“Leave in your helicopter?” Charlie glanced at Steve, puzzled. “Where exactly can your helicopter take me?”

Steve hastily replied, “It has a range of about three hundred miles. Anywhere it flies, you’re good to go!”

He quickly added, “I’ve already alerted the pilot to get ready for takeoff. You’re free to leave whenever!”

Charlie inquired, “And where do you plan for me to go once you’re ready to take off?”

Steve responded promptly, “I intend for my son, Royce, to head back and assess the situation at home, check on everyone’s progress, and gather any news…”

Charlie remained composed, “You’re sending your son back home instead of letting him venture outside the blockade. How can you guarantee your helicopter’s passage in and out of the blockade area?”

Steve replied instinctively, “As the primary heir of the Rothschild family, my helicopter can surely come and go without obstruction. No one will dare to stop me.”

Charlie gave a faint smile, “Whether anyone dares to stop you, that’ll only become apparent once you try.”

Turning to Hank, Charlie instructed, “You’ll accompany Master Royce on the helicopter ride. Fly directly outside the blockade. If there’s no interference, return straight away. If there is, claim that Master Royce wants to test air traffic control’s strength.”

Royce visibly relaxed upon hearing he’d be allowed to leave via helicopter, as if narrowly escaping a calamity.

In his mind, as long as he could leave and if the helicopter faced interception, he could call for help and find a way out. But Charlie’s next words instantly shattered his hopeful scenario.

Charlie glanced at Hank and stated calmly, “Remember, if Master Royce tries to seek help or abandons you at any point, don’t hesitate to shoot him. Aim for his head and make it count.”
