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.’

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

‘It’s him! The one who infiltrated the hotel to rescue us!’Although Samantha had not seen the man’s face through the armor, it felt as though she was able to subconsciously recognize the legate’s aura coming from Adrian.Adrian walked toward her before she could think any further.“Are you okay, Sam?” he asked.“I’m okay,” Samantha replied.She carefully looked Adrian up and down before asking, “Where have you been?”Adrian hurriedly replied, “I took a few detours before coming here out of fear there might be Luposians around. The situation today was really dangerous. Thank goodness the legate was here.”“You’re right, thank goodness the legate was here. Who knows what might’ve happened if he wasn’t.”A flicker of thought raced through Samantha’s mind, causing her to compare the legate’s height, build, and eyes with Adrian’s once more.Suddenly, she found the two of them to be extremely similar.Just as she was about to question further, Adrian stretched lazily, and the temp

Rue hastily walked over and asked, “Did you have a nightmare, Sam?”Samatha grabbed a towel and wiped away the sweat on her face. She looked around for Adrian but he was nowhere to be found. “Mother, where’s Adrian?”“He told me he had some matters to attend to and left.”“Why does he have matters to attend to every day? What the heck is he doing out there?” Samantha appeared to be infuriated.Adrian had been away on business every day recently.Rue had no idea what he was doing so she said, “Sam, you can ask him when he gets back.”“Fine,” Samantha said, “Mother, I have to go to New Paraiso. Riley and Elara called me a few times. I have to go tell them that I’m fine.”Rue said in a slightly worried tone, “Why don’t you stay home and rest for today instead of going to the company?”Samantha grabbed her bag. “It’s fine, Mother. I won’t work till late today. Wait for me to come home to your cooking, all right?”Rue let Samantha do as she pleased.Samantha suddenly stopped just

Barry’s goal was to seek the legate’s mentorship.Yet, Adrian turned around and made a hand gesture for Barry to stop walking. He then said, “Your mother is calling you to go home for dinner. It’s good to have dreams, kid, but not all dreams can be achieved.“Stop following me.”Barry stood rooted to the ground as Adrian walked further and further away.As he gazed at Adrian’s departing silhouette, Barry called out, “Sir, I’ll show you my true capabilities and will solve the Luposia case for you!”Adrian ignored him because there were plenty of boastful people in the world these days.***“Huh? Aren’t you Barry?”Meanwhile, an Audi A4 drove up and stopped next to Barry.Samantha rolled down the window and looked at Barry standing by the sidewalk in puzzlement.She remembered the young man rather well because of how carefree he had seemed when he was being held hostage yesterday. He had a calmness that surpassed everyone else.Barry was surprised to see Samantha. “Why, hello,
