Chapter 196 Parting Ways

Jean had, of course, already thought about this.

In theory, staying with Ludwig should’ve been the safest option.

But the problem was, she had no idea who those people lurking in the shadows really were, how strong they might be, or what their actual target was-

Was it her? Ludwig? Or both of them?

If they were after Ludwig, then she believed Ludwig alone had a much higher chance of escaping. Her presence would only drag him down.

And if they were after her….

She trusted Ludwig would find a way to save her.

Either way, sticking together increased the risk that they’d both get caught. Splitting up might actually confuse whoever was following them.

“You don’t have to worry,” Jean sighed softly, her expression firm. “Splitting up is the only way to divide the risk. Let’s also take off our disguises before we leave

Ludwig understood exactly what she meant.

If someone really was watching them, the two of them–dressed head to toe in black and covered up- would be easy to spot.

If they removed the masks, exposed their faces, maybe even took off the outer layers and blended in with the crowd like ordinary tourists, it might be enough to throw people off…

“But do we really have to separate?” Ludwig still looked concerned.

Jean gave him a half–smile, voice light. “What are you so worried about? We can still use the comm badge to talk… Even if something does happen, I trust you’ll come save me.”

Ludwig clearly didn’t like the plan, but in the end, he gave in.

They each went into their respective restrooms to take off the disguises.

Inside a stall, Jean locked the door behind her.

She glanced around automatically. The strange, suffocating pressure from earlier was gone.

Only then did she start to move.

First came the hat.

Then the black face mask.

She pulled off the black hoodie and pants, revealing a simple white t–shirt and cropped pants underneath -totally ordinary, nothing attention–grabbing.
