The boy immediately got into the car.

Watching the vehicle drive away, Snowfinch quickly followed the car Alfred had entered.

While driving, Snowfinch ordered, “Track this car’s license plate. Help me cut it off on the road.”

The person on the other end hesitated. “Are you certain? Even if he is Wendy’s child, what if the kid is innocent?”

Snowfinch’s smile turned icy at once. “Innocent? That woman killed so many of my comrades. Doesn’t she deserve death?”

The other side went silent.

Strictly speaking…

They had also killed many of her companions over the years.

The conflict between both sides had long turned into an irreconcilable mess.

But the assassin Wendy was different.

Her strength defied normal logic. So many had surrounded her and tried to eliminate her, yet she had escaped uninjured every time.

They didn’t dare confront her directly. So if that boy truly had ties to her…

Targeting her child might actually yield results.

“Right. There is also a girl. She got into another vehicle. Send people to follow her and block her car as well.

“After I deal with this boy, I will handle the girl.”

Snowfinch ended the call. Thinking about Arrabella’s frustrated expression at the studio, he intended to settle that matter first as a form of repayment to his young disciple. Afterward, he would take care of the girl.

Inside the car, Alfred observed the vehicle closely tailing them.

The difficulty with an organization like Asterio was its decentralized structure.

Any passerby could potentially be one of its members.

Alfred measured the gap between the two vehicles and understood he couldn’t shake them off.

And they also wouldn’t let him escape easily.

Good.

He hadn’t intended to run anyway.

If he escaped, that man would immediately turn back and target Maya instead.

That outcome was unacceptable.

Alfred told the driver to accelerate fully. He was very familiar with this region.

Finished

The Silent Archive had once conducted a mission nearby last year. To prepare evacuation routes, Alfred had studied this industrial zone’s layout repeatedly more than ten times.

The car came to a stop. Alfred stepped out, slipped through a broken gap in the iron fence of an abandoned chemical facility, and bent low as he passed through a workshop door marked with a warning sign: “Dangerous Structure. Do Not Enter.”

Within moments, the pursuers arrived behind him.

Footsteps followed him inside.

“Assassin.” The voice echoed from deep within the empty workshop. “Who is your family? What was your mother’s code name?”

Alfred didn’t respond.

He concealed himself in the shadow under a control console.

Through the faint light coming from a shattered skylight, he identified the man’s outline.

Dark jacket. Lean frame.

“I assume Wendy is your mother,” Snowfinch said as he stopped beside a reactor unit. His gaze precisely locked onto the control console, and a faint smile appeared. “You are quite good at escaping. I wonder if your sister can run as well.

‘After I kill you, she will be next.”

Alfred remained motionless, his breathing steady.

He stepped back once.

Behind him was the rear exit of the workshop. Above, two large liquid nitrogen tanks stood on the upper level.

Snowfinch’s acceleration was faster than Alfred had expected. The distance closed in under two seconds.

Alfred turned and ran, pushing open the rear door and sprinting up the metal stairs three steps at a time.

Gripping the railing, he pulled himself upward, vaulted over it, and leapt from the outer side of the stairs onto the third–floor platform.

The third floor was a storage area filled with abandoned oil drums. Faded hazard labels still remained on them.

Tetrahydrofuran. Flammable. Explosive.

Alfred crouched behind the barrels.

Snowfinch reached the third floor shortly after.
