Later, Evelina and her brother’s subordinates reached a clearing where a row of bulletproof, military-grade off-road vehicles were parked. Regular luxury cars were inconvenient in a remote place like this where most of the roads were unpaved.
Her big brother, Nikolai Vetrov, was already there speaking with his other subordinates.
By just a glance, anyone could tell that he was the leader. He radiated power and danger. His cold expression betrayed no emotions to his own subordinates.
He had green eyes like her, but his were darker and more of an olive colour, while hers were like bright emeralds. Sometimes, his eyes would become so dark that they appeared black, especially when he was in a deadly, predatory mode. Unlike her blonde locks, he had black hair. These dark features made it easier for him to blend into the shadows.
Except for their green eyes which differed in shade, the siblings didn’t resemble each other at all.
Evelina Vetrova looked like an angel with the shining halo of heavenly radiance while Nikolai Vetrov looked like a demon prince whose inner darkness was fathomless.
Nevertheless, as soon as her big brother saw her, his emotionless eyes lit up and filled with gentleness in an instant. Evelina ran faster and then threw herself at him. He caught her easily as if she weighed nothing.
"Ready?"
She nodded, almost trembling with excitement.
"Alright. Let’s head to America."

The Vetrovs had their own fleet of private aircraft to suit their various needs. At the moment, the siblings used one of Nikolai’s own private jets.
He explained to Evelina that it was a new one and that he was careful not to let their parents know about it. Unlike his straightforward sister who had no qualms revealing her thoughts—which often got her into trouble with their mother—Nikolai was a secretive person. Even Evelina didn’t know the extent of all his secrets.
As usual, they used passports with fake identities. The Vetrovs were the most wanted figures in the world. They couldn’t just openly use their real identities to travel everywhere. As an added precaution, they planted their own people in different airports from all over the world so that they could bypass regular customs screening.
Nikolai and Evelina arrived in Boston, Massachusetts early morning. They were driven to a mansion Nikolai rented beforehand. If he was travelling alone, he would’ve stayed in a hotel but since he brought his beloved sister along this time, he decided that it would be safer to stay in a private property instead.
After eating breakfast ordered from a popular Chinese restaurant, Lu Zihao left the mansion in a hurry to inspect the problem he came to resolve. He left a team of his subordinates to protect Evelina. She was allowed roam outside as long as she stayed with the bodyguards Nikolai assigned for her.
She had been to the U.S. a handful of times before but never to Boston yet. This was her first time. She was excited to explore the city and enjoy the sights.
Her bodyguards wore regular, civilian clothes so as not to attract attention. Only two of them followed beside her while the rest monitored her from a distance. However, they would arrive by her side in a flash if she ever fell in danger.
They drove her to the nearest commercial area filled with shops, restaurants and other tourist attractions. She wasn’t really interested in shopping, so she mostly tried foods that she hadn’t tasted before.
Wearing a long, flowing, floral dress, she attracted people’s attention of all ages and genders whenever she passed by.
"Wow! That babe looks hot!"
"Is she a model?"
