Chapter 1091
Aidan and the rest were startled to hear Avery's words.
"Are you saying that Mr.Ivanov will take action against us?" Aidan asked incredulously, refusing to believe his ears.
Beside him, Vicador cast a grim look at the rest and declared, "Avery wasn't talking about Mr.Ivanov; he was referring to the tsar."
Avery directed his gaze to Vicador once again.
Avery had never considered Vicador to be an outstanding soldier in the Eastern War Zone as the latter had no merits to boast of.It was beyond Avery's imagination that Vicador was capable of seeing the big picture of Remdik so clearly.
Currently, the tsar and Ivanov were on the verge of falling out completely.
lvanov's family was the biggest martial artist family in the east of Remdik.
The only reason Ivanov was willing to pledge his loyalty and work for the tsar was for the sake of his family's safety.
lvanov's family had schemed for at least one hundred years to take down the tsar.
As one of The Untouchables, they didn't want to bow to someone else forever.
Avery wasn't sure how big Ivanov's family's trap was, but he was sure that it was connected to the previous captain of Team Alpha, Antoine.
Otherwise, the tsar wouldn't have instructed him to halt Aidan and let Jonathan get rid of Antoine without interference.
Antoine was important as his death also made Remdik lose the military resources for almost two hundred thousand people.
Even so, the tsar didn't change his mind about wanting Antoine dead.
The reason behind his decision was worth pondering.
Antoine had no idea that Ivanov wasn't his grandfather on his paternal side; lvanov was his grandfather on his maternal side.
Over two decades ago, lvanov's family went to great lengths to send their eldest daughter to the Collins family, where the head of external affairs was in a drunken stupor.
That night was how Antoine was born.
Antoine was a crucial leverage for lvanov's family to defeat the tsar, but before they could use him, Jonathan managed to take him out.
As the saying went, "Man proposes, God disposes."
Through this incident, it was pretty clear that the tsar and Ivanov would never get along in peace anymore.
In this battle, the tsar had a greater chance of victory, as he had control over all of Remdik.
However, lvanov's family could not sit idly by and wait to be defeated.
The occurrence of bloodshed in Remdik was inevitable.
Aidan was fleeing swiftly, and his eyes glinted with malice upon hearing Avery and Vicador's words.
He inquired, "So, you mean to say that whether we win or lose this battle, we are doomed to die?"
"Not necessarily;’ came Vicador's answer as he tore off his clothes to reveal his toned muscles.
He proclaimed, "Winning this battle means that both the tsar and Mr.Ivanov will have to answer to the Eastern War Zone soldiers if they want us dead.Regardless of their conflict, they need control over the country and the respect of their people.If we want to live, we can no longer run away.It will be too late to turn back once we cross River Onxy!"
With that, he stomped the ground, and an earth-shattering rumble rang out.He released all his energy and whirled around to charge toward Jonathan and the rest, who were several hundreds of meters behind them.
"Leave the chessboard to me.I'm not handling the others!"
Vicador commanded icily.
Midair, he summoned a strange dagger and stabbed it into his chest forcefully.
During a fast-paced battle, a cultivator's vitality would rapidly deplete.
After Vicador stabbed himself, a large burst of blood mist spurted out of his chest.
The blood mist enveloped Vicador like a huge cocoon and changed into meridians that looked like blood vessels.
