-Vol 4: To The North Pole!-
-Arrival of Elites-
Around 2 PM, the various outposts belonging to different powers around the ice wall suddenly became boisterous. One after another, various armoured helicopters landed on the landing zone of multiple tents. Seeing this everyone went into a flurry as they didn’t know who came in that copters.
The fact revealed by Vera wasn’t made public by the powers of the world, it was done not only to keep others from panicking but also for preventing the probable moles from informing the changes to those people. As such even the probable powerhouses send by them were ordered to not expose their identity in public. They were to remain low-key until they enter the cold region. It was the area beyond that ice wall that’s people called the Cold Region. Except for Vera and the head of four camps, nobody was aware of this arrangement.
At this time an armoured helicopter landed in the parking zone of DCB. From within came two people, one man and one woman. The woman was in the front holding a black zipped bag as big as her height. She had short light blond hair and a black clip in the shape of a moon to the right. She had green eyes that shined like emeralds in the sun, while her button-shaped nose looked adorable. Her lips were painted in a light red colour. Finally, she had a beauty mark below her lip towards left. She was approximately 174 cm in height and a graceful slim figure. Although she looked like a college girl, her temperament was anything but that.
Behind her was a burly brown-skinned man whose height surpassed that of the woman. He was burly like a bear with bulging muscles visible through his muscle shirt. Behind him was a zipped bag whose height was same as his, like the woman. But the bag was flat as if he was carrying a wooden slab in it. His face was square shaped, with black eyes and no eyebrows, he looked extremely ferocious. He didn’t have hair, and his bald head was covered with black tribal tattoos. Currently, there was a black sunglass hanging off his neck. His every step created deep footsteps in the snow.
After getting off the helicopter, these two people made a beeline towards the tent, escorted by a lieutenant of the military. After that, they were lead to the main office room, where they would meet with the branch leader in the duty of this temporary branch. The man and woman pair followed the lieutenant and finally reached their destination. After that the lieutenant bowed to them and scurried off from there, as an ordinary man, he wasn’t allowed to stay there any longer.
The man and woman pair then entered the tent that was the office. Although they were high ranked officials, they still had to meet the person under whose jurisdiction was this place, besides they needed to be familiar with everything here.
“Mr and Mrs Adams, I Nicholei welcome to Temporary North Regiment. I hope you had a pleasant journey.” The branch leader, an old man from Russian with grey hair smiled while welcomed them.
“Cut the crap old man, we don’t have time for that. just get to business first.” The man rudely stopped the old man and growled like a bear. The woman next to him, after hearing the rude tone of the man, she frowned and nudged him with her elbows.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“Can you please a little polite?” she politely requested to the man.
“We don’t have enough time. If the matter is what we are informed, we can't delay this any longer. We must eliminate those freaks as soon as possible.” The man argued, but he didn’t as rude as before.
“Ah! I am sorry Mr Nicholei, my husband is a bit short tempered. But he had a point, we can’t waste time. let’s go down to business as soon as possible.” The woman smiled while apologizing to the old man named Nicholei.
“Haha. No problem. I liked Mr Adams’ no-nonsense attitude. And you are right, we shouldn’t waste any more time.” the old man waved off his hand and then turned around to a map with many blue and red marks pointing towards special places.
“You see these marks on this maps? These are the likely places these supposed cloaked individuals are active. The blue marks are the places where most of the people disappeared and recorded by our tracking devices.” Old man Nicholei explained as he pointed towards the blue marks on the map.
“What about the red ones?” the lady asked curiously.
“Actually, a Divison Leader under me had someone scout that place and marked those places as the most accurate locations where we could find these cloaked individuals. Although I didn’t believe that it was wholly accurate, I had still placed as a reference, after all, as you can see, some of those red marks coincide with blue dots.” Old Nicholei explained as he looked meaningfully towards the two.
Actually, after having a meeting with Kenshin, Vera had already given the completely marked map made by Kenshin to the Branch Leader. Although the branch leader didn’t know from where she got this detailed map, he still accepted the intelligence and recorded her contribution.
“I see. So that’s how it is. Can I know the name of the Divison Leader who made this contribution?” the woman was pleased and hence asked the name of the one who made this contribution.
“Its Orlov Vera from Ryazan Town. She was called here to supervise a team for the search operation.”
The moment the couple heard her name, their eyes widened as if they couldn’t believe it.
“Is it this woman?” the lady at that moment fished out her phone and showed the image of a girl looked several years younger than the current Vera.
Seeing the image of the girl, Nicholai's eyes widened as a light flashed on them as if he understood something. Seeing the picture of a young woman at the hands of this famous couple, Nicholei, although couldn’t confirm their relationship, had some suspicions.
“Hmm! Officer Vera look a few years older than this girl in the photo. Who is she?” Nicholei asked with narrowed eyes.
“Someone we knew once.” The man answered this time as his eyes flickered towards the woman, his wife, standing in front of her.
“Where is she right now?” the woman, after sometime regained her composure and asked earnestly, it seemed as is she couldn’t wait to see her.
“Well…”

Like what happened in the DCB’s main tent, similar scenes were going on three different tents at this moment. There are eight elites were dispatched by the four major powers on this side. These elites were all beyond level 150 in strength. Although others didn’t have Kenshin’s detailed map, they still had their own way to search for these cloaked people if they exist.
Although everyone’s sceptical about this supposed organization, nobody could ignore the fact that a Divison Leader cader officer was attacked and defeated instantly. This indicated that there were indeed some shady activities going on in the north.
After the great catastrophe hundred years ago, humanity no longer wanted to take chances in anything. Even to kill a rat, they were ready to dispatch a tiger.
That’s the conviction humanity gained after the catastrophe.
