Pursuing Her (Sophie and Tristan)

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.
