Chapter - 5609

Upon hearing Maria's voice, Charlie couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm in Canada, about to head to Montreal."

"Montreal?" Maria exclaimed, "The last time I went to Montreal, it seems like it was during World War II..."

Before Charlie could respond, she asked curiously, "Wasn't the Young Master going to the United States? How did you end up in Canada? Did you see Peter Cole?"

"I did see him," Charlie replied, "There are many stories behind it and it's hard to explain over the phone. I called you to ask for a favor."

Maria pouted and said, "No need for the Young Master to be so formal with me. If there's anything I can do, just let me know."

Charlie didn't hold back either and said, "I obtained a national treasure and want Uncle Hogan to bring it back to Aurous Hill and then have Mr. Myers help deliver it to the authorities."

"A national treasure?" Maria asked in astonishment, "What national treasure are you talking about?"

Charlie asked her, "Have you ever heard of the Four Treasures of the Study?"

Maria was so shocked that she almost dropped her phone and exclaimed, "The Four Treasures of the Study? Are you talking about the legendary artifact that was crafted by master artisans in the Tang Dynasty to protect the country?"

Charlie curiously asked, "Have you heard of it, Miss Clark?"

Maria blurted out, "My father mentioned it before. He said that his master always talked about wanting to see the true appearance of the Four Treasures of the Study when he was alive. He said it was a treasure forged by the hands of skilled craftsmen. Later, I also saw some records in historical documents, but many people say it is a fabrication and does not really exist..."

Speaking of this, Maria hurriedly asked, "How did you obtain the Four Treasures of the Study? Can you be sure it's the real thing?"

Charlie smiled bitterly and said, "This is a long story. I probably need to explain the details to Miss Clark when I return. But I can confirm that it is real. Just by holding it in my hands, I can tell it's not an ordinary item."

"That's true. The Young Master has extraordinary abilities and can definitely discern its authenticity," Maria said, then she stopped asking for specific details and said, "Young master, the Four Treasures of the Study has always been a legendary artifact. Even the fact that the Young Master was able to obtain it on this trip to America is truly a stroke of luck. In my opinion, the Young Master should keep the Four Treasures of the Study with you. It will surely bring great help to your journey!"

Charlie smiled and said, "This thing was created by skilled artisans and many monks to protect the country and its people. How can I keep it for myself? If I were to keep it, what would differentiate me from the Rothschild family? Besides, with my current level of expertise, I am not deserving of such a treasure. It's better to let Mr. Myers help return it to Aurous Hill. It should shine and inspire the people of China."

Maria couldn't help but ask, "Have you thought it through carefully, Young Master?"

Charlie nodded, "Yes, I have."

Then, Charlie said, "I have a favor to ask of you. I would like you to inform Mr. Myers and ask him to make preparations to temporarily return to Eastcliff. When Uncle Hogan brings the Four Treasures of the Study back to Aurous Hill, I want him to bring it to Eastcliff as soon as possible."

Maria asked, "Young Master, for such an important donation, don't you plan on going to Eastcliff yourself?"

Charlie said, "I can't go back for the time being. Besides, I don't want people to know that I brought the Four Treasures of the Study back to the country. This is something that Mr. Myers needs to communicate with the authorities and ensure that the process of the Four Treasures of the Study returning to China is not revealed to the public."

Maria said, "Young Master, rest assured, I will explain everything clearly to Keagan."

Charlie said, "Also, please ask him to convey to the authorities that the only request from the donor is to publicly announce the return of the Four Treasures of the Study to the country as soon as possible and to handle it properly. Only when the news of the Four Treasures of the Study's return to China is released through official channels can things in the United States settle down completely."

"Understood! I got it!"

...

Montreal Airport.

Before Hogan arrived, Charlie saw several special agents from Dragon Temple in Canada.

These individuals were different from the mercenaries employed by the Dragon Temple headquarters. They did not directly participate in military operations hired by the Dragon Temple around the world. Instead, they would stay in fixed countries and regions as secret liaison stations, becoming members of the station.

