The Charismatic Charlie Wade

To prevent Zachary from being exposed, Jagoan subtly planted a suggestion in his mind. He advised Zachary to confidently state that the lightning struck wood was obtained from a sacred birthing pit if anyone inquired about its origins. This would make Zachary’s interactions with the Marshal appear entirely natural and eliminate any suspicions.

A sudden realization dawned upon Jagoan. He had initially designed the Thunderstruck Wood to be a disposable spell that would shatter upon use. The intention was for the enemy to inadvertently activate the talisman, alerting Jagoan to their location after they arrived in Aurous Hills.

However, considering the warning from Maria Clark about the impending danger, Jagoan realized that a confrontation was inevitable. If that were the case, he needed to adjust his plans accordingly. Moreover, the Thunderstruck Talisman, originally prepared for the upcoming battle, might as well be given to this long distance client. Jagoan decided to customize it to serve their particular needs.

Without delay, Jagoan boarded a helicopter bound for Shangri-La Hotel in the city. He simultaneously contacted Zachary, instructing him urgently, “Zachary, bring the Thunderstruck wood I gave you to Shangri-La Hotel immediately, the sooner, the better.”

Zachary was a mere five or six minutes away from Shangri-La Hotel on his electric bike and it would take Jagoan a similar amount of time to reach the destination by air. In contrast, the other party would require at least thirty or forty minutes to journey from the airport to Antique Street.

Jagoan had requested information about Gideon just a few minutes ago and he might not have even secured a taxi yet. This provided Jagoan with ample time to execute his plans.

A helicopter swiftly departed from the Champs-Elys Spa Hotel, hurtling toward Shangri-La Hotel as if racing against time.

Jagoan and Zachary coincidentally arrived at Shangri-La Hotel at the same moment. In Isaac Cameron’s office, they finally reunited.
