Chapter 741: Hidden Observer (2/2)

”Where are your friends?”

”They left to do something for me.”

”I don't think this is a good time for that.”

”They can save themselves.”

Raunak just shrugged his shoulders and left the place along with a few boxes of coconut biscuits.

He first contacted Ragad and sent him a couple of biscuits but there is no response from him and the same thing happened with Ananya.

There is no response. He can understand this with Ananya because the lack of response is due to the lack of funds.

But Ragad has no excuse to do so. Raunak is a bit anxious when he noticed the change in the attitude of Ragad.

He couldn't help but think about that one person that could have possibly influenced faction 1 to go against him. Even though there is a possibility he didn't want to think worse of him and decided to ask someone that can verify it.

He hired a courier guy to send a box of biscuits and a wooden token with the information back to his mentor and waited for a reply. He really didn't want to ask his mentor for any help, but he is the only one who has enough connections to change anything in this deadlock.

Soon the night came and Sam is still in the camp. He is grilling the fish on the fire. The smell is spreading all over and some beasts in the forest are disturbed by it, but he didn't seem to care.

He just behaved as if he is in his own backyard.

After cooking the fish, he sat down and ate as he enjoyed the wine and the cold breeze. He is really enjoying the atmosphere of this place.

If only the people watching him from the dark that is standing not too far away, things would have been better and Sam would have let the beasts out to have an even pleasant time. Particularly the panthers. They didn't come out in a long while.

While Sam is eating, a group of people that didn't know that Sam already noticed their presence is trying to close the distance as stealthily as possible.

They are all Half-elves and all of them have a spear in their hands. Their movements, actions, and even the way they took breath are all same.

They all wore black clothes that are emitting a dark veil-like aura masking their presence. If it was anyone else they would have really gotten off unnoticed.

But the current situation is a bit different. Sam had energy vision for quite a while and this stealth is not good enough to fool that.

So, what the group doesn't know is that they are moving forward for their inevitable doom.

Sam didn't even bother to make a move directly and just activated the traps with a mere thought. He made some traps that could be masked by any form of scanning and detection. A person has to be at least Transcendent late-stage and also skilled in detection to find anything.

So, when the traps are activated, half of the group was already soaked in the biofuel.

Sam stood up from his makeshift dining table and took out his bow.

This action and the traps made the mercenary team anxious and they immediately made their move.

They are just too confident in their stealth that they believed that they are not the easy targets they are.

Sam shot one arrow after another that just brushed past the targets. Which increased their confidence in their abilities.

But if they saw the smirk on Sam's face, they would have thought otherwise. Sam deliberately made the arrows miss so that he can let their guards down.

He nocked another arrow and this time it was surrounded by a layer of flames and the arrow also caught extremely high temperature.

So when the arrow grazed past the half-elf, the result is not the same as before. The target started burning in orange flames in the middle of the forest.

The whole group finally noticed their trouble, but it was already too late. They are too near to Sam and too clear as targets, the next thing that happened in the arrows burning the team that was soaked in the biofuel.

As for the remaining, they wanted to escape in the fear of the fate of being burned alive. Sam wanted to make them experience this. But he is not going to let them get away.

And the reason for this is not his satanic pleasures, rather another message to someone else that is watching him from another corner.
