All Chapters of The Return of the War Legate: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

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 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.“

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.

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

“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
