Han Yue made his decision in the space of approximately two seconds.
Lin Yi could see it happening. The recalculation behind the eyes. The assessment of what the two problems meant against what the prepared plan had been designed to accomplish. The weighing of whether the witness count was actually a deterrent or whether the situation could be managed afterward. Most people with genuine combat confidence eventually arrived at the same conclusion when they had already committed to the approach. Press forward. Deal with consequences later.
Han Yue raised his bow.
"Your first problem," Lin Yi said, completing his earlier thought, "you can solve by making me agree."
He said it in the same level tone as everything before it, which was the last ordinary thing that happened in the extraction zone for the next four minutes.
The golden arrow released.
SWOOSH!
