Chapter 956 Tactics
Sophie searched through the system thoroughly, leaving not a single stone unturned. Much to her dismay. there was still no trace of Felix.
“There’s nothing.”
Sophie shook her head, skeptical of the unfruitful search.
Since Arthur had informed them that Felix was there, she was certain that Felix had to be there.
However, they had not been successful in their attempts in finding Felix. Where could they have hidden him?
“From the looks of it, we’ll have to kidnap someone for an interrogation,” Tristan stated. It seemed to be their only option at that moment.
“Agreed. The patrolling troops should be here soon. Let’s grab one of them to ask. There’s one problem, though. There are five people in one troop, so it’ll be difficult to remain under the radar if we kidnap five people at once.”
“Let’s just kill the other four!” Tristan suggested. “Otherwise, it’ll be troublesome if someone were to find
out.”
“All right.” Sophie did not object. That was the most effective method to get things done. Any other way might lead to unnecessary complications.
“Let’s head over there. Sophie pointed at a corner a few meters away. “I’ve already disconnected the surveillance cameras there, and there aren’t any sentinels. Plus, it’s a blind spot. That’ll make it easier for us to attack.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Tristan checked his surroundings before moving into position. The two of them moved quickly but stealthily to the spot Sophie had suggested.
Hiding behind a bush, they waited for the next patrol troop to arrive.
Fandar had always been known for its hot climate. The temperature that day was as high as forty degrees Celsius, which was unfortunate for Sophie. She had never liked the heat.
Not only did they have to move fast, but they had to hide against numerous skilled fighters. It was no surprise that they were drenched in their sweat.
“Once we find Felix, we’re telling him that he owes us a good meal,” Tristan grumbled. The heat was unforgiving, but for Felix’s sake, they pressed on.
“Mm-hmm.” Sophie wiped a handful of sweat away from her face. She despised being covered in sweat, but she did not have much choice at the moment.
“They should be here in around two minutes.” Fishing a handgun out of her pocket, Sophie then attached a silencer to the muzzle.
“There shouldn’t be any problem with this silencer, right?” The silencer belonged to Tristan. Sophie had
yet to use it. Hence, she was unsure about the quality of the equipment.
Nope.
The silencer had been specially modified for improvements. Just then, a shootout seemed to have broken out outside the military base, which conveniently diverted the attention of their enemies.
The two of them had found a perfect hiding spot. Soon, a patrol troop consisting of five people showed up, as they had predicted.
“I’ll take three: you take two. Remember, I’ll keep one of them alive,” Tristan instructed.
Sophie bobbed her head in understanding.
As he fell silent, Tristan raised his hand and began to signal. Three, two, one!
In reality, Sophie had not seen his signal. Nonetheless, both of them fired at the exact same time.
Not only so, but all of their shots went straight through the skulls of the guards. As discussed, Tristan left one of the men alive. With Sophie protecting his back. Tristan dragged the remaining guard to a dark
corner.
“Who are you? What do you want?” the guard who was held captive barked at them in panic. “If Kaarle finds out that you guys dare to break and enter, he’ll never let you off the hook!”
Pulling out a dagger, Sophie pointed the sharp tip at the man’s chest, right above his heart.
“You are to answer whatever I ask you. Don’t beat around the bush. I don’t like too much noise,” Sophie stated icily. “Do you hear me?”
