Sparrow and his team remained perfectly still, their eyes fixed on the unfolding situation. The men approaching them kept their guns trained on Sparrow and his group, closing the distance with measured steps. Then, a voice rang out—sharp and demanding.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?!"
Sparrow couldn't pinpoint the speaker amidst the tension, nor could he determine their exact location. But one thing was certain—the voice was from a young man.
"We're here looking for Eagle and Hawk. Do you know them? Can you take us to them?" Sparrow stated plainly, offering no further explanation.
But his straightforward words were immediately met with suspicion. The person in charge assumed Sparrow was trying to bait him—fishing for information about Eagle and Hawk, hoping to trick him into revealing something he shouldn't.
To him, this was a classic scam—an outsider pretending to know someone in order to gain entry and infiltrate their base, like a wolf invited into the den.
