The Charismatic Charlie Wade – Chapter 5375

To prevent Zachary from being exposed, Charlie 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 Charlie. 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 Charlie to their location after they arrived in Aurous Hills.

However, considering the warning from Maria Clark about the impending danger, Charlie 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. Charlie decided to customize it to serve their particular needs.

Without delay, Charlie 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 Charlie 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.
