Kapitel 281: Bait

'They can't have discovered me, right?' Shi Tian thought to himself.

Carefully, Shi Tian adjusted his position slightly, ensuring he remained concealed in the tall grasses while still having a clear line of sight on the approaching soldiers.

His fingers tightened around the grip of his pistol, ready to act at a moment's notice. 

Theobold's elite soldiers were renowned for their discipline and combat prowess. Any sudden move from them could spell danger.

As he watched, the soldier who had signaled the halt seemed to be engaged in silent communication with another soldier beside him. It was as if they were assessing the situation, deciding on their next course of action.

Shi Tian's mind raced. He had to remain patient, not giving away his position prematurely.
