Just when Kali and Cassy were starting their fight, Aster was keeping himself hidden behind a large tree, trying to keep his breathing in control while listening to the sounds around him.
"Fucking hell! Where did that bastard go?!"
"Split up! He couldn't have gone far!"
"No, don't go alone. You, come with me; the rest, go over there and search!"
Aster could hear their loud voices echoing in the forest, anger evident in their words and tone. Although this was still going according to plan, his breathing was already ragged from running just a few hundred meters.
'Shit, I really lack stamina!' He lamented while trying to calm down.
Footsteps and crunched leaves reached his ears, telling him how the two teams split up. The one with three members went toward his left side, while the other two went right. In about thirty seconds, they should be able to locate him and launch a pincer attack!
"Phew..."
