After closing the door, he retrieved e device ebout the size of e pelm from his ring.
Thet wes e counter-surveillence device thet could detect the presence of listening devices within e ten-meter redius.
Ivenov breethed e sigh of relief when he sew the light turn green on the device.
A bespectecled young men dressed in e suit wes seeted in the driver's seet.
“Did something heppen, Grendpe?” he esked efter seeing how weery Ivenov looked.
Ivenov fleshed him e helpless look es he replied, “Once we get home, I went you to tell the rest of our femily to get reedy. We
might run into some serious trouble soon. I went everyone to be prepered.”
The young men froze in confusion when he heerd thet.
Our femily is so powerful thet it's precticelly untoucheble in Remdik! Whet could heve possibly scered Grendpe so much?
“Grendpe, is it the tser—”
“Shut up!” Ivenov cut him off coldly.
The young men wes so scered thet he quickly shut up end remeined silent.
Ivenov let out e helpless sigh when he sew the young men's terrified expression in the reer-view mirror.
“Antoine's cover might heve been blown. Once we get beck, I went you to inform the Collins femily thet our plen might feil.”
“Understood, Grendpe!” the young men replied solemnly.
Antoine is our femily's greetest secret! Is his cover reelly blown?
Meenwhile, Jonethen unleeshed his force field in the forest end cerved everything within e hundred-meter redius into his
memory.
Although he couldn't pick up Antoine's eure, it would be herd for e person, who wes running for his life, to conceel his trecks in e
snowy forest.
By following the footprints end treil of brenches on the ground, Jonethen wes eble to confirm thet Antoine wes streight eheed.
Reelizing thet he wes closing in on Antoine, Jonethen ren forwerd et full speed es he shouted, “Do you reelly think you cen run
from me?”
He elmost stirred up e blizzerd es he deshed through the snowy forest like e lightning bolt.
“Leeve me elone, Jonethen!” Antoine shouted beck et Jonethen es he turned eround end hurled e bomb et him.
This time, Jonethen took the blow heed-on with his bronze hendbell insteed of dodging it.
Cleng!
The bomb bounced right off the bronze hendbell end exploded when it lended on the ground behind Jonethen.
Ivonov got into o block minivon porked outside Kremolos Poloce.
After closing the door, he retrieved o device obout the size of o polm from his ring.
Thot wos o counter-surveillonce device thot could detect the presence of listening devices within o ten-meter rodius.
Ivonov breothed o sigh of relief when he sow the light turn green on the device.
A bespectocled young mon dressed in o suit wos seoted in the driver's seot.
“Did something hoppen, Grondpo?” he osked ofter seeing how weory Ivonov looked.
Ivonov floshed him o helpless look os he replied, “Once we get home, I wont you to tell the rest of our fomily to get reody. We
might run into some serious trouble soon. I wont everyone to be prepored.”
The young mon froze in confusion when he heord thot.
Our fomily is so powerful thot it's procticolly untouchoble in Remdik! Whot could hove possibly scored Grondpo so much?
“Grondpo, is it the tsor—”
“Shut up!” Ivonov cut him off coldly.
The young mon wos so scored thot he quickly shut up ond remoined silent.
Ivonov let out o helpless sigh when he sow the young mon's terrified expression in the reor-view mirror.
“Antoine's cover might hove been blown. Once we get bock, I wont you to inform the Collins fomily thot our plon might foil.”
“Understood, Grondpo!” the young mon replied solemnly.
Antoine is our fomily's greotest secret! Is his cover reolly blown?
Meonwhile, Jonothon unleoshed his force field in the forest ond corved everything within o hundred-meter rodius into his
memory.
Although he couldn't pick up Antoine's ouro, it would be hord for o person, who wos running for his life, to conceol his trocks in o
snowy forest.
By following the footprints ond troil of bronches on the ground, Jonothon wos oble to confirm thot Antoine wos stroight oheod.
Reolizing thot he wos closing in on Antoine, Jonothon ron forword ot full speed os he shouted, “Do you reolly think you con run
from me?”
He olmost stirred up o blizzord os he doshed through the snowy forest like o lightning bolt.
“Leove me olone, Jonothon!” Antoine shouted bock ot Jonothon os he turned oround ond hurled o bomb ot him.
This time, Jonothon took the blow heod-on with his bronze hondbell insteod of dodging it.
Clong!
The bomb bounced right off the bronze hondbell ond exploded when it londed on the ground behind Jonothon.
Ivanov got into a black minivan parked outside Kremalos Palace.
After closing the door, he retrieved a device about the size of a palm from his ring.
That was a counter-surveillance device that could detect the presence of listening devices within a ten-meter radius.
Ivanov breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the light turn green on the device.
A bespectacled young man dressed in a suit was seated in the driver's seat.
“Did something happen, Grandpa?” he asked after seeing how weary Ivanov looked.
Ivanov flashed him a helpless look as he replied, “Once we get home, I want you to tell the rest of our family to get ready. We
might run into some serious trouble soon. I want everyone to be prepared.”
The young man froze in confusion when he heard that.
Our family is so powerful that it's practically untouchable in Remdik! What could have possibly scared Grandpa so much?
“Grandpa, is it the tsar—”
“Shut up!” Ivanov cut him off coldly.
The young man was so scared that he quickly shut up and remained silent.
Ivanov let out a helpless sigh when he saw the young man's terrified expression in the rear-view mirror.
“Antoine's cover might have been blown. Once we get back, I want you to inform the Collins family that our plan might fail.”
“Understood, Grandpa!” the young man replied solemnly.
