Leonard and Wilfred returned to Xander Manor after meeting Jaden.They told Harold how the meeting went.Harold pondered for a long while upon learning about the situation before saying, “Since Adrian is so charmed by that she-devil that he’s under her spell, we shall follow Jaden’s proposal.“I’d like to see if Adrian will still have the courage to go against me when Samantha is dead.”Harold’s expression was cold and filled with anger.***Over the next few days, Samantha was extremely busy with the company, working till late every day.She had many matters to attend to now including, managing the operations, handling employee recruitment, as well as attending business negotiations.Adrian, other than his occasional stroll outside, spent most of his time keeping Samantha company.This morning, Samantha had breakfast and was packing up to head to the company when she received a text message. She glanced at the screen and discovered that the message was from Leonard.It read,

Upon receiving the call, Adrian bolted up from the bed.He hastily put on his shoes and went to the bathroom to wash up.Adrian asked, “How many people are inside the hotel at the moment?”Daniel answered, “There are more than two hundred people currently. I’ve already instructed my subordinates to put together a name list of all the people there. The Luposians have yet to make a move for now.“However, I believe that it’ll take less than ten minutes for them to seize control of the hotel after the hotel’s management is fully subdued.“Their goal is to force Lucas to appear using the hostages and have him killed.”The Luposians and Lucas were bound by a blood feud.Lucas had annihilated more than a hundred thousand Luposian soldiers on the battlefield in the past.On the other hand, what Adrian was more concerned over was how the Luposians managed to overcome all sorts of obstacles and enter Swallowston fully armed.He asked, “Are the Luposians led by Beowulf Jabbar?”“Yes, s

Adrian should not be involved in this matter yet he had no choice because Lucas was not currently in Swallowston.At this point, he asked, “Beowulf has gone too far this time. I wonder how he’ll react when he finds out I’m in Swallowston.“Prepare to receive orders!”Everyone stood to attention as soon as Adrian’s voice died away.He instructed, “Mya, Magus. Lead a troop to surround the hotel and negotiate with Beowulf to the best of your abilities. Agree to everything he proposed to buy me some time.”“Yes, sir!” Mya answered.“Daniel, Thor, Zagan, Serpent. Take a few men with each of you and wait for my order to descend on the hotel’s rooftop for an encirclement.”“Yes, sir!” the four answered.Mya asked, “Sir, what about the hostages?”Adrian grabbed a military uniform that was passed to him and put it on. He covered his entire body with the uniform, revealing only his eyes.As he put on the uniform, he said, “Wait for my orders. I’ll sneak into the hotel and disarm Beowul

Rat-tat-tat!Sounds of gunshots, people roaring, and people's screams echoed through the hotel.Fully-armed men showed up from all directions. They barricaded the windows and locked the main entrance. All of them were carrying full-loaded weapons.Samantha’s entire body was shaking because she had never experienced a situation like this.Yet, she realized that she and everyone else here had been taken prisoner.They would be regarded as hostages and would be put in imminent danger.***“Everyone, gather in the first-floor lobby, get on your f*cking knees, and put your hands behind your heads!”The roaring voices continued.The sound of messy footsteps was constantly heard.Samantha, some hotel staff, and other guests were forced to go to the first-floor lobby. More than two hundred people were already gathered there. They were on their knees with their hands behind their heads, trembling in fear.Samantha was placed among these people and she got on her knees, not daring to

The young man said, “My name is Barry Cole and I’m from Southrive.”Samantha said, “I’m not in the mood to make acquaintances. You’re a man. Shouldn’t you be figuring out what we should do now?”A few people around them looked toward Barry as well.A middle-aged man said, “These Luposians are here for Battle Warrior Lucas. Only he can come and have us released.”Barry shook his head. “Don’t even dream about it. To my knowledge, Sir Lucas left Swallowston two days ago. I heard he was sent on a mission or something. General Daniel, who works for Lucas, is the one guarding Swallowston right now.“General Daniel may be a good warrior but he isn’t a good leader. We’ll have to depend on our luck to stay alive.”Upon hearing Barry’s remark, Samantha said, “What do you mean? Did you say that Sir Lucas isn’t in Swallowston? In that case, won’t we all die here?”“That’s right, my friend. But don’t make blind conjectures because I’m still hoping to stay alive.”“Stop talking nonsense, boy

The shouting drew the attention of the people near the hotel.All at once, many passersby surrounded the hotel and listened to the voices coming from inside.After the remark was repeated several times, the people outside finally realized that Luposians had gained control over the hotel and the hostages inside were in dire need of the Battle Warrior Department’s rescue.Then, several people pulled out their phones and called the Battle Warrior Department for help.Ten minutes later, Beowulf’s subordinate walked over to him and said, “Sir, I believe that Lucas’ Battle Warrior Department is aware of our existence. It shouldn’t be long before they get here.”“Very well,” Beowulf said, “Wolfgang, Wolfhard, Wolfram, Adalwolf, come forward.”Four people made their way to Beowulf. They were the four great exterminators who served under him.Beowulf gave the order by saying, “Wolfgang, keep careful guard over the rooftop. I suspect that Lucas and his men will land from the air there.“

Soon after, the garage of the Battle Warrior Department opened up and more than ten armored vehicles filled with fully-armed warriors drove out.They rushed over to the Swallowston Business Hotel.Meanwhile, Daniel walked out leading the troops of the department.Upon spotting him, the crowd surrounded him. Their faces were drenched in tears and some were even bowing to him.“Mr. Daniel, my daughter is trapped in the hotel. She’s only twenty-three and is still unmarried. Please save her! I’m begging you!”“Mr. Daniel, my son is an employee of the hotel. He’s trapped in there. Please save him, Mr. Daniel!”“Mr. Daniel, please save my husband. I’m begging you!”Hundreds of people surrounded him.All of a sudden, they bowed down in unison with tears streaming down their faces.Daniel inhaled a deep breath upon witnessing the situation and boomed, “Please calm down, everyone. be at ease. The Luposians have taken control of the hotel and the Battle Warrior Department will most cert

In less than ten minutes, everyone’s attention turned toward the hotel.Various media outlets and reporters hurried over to find out what was happening. Even drones could even be seen hovering from above.The battle warrior army led by Mya and Magus instantly had the place surrounded, shocking the whole of Southrive.Reporters were standing in front of their respective cameras, swiftly reporting the situation in real-time.The citizens took out their cell phones and laptops, or even turned on their televisions, to follow the latest news.A female reporter said, “This morning, a group of Luposians infiltrated the Swallowston Business Hotel and took more than two hundred people hostage. Right now, the Battle Warrior Department has surrounded the place with armored helicopters and vehicles. According to reliable sources, War Legate Draco will be personally leading the charge.”Meanwhile, Rue trembled as she sat on the sofa watching the news, her hands tightly clenching the armrest.
