The group managed to pass through the winter night as they headed north. The direction they were heading toward was away from civilization. Although a place where people gathered sounded like the safest option, Viktor believed that a place like that was instead more dangerous for him at the moment.

After walking a good amount of distance, they took a rest in a small farmhouse in the middle of nowhere.

'Good thing they decided to follow,' Viktor thought while looking at the two bodyguards.

It was always good to have the two bodyguards around. Not only were they good lookouts, but they could also take turns in doing so while Viktor and the other two could have a good rest.

While Viktor might still be able to manage without them somehow, he could not deny that having them here makes everything much easier.

The next morning, Viktor was itching to hurry and continue their journey. The further away they went from Andrei's group, the better.

However, when he was about to tell the others that it was time to start moving, he realized that Eva was in the middle of doing her morning routine.

When she noticed that Viktor was looking at her and the two made eye contact, Eva smiled.

"Hi dear, I hope you don't mind. It's been three days since I last did this."

At some point in time, she had already taken out a yoga mat and changed into her exercise clothing.

Viktor had always admired her for always sticking to her schedule down to the tee. Although he did not think that something like that was very important, he understood that there were certain routines necessary for some people, so he let her be. Though, he could not help but notice...

'That yoga mat must have filled like one-third of her bag,' Viktor thought to himself.

Turning away, he told Barry and the two bodyguards to stay and guard the place while he himself would go out to look for food.

"I want to go see if I can hunt something for lunch," .

Barry and the two bodyguards were about to join him, but Viktor told them to just wait here to protect Eva. They were certainly surprised by his decision to go alone. Shouldn't it be their job to do something like going out to look for food?

Even though they thought that way, the three agreed since Viktor was the leader of the group.

As he walked out of the farmhouse area through the snow, he whispered.

"It's finally just the two of us now, Djinn."

"I'm hungry, so find me some food!"

"I thought being the owner of the lamp makes me your master."
