"Oh no!" After a brief sprint, the complexion Eric's subordinatw changed abruptly. "Lieutenant General Johnson, there's a roadblock ahead. They're ready to intercept us!"

"Change the route!" Eric didn't hesitate.

In moments like these, time was of the essence. A delay of a few seconds could easily result in an interception by the Catellonian authorities and forces.

Obviously, that transcendent shadow warrior held terrifying influence within Catellon, capable of mobilizing such forces.

Eric dialed Sylvia's number, relieved to hear that they had already set sail. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He had prepared for the worst.

"Listen up!" He addressed his subordinate, "Smith has completely lost his combat capabilities. If we can't shake them off later, I'll create an opportunity. You take Smith and head out to the sea. Make sure to get him onto our warship!"

The subordinate knew just how important Smith was. He simply nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation.
