229 The Escape
Selma Payne’s POV:
Most of what I’d said about Yuri was true. I knew his past wasn’t fake, but it wasn’t the royal family who investigated him for .
Just as he was trying to stir up conflict, Dorothy had already seen through his past actions. That was why I knew so much dark stuff that no one knew about.
“How are your eyes?” I whispered concernedly, “You’ve already used the Eye of Insight twice today. Let us know if you can’t take it anymore.”
“I feel pretty good,” Dorothy said with a calm expression. “Or rather, I don’t feel anything at all.”
With the disappearance of the demonic shards, Frank’s condition gradually stabilized. At the very least, his high fever had steadily subsided. But he was still unconscious, and the situation we were most worried about still happened.
Master Kevin expressed his helplessness. “This is a classic case of a soul loss coma. There are too many soul fragnts, and the soul cannot support a body’s movent. Unless we can find the remaining soul fragnts and put them together, Captain Frank only has two to three months left.”
How could it turn out like this?
He had tried his best to save her, but he still couldn’t get a satisfactory result. It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t disappointed or anxious. However, facing a group of mbers without a leader, I had to pick up the spirit of a leader.
When Master Mary received the news from the palace, the plane rushed to the safe house at its fastest speed. Due to the situation’s urgency, the helicopter in charge of picking up captain Frank would arrive before six in the morning. The rest of the deported mbers had to wait for the plane that ca in the morning.
This ant we had to leave imdiately and get to the safe house before the helicopter arrived.
I called for the construction of the ward to be called off and imdiately led a group of team mbers and Captain Frank down the mountain.
Dorothy and Master Mary needed to bring the captain’s exclusive supplies and equipnt back to the ruins of the witch clan. Before leaving, Dorothy quietly told , “Be careful of Yuri. He doesn’t look like an honest person.”
“What did you see?”
“I didn’t use the Eye of Insight this ti. Perhaps I overused it unknowingly, so it didn’t respond to . However, I feel that he won’t be tad so easily. He’s an ambitious villain, and it’s hard to say if he won’t do sothing harmful to protect himself.”
Yuri was no longer a threat. I was more concerned about Dorothy’s eyes. “Overdrawn? Why didn’t you say so earlier? I shouldn’t have allowed you to use the Eye of Insight. It’s all my fault. I had a way to help, but I still put you in danger.”
Dorothy appeared rather cold toward this and did not want to talk much about her health. She only told , “I’ll be fine after taking care of it. You, on the other hand, must not let your guard down. This is a strange snow mountain, and anything strange can happen.”
The night’s blizzard was as cold and hard as a knife. At this mont, I envied the mbers who could transform into wolves the most. Their thick fur and tough skin were the best protection.
Unknowingly, the eastern sky had turned white.
After recuperating for a short while at the first base, I was about to tell my team mbers to continue their journey when there was a sudden commotion.
A few seconds later, a team mber hurriedly ca to report, “Sothing happened, Captain! I don’t know what’s wrong with Yuri, but he suddenly attacked the team mbers guarding him and escaped into the mountains!”
“What?!”
I quickly sent people to look for him, but the snow-capped mountains were vast, and hiding a person was as easy as hiding a grain of rice in the sea. Yuri had used so unknown thod to hide his scent, and even the wolves with the most sensitive sense of sll couldn’t tell where he went,
“An evil magic tool.” Master Kevin said, “I can feel the subtle residual magic fluctuations. This kind of trick is not very clever, but the open environnt of snow mountains can better exert its effect.”
“Do you know what it is?”
“It’s probably so disposable item sealed with anti-tracking sorcery. The sorcery contained in this kind of thing is extrely easy to lose its effect. It’s usually a second-grade item used to cheat people on the black market. I didn’t expect to let Yuri escape by accident.”
Master Kevin took out a small glass bottle from his arms as he spoke. Inside it was a few strands of brown hair.
“Mary reminded to prepare a backup plan. She always has foresight.” He handed the bottle to . This is Yuri’s hair. I can track his location through it. Do you want to find him now?”
“No, we can’t take care of him now.” I returned the bottle to Master Kevin. “Let’s talk about it after we send Captain Frank back. We can wait, but he can’t.”
At 5:30, we arrived at the safe house, travel-worn. The morning in the countryside always started earlier than in the city, and smoke was already rising from the kitchen chimneys of many families. It was not easy to hide from people, especially a group of well-equipped n and won. It was hard to convince others that we were on vacation.
It was almost six o’clock. While we were anxiously waiting, the helicopter finally arrived. It was accompanied by excellent dical equipnt and professional dical staff. I briefly explained Frank’s situation to them and watched as the helicopter rumbled away.
