“Are you taking your helicopter?”


    Charlie Wade looked at Steve, puzzled. “Where can your helicopter take me?” he asked.


    Steve quickly replied, “It has a range of about three hundred miles. As long as it can fly, you’re free to go anywhere!”


    He then added, “I’ve already asked someone to notify the pilot to get ready for takeoff, so you can leave whenever you want!”


    Charlie Wade inquired, “What’s your n when you ask the pilot to prepare for takeoff?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Steve answered quickly, “I intend to send my son, Royce, back to assess the situation at home. He needs to check the current progress and gather news…”


    Charlie Wade remarked casually, “So you’re letting your son return instead of taking him outside the blockade. How can you be sure? Can your helicopter really navigate in and out of the blockade?”


    Steve instinctively replied, “I am the first heir of the Rothschild family. My helicopter will definitely be allowed to pass. No one will stop me.”


    Charlie Wade smiled slightly, “If you want to know whether someone will stop you, just give it a try.”


    Then, Charlie Wade turned to Hank and instructed, “Apany Master Royce on the helicopter and fly directly outside the blockade. See if anyone tries to stop you. If there’s no obstruction, just return directly. If you encounter resistance, use the excuse that Master Royce wants to test the strength of air traffic control.”


    Royce felt a wave of relief wash over him at the thought of departing by helicopter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.


    He believed that as long as he could take off, if the helicopter was intercepted, he could simply ask for help from whoever was in charge, ensuring his escape.


    However, Charlie Wade’s next words crushed his hopes instantly.


    Charlie Wade looked calmly at Hank and said, “Remember, if Master Royce tries to ask anyone for help or attempts to leave your side at any point, you must act. Shoot him without hesitation, aiming for his head, and try to take him out with one shot.”


    Hank responded immediately, “Master, don’t worry. If he pulls any tricks, I’ll deal with him swiftly.”


    Royce turned pale with fear.


    He was acutely aware of Hank’s high status within the Rothschild family. After all, Hank was the most trusted bodyguard of the elder Rothschild and his confidant.


    This meant that Hank was permitted to carry a weapon when near members of the family.


    If he sought help from anyone, there was a real danger that Hank would shoot him before he could say a word.


    Charlie Wade instructed Hank to apany him and oversee the entire operation. Given Hank’s position, no one would dare to shoot at him directly, meaning that even if Royce sought assistance, the person he asked wouldn’t have the opportunity to act first. Consequently, if Hank intended to kill him, it would be an easy task.


    In essence, Royce had no chance of escape. Regardless of whether the helicopter was intercepted, he would have to return obediently.


    Just as Royce wallowed in despair, Charlie Wade turned to Steve and stated coldly, “Listen closely: if your son tries any tricks, not only will he be killed, but you won’t survive either. Do you understand?”


    Steve didn’t hesitate and quickly nodded, “I understand… I understand…” At that moment, Hank’s walkie-talkie crackled with a report from his subordinates: “Boss, I’ve contacted the power supplypany. The circuit has sustained severe damage. The line across the river has been cut, and it’s impossible to organize enough manpower for repairs tonight. Emergency work is in progress, but it will take until dawn at the earliest. Should we dispatch a power supply truck?” Hank looked at Charlie Wade, waiting for his instructions.


    Charlie Wade replied, “Tell them not to mobilize any power supply trucks tonight. Since the other party has severed the circuit, it indicates they are preparing to take action. Mobilizing the trucks now won’t help us. All of you must prepare for a fight. We need to keep a close watch on the Zhou family and remain vignt.”


    Hank quickly ryed Charlie Wade’s orders to his men. The response was immediate: “Understood, boss!” Charlie Wade was aware that there were hundreds of eyes fixed on Zhou Manor, and he knew they had to remain alert.<fn0655> For original chapters go to FindN()vel</fn0655>
