Chapter 167
“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
Chapter 168
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.’
Chapter 172
Adrian remained extremely calm as the elevator descended, his clothes dripping blood.Meanwhile, the elevator’s movement instantly caught the attention of Beowulf and the others.Beowulf was slightly confused when he saw the elevator descending from the twelfth floor. “What’s going on, Wolfram? Are we expecting someone to come down from the twelfth floor?”Wolfram was also confused and spoke through his communicator, “All units on each floor, report your status.”“Third floor, clear!”“Nothing here on the fourth floor!”Each floor reported its status… All but the twelfth floor.Wolfram yelled, “Twelfth floor, do you copy?! What’s your status?! Why is the elevator coming down from your end?!”Still, absolute silence.At that moment, Beowulf and Wolfram exchanged looks, realizing that something was amiss.Beowulf yelled, “We have an intruder! Quick, surround the elevator. I don’t care who comes out. Just fire all of your bullets at it!”Immediately after, all of the Luposians

The moment Adrian charged toward the Luposians, Mya, who was being held hostage, broke free from her restraints and launched herself toward Beowulf.While Beowulf was startled and took a few steps back, Mya swung her iron fist at him, sending him sprawling onto the floor.At the same time, Adrian shouted, “Now!”What followed was a loud explosion, and the hotel’s main entrance was blasted open. The windows were shattered and armored soldiers from the Battle Warrior Department charged in.Meanwhile, Adrian swiftly retreated, allowing the Luposians outside the elevator to be trapped in a pincer attack. They ended up falling into pools of their own blood.Up in the sky, a helicopter hovered above the hotel while Daniel, Thor, Zagan, and Serpent led their respective teams in an airdrop into the building.A full-out assault had started inside the hotel.“Protect the hostages,” Adrian ordered.Special Ops units swarmed the place, with Magus personally leading the charge to surround a

Outside, the hostages got out of the vehicles and were greeted by their friends and family who had been waiting for them for a long time.“Mom…”“Sis!”There were cries of excitement coming from the hostages and their loved ones as they embraced one another tearfully.All of them could not stop themselves from crying with all the emotions running through them.The hostages had been filled with despair. They were sure that they would meet their maker today. Yet, they had managed to return in one piece, making the emotions they felt absolutely indescribable.Yet, Samantha was standing there seemingly lost. She kept looking around her surroundings in search of the man she wanted to see.Everyone’s friends, family, and even spouses were already there to celebrate their safe return, yet the man she wanted to see still had not shown up.She was even left there standing alone, unable to embrace the man she wanted to, while everyone else left.Perhaps at that moment, Samantha needed s
