Chapter 617 - Meeting (1/2)

Agata couldn't say anything after reading that note.

On the other hand, Theo was curious as to how far Nella was being controlled. He still remembered how Nella was so agile every time they met to the point she could sneak in a message back in the Grand Gaia Competition's banquet.

Seeing that she managed to do it perfectly while being controlled, Nella must still have a portion of her consciousness. So, Theo wanted to know more about the situation to see whether he really needed to kill Nella or not in a life and death situation.

Of course, if such a thing wasn't necessary, he would be happy to play along. After all, Nella was one of the few people that had yet to lie to him. Although her ambition was weird, he could still trust her.

Even though he didn't want to have anything to do with the Griffith Family, knowing Nella and getting along as an individual was more than welcome.

That was why he felt bad to see what he expected had come.

Theo shook his head helplessly and said, ”Anyway, we shouldn't stay here. Let's move out.”

The group nodded their heads as Lorenzo took another look at the map and pointed at the northwest. ”Anyway, it's this direction.”

”Let's go.” Theo glanced at Luka, signaling it was his time.

”Tsk. I will help you this time.” Luka clapped his hands as the wind began to form around their feet, blowing all the snow away.

Without the snow, Luka could place his hand on the ground and use his skill. ”Whirlwind. All of you better not make any unnecessary movements.”

After using this technique, the wind started to revolve underneath them and expanded into a tornado that somehow bent after a certain height, carrying them to the direction Lorenzo pointed at earlier.

Theo utilized his Telekinesis to blow the cold air away, allowing the group to travel at a fast speed without freezing.

It took them only a few seconds before they found an igloo in the middle of nowhere.

However, Theo's eyes were not locked on it first. Instead, he was staring at the Dark Poison Swamp they were going to infiltrate after this.

He could see two-color gas permeating the air continuously, enveloping the region.

According to the information, the gas came out of the ground and water, making this place uninhabitable to all creatures except for poison-based creatures.

As if noticing Theo's gaze, Agata said, ”On a normal day, it's far denser than that. I don't think you can survive even if you bring all the antidotes.”

”Yeah. Luckily, the poisonous gas in this place has color. The most dangerous one is usually odorless and colorless after all.” Theo nodded with a serious expression.

”Agreed.” Lorenzo joined their conversation and reminded them they were going to meet their partner.

Russia's team seemed to have felt their presence, so all of them were coming out in succession.

Luka then bent his tornado again, allowing them to land on the ground safely as the residual of the wind pushed all the snow to give them a small platform to stand on.

”Welcome, welcome.” A white-haired woman waved her hand with a smile. Her white eyes intertwined with Lorenzo as a smile appeared on her face. ”It's been a while, eh, Young Master Lorenzo?”

”There's no need for such an honorific.” Lorenzo shook his head. ”We're cooperating on equal ground, so there's no need to be polite.”
