The Moscow Canal is 502 kiloters long, with about 80 kiloters running through the whole of Moscow. The river is generally 200 ters wide, up to a kiloter at its widest, with beautiful scenery along the way, and it’s also an important water source for the city of Moscow.
At the sa ti, there are quite a few famous attractions along the Moscow Canal, such as the Kremlin, the Monunt to Peter the Great, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, and the Novodevichy Convent!
And in this heavy-snow winter season, the Moscow Canal is still very lively, with quite a few ships on the water.
However, because it’s winter, the weather is rather cold, and everything is frozen over, most of the ships on the river are icebreakers!
People can sit on the boat, eat the delicacies prepared by the chefs, eating and drinking while watching the scenery along the banks. anwhile, because the boats are all fully enclosed, the cabin is very warm, and you can’t feel a trace of cold.
The place Ye Xunhuan and Olivia were heading for was precisely the Moscow Canal.
The other side had sent Ye Xunhuan a text, telling him to co to the Moscow Canal, and that soone would co to pick him up!
Since he didn’t know who he was supposed to et, after Ye Xunhuan and Olivia arrived at the canal, they began looking around and then waited patiently.
At the very mont Ye Xunhuan and Olivia had just arrived at the Moscow Canal, a middle‑aged man on an icebreaker nad Arctic had already spotted them through the binoculars in his hand.
When he saw Ye Xunhuan and Olivia, a thick smile imdiately spread across the corner of the man’s lips.
He snapped his fingers right after that.
"Snap!"
As soon as the sound fell, a man in a black cotton coat imdiately walked over.
"Go, bring the Marshal and Blood Phoenix over."
"Yes, sir!"
The next mont, the man put away the binoculars and then walked into the cabin.
The cabin was very spacious and also very luxurious, like a restaurant; of course, you could also call it a hotel, because there were quite a few rooms inside the cabin for people to live in.
Although the space was large, there were few people, making it seem very quiet.
After entering the cabin, the man went straight into one of the guest rooms.
Inside the room, Qiu Ruoxi was sitting on the sofa, and on the table in front of her were all kinds of delicacies and fresh fruit, along with red wine!
But Qiu Ruoxi had no appetite at all; she hadn’t touched anything.
When Qiu Ruoxi saw the man walk in from outside, she imdiately gave a cold snort, stared at him fixedly, and said in an icy tone, "What exactly do you want?"
"Miss Qiu, this won’t do. Man is iron, food is steel—skip a al and you’ll be starving. If you go on like this, people will feel sorry for you."
This blond, blue‑eyed man seed very familiar with Huaxia; not only did he speak standard Huaxia, even Huaxia proverbs rolled off his tongue with ease!
"If the Marshal sees you like this, he’ll think I’ve been abusing you. That wouldn’t be good!" The man wore a smile on his face, looking very mild and gentle.
"Then let go. Otherwise Xunhuan will never let you off!" Qiu Ruoxi said coldly.
"Miss Qiu, your husband is indeed soone to be feared, but not enough to scare . And if I were really that afraid of him, I wouldn’t have ’invited’ you over in the first place."
As he spoke, the man sat down across from Qiu Ruoxi, then picked up the red wine on the table, poured himself a glass, and held it in his hand, gently swirling it.
As the glass moved in his hand, the red wine inside slowly ford a small vortex.
"You call this an invitation?"
"Although the way I invited you wasn’t exactly friendly, I haven’t really made things hard for you, have I?"
The man slowly raised his glass and took a light sip of that blood‑red wine.
As soon as the wine hit his mouth, an intoxicated look spread across his face.
"You’re restricting my freedom. That doesn’t count as making things hard?"
"Sotis necessary asures have to be taken when necessary," the man said blandly. "And if you were willing to cooperate, would I be restricting you?"
"Alright, enough talk. Your husband is already here."
After draining the wine in his glass in one go, the man slowly stood up, looked at Qiu Ruoxi, and said, "Once I’ve achieved my goal, you’ll be free."
With that, he lifted his feet and headed outside.
Seeing this, Qiu Ruoxi moved as if to follow him out, but the man suddenly turned his head to look at her. "Don’t follow. When it’s ti for you two to et, I’ll have soone bring you out. If you tag along now, the only one who’ll suffer for it in the end is you."
"You..."
"Don’t try to provoke . There’s nothing in it for you." The man cut Qiu Ruoxi off directly, then left.
Although Qiu Ruoxi wanted to follow, when she thought of the two people who had been watching her these past two days, she had no choice but to stop.
After the man left the room, he imdiately headed for the lounge area in the cabin and sat down in a chair.
Not long after he had sat down, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia were brought in.
When the man saw Ye Xunhuan and Olivia, a strong yet gentlemanly smile instantly appeared on his face. "Marshal, Blood Phoenix, please sit."
Ye Xunhuan didn’t sit down right away; instead, he sized the man up from head to toe.
The man wore a dark‑blue trench coat with a quilted shirt underneath. His golden hair was combed ticulously, giving off a very capable, sharp impression. And with the expensive watch on his wrist, he looked very much like a sowhat successful businessman.
While Ye Xunhuan was sizing this man up, Olivia was doing the sa.
Although Olivia knew a lot of people, she could be sure she had never seen this man before and definitely did not know him.
After giving the man a few glances, Ye Xunhuan slowly sat down, and Olivia sat down as well.
Seeing this, the man snapped his fingers, and a man dressed as a waiter ca over with a bottle of red wine on a tray.
"Where’s my wife?" Ye Xunhuan asked directly.
When the waiter ca over, he imdiately opened the wine and poured three glasses, then tactfully withdrew.
The man looked at Ye Xunhuan with a full smile on his face. "Marshal, may I introduce myself?"
"Go ahead."
Now that he was here, Ye Xunhuan wasn’t afraid of whatever tricks the other side might play. Blessing or curse, you can’t dodge what’s coming.
At the sa ti, he was indeed curious who this man actually was.
"My na is Myron Tzimitzhi." The man smiled brightly, giving off a harmless‑to‑humans‑and‑animals feel.
