Aurora's combat style had always been about swift victories. Facing enemies, she would unleash her ice abilities, freezing opponents into ice sculptures, and the battle would be over.
This approach maximized Aurora's strengths and bypassed her weakness of insufficient stamina.
If he were facing an ordinary person, Langge might not have needed to exert much effort. He could have directly launched a mental attack and controlled the opponent with his mental power.
However, against Aurora, he dared not do so. He knew very well that he couldn't give Aurora any chance to retaliate. Even a second or two might be enough for her to freeze him into an ice sculpture with her terrifying cold energy before he could fully control her.
Therefore, he directly launched his offense, forcing Aurora to fight defensively and expend all her energy to defend against his attacks.
In this way, once her abilities were depleted or she was injured, Langge could calmly proceed to control Aurora!
Suddenly, Langge sensed something was wrong. Under the sustained, prolonged assault, Aurora's ice shell had become increasingly thin, allowing him to see her face through the fragile barrier.
Just as Aurora's defense was about to be shattered, Langge felt a twitch in his eyelids, sensing that something was amiss.
Although Aurora's ice shell was thinning, Langge felt a brewing energy, a sense of impending crisis!
Without time to ponder, Langge abandoned his control of the magnetic storm and turned to rush towards the door. His body lunged forward, smashing through the thick oak door!
Almost simultaneously, a burst of blue light erupted from Aurora, engulfing the entire room!
In an instant, all the furnishings in the room were covered in frost. The two bodyguards standing at the door were also caught in the blue light and instantly frozen into ice sculptures.
As for Langge, after charging out the door, he immediately rolled to the side. The blue light grazed his body, passing only a few centimeters away, allowing him to narrowly escape!
This sudden turn of events nearly scared Langge senseless. He hadn't expected Aurora to possess such a formidable ability!
In fact, although Aurora's techniques were all guided by Mario Kuiet, Aurora herself had been continuously improving.
What had just happened was Aurora's ultimate move, a suicidal tactic where she unleashed almost all her abilities at once.
This surge of extreme cold was incredibly terrifying, with temperatures dropping to over minus 200 degrees Celsius, nearing absolute zero!
Anyone caught in its path would be instantly frozen into an ice sculpture!
Aurora had gone all out, willing to be injured in order to take her opponent down with her.
However, she hadn't anticipated how cunning Langge was, his keen sense of danger allowing him to escape unscathed!
Seeing his two guards frozen into ice sculptures beside him, Langge broke out in a cold sweat.
Although Mario Kuiet's body was powerful, it was still difficult to withstand the opponent's attacks.
Gathering his courage, Langge poked his head out from the doorway and surveyed the room, which now resembled a crystal chamber, with all objects covered in ice crystals.
The large floor-to-ceiling window in the study was gone, and so was Aurora. It was clear that she had escaped through the window.
At this moment, other guards from the castle rushed over.
"Mr. Kuiet, what happened!"
"It's Aurora! Aurora was incited by someone and tried to kill me!"
"What?"
The guards who arrived looked incredulous. They were all well aware of the father-daughter relationship between Mario Kuiet and Aurora.
Now, the Mario Kuiet before them claimed that Aurora had attempted to assassinate him, a notion the guards found truly hard to believe.
Not all the guards were controlled by Langge; only his trusted inner circle. After all, Langge had a limited capacity for control.
"Mr. Kuiet, isn't there some misunderstanding here..."
"There is no misunderstanding! I command you to capture Aurora!"
"But Miss's strength is immense. If we forcibly try to capture her, we might injure her," the leading guard expressed with a troubled look.
"It's fine. As long as she's not killed, injuring her is acceptable!
Also, you must find Aurora's accomplices and discover who incited her from behind. If you find any, kill them without mercy!"
"Yes, Mr. Kuiet!"
...
Aurora was now very weak, her head swimming and her steps unsteady, clearly a result of overexerting her abilities.
Fortunately, Aurora was not a helpless woman in her daily life. On the contrary, she dedicated a significant amount of time to physical training, practicing martial arts like karate and judo.
The outburst of her abilities earlier had caused the window glass to shatter. Aurora jumped out through the window and clung to the castle's drainpipe, finally reaching the ground.
Then, without looking back, Aurora ran towards the Chinese delegation's encampment.
She knew that only Ling Tian now had the ability and willingness to help her!
However, what Aurora didn't know was that the Chinese delegation's encampment was already deserted.
The service staff and guards who were specifically serving the Chinese team were locked in a room, sleeping soundly.
These people had all succumbed to the soporific incense released by Ling Tian, losing consciousness in a daze.
Of course, Ling Tian had not mistreated them. He had stuffed their pockets and clothes with their unspent Icefire currency as compensation.
The fifteen members of the Chinese delegation had already proceeded to the beach according to their planned route.
Along the way, anyone who saw members of the Chinese team or tried to track them was met with a thunderous response. Even the two old fellows, Zhuge Tianji and Xuanyuan Jie, had taken action!
In short, before they left the island, they would not allow anyone to transmit any information.
These dozen or so people ran at full speed, covering a distance that normally took over half an hour in just 20 minutes to reach the beach.
After rounding a large reef, they suddenly discovered a white yacht anchored on the sea about fifty meters behind the cliff.
The yacht was about 20 meters long and 3.5 meters wide, with two decks. The stern of the yacht was equipped with two main engines and two smaller electric motors!
