"Jordan? Are you all right?" Lola held and shook her elder brother's arm with her full strength.
Jordan said nothing. Harry, observing the whole scene, turned to Lucien and said, "Lucien, Jordan is
my elder brother, but you treated him with the strongest medicine possible. We have nothing to talk
about now."
Harry stood up and gracefully walked to Lola.
Lucien looked at Harry, who even in such dire circumstances was calm and cool. He unconsciously
made a decision.
"First, leave from here," he said.
The people from Blood Sacrifice retreated. Jordan was taken back to his room and the doctor was
asked to awaken Jordan.
The doctor gave Jordan an injection to clear out the toxins. He gradually gained consciousness.
"Jordan?" Lola tentatively called him out when she noticed that he was regaining consciousness.
Jordan shook his dizzy head slightly. He looked around and saw his anxious sister. "Lola." he
acknowledged in a faint voice.
Lola was happy to see that Jordan was recovering. She went to sit near him. "What happened to you,
brother?" she asked. Seeing Jordan unconscious had scared Lola.
Jordan saw Harry seated on the sofa and was reminded of the things that had happened the day
before.
As soon as he had entered the room, he had felt that something was wrong. Deciding to go back home,
he had turned his back and headed for the door.
Suddenly three or four men had come out from under the bed. They had weapons in their hands. One
of them saw him opening the door and shot him.
Seeing Jordan awake, Harry nodded at him. "Lucien would try to hurt us. We must do something before
he does that," he said. Jordan gravely nodded.
Though Jordan knew nothing about what had happened later, he knew that Harry was able to help him
leave Blood Sacrifice. Either he was forced to leave or something had gone wrong with the
negotiations.
Hearing Harry's words, Jordan guessed that he had been forced to leave.
"Why did they restrain my elder brother?" Lola curiously asked Harry while walking to him.
Harry held her hands, "For two reasons. First, they know that you have the old pocket watch. And
second, your elder brother is a military officer. Lucien's men are mainly criminals." So, Harry had done
this because of both the old pocket watch and the knowledge that Jordan had taken people to create
trouble in his ground.
Lola was a little confused. "And what about Joey?" She nodded and asked Harry.
Harry looked at her unhappily. "Why are you so curious about him?" he asked. She had dared to look
at Joey for more than three seconds just now!
She didn't know what to say. Looking at him innocently, she said, "You said that he was your assistant
but was powerful here. Won't you feel curious if you were me?"
He was still unhappy despite the fact that she was just curious. "Joey was the son of the boss of Soul
Killer. When I had visited Mando Bay before, he left with me. He wouldn't have come back if nothing
had happened to you," he explained.
So, in the final analysis, Joey had come back to Soul Killer for Lola. From now on, he had lost an
assistant.
"For me?" Lola pointed at her nose with surprise. The root cause for all the things that he had done
was Harry.
"Why had he decided to leave Mando Bay at that time?" Lola asked.
"It turns out that this is the identity of Joey." Lola thought. "And what had Harry done to make Joey
leave with him and become his assistant willingly?"
Harry reflected that Lola had too many questions about other men.
"At that time he was being chased by Blood Sacrifice. I had rescued him accidentally. Also, he didn't
want to stay in this evil place any longer." Remembering the moment at that time, Harry realized that
had it not been for that one shot, which stopped the bullet flying towards Joey's heart, he would have
been dead.
The room was silent after Harry told them the truth.
Breaking the silence, Jordan asked, "When can we set out?" He leaned against the head of the bed.
His head was totally clear now.
Harry thought for a moment and replied. "My people will come here tonight. We must leave
immediately. Blood Sacrifice would be continuously monitoring our movements. The moment we would
leave, the group would send someone to assassinate us. Thus, the need for my men. Alas, there would
be a long and hard battle tonight."
In spite of being prepared, Harry worried about the security of his wife. He must find a way to prevent
her from being involved in this battle.
Harry and Jordan went on to discuss the action that would take place later that night. The more Lola
heard, the more she became nervous and afraid.
"This means that many righteous international organizations will cooperate with Soul Killer to wipe out
Blood Sacrifice," Lola thought to herself while Harry and Jordan continued talking in hushed tones.
By the time the three finally fell asleep, it was around three in the morning.
The gambling house had closed and all the gamblers had gone home.
After sometime, Lola felt being picked up and carried out of her room by someone.
She then fell sleep again and knew nothing more.
She was roused by the sound of explosions around eight in the morning.
She immediately sat up straight and looked around her in confusion.
She noticed that she was neatly dressed in woolen clothes and was lying on a cashmere blanket in a
tent. Nobody else was around.
She unzipped the tent and went outside. More than ten bodyguards were patrolling within five meters of
the tent.
There were glorious glaciers around.
"Where is Harry? And where is my brother?" She wondered. She walked further and observed the
surroundings.
There was a forest on the left hand. Snow mountains and glorious glaciers stood on the right and
Mando Bay appeared to be in the front. She peered further and there seemed to be no end to the
glaciers.
Thick smoke rose from the Bay. What had happened?
She walked towards a bodyguard and asked him, "Why am I alone here?"
The bodyguard stowed his weapon and said, "Boss Si asked us to keep you safe. We know nothing
else."
She remembered the plan Harry had made last night and ran towards Mando Bay. But was
immediately stopped by a bodyguard.
"My Lady, Boss Si said that you are not allowed into Mando Bay."
Lola was very anxious. They were in such a dangerous place. She just couldn't relax until she knew
what was happening. "I just want to have a look," she said.
The bodyguard still stopped her from going. He bowed with respect and said, "My Lady, Boss Si also
said that if we allowed you to enter the Bay, all of us would be killed."
Lola was shocked. She looked at the several bodyguards around her. How could he blackmail her like
this!
Another bodyguard came to her and said in a low voice, "My Lady, please, I have a big family. Please
stay here." he said. Fine!
Lola said nothing. What could she say when several lives were in her hands?
She took the ship biscuit offered by a bodyguard and drank some water. Then she walked towards the
glaciers along the lines drawn by Harry.
She walked around for an hour. Presently, a bodyguard came to her and said, "My Lady, Boss Si has
asked you to wait at the biggest frozen lake."
Lola nodded and walked to the frozen lake. When had Harry planned all this? How did he know the
terrain here so well?
Seated on the blanket prepared by the bodyguards, Lola took out her mobile phone but found that
there was no signal.
"Oh! This is the end of the world. There is no one here. No wonder there are no mobile towers here,"
she thought and shook her head.
