Judging solely from Morgana’s return behavior, Charlie and Maria struggled to discern her intentions.

Maria, in particular, fretted over the possibility that Morgana hadn’t truly departed Shiwan when she left here, but rather sought a new destination.

So, she turned to Charlie and said, “Sir, my father once mentioned that the stone chamber where my master journeyed westward vanished without a trace. He suspected that our master must have wielded formidable magical powers to relocate or conceal that chamber. Morgana’s arrival in Shiwan Mountain this time, most likely, pertains to unraveling the secrets of that stone chamber.”

Charlie nodded thoughtfully and replied, “I share your sentiments. It seems unlikely that Morgana would hastily depart Shiwan Mountain. Perhaps she has stumbled upon fresh leads.”

Maria, wearing a concerned expression, added, “If Morgana indeed discovers a means to augment her power through her master’s remnants or acquires elixirs and magical artifacts of value to her, her strength could become even more formidable.”

Charlie contemplated the matter and said, “Back then, if Morvel Bazin managed to pass that ring to your father before his demise, it implies that he had insights into Morgana’s character. He must have taken precautions accordingly.”

He then continued, “Although Morgana failed to retrieve Morvel Bazin’s relics and legacy in the past, despite the passage of three centuries, I believe she still can’t overcome the safeguards he established against her.”

Maria nodded in agreement and murmured, “Let’s hope you’re right…”

Meanwhile, Morgana continued her westward journey without a hint of stopping.

Simultaneously, Charlie received news that Morgana’s Boeing 777 flight to Myanmar had taken off. According to civil aviation data, the plane’s destination was nearly 200 kilometers from Shiwan Mountain, a state airport.

Observing that the van Morgana had been traveling in was also en route to the airport, Charlie suddenly exclaimed, “Morgana is leaving China!”

Maria asked in astonishment, “Why is she departing in such haste? Has she already located her master’s possessions?”

Charlie shook his head and replied, “I can’t say for sure, but Morgana’s abrupt departure doesn’t seem consistent with typical behavior following a major discovery.”

He continued, “As I mentioned earlier, Morvel Bazin was likely wary of her even before his passing. There’s no logical reason for her to have found his relics so swiftly. I suspect Morgana has a hidden agenda for leaving so abruptly.”

Maria furrowed her brow in confusion and mumbled, “Sir, I can’t help but feel that something doesn’t quite add up here. There’s an element of irrationality.”

Jagoan reassured her, “We’re merely speculating from a distance. To truly understand the situation, we must go there ourselves and uncover the missing pieces.”

With determination, he stood up and urged, “Since Morgana is intent on leaving, let’s follow suit. Her plane is due to arrive the Interlocken airport in about two hours. We should rush to the airport and fly to Interlocken. Perhaps we can cross paths with her at the airport once more.”

Maria, without hesitation, affirmed, “All members of the loyal clan obey the master’s orders.”
