Lin Chen and his team of four quietly infiltrated the forest, their figures moving like shadows in the jungle. In just a few swift steps, they were already beside the alert mercenaries.
The mercenaries had not noticed the four at all. At that moment, Lan Xingyue made a throat-slitting gesture.
The four moved almost simultaneously, Lin Chen suddenly appearing behind one of the mercenaries.
Before the mercenary could react, Lin Chen covered his mouth with one hand while his dagger sliced cleanly, blood spraying everywhere as the mercenary collapsed to the ground.
Another mercenary noticed his fallen comrade and was just about to respond when Lin Chen's dagger flew out, directly piercing the mercenary's heart.
Lin Chen quickly rushed to the mercenary's body, carefully holding him to gently lay him down on the ground.
In just a matter of seconds, Lin Chen had silently killed two mercenaries.
