1054 Foreshadow (1/2)

When Jiang Fei returned to his home in the Winter Islands, Isabella was still fidgeting, flinching about restlessly. Hence, the natural thing to do then was to let the poor girl rest and recuperate for the night.

The journey today was rather unfortunate as Isabella went berserk halfway through. Other than Isabella's sudden outburst, there was nothing else that hindered Jiang Fei's journey besides knowing that there were others out there that were after the alien artifacts.

One night later, when Jiang Fei was about to leave the Winter Islands with Ariel, Han Tianyu came knocking on his door.

”Fei, you there? I've got some urgent news for you!” Han Tianyu bellowed at the doorsteps.

”What's wrong? Did something happen with the martial artists? Did someone try to make a farce?” said Jiang Fei, glancing at Han Tianyu suggestively. It was predicted that some of the old farts did not enjoy the idea of abandoning their homeland.

”Surprisingly… no. It's not about that!”

So far, those that had agreed unanimously were those smaller, second rate sects. They knew that the land they were stepping on belonged to Jiang Fei. While they were in the same alliance, the other sect members chose to obediently cultivate their arts without giving any trouble to Han Tianyu.

”What's wrong then?”

Han Tianyu frowned and sucked in a deep breath before answering.

”The Chinese military had suddenly restricted all the martial artists from leaving their sect,” Han Tianyu reported. He had already contacted many of the other sects and had already arranged transport for all of them. However, before any of the ships and planes could start fueling up, Han Tianyu had received news about the military's sudden change of plans. They would not allow any martial artists to leave China.

”What are they thinking?” Jiang Fei barked, confused.

”I really can't tell. I don't have many inside men that could give me any reliable information for now. We are truly in the dark here,” said Han Tianyu. To be fair, ever since Han Tianyu had chosen to flee China to the Winter Islands, all of his corporate connections to the military were severed. He had lost his power there and thus, lost his means to gather inside information.

”That's fine. Nothing you can do about it anyway. Even so, try your best to investigate the matter. Once you've get hold on any important information, ring me up,” said Jiang Fei after giving it some thought. There was something odd about it but he could not put his finger on it, not that he wanted to just yet. He had other more important matters to tend to; to find the Main Engine room and other apparatus and materials to save Isabella.

”I'll… try.”

Han Tianyu sighed. His original intention was to inform Jiang Fei about the situation and ask him to head over to China to investigate. With his powers, he could do it in a breeze. Nevertheless, Jiang Fei was current the boss of him now. Even though it might take some time, he would do it either way.

After dealing with Han Tianyu, Jiang Fei and Ariel proceeded with their plans to travel. Today, their first objective was to travel to the North Pole. According to 0542, there were two points of interest there. The two flew for some 5 hours before reaching the border of the Arctic circle. Unlike the Antarctic, the land was slightly different and there were no penguins. Nevertheless, it was still freezing cold.

”Let's go down. Be careful when you're walking on the ice,” said Jiang Fei.

The North Arctic circle was crumbling. Instead of a large piece of land covered in ice, there were icebergs. There were so many of them that when Jiang Fei was flying high in the sky, they looked like paper boats floating on water. Hence, the only place that could house the ship fragment would be at the bottom of the sea.

Jiang Fei equipped a few breathing gears that was provided by 0542 before jumping into the freezing waters with Ariel. The subzero temperatures were fatal but to Jiang Fei and Ariel, it was nothing but an ice bath. The two dove down with speed toward the point where the signal was detected.

”0542, have you locked onto the signal?” Jiang Fei asked, throttling a small machine that was helping him to dive downward fast. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”Captain, I am unable to accurately pinpoint the location of the signal. There is a strong interference wave being broadcast through the water.”
