The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Just as she was on the verge of deciphering who would arrive at Willow Estates by helicopter, a dark figure leaped directly from
the roaring aircraft.
What astonished Zeba was that the helicopter was still in a rapid dive, descending at great speed, with a considerable distance
of tens of meters remaining from the ground. Yet, to her disbelief, the individual who jumped managed to stabilize their body and
land firmly on the ground without any hint of faltering!
In the blink of an eye, the helicopter exerted all its power to ascend, while the black figure wasted no time, darting into the villa
without even a moment’s pause!
Observing the fluidity of their jumping action and the unruffled composure upon landing, Zeba swiftly concluded that this person
must be a Master well-versed in the ways of aura! Her heart skipped a beat and her initial thought was that Aurous Hill still
harbored a formidable adversary, prompting an urgent need to warn Gideon.
Yet, a conflicting realization soon gripped her. She had been tasked by Lord British to secretly monitor Gideon. If she were to
sound the alarm now, it would amount to betraying her allegiance to the Lord.
At that moment, she instinctively reached for her mobile phone, intending to report immediately to the British Lord.
However, as she retrieved her phone, she was met with the stark reality of being stranded on an empty mountainside with no
signal at all!
Unbeknownst to her, the helicopter, which had ascended to an altitude of one or two kilometers and hovered directly above
Willow Estates, had activated its high-power jamming device, cunningly prepared in advance.
As it continued to wreak havoc from its elevated position, the interference extended far beyond Willow Estates. Within a three to
five-kilometer radius, the mobile phone signals were subjected to intense disruption, rendering any network connection
impossible.
Simultaneously, under Don Albert’s meticulous arrangement, his trusted comrade had already severed the communication
cables at the foot of the mountain, effectively cutting off the wired telephones and networks throughout Willow Estates.
This precautionary measure was part of Violet’s special arrangement. Unaware of any one-way connection between the Warriors
Den’s marshal and their Lord, transmitting audio and video posed a potential threat.

However, Violet never anticipated that this very arrangement would thrust Zeba, hiding in the shadows, into an unwanted
predicament. She couldn’t take the initiative to report to Gideon, nor could she communicate with the British Lord or seek
guidance regarding the Lord’s decision. Thus, she suppressed her mounting nervousness and resolved to continue observing
discreetly.
In the midst of her dilemma, thousands of miles away, the distant Lord himself scrutinized the transmitted positioning information
with unwavering focus.
Displayed on screen was a high-definition satellite map of Willow Estates. Updated just last month, the satellite imagery,
acquired during daylight, boasted astonishing clarity. Every tile on the top floor of the villa could be discerned with remarkable
precision.
With the aid of this high-definition satellite map, combined with the precise satellite positioning of Gideon and Zeba, two striking
coordinate points, a red one and a yellow one were distinctly marked on the map before the Lord’s eyes.
Among them, the yellow coordinate point remained stationary on the western mountain side of Willow Estates, while the red
coordinate point steadily approached from the outskirts of the villa, under the watchful gaze of the Lord, until it reached the very
residence of the Evans family.
These two coordinate points represented the real-time positions of Gideon and Zeba.
Flashing twice per second, each pulse indicated the update of their latest coordinates.
In other words, the monitoring terminal of the Lord received twice-per-second updates of their precise locations.
Moreover, their positioning system employed the most advanced high-precision mapping technology available, boasting
centimeter-level accuracy with a margin of error not exceeding ten centimeters.
When the British Lord witnessed the red marker of Gideon pass through the villa’s gates, he knew that Gideon had entered.
At that moment, the British Lord held firm belief that within a few minutes, the Evans family would succumb to Gideon as
innocent victims.
However, as the Lord eagerly awaited Gideon’s triumphant report, the two blinking coordinate points abruptly vanished!
This sudden turn of events startled the British Lord, a profound unease settling in his heart.

The extinguishing of the coordinate points signified a disruption in the transmission of information between him and the other
party.
Nevertheless, both of their mobile phones had been specially modified, boasting stability comparable to military-grade
equipment.
As long as their phones maintained power, they could simultaneously transmit signals through both the communication network
and the satellite network, guaranteeing real-time transmission even if there was no satellite signal indoors or no communication
network in the wilderness.
It can be said that as long as one does not venture into a mountain tunnel or an underground bunker devoid of any mobile phone
signal, the transmission between the phone and the base remains uninterrupted.
However, the current situation unfolded differently. The moment Gideon entered the villa’s gates, the signal abruptly vanished.
Naturally, it could be a simple case of losing the satellite signal upon entering a room, coupled with a temporary loss of mobile
phone signal.
Yet, Zeba had remained outdoors the entire time, without budging an inch!
Her signal also ceased simultaneously, which seemed rather suspicious.
Unease settled within Zeba’s mind, suspecting that the helicopter soaring above might have tampered with the signal.
Unfortunately, she felt utterly powerless against an aircraft soaring at a height of one thousand meters.
She contemplated the idea of swiftly departing from the area, escaping the interference range of the helicopter, and reporting to
the British Lord. However, the notion that Gideon might have fallen into a trap made her hesitant. If she were to flee now, the
British Lord might perceive it as an act of desertion, an explanation she found difficult to provide.
Hence, she had lingered until this moment.
As she watched Gideon relentlessly pursuing the black-clad man, steadily drawing nearer to her, she couldn’t help but ponder, “I
cannot contact the Lord at the present moment and I am unaware of the black-clad man’s strength. Rushing to aid Gideon
seems ill-advised. It appears that my only option is to clandestinely shadow them in the darkness and wait to see how events
unfold!”
