The soil was completely frozen, and the surface of the lake was covered in ice a few meters thick.

As the altitude was quite high, the oxygen levels were low.

An ordinary man could not survive there for more than a day.

Luckily, Zeke and the others were either King Class or Ultimate Class warriors.

The harsh weather did not affect them much.

The next morning, the shadow stopped and rested as usual.

Just when Zeke and the rest were about to rest, Tiger Lord suddenly patted Sole Wolf's butt again and pointed in the eastern direction.

Puzzled, Sole Wolf asked, “What do you mean? The shadow is heading toward the east?”

Tiger Lord nodded instantly.

Zeke exchanged a look with the rest, his worry evident.

From the start, the shadow had been heading north.

It seemed abnormal for it to head toward the east so suddenly.

There was something fishy about this, so they needed to be on their guard.


Sole Wolf said, “Do you think that we're already near the Netherworld's branch? It might be in the east.”

Zeke shook his head. “That's not very likely. If we're already near the Netherworld's branch, there's no way the shadow would stop and rest. I suspect that it discovered something weird and has been scared off.”

Ares said worriedly, “D*mn it! Did it discover us? I hope that all of our efforts won't be wasted.”

Zeke replied, “That's possible. Let's not panic first. We'll wait and see what happens.”

Instead of heading to the east in pursuit of the shadow, they hid and observed the situation.

Surprisingly, soon after the shadow started running in the eastern direction, it met someone from Eurasia.

It started discussing something with the person discreetly.

As Zeke and the rest could not see the shadow, it seemed like the person from Eurasia was merely talking to himself.

“What the f**k? It's him?” exclaimed Sole Wolf.

Ares asked curiously, “Do you know him?”

Sole Wolf nodded. “Of course. He's Aksel Lewis, the father-in-law of Joseph, the current inspector of the Ministry of Celestial Affairs. Aksel is also the previous inspector of the Ministry of Celestial Affairs. Back then, that b*stard pocketed a lot of spiritual drugs that were supposed to be distributed to the North Zone. I fought with him multiple times over that. It's a pity that I wasn't powerful enough at the time to kill him.”

Alfred said, “He's really in cahoots with the Netherworld! It was all part of the Netherworld's plan when the Ministry of Celestial Affairs asked us for Summerbank!”

Sole Wolf cursed, “Killer Wolf and the rest are really useless! We sent them to capture Aksel, the cunning thief, but he ended up escaping to the North.”
