After saying goodbye to Maria, Nana returned home with two things on his mind.
Firstly, he was determined to make the most of his time and refine the Thunderbolt that Maria had given him, the
Mother of Pu’er, the Lightning Strike Wood.
Secondly, he needed to keep a close eye on the Boeing 777’s next destination, which he suspected might be Aurous
Hill. If that were the case, he had to be ready to deal with it promptly.
With eight hours remaining until the next stop of the Boeing 777, Nana wasted no time and immediately began the
process of refining the Thunderbolt once he got home.
Refining the Thunderbolt wasn’t new to Nana; he had done it before. But as he entered the lightning strike wood of
the Mother of Pu’er, he encountered unexpected difficulties. The spirit energy he used to perfect the formation
struggled to make an impact, as if the lightning strike had become incredibly resilient and hard to work with.
In the past, the aura was like a carving knife, and the lightning strike wood was like soft wood, easily accepting the
markings. But now, it was like trying to carve into hard steel with a simple knife.
Nana was taken aback by the surprising toughness of the wood. He had no magical tools that could help him get
through this, so he had no other choice but to infuse the wood with more and more reiki. The reiki consumption

Nana knew there was no turning back, though. To turn the Mother of Pu’er into a powerful tool, he needed to invest
more effort.
In his determination, he used a Regeneration Pill to supplement the rapidly depleting reiki. After several hours of
intense work, Nana finally opened his eyes, sweat dripping down his face.
He now held a palm-sized, jet-black Thunderbolt in his hand, giving off a faint metallic luster. The texture was so
fine that it seemed impossible to believe it was made of wood. Holding it, he could sense the electricity coursing
through it, reminiscent of a storm at sea with thunder and lightning flashing and roaring.
Feeling the connection with the immense power of the Thunderbolt, Nana was amazed at its potency compared to
the previous one.
Just as he was excitedly examining his newly refined creation, Isaac Cameron called again with crucial information.
The Boeing 777 had requested a route from Melbourne, Australia, to Mandalay, Myanmar.
“Mandalay?” Nana frowned. “Are you certain about this information?”
“Absolutely,” Isaac Cameron replied confidently. “The flight route reported to the Australian air traffic control
department is for Mandalay. The plane will land in Melbourne Airport in about four hours, rest for an hour, and then
continue to fly to Mandalay. It will take at least ten hours to reach Mandalay from Melbourne.”
Relieved that the plane was not heading to Aurous Hill, Nana was curious about why the Warriors Den suddenly sent
a plane to Myanmar.
Intrigued, he called Maria and shared the news with her. Maria seemed surprised by the development and
pondered, “Why would Morgana suddenly send someone to Myanmar…”
Nana suggested, “Perhaps they have dead soldiers stationed there, or maybe the Chinese army is involved?”
Maria chimed in, “According to Morgana’s cautious nature, she’d put the entire Warriors Den in lockdown. The Five
Armies would operate independently and in silence. Sending someone from the headquarters would be highly
unlikely…”
Puzzled, Nana questioned, “If the Chinese army’s Governor’s Mansion isn’t in Myanmar, then what could be
Morgana’s intention?”
Maria paused, saying, “My intuition tells me it might be Morgana herself going to Myanmar.”
“Her? Morgana herself?” Nana exclaimed, surprised. “Why do you think that, Ms. Clark?”
“It’s just a gut feeling,” Maria explained. “The Young Master’s empty city plan must have terrified Morgana. Sending
a plane to Myanmar so quickly indicates she might be going there personally.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNana pressed, “Then what do you think her purpose in Myanmar could be?”
Maria speculated, “If I’m right, she might be planning to enter China secretly through the Southern Myanmar
border.”
Nana was taken aback, “Morgana coming to China?! Does she plan to visit Aurous Hill in person?”
“No,” Maria clarified. “She won’t come to Aurous Hill herself. My guess is that she wants to go to the south first,
then head to Shiwan.”
“Morgana in China…” Nana mused. “But why go to Myanmar first? Wouldn’t it be more convenient to fly directly to
Vietnam? Shiwan is closer to the Vietnam border.”
Maria thought for a moment before saying, “Perhaps she wants to visit the south first, possibly to revisit her past.
And then, she’ll head to Shiwan in search of Master’s legendary materials, treasures, and tools.”
Maria continued, “With more than ten hours until she arrives in Myanmar, she won’t use conventional channels to
enter China. She might cross the border secretly. Mandalay is over 300 kilometers away from the border, so she’ll
have a few hours’ window to enter the southern province.”
Nana couldn’t help but inquire, “That window period? Do you think she’ll use this time to reach the southern
province?”
