Chapter 162


    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 ced among these people and she got on her knees, not daring to act rashly.


    She observed the scene and discovered that there were a few tens of fully-armed men guarding the


    surrounding area.


    On the other hand, the hostages were all gathered inside the lobby.


    Quite a number of women next to her were sobbing softly and were shaking profusely from the chaotic


    noises.


    “Shut up! All of you shut up! I’ll beat you to death if you cry!” roared a man.


    A bang was heard and a sobbing female staff member next to Samantha was shot in the thigh. She


    instantly toppled to the ground.


    Samantha’s beautiful face turned pale with fear. She hastily turned around and applied pressure on the


    staff’s wound. She was at a loss for what to do.


    “You’ve all been taken hostage! Don’t move!”


    “Whoever dares to move will end up dead!”


    A man roared through a megaphone.


    The surrounding area was guarded by fully–armed men.


    Meanwhile, a middle–aged man walked downstairs slowly. His hands were sped behind his back


    and his face was filled with murderous intent. His body exuded a powerful demeanor.


    His presence was so powerful that one would be scared out of their wits just from seeing him from afar.


    “Battle Warrior!” The man holding the megaphone made his way to the man walking down the stairs


    and saluted him.


    “We’ve taken over the whole hotel and all the hostages are here. Please guide us on the next step, sir.”


    “Good work,” the man said, “Dispatch my order. Inform the people outside the hotel to tell


    Swallowston’s Battle Warrior Department that Lucas is toe and meet me in person if he wishes to


    keep the hostages alive.”


    “Yes, sir!”


    Samantha’s mouth hung open in astonishment upon hearing the conversation.


    She realized that these people were Luposians.


    Meanwhile, a young man next to her said softly. “Pretty girl, can you tell? These men are Luposian. If


    I’m not mistaken, that battle warrior is Luposia’s Northdesert King, Beowulf Jabbar,


    “He’s


    taking us as hostages in an attempt to threaten our city’s Battle Warrior Lucas to show up so he cant


    kill him!”


    Even though Samantha did not know much about this, she understood it to a certain extent.


    She said anxiously, “Will they kill us? Will we walk out of here alive?”

    The young man chuckled and said, “Don’t panic, pretty girl. My death will be worthwhile if I can die with


    someone as beautiful as you.”


    Samantha red at the young man and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t want to


    die and I certainly don’t want to die with you. I still have many things to do.”


    “Let’s be friends, shall we?” The young man extended a hand to Samantha.