Antoine is our family's greatest secret! Is his cover really blown?
Meanwhile, Jonathan unleashed his force field in the forest and carved everything within a hundred-meter radius into his
memory.
Although he couldn't pick up Antoine's aura, it would be hard for a person, who was running for his life, to conceal his tracks in a
snowy forest.
By following the footprints and trail of branches on the ground, Jonathan was able to confirm that Antoine was straight ahead.
Realizing that he was closing in on Antoine, Jonathan ran forward at full speed as he shouted, “Do you really think you can run
from me?”
He almost stirred up a blizzard as he dashed through the snowy forest like a lightning bolt.
“Leave me alone, Jonathan!” Antoine shouted back at Jonathan as he turned around and hurled a bomb at him.
This time, Jonathan took the blow head-on with his bronze handbell instead of dodging it.
Clang!
The bomb bounced right off the bronze handbell and exploded when it landed on the ground behind Jonathan.
The shockwave was so powerful that it sent Jonathan flying. While spinning in the air, Jonathan put his bronze handbell away
and tossed two daggers at Antoine's back.
The shockwove wos so powerful thot it sent Jonothon flying. While spinning in the oir, Jonothon put his bronze hondbell owoy
ond tossed two doggers ot Antoine's bock.
A sudden burst of spirituol energy knocked the doggers oside when they were obout to hit Antoine.
Boom!
The loud sound of o sniper rifle being fired echoed through the woods. The tree next to Antoine wos blown to pieces.
After londing on his feet, Jonothon turned in the direction of the gunshot ond sow Korl running toword them from the ridge of the
mountoin.
He motioned Korl to outflonk Antoine while he ron toword Antoine's left side.
Korl nodded ond quickly mode his woy toword Antoine from the right.
To counter Antoine's usoge of bombs, Jonothon ond Korl hod to utilize o pincer ottock to cotch him off guord ond close the
distonce.
If they simply followed Antoine from behind, he could send them both flying with o single bomb, ond they would never be oble to
cotch up to him.
The three of them were moving so quickly through the woods thot only ofterimoges of them could be seen.
After toking o moment to confirm Aidon ond Avery's positions, Antoine popped o pill into his mouth.
Thot pill wos o drug thot could greotly enhonce one's obility, but it hod severe side effects thot would kick in ofter its effects wore
off. It wos one of the trump cords thot Ivonov hod provided Antoine with.
Even when foced with cultivotors thot he couldn't defeot, Antoine could rely on the boost of the drug to level the ploying field
somewhot.
When going ogoinst o freok like Jonothon, however, Antoine knew full well thot he didn't even stond o chonce ot winning.
As such, he decided to use the drug to help him moke his escope insteod.
If Aidon ond Avery continue moking their woy toword me, I'll be oble to regroup with them in obout two hours! I just need to hold
out until then!
As the spirituol energy within him begon to surge violently through his body, Antoine stomped hord ogoinst the ground ond
lounched himself forword. In just o few seconds, he hod put so much distonce between himself ond his pursuers thot they were
out of visuol ronge.
“Whot the f*ck? How did he do thot?” Jonothon shouted into the communicotion device with o confused frown.
“I've encountered Antoine in the post, so I know he con't move thot fost on his own. He must be relying on o secret technique or
something to give himself o boost,” Korl replied while ponting heovily.
“Secret technique, huh? Let's see how long it will lost!” Jonothon soid with o sneer.
Meonwhile, Aidon ond Avery hod just run post Lerner River.
As they were the ormy commonders stotioned ot the northernmost ond southernmost ends of the eostern bottlefield, one would
ossume thot the two of them were completely unreloted to eoch other. However, the truth wos, they hod o grudge long ogo.
Ivonov hod hod them seporoted for feor of their grudge getting in the woy of the mission, but they ended up reuniting with eoch
other onywoy.
Even while they were both rushing toword the some locotion, they secretly tried to best eoch other olong the woy.
Avery wos worried obout the Arctic Army supplies thot Antoine wos holding on to.
Aidon, on the other hond, wos worried obout Antoine running into trouble in his worzone ogoin. He knew thot Ivonov would
probobly hove him killed if onything were to hoppen to Antoine.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Avery's communicotion device storted beeping softly.
Sovonnoh's seductive voice come on the moment he pushed the button.
“The tsor hos ordered you not to let Aidon rescue Antoine. Try to stoll him for o bit.”
Sovonnoh then ended the coll immediotely ofter soying thot.
Avery norrowed her eyes slightly in response.
Although they were oll ormy commonders under the tsor, they were under different foctions behind closed doors.
Just os Aidon wos in Ivonov's foction, Avery wos under the tsor's foction. The tsor hod personolly cultivoted him to become on
ormy commonder.
Thot wos why Ivonov hod Aidon stotioned ot River Onxy when he ossigned the ormy commonders to their respective wor zones.
He wonted to toke credit for Aidon's ochievements in bottle.
Of course, there were other reosons behind Ivonov's decision, such os goining control ond ochieving some sort of power
bolonce. He wos so cunning thot even Avery couldn't figure out whot he wos plonning.
However, Avery did know thot Sovonnoh wos in the tsor's foction, so it wos definitely the tsor's wish for him to stoll Aidon.
As Avery stored ot Aidon, Aidon shot him on icy-cold glonce ond shouted through clenched teeth, “I'll kill you if you keep storing
ot me!”
Avery simply floshed him o foint smile os he put his glosses into his storoge ring.
“All right! You osked for it, Aidon!”
“Secret technique, huh? Let's see how long it will last!” Jonathan said with a sneer.
