Dario took the bow's back, while Gao Guang took the bowstring. This naturally turned the chase into an ambush.
This is the difference between construction and destruction. No matter how rich Dario is, he couldn't give a few pawns ten million each. But Gao Guang stole Dario's money and used it to take him down. Not to mention ten million, Gao Guang would dare to spend a billion if needed.
But an ambush takes time, and the path here is truly treacherous. At times, there's no path at all, forcing them to wade through water for an extended stretch.
Under such conditions, wearing heavy body armor was out of the question. Other than the bare essentials, Gao Guang wished he could toss even his boots, as they felt unbearably heavy compared to the lightweight shoes or even slippers worn by the pawns.
Dawn was breaking. For traveling, the first light was sufficient, making night vision goggles unnecessary. However, Gao Guang kept his goggles on to maintain combat readiness.
