The destination this time was not the Land of Cherry Blossoms, but Great Britain, a journey spanning almost half the globe.
However, this was no great undertaking for the ancient divine eagle. Once it increased its flight speed, it could rival light itself.
"Screech—"
Every time the Sky-Piercing Eagle let out a clear, sharp cry, the Yin-Yang Five Elements spiritual energy between heaven and earth would instantly converge around it and be absorbed into its body.
The spiritual energy absorbed by the Sky-Piercing Eagle was then transformed into energy for its flight speed.
To avoid being discovered by other countries and mistaken for a dangerous aircraft, thereby being attacked, it flew towards its destination in a stealthy manner, as instructed by Cheng Xiaofan.
Around ten-thirty, the Sky-Piercing Eagle had already flown over the island of Great Britain.
"Screech—"
The Sky-Piercing Eagle circled a few times overhead.
At the same time, following its master's instructions, it deactivated its stealth energy field.
"Ah, Mr. Cheng has arrived!" In Philanck's office, Teresa exclaimed with delight upon hearing the Sky-Piercing Eagle's piercing cry.
Philanck had visited Zhuxi Village and was naturally familiar with the cry of the Sky-Piercing Eagle.
"Let's go, let's go out and see!" Philanck then said to the few people around him.
Early that morning, he had heard that Cheng Xiaofan would be arriving that morning. For his own safety, he had specially assigned a few personal bodyguards to stay by his side.
Besides Teresa, there were also his two assistants, Dottie and Lacey.
"Screech—Screech—"
The group hurried out of the villa, and again heard the cry of the Sky-Piercing Eagle from the sky.
They all tilted their heads back and looked up. The Sky-Piercing Eagle was flying lower and lower, and gradually, they saw Cheng Xiaofan, who was sitting cross-legged on its back.
Whoosh!
Still twenty meters above the ground, Cheng Xiaofan suddenly leaped into the air and floated down directly.
"Ah!"
Dottie and Lacey couldn't help but cry out in surprise when they witnessed this scene.
"My God, that's so cool!" The two beautiful women, without regard for Philanck's feelings, exclaimed in unison.
As Cheng Xiaofan landed, the Sky-Piercing Eagle immediately flew into a nearby patch of woods.
Philanck signaled to one of the bodyguards, who immediately understood and left.
With a phone call, the bodyguard summoned over thirty armed personnel, organized in groups of three, each group accompanied by a large and fierce hunting dog.
The bodyguard loudly instructed them, "Everyone, Mr. Philanck has ordered that you bring your beloved companions and capture the eagle that Mr. Cheng Xiaofan brought!"
"Remember, if you can't catch it alive, kill it!"
"Mr. Cheng, welcome. Since we parted ways in China, I've missed you terribly!" Meanwhile, Philanck, with a smile on his face, strode quickly towards Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan, unfazed by Philanck's hypocritical demeanor, simply laughed and said loudly, "Mr. Philanck, you are too kind!"
Philanck chuckled, "Mr. Cheng, you truly live up to your reputation as a celestial being who walks on clouds. When I saw you floating down from the sky just now, I was truly about to fall at your feet!"
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said, "You flatter me!"
Philanck smiled, "Come, Mr. Cheng, let's go to my office and sit for a while!"
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "Very well, you lead the way!"
Upon arriving at the office, Philanck asked, "Mr. Cheng, would you like tea or coffee?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly and said, "I don't like coffee. Please make me a cup of tea. No Earl Grey, no royal blend, I only drink Chinese tea!"
"We have Chinese tea here, I'll make it for you!" Dottie and Lacey eagerly went to get a cup and make tea for Cheng Xiaofan.
As a result, two cups of tea were brought to him.
Cheng Xiaofan picked up one of the cups, took a gentle sniff, and said, "Hmm, this is Huangshan Yunwu tea, it's quite good!"
After taking a sip, his gaze fell upon Teresa, and he asked, "Teresa, have you seen your mother?"
Teresa shook her head and replied, "Not yet!"
Cheng Xiaofan looked at Philanck and said, "Mr. Philanck, now that I have arrived here, you should allow Teresa to take her mother back to China."
"When I came, I promised Han Jie, my Bai Goddess's cousin, that once I reached Great Britain, I would be responsible for reuniting his girlfriend with him."
"Mr. Philanck, you won't refuse me this favor, will you?"
"Of course, I will absolutely grant this favor!" Philanck appeared exceptionally agreeable.
In his opinion, as long as Cheng Xiaofan and his Sky-Piercing Eagle landed on this island, they would not be able to leave easily.
He had dispatched nearly three hundred elite armed personnel to lie in wait on the island. No matter how capable Cheng Xiaofan was, could he withstand bullets?
Teresa and her mother had lost their value to Philanck. For now, his priority was to appease Cheng Xiaofan and avoid direct conflict with him.
"Lacey, please go and invite Teresa's mother over." He waved his hand and said to Lacey.
"Yes, Mr. Philanck!" Lacey immediately responded and retreated.
In less than ten minutes, Lacey returned, followed by a woman in her early fifties, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her appearance clearly showed a resemblance to Teresa.
"Mom!" Teresa, upon seeing her, rushed forward with excitement.
"Oh, my dear Teresa!" Lorraine embraced her daughter.
Cheng Xiaofan stepped forward and reminded her, "Teresa, it's getting late. If you leave now, you might be able to make it back to Zhuxi Village today."
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng. We'll leave immediately!" Teresa nodded at once and said.
Cheng Xiaofan said to Philanck, "Mr. Philanck, it would be best if you sent someone to escort Teresa and her mother safely to the airport!"
Philanck smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, please rest assured, I will definitely make the arrangements for this."
He immediately instructed a bodyguard by his side, "This matter is entrusted to you. As Mr. Cheng said, you must escort Teresa and her mother safely to the airport!"
"Yes, Mr. Philanck!" The bodyguard replied loudly.
Cheng Xiaofan then said to Teresa, "Teresa, once you reach the airport, please let me know you are safe!"
"I understand, Mr. Cheng!" Teresa replied.
Afterwards, the bodyguard, along with Teresa and her mother, left.
Once Teresa and her mother had departed, Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly at Philanck and said, "Mr. Philanck, it's almost noon, and I'm getting hungry. Shouldn't we find a place to eat? If there's anything you'd like to discuss, we might as well do it over a meal!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Cheng is absolutely right. Whatever we need to discuss, we can talk about it while we eat!" Philanck nodded repeatedly and said.
