“Who is that?”

The voice startled the explorers. Old Raul jumped up and s.n.a.t.c.hed out a hunting rifle from his backpack. The other explores followed his lead and produced their weapons.

They were right in the bowel of a blizzard on the frozen wasteland. How could there be anyone else? Even if there was someone nearby, why didn’t they see him?

Everyone looked out of the cave opening and saw a man walking toward them amidst the howling wind and snow.

Despite the frigid temperature, the man was only wearing a thin layer. His face was extremely handsome and two black penetrating eyes glinted in the snow while his silky black hair danced around his cheek. His statuesque body made his appearance almost G.o.d-like. The flurry of ice-snow mix bounced off of his body, defying any law of physics known to mankind.

“Look under his feet!”

Someone put in quietly.

The explorers were shocked to notice that as the young man made his way toward them, he left no footprint on the knee-deep snow.

“Is he a ghost?”

A thought crept into everyone’s mind, sending chills down their spines.

Old Raul suddenly remembered something and quickly dropped his gun and replied with great respect in his voice.

“My lord. Today is February 14th, 2010.”

“2010? So I have been here for a year already?”

Chen Fan murmured to himself.

Seeing that Chen Fan and Old Raul’s conversation appeared to be normal, the other explorers also lowered their guns. However, once they heard Chen Fan’s murmur, they were shocked to learn that the young man had lived here for a year.

The Environment here on the northern edge of Siberia was as unforgiving as that in the Arctic. Most people could remain here for a week at the most, even with enough provisions. However, Chen Fan didn’t have any luggage with him, nor was he wearing any warm items of clothing. It was inconceivable that he could have survived here for a year.

However, Old Raul didn’t question the young man, instead, he lowered his head even more. His demeanor before the young man was so respectful that it verged on subservient.

He had heard stories about powerful martial artists who could walk on top of the snow, kill a grizzly bear with their bare hands, and were impervious to harmful elements. They often sought a harsh environment to aid their cultivation. Old Raul had suspected that Chen Fan was one of such warriors, seeking seclusion and challenge on the frozen tundra. Old Raul reckoned that if that was the case, the young man must be a force to be reckoned with.

“Does anyone of you know how to get to the City of Yakutsk?”

Chen Fan asked.

The first thing on Chen Fan’s agenda was to seek revenge. However, Chen Fan wagered that in order to locate the North Division, he needs the help of his Russian friend, Paul.

In addition, Chen Fan and Yang Qinhu had carried out their expedition under extreme secrecy. Someone must have disclosed their mission to the Russian military and the western Dark Overlords.

That meant someone—likely someone from Russia—had double-crossed him and Yang Qinhu.

“My Lord, are you heading to Yakutsk?”

Old Raul hazarded cautiously. “We came from the City of Yakutsk, and are on our way back. If you don’t mind our company, feel free to join us.”

“There is no need. You guys are too slow. Provide me a map and location, I will get there myself.”

Chen Fan said lightly.

Old Raul didn’t press on. He hurried to fish out a map from his backpack.

Meanwhile, Natasha rounded her eyes in surprise as she noticed the same features shared between the young man and the mysterious figure she saw in the wash of light.

“Black cloth, dark hair and dark eyes… Is he the one I saw flying above the valley?”

“He looks and acts just like a human. How could he fly? Is he an angel… or worse, a demon!”

The mystery and danger tugged at the strings of her restless heart.

She couldn’t stand the mundane life of a typical rich girl from a typical rich family. She rebelled against her family at a very young age and chose to live by herself. She got into the best university in Russia in studying archaeology. Since her graduation, she had been traveling the mysterious north and visited nearly all settlements in Siberia.

“My Lord here is the map and this is your course. The city of Yakutsk is about a thousand kilometer in this direction.” Old Raul unfurled the map on a flat surface and charted a course for Chen Fan.

“very well.”

Chen Fan nodded slightly.

It only took Chen Fan a quick glance over the map to memorized his course and all the details of the map. He turned around and started off. No one dared to speak a word as they were still afraid of the strange and mysterious visitor to their camp.

Even as Chen Fan was about to disappear amidst the snow and ice, a girl’s voice came up from behind.

“Sir, can you bring me with you?”

“uh?”

Chen Fan about-turned and looked to the speaker with a great measure of curiosity.

He watched as Natasha slowly rose to her feet while trembling uncontrollably. She mustered as much courage as she had and spoke out again with more confidence. “Sir, I can tell that you are seeking something. I know the northern land like the back of my hand and might be of help to you.”

“Natasha!”

The handsome young man blanched. The rest of the explorers also looked at her with shock and surprise.

Natasha didn’t mind her companion’s disbelief. Despite herself, she remained unwavering in her request.

“Do you know where the Headquarters for the North Division is located?”

Chen Fan asked as he narrowed his eyes.

“Yes, I do. It is located near the City of Jaco near the Chinese border. It has branches… ” Natasha answered readily.
