Charlie did not open the wooden box to save time. He used his Reiki to scan the box and immediately sensed two items inside. One was a thick book, which he assumed was the copy of the Preface of the Apocalyptic Book. The other was an item made of metal in the shape of a pagoda. After confirming that the items were intact, he wanted to retract his Reiki and quickly leave the Cole family mansion with the box. However, when his Reiki swept through the tower, the tower seemed to have sensed his presence. Immediately after, he felt his Reiki being forcibly drawn toward the tower without any warning. What shocked him even more was that because this strand of Reiki was controlled by his divine sense, effectively making it an invisible extension of his consciousness, when the Reiki was absorbed by the tower, it also forcibly took a wisp of his divine sense from his Reiki field. At that moment, he felt as if he was standing in a world of fuzziness. Whenever he looked, it was dark
The reason it seemed somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar was likely because the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda had undergone several renovations after its initial construction. Its appearance, features, and even the number of tiers had changed significantly. Moreover, these renovations happened hundreds or even thousands of years ago. People had only seen the pagoda as it appears today after five major reconstructions, passed down through history. No one knew what it originally looked like, which was why Charlie had that sense of déjà vu but couldn't be certain. Charlie muttered under his breath, "So, the priest I just saw was Saint Jerome?" In the midst of his thoughts, the image passed through the prosperous Coleham and arrived at a temple on a green mountain in the south outside of the city. From the terrain, Charlie recognized that the place was the northern foot of Mount Solis. The two large words ‘Josher Temple’ on the gate of the temple immediately enlightened him that this was S
The moment his divine sense returned to his body, Charlie immediately sobered up. Although it felt like a long time had passed when his divine sense left his body, it was actually a blink of an eye in reality. Charlie, who was in a daze from the confusion, shook his head to compose himself. He took the wooden box, made sure that the secret compartment was empty, and immediately pushed the lion statue back and covered the secret compartment. At this moment, the commotion was still ongoing in the Cole family mansion. He immediately turned around, jumped up, and flew in through the window of the room where Hank, Julien, and Royce were. Julien and Royce were both dumbfounded at the sight. Jumping out the window didn't seem like a big deal, but they were aghast to see Charlie jumping back in. When Charlie returned to the room and saw the horrified expression on Julien's and Royce's faces, he turned to Hank and commanded, "Make them turn around, and you turn around to watch the
After the Four-Sided Treasure Tower was in Oskia, it could be returned to the Oskian government with the help of Emmett, and the mission would be completed. However, Charlie had no intention of leaving the United States just like that. Raymond was still in the hospital for treatment, and no one knew what the U.S. government and the Rothschild family would do to him after he was discharged. Charlie did not want to leave him alone. If possible, he would do his best to get Raymond out of prison and restore his freedom. Meanwhile... Hank ordered a group of men to rush into the Cole family mansion. They turned the mansion upside down but could not find any traces of breaking in. What puzzled them was that there was a lot of noise inside the house, and a lot of furniture and decorations were indeed broken. It was obvious that someone had been there. Otherwise, how could things fall with a crash inside an empty mansion with locked doors? But here came the strange part. It did look
Hank answered, "I have no comment for now. I need to investigate first." Harrison asked, "Do you think the person who sneaked into the mansion tonight came to take the Four-Sided Treasure Tower?" "It must be," Hank replied firmly. "He took such a big risk. The tower must be his only reason." Harrison felt even more depressed. He muttered, "If that's the case, he must have taken it away..." After that, he shouted at the top of his lungs to the butler, "Notify everyone and all departments to strictly seal all access in and out of New York as well as the surrounding areas! At the same time, start searching within the blockade area and find the Four-Sided Treasure Tower at all costs!" Just then, someone next to Harrison suddenly reported, "Sir, I’ve just received news from Canada that Princess Helena's trip to Canada has been pushed forward." "What?" Harrison frowned. "When?" "Today. They say she will take off in about three hours. The first stop will be Ottawa, and then M
"Yes, you can trust him!" Julien quickly answered. "The pilot is my cousin." "Good." Charlie nodded and commanded, "After we take off, you'll stay and wait for your father's next order." Julien nodded decisively. He wanted Charlie to leave the country with the Four-Sided Treasure Tower as soon as possible. Once the tower was gone, his position as the heir would be secured. The position of the heir was the only thing he cared about. The Four-Sided Treasure Tower held no sentimental value in his eyes—if it was lost, so be it. Whether the loss of the tower would affect his family's fortune for the next century was of no concern to him. To him, his family was so wealthy that he wouldn't mind if the fortune were halved as long as he could inherit the position. - Charlie and Royce left New York by helicopter before dawn. No one checked or stopped their helicopter because of Harrison's special permission. No one even checked them when they entered Canada, and they crossed the
Charlie smiled when he heard Vera's voice and said, "I'm in Canada, about to head to Montreal." "Montreal?" Vera beamed in a delicate voice, "The last time I went to Montreal was during the Second World War..." She then asked curiously before Charlie could reply, "Aren't you in the United States? Why are you in Canada? Have you met Raymond?" "I've met him," Charlie answered. "Too many things have happened, and it's hard to explain over the phone. I called because I need your help." Vera affirmed, "Anything, Mr. Wade. How can I help you?" Charlie said, "I have a national treasure. I want Janus to take it back to Aurous Hill, and then I need Emmett to deliver it to the official." "National treasure?" Vera asked in surprise, "What is it?" "Have you ever heard of the Four-Sided Treasure Tower?" asked Charlie. "Four-Sided Treasure Tower?!" Vera was so shocked that she almost dropped her phone. She exclaimed, "Are you talking about the legendary Four-Sided Treasure Tower, a m
While waiting for Janus, Charlie met several Ten Thousand Armies agents in Canada. These agents were different from the mercenaries of Ten Thousand Armies headquarters. Instead of participating in the group's military operations around the world, they were stationed in certain countries and regions with safe and legal identities and became members of the secret liaison station. In addition to mandatory military training, their daily duties mainly included building safe houses and contact points in the local area and secretly stockpiling weapons and equipment, transportation, cash, gold, and even false identities so that they could carry out other missions in the area. Ten Thousand Armies had three secret liaison stations in Canada located in Vancouver in the west, Toronto in the east, and Edmonton in the central region. This time, the agent dispatched by Porter was from the secret liaison station stationed in Toronto. These agents appeared to be employees of a travel company
