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.

“Look! He’s here!” someone suddenly shouted.Everyone turned their attention to the screen and saw that the cameras were aimed outside the hotel’s main entrance. They then saw a man, clad in so much armor you could only see his eyes, jump out of an armored vehicle.There were two warriors next to him, Mya and Magus.“Is that him? It’s too bad we can’t see his face.”“As if a man like him would let us see it.”“She’s right. Still, he seems really young.”The students continued to chatter away, while Adaline turned around toward Suzy and Shiloh, who were seated next to her. “Is that him? Is that my brother?”The twins nodded. “Yes, that’s him. His temperament is undeniable.”Adaline pursed his lips.Instead of becoming a businessman like her father, Adrian had become a warrior in an iron suit who would protect and defend their country.Inside, Adaline felt proud of her brother.***After Adrian got out of the armored vehicle outside the hotel, he gestured toward Mya and she n

Beowulf was slightly infuriated.He had come to Swallowston to see Lucas. Even going so far as to infiltrate a hotel just to lure him out. They had planned to hold him hostage and kill him after leaving the border, making it a near-perfect plan.However, Beowulf had not accounted for the fact that his enemies would ask him to wait for six hours because Lucas was not in Swallowston.‘Six hours… Too many uncertainties could happen during that time. What if something happens over the next six hours?’Meanwhile, Mya was not a woman who would accept being threatened, so she angrily said, “I understand what you’re saying, Beowulf. I guarantee you Battle Warrior Lucas will be here in six hours, but that’s how long you’re going to have to wait before you get to see him.”Beowulf was so infuriated he took a deep breath.At that moment, Wolfram stepped up and said, “We can’t stay and wait, sir. I say we kill the hostages right now if Lucas refuses to show up. Let’s show them we mean busine

Beowulf’s men quickly brought over some rope and tied Mya up before pushing her into the crowd of hostages.After she sat down, she turned around and continued to scan her surroundings.Her appearance had caused the hostages to feel slightly more relaxed. At the very least, they could see that the Battle Warrior Department was indeed working toward rescuing them.Meanwhile, Beowulf, still sitting on the sofa, took a look at the time and announced, “Tell the others this. If Lucas isn’t here in the next six hours, we’ll kill everyone inside and charge out of here.”“Yes, sir!”The Luposians quickly spread their battle warrior’s announcement.Nobody in the main lobby dared utter a single word as they all squatted on the floor. Like most of the others, Samantha’s heart was racing as she accepted her fate.‘No one knows whether the Battle Warrior Department will be able to get us out of here safely. No one even knows what kind of strategy they’re going to use.’While these thoughts

“Come on… You can do this!”A few students inside Swallowston University’s classroom had their eyes glued to the screen, murmuring continuously as they watched Adrian hanging onto the wall like a lizard.The same went for Adaline, whose eyes were teary as she watched her brother scale the wall. She could feel her heart thumping as she watched how masterful and brave her brother was.She thought that Adrian, who had been away for the past seven years, had failed her. But through this incident, she suddenly thought that perhaps he had his reasons.‘I suppose there are many times he has felt helpless since he’s the legate.’***The operation was reaching its climax.Dozens of drones flew high up in the sky, their cameras trained on Adrian.For a moment, everyone’s breaths were taken away when they saw the legate suddenly make his move.Adrian propelled himself off the wall and kicked the window with both legs like a flash of lightning, flying into the hotel as the glass shattered

After Adrian eliminated the two Luposians guarding a particular room on the twelfth floor, he spoke through his communication device.“Get a fix on my location, Magus. I’m heading down to the first floor from here. I need you to give me the best route.”“Sir, take a right when you exit the room and you’ll find an elevator. If it’s still functional, you can use that to head down to the first floor. Otherwise, you can use the stairs opposite it.“But you’ll first have to eliminate all of the enemies on the twelfth floor without being noticed.”“Got it.”Adrian was not familiar with his current environment, seeing how it was his first time inside the Swallowston Business Hotel.However, he was able to reduce a lot of unnecessary tediousness by getting a blueprint of the hotel through the Battle Warrior Department.There was one problem though. He did not know how many enemies he should be expecting.‘There’s a chance my break-in through the window alerted the neighboring guards.’
