Confused, Sharon looked at Stanley but he didn't look at her. Instead, he sat with his back facing her, and his gaze was fixed on the darkness outside the window.
He let Shawn live on purpose. Sharon understood it now, but why? Was he afraid that she couldn't accept it, or was he afraid that she couldn't bear it?
He must be very angry when he saw her plead for William. Did he suspect that she still had feelings for Shawn?
Sharon sat on the ground and shook her head. This was not the time to think about it.
She asked Ryan in a low voice, "Why is there no movement outside?"
Ryan frowned. Similarly, he was a little suspicious. "I don't know."
The wooden house was not big, and with more than a dozen people were hiding inside, the place seemed cramped. In the silence, everyone's breathing was heavy.
A few seconds ago, there was still the sound of bullets outside. But now, even the air was completely still.
Where were those people outside? What was going on? Why were they not moving?
Everyone was guessing in their hearts.
Someone broke the silence and said, "There are two groups of people outside. One of them of Isai, and the other seems to be of General Kunba."
The person who spoke was Shawn. As he spoke, he was also looking at Stanley.
Stanley frowned. Previously, when Sharon said that Isai had come to this place, he couldn't believe it. Now that he had also seen a few people outside the window, and there were indeed a few familiar faces hiding in the depths of the forest, he was sure those people were the confidants of Isai.
As for General Kunba, Stanley's face was slightly dark when he thought about him. It seemed that the general had been saved in his bedroom, and then in a rage, he sent people to fight with Shawn.
Therefore, now that both Isai and General Kunba's men were outside and since they were not familiar with each other, it would probably take a while before they were able to determine who the other party was, which was probably why both parties stopped moving.
As Stanley was thinking so in his heart, he was also quickly coming up with countermeasures in his mind.
In terms of numbers, he had no advantage at all. If Shawn and Isai reached an agreement, he would be at an even greater disadvantage...
If he wanted to leave this place, he had to take the opportunity to catch them off guard.
Thinking of this, he walked up to Sharon and squatted down before her. "Do your legs still hurt?"
Sharon came back to her senses and shook her head: "No, I'm fine."
While nodding, Stanley unbuttoned his coat and took off a vest for her to wear. Sharon was puzzled for a moment. Stanley explained, "Put on the bulletproof vest."
"What about you?"
"I'll be fine."
How could he be fine? It was so dangerous outside. If he rushed out later, there'll be a massive shooting of bullets, how dangerous it will be... Sharon's eyes got redder, "You need this more than me, you should wear it."
Stanley smiled. "You don't have a weapon in your hand, and you don't know how to use a gun. And now your legs are not good. Of course, you need this more. Listen to me and put it on. Don't worry about me."
Sharon looked into his dark eyes and knew that she could not argue with him this time. Her nose twitched, and she gritted her teeth when putting on the bullet-proof vest.
Stanley stroked her head, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. When he was about to fasten her strap, he lowered his voice and said, 'TH follow Ryan closely and run to a safe place once I go outside. I won't look at anyone. I'll just run forward with all my might. Okay?"
Sharon's body went stiff and she blurted out, "You'll be fine, right?"
