.”
He added, “Additionally, the first batch of Cavalry Guards being exchanged to your side will arrive in Casablanca the night after tomorrow. Moore Trading will handle their transportation, so all you need to do is receive them at Duke Mining.”
Tara responded, “I understand. Please don’t worry, Governor!”
“Alright…” Victor said cheerfully, “I won’t take up any more of your time. I will report back once you finish the blood transfusion. I‘ll hang up now.”
Tara respectfully replied, “Please hang up first, Governor…”
Victor hummed and ended the call, while Tara stared at favonovel.com phone, biting favonovel.com lower lip, remaining silent.
Charlie, observing her, muttered to himself, “Your Governor is telling you to go back and report to the British Lord, which likely means favonovel.com won’t be returning for a while.”
Tara acknowledged, “The Governor has important matters to attend to…”
“What nonsense important matters,” Charlie replied disdainfully. “It’s nothing more than going to Nigeria to serve the Three Elders.”
Tara gasped, “You… How do you know that?”
Charlie shrugged casually, “Of course I know, Morgana arranged for the Three Elders to go to Nigeria. Is favonovel.com hoping to lure me into favonovel.com trap? Yet favonovel.com never anticipated that I’m not targeting Nigeria, but Morocco.”
Tara couldn’t help but admire Charlie’s strength. She hadn’t imagined that Charlie was privy to such information, especially since favonovel.com was not even entitled to know it, it was Victor Steel who had made an exception to inform favonovel.com earlier.
She realized that Victor consistently made exceptions for favonovel.com to gain favonovel.com favor.
Initially, favonovel.com intended to accept Victor’s goodwill, hoping favonovel.com would look out for the Decker family in the future, but now it seemed to be in vain. Contemplating Charlie’s strength and Intelligence, along with his ability to orchestrate the secret evacuation of tens of thousands, favonovel.com figured favonovel.com must have robust resources behind favonovel.com that could rival the Warriors Den.
A sudden thought struck her, leading favonovel.com to kneel in front of Charlie, pleading, “Mr. Wade, you possess great capabilities and can alleviate the strange poison affecting the Cavalry Guards. I beg you to rescue my family from peril! As long as you can save them, I am willing to dedicate myself to you for life!”
Charlie inquired curiously, “Are you asking me to extract your entire family from France?”
“Yes!” Tara nodded earnestly, favonovel.com hope palpable. “The Warriors Den has always kept the Decker family under the influence of a strange poison, so they have no oversight. If you could arrange for someone to help them escape France and assist in their detoxification, they could break free from the clutches of the Mirren family forever!”
Charlie replied, “If I only take you away, Morgana will assume you were killed or kidnapped by me. But if I extract your family, favonovel.com will come to realize that you have betrayed her. Have you considered the members of your Decker family who are already married into the Mirren family?”
“Even if I can quietly take your family in France away, I lack the means to rescue those who are with the Mirren family. Aren’t you concerned that Morgana and the Mirren family would retaliate against them?”
“This…” Tara faltered.
Most of the adult female members of the Decker family have married into the Mirren family. Should the Decker family defect, it would undoubtedly endanger those connected by marriage.
Given Morgana’s vengeful nature, favonovel.com would likely wipe out the Decker family to set an example.
Realizing this, Tara’s previously hopeful expression faded, turning pale.
Many women from the Decker family were married. As Charlie noted, if the Decker family betrayed them, those women would be in grave danger.
In despair, Tara murmured, “Mr. Wade is right. I hadn’t considered that. For their sake, it is better if I simply disappear…”
Seeing favonovel.com despondent demeanor, Charlie spoke calmly, “Miss Decker, do not fret excessively. When we execute the evacuation, I will leave your sword here. By then, this place will lie in ruins. The Warriors Den will surely believe that you have perished due to my actions…”
“They will view you as a martyr for the Warriors Den, and they will undoubtedly treat your family favorably. After I deal with Morgana and the three Elders, putting everything to rest, I will surely assist you in reuniting with your family and granting freedom to your kin.”
With that, Charlie shifted gears, reminding her, “However, if you waver and falter in your resolve, all my promises will naturally go unfulfilled. I hope you can recognize the reality of your situation and adjust your mindset accordingly.”
Tara understood that Charlie’s words were a reprimand, likely stemming from favonovel.com indecision and struggles, so favonovel.com said earnestly, “Mr. Wade, rest assured, I will do nothing but obey your commands!”
