Amanda led them inside while looking at the lone shadow that was looking at her standing atop the tree branch.
She knew who it was just by looking at the silhouette after which he gave a short salute before vanishing inside the forest.
She went about doing her thing leaving the people who were here to look for Samuel and his team baffled.
They were sure the location shown was inside the house. The first suspicion was they were stationary for few minutes before their signals went off.
Without any news from them for few more minutes, they sent someone who was in turn scared by Amanda’s tactic and Luna’s presence.
But this was a different team who were specialist when it came hunting people and from the traces left in the living room they knew Samuel along with Steve and his team were just here.
Time after time they kept forgetting that as a master of deception, seemingly unlucky encounters like meeting the wolf should have been orcastrated by Samuel himself. If he was already in the home it meant he had already known about the tail outside the house.
Even after everything, they predictably fell right into his trap. Now that he had escaped to the forest it would be even harder for them to catch him.
The one who seemed to be the leader gave Amanda a stern look before taking his men out. Maybe during this mission they could find out who would definitely defect to Samuel’s team if he ever try to went against the Rothschilds.
He suggested the immediate deployment of their latest drone equipped with several modes that would be able to pick up on them if they pass through any clearing.
The chances were small because it was a very dense forests with a lot of animals living in them but it was their only hope. For now, they were only thinking that Samuel would spend the night in the forest and change location tomorrow.

" Just follow my movement. There is no need to be fast, Luna also need time to properly vet the surroundings." Samuel reminded them.
Everyone was geared up fro. head to toe wearing sleek black armour that would shimmer in the drowning light of the sun but soon after dark befalls the whole forest, it would act as the best camouflage that would subtly blend with the background.
It was not a technological field in normal sense but more of a breakthrough in illusion and material science. With atleast fifty pounds gear for Steve, Cho and Drake and Jane and Arthur carrying the communication equipments, they were decked out.
Samuel had the largest carrybag which was size of his body and stuck to his body by four or five contraptions but it didn’t matter with the fluidity that he moved, no one even bothered to say anything about it.
They believed that speaking out could led him to pass the ’burden’ back to them which would be detrimental with how much they were already carrying.
After few minutes, Luna led them to a clearing where her pack was waiting for her. Knight and Titan who had been showing off in the morning seemed to have little bit of fight left in them but Luna directly smacked their head and showed her teeth a clear warning she would never let it slide twice.
Other wolves were much more calm, they lost which was normal when they faced Samuel so it was no big deal for them. They even came and brushed up against him to show that they were cool now.
It gave him sometime to see their injuries. Most of it were healed but they would need few days rest and a lot of energy because Samuel only us d his regenerative power sparingly which meant it would be their bodies that had to fight any infection if their wound opened up again.

He used some more powers making them excited. Arthur and Jane were unfazed interacting with them but others were keeping their distance.
They were at the edge of the boundary where the human touch would end. Suddenly Samuel heard something and signalled everyone to hide.
They were alert enough to take cover. Even the wolves followed the humans which could become their downfall but with Samuel’s aura they knew it wasn’t a game but serious situation.
Suddenly they heard a low growl of a drone which was very distinct especially when they were already aware that something was coming. If not for Samuel, they would have been discovered right about now.
The drone captured the image, what they saw confused them for a moment. Since they didn’t have time to hide, the best they could do was ditch the bags and just lay alongside the wolves masking their heat signature.
Samuel didn’t chose Luna probably because the people at the HQ believed that she was still with Samuel and his party.
With her missing presence they would think these wolves were just laying here recovering after their fight with him and were too tired to do anything.
With such a clever plan, there was little chance for them to find them out right? Wrong, after all not everyone was comfortable with laying down with a wild wolf. It was Drake who disrupted the serene scene leading the HQ to finally locate Samuel for the first time since he entered the Estate.
With their cover blown, Samuel knew they only had less than three minutes before the people arrive to apprehend them. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Uncle Daniel would always stretch out the time and even now knowing their best time was more than three minutes, they would definitely be here earlier just to surprise them.
At the same time, he would be sending helicopters to form a rock solid perimeter just so that his ’fish’ didn’t have a chance to sneak out.
He was devious with his plans, forming the perimeter where he would think the target would be their weakest, just inches away from their freedom.
Samuel was aware of all the psychological tortures that he would put over these people just to break their spirit making it easier for him to do the final catch.
" Hurry up and grab whatever you can. This will be an interesting fight one where I hope our team could be victorious."
