“Aah!!!”Vivian was dumbfounded when she heard the sound and her face turned bright red. Bram was shocked and immediately pulled the plug on his computer, his face also reddened.With a frown on her face, Vivian said, “Why are you watching such stuff when you’re supposed to be on duty? I’m going to deduct your salary, you shameless man!”Bram, the chubby man, gathered his thoughts and calmed himself as he let off a few light coughs. He looked at Vivian with a huge smile. “Ms. Vivian, what brings you here so late at night? I thought you went home already. Why are you still here?”Vivian frowned even harder. Bram was her subordinate and had so far been very obedient. Hence, she was surprised to find him watching lewd videos when he was supposed to be on his night shift.On company property, no less!“Are you itching for a beating?” Vivian gritted her teeth angrily.Bram chuckled in embarrassment and said, “Please tell me whatever it is you need me to do for you, Ms. Vivian. I’ll
‘Sounds like something’s definitely going on with SK.’At that thought, Adrian asked, “How did you find out about all this?“The previous hub manager told me but we all kept our mouths shut and pretended to not know about its existence. You two better not tell anyone else about this or all three of us will be in a lot of trouble.”“But since you know all this, we should head inside and take a look. Lead the way, Bram. Your chance at a huge promotion is right in front of you,” Vivian urged.“Lead the way? Are you mad, Ms. Vivian? I value my life too much to do such a thing. Unlike you, I’ve never slept with anyone before.“Unless…”Bram then stared at Vivian.“Do you have a death wish?” Vivian grabbed Bram’s ear after saying this.Panicking, Bram said, “W-wait! I was only joking! Please let go of my ear!”Vivian released Bram and said, “Enough jokes. Do you know who this man is, Bram?”Bram took a look at Adrian before Vivian continued, “This is War Legate Draco!”“Pfft! Why
Bram picked up his jacket and put it on as he strode out of his office. He then rushed toward the hub while nobody was looking, with Adrian and Vivian following closely behind.“I may know where the entrance to Scorpio Hub is but we’re going to need a Luposian’s ID card to get inside, sir. I’ll take you two there to have a look. We’ll think of something when we get there.”Soon, Bram brought Adrian and Vivian to the deepest parts of the hub. Inside were countless shipments containing items of all varieties. He pulled open one of the racks and lo and behold, there was indeed a door disguised as a wall.“Here it is. This is where the Luposians come and go. This hub is usually locked shut so nobody can come in and out of this place. You’ll need an ID card to open it up.”“Do you mean this?” Adrian took out a card from his pocket.When Bram saw this, he smiled and said, “Holy sh*t! Where did you get that, sir? That’s exactly what we need to get in!”Adrian replied, “I swiped it from
A man in a suit ran inside anxiously as he yelled.This middle-aged man was none other than Tanner Dunn.The Luposian higher-ups began to check the data on the computer. A staff member quickly typed something on the keyboard to bring up a video feed. “Mr. Tanner, some people have used a card belonging to one of the security guards who was murdered this afternoon and entered Scorpio Hub. They’re currently in the tunnel.”Very soon, the video feed showed up on the screen, revealing three people inside.Tanner said, “Zoom in.”Everyone got a huge shock when the video was enlarged.“That’s Vivian Arce. She’s an employee. And that’s Bram Rivera, the hub manager. But I don’t recognize the other man with them. He’s not from our company,” someone said in surprise.Tanner took a deep breath when he saw this. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Have our men apprehend Vivian’s family. Contact them and tell them to retreat this instant. Also, send our men to the tunnel to capture them. Tell the p
Following the opening of the car doors, Daniel was the first one to appear before Tanner.Stomp, stomp, stomp!!!Daniel and his men had Tanner and the rest of his crew surrounded within seconds.Unable to comprehend what in the world was happening at that moment, Tanner became anxious as he looked at Daniel. However, he forced a smile onto his face and said, “General Daniel, what brings you here today? A leisure trip perhaps?”Daniel smiled and said, “Mr. Tanner, this isn’t a leisure trip. It’s a hostile raid.”“Why are you here? Our company has abided by every single rule in Swallowston. No lines have been crossed. So, are you here to arrest someone or is it something else?“Might I remind you that the Battle Warrior Department isn’t authorized to arrest anyone in my company? That job belongs to Internal Affairs or the Guardians,” Tanner said with a huge smile on his face, knowing full well what the rules in Swallowston were.However, Daniel curled his lips into a smile as well
Tanner tried to leave but a dagger was suddenly pressed against his neck before he could do so.“Nobody is leaving this place without the legate’s permission. Anyone who tries will be executed.”Tanner trembled profusely but tried to put on a strong front as he retreated. He was surrounded, his text messages blocked, and his orders unable to be dispatched. The only thing he could do now was to wait and pray that his men down there would be able to kill the legate. Otherwise, he was in for a whole lot of trouble.Seeing this, Daniel could not stop himself from letting out a laugh and said, “I get the feeling that you’re treating us locals like idiots, Mr. Tanner. Anyway, today is a good opportunity to show you just how powerful our legate is.”Tanner pretended to not understand what Daniel was saying and sounded a lot friendlier as he said, “General Daniel, I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Maybe there’s some misunderstanding between us? Since the legate is here, why don
“Move, move, move! They should be just up ahead!” yelled the leading Luposian.More than ten thousand people then rushed into the tunnel. However, as they charged in completely unguarded, a figure suddenly showed up out of nowhere and was followed by a flash of light.Instantly, screams of agony could be heard along with blood splatters as dozens of their numbers fell to the ground. This sudden turn of events caused the others to feel helpless.In fact, they could not even tell who had attacked them.Then, Adrian rushed out and charged toward the group of Luposians. Some of them were so spooked they began to fire their guns randomly, killing their own comrades as a result. At the end of the day, this tunnel was not suited for gun combat due to how enclosed it was.Adrian’s surprise attack instantly threw the entire place into chaos.“What the hell! What’s going on?!” yelled a Luposian who could not wrap his head around what was happening.“Where is he?!”“Where’d he go?!”Some
Maybe they decided to change their strategy.Twenty minutes later, the trio left the tunnel and arrived at a brightly lit cavern. It was revealed to be a huge underground hub with many rooms leading off of it. There were all kinds of stuff inside the hub, including daily necessities, food, and weapons.It was clear that this place had constantly been inhabited, with a lot of tenants no less.Adrian stopped and signaled for Vivian and Bram to stay back. ‘It’s too quiet here… Something is off.’“You two stay here and wait for me.” Adrian walked into the hub and climbed on top of some crates to scan the area.Vivian whispered, “Be careful, Adrian! There might be people around the area!”Bram held his breath as well.At that moment, the door of the surrounding rooms got kicked down, followed by countless gunshots as men showed up one after the other. All of the gunfire was aimed in Adrian’s direction in a net formation.Without a moment’s hesitation, Adrian jumped off the crates an
