Chapter 251: Battle of Ladakh part -9
The squad leader’s grip tightened as he spoke with a sneer, "Just when I was looking for an errand boy, I run into you. Come with me."
Never in a million years would Shivraj have expected to stumble upon the very man who had caught him the first time. This was absolute rotten luck for being caught by the same guy again.
Time was slipping away, and at any moment, the explosion would go off. He had to escape. But there was no room for error. One misstep, and everything would be over.
Forcing himself to remain calm, he controlled his demeanor and muttered a few words as he tried to slip away from the squad leader. "Medicine... urgent... need to go..."
At the mention of medicine, the squad leader’s grip loosened slightly. His suspicion wavered as he began to ask, "What kind of..."
Boom!
A deafening explosion erupted from the basement of the stockade. Though the blast wasn’t strong enough to collapse the structure, it sent violent tremors through the ground, shaking the walls as thick smoke billowed out.
Guards stationed outside yelped in panic, their instincts forcing them to retreat to a safer distance. As the dust settled and the confusion subsided, they rushed back toward the stockade, scrambling to assess the damage.
Seizing the opportunity, Shivraj slipped away in the chaos, disappearing into the shadows before anyone could register his absence.
Everything had happened within mere seconds. The sudden commotion left everyone momentarily stunned, their eyes drawn toward the rising smoke.
The squad leader, still reeling from the blast, instinctively peered into the stockade to assess the situation. But when he found nothing immediately alarming, he turned back—only to realize Shivraj was gone.
Recognition dawned on him in an instant. His face twisted in fury as he bellowed, "INTRUDER ALERT! I saw the one responsible! Catch him before he escapes!"
