Mist turned back and gestured for Rabbani to get out of the way and stop causing trouble.
Rabbani could only retreat, but Song Heping quickly grabbed him, shook his head fiercely, and then gave Mist a stern look.
Mist immediately understood that letting Rabbani back away at that moment could potentially cause noise, which might lead to an uncontrollable situation.
Song Heping signaled Rabbani to wait in place and then gave Mist a meaningful glance, pointing ahead.
Truth be told, although they weren't trained in the same unit, their tactical awareness was remarkably alike.
Mist nodded immediately, indicating he understood.
Ahead was a bend.
The two of them tiptoed to the corner, knives drawn, waiting.
The sound of chatting was getting closer.
It soon reached them.
Just as the first silhouette appeared in front of them, Song Heping struck first, holding the knife handle backhand, blade outward, charging forward in a lunge while the blade hissed across the opponent's neck.
