The plan had been set long before. During their earlier scouting, Raymond and his team had carefully observed the movements of the Red-Eyed Crows from multiple angles, ensuring they knew the best vantage points and safe routes.
Raymond gave Arya, Sylph, and Lorene a slight nod. "Go."
Without hesitation, the three darted off toward their designated positions, their footsteps light and precise as they weaved between houses, staying out of the sightlines of the Red-Eyed Crows.
Meanwhile, Raymond remained perfectly still, his eyes locked onto the two crows perched on a nearby rooftop. Their beady, crimson eyes scanned their surroundings with eerie intelligence, but for now, they showed no signs of alarm.
Timing was everything.
Raymond mentally counted the seconds, estimating how long it would take for his team to reach their hidden spots. When he was sure they were in place, he moved.
