Arctic Nations
Seven figures slowly emerged from inside a massive iceberg.
"Ugh... It's freezing! What rotten luck—we got teleported to the Arctic. Are you all right?"
Following behind Lord Mask were six members of the Masked Thirteen under his command—Abu, Lovecraft, Kim Tae-hyun, Fatty Gru, Dong Dong, and Arag.
"The Arctic! This was where Father used to live... Sadly, Father is already dead! Waaah!"
Staring at the familiar snowy landscape, Gru's hollow eye sockets overflowed with bloody tears. He plopped down at the cave entrance and wailed, utterly heartbroken.

What Abu truly wanted to ask was why Yu Jing wasn't with them.
"I've already violated the rules by bringing six of you. Taking any more would be hard to justify.
"The main reason is that the squad shouldn't be too large. Besides, the other members of the Masked Thirteen either aren't qualified to join us or have already exceeded the scope of my control... In short, the six of you must show your abilities during the five-continent stage of World Cinema... In the end, only two of you will be able to follow me to the Gaia Continent."
"Understood."

Lord Mask transmitted his voice to Lovecraft
