    The height equivalent to seven or eight stories poses a significant risk for most ordinary individuals.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    However, for Charlie, it was merely a challenge.


    His primary concern was that as he descended, he would reach a height that matched the mountain’s peak, and more critically, whether he would be detected by his adversaries at that altitude.


    To alleviate his worries, he reached into his pocket to grip the thunder warning tucked inside.


    This thunderous device was crafted from the legendary Wannian Lightning Strike Wood, a gift from Jasmine Moore, renowned for being the finest of its kind and Charlie’s most effective weapon.


    Despite having used this powerful thunder tool numerous times—resulting in many visible cracks on its surface—it still had enough capability for a few more uses.


    Charlie was generally reluctant to deploy the Thunderbolt due to the noise it generated, but this time, he decided it was necessary to boost his chances of sess.


    At that moment, the entire mountainous region was eerily quiet, with hardly any people or vehicles in sight. Below, one could hear the wind and the gentle patter of rain, but nothing else.

    Isaac Cameron, a skydiving expert and meteorology aficionado, was equally astonished. He muttered, “This defies logic. I checked today’s satellite weather map, and there’s no indication of thundercloud formation!”


    The crew was equally puzzled.


    The aircraft’s crew consisted of highly experienced pilots, many of whom had a solid grasp of meteorology and climate formation. They could usually assess the situation at a nce.


    Yet, none of them expected a thunderstorm to erupt under such winter conditions, where even moderate rain seemed impossible.


    Only Isaac Cameron found a sense of reassurance in the thunderous noise, recognizing it as Charlie’s doing!


    Meanwhile, the native soldiers of the opposition, local vigers, and the eight hostages, including Ziva Hank, were all taken aback by the sudden thunderp!


    For these individuals, the intensity of the thunder they had just experienced was unprecedented and shocking.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
