Chapter 273 - 25: Father and Son
"This matter is extremely important! Extremely important! Extremely important! Extremely important!" Jones repeatedly emphasized to Dora: "If things go wrong, I’m done for! Everything I’ve done might be in vain! I’ll be confined at home in the future! Understand? No matter what, you must complete it! No matter what!"
"Lord Jones! Dora understands!"
As soon as it got dark, Dora set off. In fact, she had already set off before it got dark because a snowstorm had started.
The weather on the Kolin Peninsula is just that unpredictable, but it’s also a good thing.
The snowstorm and the polar night where the Jones family castle is located mean that Dora can set off more than an hour earlier.
In crucial times, this could be a life-saving hour.
The snow itself isn’t the main problem; it’s the wind that’s truly lethal for a bat. Dora had to desperately flap her wings and struggle in the blizzard. Finally, she spotted a faint light on the distant horizon. This meant the polar night area and the blizzard’s range were ending, and she had to wait until dark to act.
So, Dora, in her bat form, lay on the snow waiting. From time to time, large snowflakes fell from the sky, directly burying her with a "plop." She would always struggle out of the snow pile and continue shivering as she waited.

"Jones, are you ready?" Count Dracula knocked heavily on Jones’s door, standing next to him were Susan and Countess Dracula.
