"I bet she won't be out of New York by the time the news is released," added Charlie. "Should we delay the announcement?" Vera asked. "Let Fleur go through all the trouble to rush over, and then really let her experience what it's like to put in a lot of effort only to end up with nothing." "I thought about it, but I don't know if we can get the timing right," Charlie lamented. "What if the plane arrives earlier than Fleur does? How can we be sure that there's nothing wrong?" Vera smiled and reassured, "The plane will land in more than an hour, but since Homeland Security has made such a big fuss, they must conduct a thorough inspection of the plane to completely rule out any abnormalities. I checked, and Zekeiah rented a Gulfstream G650. It's not very big, but it's more than 30 meters long. The inspection will take hours. There's enough time for Fleur to fly from New York." Speaking of which, Vera added, "It'll be even better if we can find a way to bring Fleur into conflict w
From the time the Four-Sided Treasure Tower was delivered out of the United States, Julien estimated that it should have arrived in Oskia by now, but he hadn't heard of any updates yet. He was looking forward to the bad news from his family after the news from Oskia was announced. However, the lack of news or updates made him anxious. Right at this moment, Charlie knocked on the door and came in. Julien rushed to him and asked anxiously, "Mr. Wade, how is it going? Has the Four-Sided Treasure Tower gotten to Oskia? Why hasn't the news come out yet?" "Relax," Charlie chuckled. "Yes, it has arrived, but the government needs to check and verify its authenticity first. It's a major event that needs to be announced to the public, so they don't want any mistakes. Also, they need time to process the photos, videos, and whatnot, and the TV station has to edit, organize, do post-production, and check for errors before broadcasting the news. All of this takes time." "You're right. They
Julien was bewildered to hear Charlie's serious remarks and believed every word he said. He had heard some time ago that the AI company his nephew had invested in had made a huge breakthrough and become a rising star in the internet industry. However, he hadn't taken it seriously as the Rothschild family had primarily focused on finance and energy sectors. They had always been wary of the internet bubble and the challenges of making profits in that area. AI's unparalleled adaptability amazed him. It showed its brilliant ability in the process of finding the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. From this point of view, if the treasure tower was still in New York, coupled with AI in the search, the possibility of finding it would increase significantly. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He even felt glad that he had decided to be on Charlie's side and somewhat betray his father. Only by being vigilant could he ensure that he could retain his benefits.
Fleur knew that she couldn't get to the airport before the plane landed, so this was the safety measure she was able to come up with. If the Four-Sided Treasure Tower was really on the plane and she couldn't find it after getting there, every person leaving the airport was worth checking thoroughly. She was getting more and more anxious, but the line in front of her seemed to take forever to move. After waiting in line for an hour, it was finally her turn to be inspected. At the request of the soldiers, Fleur, Tarlon, and the pilot got out of the helicopter to be searched. In addition, personnel with professional inspection equipment began to carefully inspect the helicopter inside and out. They even checked the helicopter's fuel tank and its internal structure with special devices to see if the treasure tower was hidden inside. After the inspection was completed and there was no abnormality, the helicopter carrying Fleur was allowed to take off. The helicopter climbed to the
Fleur released a huge amount of Reiki that engulfed the entire airport. "That's weird." She frowned in confusion. "Why is there no Reiki associated with it other than my own Reiki?" The Four-Sided Treasure Tower was a ritual implement, and it was jointly crafted by many highly skilled cultivators with great supernatural abilities during the Tang Dynasty. It undoubtedly contained numerous formations and magical arrays, and with Reiki sensing, it would surely be detected immediately. However, Fleur felt like she was exploring a void as her Reiki traveled all over the place. She couldn't sense anything in return. Her heart skipped a beat. Then, she started to scrutinize her search around the airport, trying to locate Zekeiah and Mr. Zorro. Despite her efforts, she couldn't find any trace of them. At this point, she felt a lump down her throat. She growled with a gloomy expression, "Ugh! After all the troubles I've been through to get here! It's a trap!" "What?!" Tarlon gaspe
Tarlon asked, "Lord, what should we do next?" "Go back to New York!" Fleur snapped. "The Rothschilds have locked down New York so tightly that even I can't slip under their noses. If the mysterious man really left New York with the item I'm looking for, it'll make things more difficult. Maybe he's still hiding in New York, waiting for a chance to strike! I must find that treasure now that I'm in America!" As soon as Fleur was done speaking, Tarlon's phone beeped continuously, and multiple notifications popped up on the screen. He took out his phone and saw that the notifications were mostly from Oskia news and social media apps. The headlines were almost all the same. He muttered the headlines while reading through it, "The Four-Sided Treasure Tower, the national treasure of the Tang Dynasty, has returned to Oskia... Is this thing so important? So many media outlets released the news at the same time..." "What did you say?!" Fleur blurted out in shock when she heard Tarlon'
When Fleur learned that the Four-Sided Treasure Tower had returned to Oskia, she knew her chance to grab it was gone. For the past three thousand years, she had always adhered to the principle that she must not provoke any country. Except for a few small countries, most sovereign countries in the world had their own absolute advantage compared to the Qing Eliminating Society. Even the smallest sovereign country had its own territory and airspace. As long as it had a budget, it could purchase fighter jets from a big country. If it had territorial waters, it could even buy its own warships. These two points were beyond the reach of the Qing Eliminating Society. Although the organization currently had strong financial power and individual strength, it had no advantage at all when it came to heavy-duty weapons and equipment, let alone weapons of mass destruction. Besides, the Four-Sided Treasure Tower was a national treasure of great importance. Oskia would certainly not allow
Just as Fleur was taking the helicopter back to New York, Harrison was lying weakly on the bed. His eye bags were large and black, indicating that he had spent yet another sleepless night. Harrison had been constantly tormented mentally and emotionally over the past few days, and the ongoing devastations had reached a climax early this morning. He never expected that Hank's pursuit of Biden would ultimately lead Zekeiah to commit suicide by arson. Harrison was even more overwhelmed upon discovering that Zekeiah was a member of the Qing Eliminating Society. Although he had followed Keith's advice and destroyed the evidence at the hangar, he was uneasy because he had offended an organization that was infamously known for its mysterious and vicious existence. There were many mysterious organizations in the United States with a long history, shrouded in mystery and cruelty, but none of them could be compared to the Qing Eliminating Society. He was not sure if anyone in the organ