Their daily responsibilities, besides maintaining military training, mainly involved setting up safe houses and meeting points in the local area. At the same time, they secretly stockpiled necessary weapons, equipment, transportation, cash, gold, and even false identities, in order to facilitate other operations conducted by the Dragon Temple in the local area.

The Dragon Temple had three secret liaison stations in Canada, located in Vancouver in the west, Toronto in the east, and Edmonton in the central region.

This time, Wesley dispatched special agents stationed in Toronto.

These special agents appeared to be employees of a travel company on the surface, mainly responsible for receiving tourists from around the world coming to Canada. They did have legitimate business operations and employed over a hundred staff members. Only a dozen or so executives were members of the Dragon Temple, while the rest were formally recruited employees.

These special agents had clean identities. They had the image of corporate executives and carried themselves with the demeanor of the elite class. When a group of seven or eight people traveled together, it looked like a business trip. Combined with their legal identities and work backgrounds, they could withstand meticulous background checks.

Charlie assigned them the task of safely escorting Hogan to Aurous Hill and completing the handover with Keagan Myers.

They were already members of the Dragon Temple, and they didn't know Hogan or that he was bringing the Four Treasures of the Study back to China, so the security was guaranteed.

Furthermore, Charlie could be sure that Steve and Royce would never reveal the news that they had cooperated with him and helped him transport the Four Treasures of the Study.

Therefore, the attention of the Rothschild family would not shift to this matter, and the safety of Hogan carrying the Four Treasures of the Study back to China was further enhanced.

In addition to arranging these special agents to accompany and protect Hogan, the Dragon Temple also arranged for an American special agent to quietly send Charlie back to the United States. This person had been operating at the US-Canada border for many years and had his own connections at the border crossing. Plus, there was an RV camper van with excellent camouflage that could easily hide two or three people inside and smoothly cross the US-Canada border.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, Hogan took the earliest flight and landed at Montreal Airport.

After meeting with Charlie, he handed the wooden box containing the Four Treasures of the Study to him and said, "Uncle Hogan, you take the Four Treasures of the Study to Aurous Hill first. I have already arranged for someone to meet you in Aurous Hill. His name is Keagan Myers and he will bring the Four Treasures of the Study to Eastcliff."

Hogan asked anxiously, "Young Master, aren't you coming with me?"

"I'm not going," Charlie said, "Uncle Cole is still in the hospital. I can't just leave like this. I have to ensure his safety and eliminate any future troubles before I can leave."

Hogan nodded and said, "Then please take care, Young Master. I will return as soon as I deliver the Four Treasures of the Study!"

Charlie said, "Uncle Hogan, there's no need for you to come back. I will arrange for someone to meet you in Aurous Hill and help you settle down there. You can work in Aurous Hill on weekdays and return to Hong Kong Island to be with your family on weekends. You can use the Wade family's plane whenever you want."

Hogan, seeing Charlie's firm attitude, nodded gently and said, "Alright, Young Master, take care!"

Half an hour later, a private jet took off from Montreal Airport and disappeared into the skyline.

The Four Treasures of the Study, which had been away from China for two hundred years, had finally begun its journey home.

Charlie watched as the plane disappeared little by little and then got into the Dragon Temple special agents residence car and headed towards the US-Canada border checkpoint.

Charlie had originally wanted to visit Ottawa and meet Helena in person, but considering that Peter was still in the hospital and that the Chinese authorities might announce the return of the Four Treasures of the Study within a dozen hours, he didn't dare to waste any time. He had to make arrangements in advance to protect Peter's safety.

The only thing Charlie was worried about was Howard Rothschild losing his composure and seeking revenge against Peter.

Helena had a four-day visit in Canada and if Charlie could handle things in New York within those four days, he would make sure to go to Canada and meet her to express his gratitude for her help.
