The man's voice sounded a little stifled. It appeared as though he did not understand Russian very well or that the pronunciation itself was not very clear. He hesitated when identifying the name. "Ivan, Naveki, Tonya, wait no right? Let me think about it. It looks like it's Ivanovich…"

Lolander interrupted the man and said in a strange tone, "Are you sure you didn't mistranslate? That's impossible! You must have read it wrong!"

"What did I just hear?" Chloe seemed unable to recover from the shock.
