Even though traveling at nearly 1,000 kilometers per hour is incredibly fast, it still leaves Sara feeling somewhat uneasy.
Since the portrait of Master was unveiled in Aurous Hill, her state of mind has shattered, causing her to lose theposure expected of a woman who has lived for four centuries.
All alone, she gazed at the flight chart in front of her, fixating on the altitude and speed readings. Unable to contain her frustration, she muttered under her breath, “The more modern technology advances, the more greedy these people be. Back in the day, the Concorde could soar over 2,000 kilometers in just an hour, yet today’s aircraft struggle to even reach 1,000 kilometers. The ones that can barely manage that distance don’t have sufficient range!”<fn7391> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn7391>
Noticing her agitation, a crew member quickly approached and respectfully said, “Please remain calm, our lord. Our journey is quite lengthy. Even the Concorde would find it challenging. Its maximum range is only around five to six thousand kilometers. For instance, a flight from Buenos Aires to Melbourne would only cover half the distance, with an ocean in between where we cannotnd or refuel.”
Sara waved her hand in irritation, silently urging him to stop bothering her. She was well aware of the drawbacks of supersonic aircraft. Traveling ultra-long distances in such nes can be just as frustrating as undertaking long road trips in electric vehicles, so she chose not to dwell on it further.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Just then, the satellite phone in front of her rang unexpectedly.
Looking down at the screen disying the name “Chen Zhimin,” she straightened up immediately. She answered the call with a cold tone, “Is there any update on the An family?” On the other end, Chen Zhimin, her little uncle, replied hurriedly, “Reporting to the British Lord, my subordinates have just contacted Tablita.”
Sara clenched her teeth, eximing, “So they’re still alive!”
After this revtion, she pressed further, “Have you uncovered any details?!”
Chen Zhimin replied respectfully, “I called to report some developments to you.”
Sara insisted coldly, “Speak!”
Chen Zhimin quickly continued, “Tablita informed me that the individual who rescued their family in Aurous Hill is the same person who saved them in New York!”
“What?!” Sara eximed, “Is that information reliable?” Chen Zhimin affirmed, “Tablita told me personally, so there should be no errors. Furthermore, Tablita also mentioned that this man appeared right after Willie Bo showed up. If he had arrived just a momentter, Willie Bo would have been dead before he could eliminate the entire An family…”
Sara’s expression darkened. “Discussing this is pointless now; the priority is to identify who that person is!”
She pressed on, “Have you asked Tablita? When he went to rescue the An family that day, did he say anything to Willie Bo?”
“Yes…” Chen Zhimin began, but then he fell into a state of panic.
Unsure how to exin to Sara what Charlie hadmunicated, he worried that she might react harshly. Sensing his hesitation, Sara reassured him, “Don’t fret. Just answer my questions honestly; even if it offends me, I won’t hold it against you.” Chen Zhimin sighed in relief and quickly added,
“Tablita said that this person knows Uncle Willie’s identity, is aware of the Poqing Society, and, most importantly, he also knows about you… and he said… he also mentioned…” At this point, Sara’s interest was piqued, and she eagerly awaited the details. When there was a long pause on the other end of the line, she snapped, “If you have something to say, say it quickly! Otherwise, I’ll make you regret it!” Upon hearing this, Chen Zhimin, feeling anxious, hurriedly conveyed what Charlie wanted tomunicate: “He said… he said he would personally take your head!”
