After meeting with Grand Ivan, Gao Yang caught a flight to Europe early the next morning.
First to France, then to Ukraine, more than forty hours of flying. Although Gao Yang was young and strong, he felt extremely exhausted. Even though he always flew first class on commercial flights, long-haul trips like this were truly tiring, and a comfortable environment didn't change that.
When he landed in Kiev, it was still morning. Gao Yang was slightly surprised to see that Nikolai was the one driving to pick him up.
Once in the car, Gao Yang asked in astonishment, "Nikolai, shouldn't you be in Nikolayev now?"
