Lawrence had this question from the very beginning: where was the destination of this car?
At this point, it was obvious that they were already in the suburbs, meaning they would end up in some remote area if they continued driving.
âMy ship is docked at the harbor in Canara City, and we need to go from here,â explained Leonard.
He had initially wanted to invite Haylan and the others onto his ship, but during their escape, he received a message from the crew informing him that his vessel had been moved to Canara City due to some circumstances.
Helpless, they had no choice but to head toward the harbor of Canara City.
âHow far are we from Canara City?â Lawrence asked.
Leonard glanced at his watch and calmly replied, âItâs approximately 62 miles away. With the current speed, weâll reach there within an hour.â
Upon hearing this, Lawrence frowned slightly.
Reign and Yvonne also furrowed their brows.
After all, an hour was enough time for many things to happen.
Thus, if there was an ambush, they might not be able to reach the port of Canara City in a short period of time.
âDonât worry, we have the ability to handle any ambushes that may come our way,â Haylan said calmly.
He stood on the roof of the car, his feet firmly planted as if rooted to the ground.
Even if the car sped up, it could not shake him in the slightest.
Moreover, every word he spoke reached everyoneâs ears with precision.
His words seemed to possess a mysterious power that reassured everyone inside the car.
It was as if as long as he was present, everything would be fine.
After all, they had gone through lifeâandâdeath situations with him for so long, and they had never seen anyone rampage in front of him for long.
As time passed, their car soon arrived at the port of Canara City, encountering no obstacles along the way.
Landon, Lawrence, and the others could not help but feel amazed.
It was an incredibly smooth journey, after all.
Just now, they had prepared themselves for a lifeâorâdeath struggle, yet they had arrived in the port of Canara City so smoothly that it felt like a dream.
Leonard glanced at Haylan, his gaze deep.
Among this group of people, he knew what had happened the best.
His owls and bald eagles were well aware of every ambush within a 62âmile radius, but each time, those ambushers had already perished tragically before he could even make a move.
Though he did not know what exactly had happened.
After all, the animals under his command could not observe sword beans. However, they did manage to witness those ambushers flying out for no reason, meeting their demise.
Although he did not know the specifics, he had a vague feeling that all of this was related to Haylan.
He buried his doubts in his heart and said to Reign and the others, âEveryone, I have sent people to retrieve your luggage from the hotel where you were staying. Letâs board the ship first.â
With that, he led them onto his ship.
When Reign and Yvonne saw the ships docked at the harbor, they were dumbfounded.
This was not just a ship!
It was an aircraft carrier!
The hull alone was 0.6 miles meters long and 656 feet tall.
The individuals standing beneath this carrier appear minuscule in comparison.
10.25 âIs this a ship?â Lawrence was dumbfounded.
âIt must have taken a long time to build such a large aircraft carrier. The craftsmanship of the workers must be extraordinary,â Landon murmured.
âSetting aside the craftsmanship, how much money does it cost to build such a carrier?â Reign whispered.
Yvonne looked at the aircraft carrier, her mouth wide open in astonishment, unable to utter a word.
Leonard smiled slightly and explained, âActually, itâs not much. The total cost for the construction of the hull, workersâ wages, material production, and the weapons carried by this ship amounts to a mere sixteen billion dollars.â
When Reign, Yvonne, and the others heard this, their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
It was sixteen billion dollars!
This was more than the total assets of the Mapleturz Group combined!
Shadow Knight was very wealthy!
Suddenly, Reign weakly remembered something and asked, âLast time, I encountered a similar aircraft carrier near the sea outside Fostraria, and there was a particularly advanced Black Dragon fighter jet on it. How many of these aircraft carriers does Shadow Knight have?â
Leonard smiled and replied, âIâm not entirely sure, but at least 30 highâranking members in Shadow Knight have their own aircraft carriers, just like me.â
The number â30â echoed in their minds.
Reign, Yvonne, and so on were stunned by the revelation.
If an aircraft carrier cost sixteen billion dollars, then 30 of it would amount to 80 billion dollars!
That would be enough to rival a nationâs wealth!
They had no idea that Shadow Knight was that wealthy.
âWell, now that we have reached Shadow Knightâs territory, we are safe. Let me take you to your cabin for rest.â
With a composed demeanor, Leonard guided Haylan, Reign, and the rest onto the carrier and organized their lodgings.
He was quite considerate, arranging for Haylan and Reign to share a room, while the others had their own.
Walking on the carrier, Reign, Yvonne, and the others finally felt the grandeur of Shadow Knight.
The carrier was enormous, and one would expect it to have a deep draft. After all, if it got too close to the harbor, it could easily run aground.
However, this aircraft carrier could float on the water without grounding.
Despite the turbulent winds, the vessel stood firm and unwavering, showing no signs of swaying Furthermore, the railings on this carrier boasted exquisite craftsmanship, adorned with intricate carvings Once they entered their cabins, they were even more astonished.
The cabins surpassed the opulence of typical fiveâstar hotels, offering beds and a range of amenities of exceptional quality that provided unparalleled luxury, Even the beddings were made of the worldâs finest goose down.
Seated on the couch, Landon marveled with admiration, declaring, âShadow Knight truly deserves its status as the worldâs top mercenary group. Itâs absolutely aweâinspiringâ
Meanwhile, Reign looked around, experiencing a tremendous sense of disparity for the first time.
Being the wealthiest individual in Lightdom City who was worth tens of billions of dollars, she once believed she had already indulged in the finest possessions the world had to offer.
Yet, seeing all the extravagance within Shadow Knight, she realized just how small the Mapletre Group was in comparison.
The price of a single aircraft carrier surpassed the total value of the Mapleture Groupâs assets combined. Furthermore, the mercenary group owned over 30 similar ones.
Setting aside the construction cost, just the maintenance fees for these aircraft carriers and the salaries of so many experts would likely amount to billions of dollars each month.
Shadow Knight was incredibly wealthy!
Being the CEO of a publicly listed company, she found herself experiencing an indescribable and aweâinspiring sensatio toward the assets of another organization, something she had never felt before Leonard stood on the side, observing the expressions of the crowd, nodding in satisfaction.
Then, his gaze shifted to Haylan, his expression turning serious Unlike the astonishment of the others. Haylan remained calm Seeing him like this, he could not help but regard the man in higher regard.
Haylan glanced over the surroundings and casually remarked, âItâs just a small carries Itâs nothing special. Donât be so surprised
