Chapter 168


    Beowulf was slightly infuriated.


    He hade to Swallowston to see Lucas. Even going so far as to infiltrate a hotel just to lure him out.


    They had nned to hold him hostage and kill him after leaving the border, making it a near–perfect


    n.


    However, Beowulf had not ounted 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 ept 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 business.”


    Beowulf frowned and said, “No, the hostages are our leverage to staying alive. Or do you think you can


    withstand all the armored vehicles out there the moment a hostage is killed?”


    Wolfram was slightly startled when he heard this


    “What shall we do then, sir?”


    Beowulf pondered for a moment. “I can’t proceed with my n if he doesn’te. But if I kill a hostage


    now and aggravate Mya, I’m sure she’ll have her men charge in here and we’d suffer a huge defeat.


    The only way


    ay we’d be safe is if the hostages are kept alive.


    ‘What the hell are they trying to y at by asking me to wait for six hours?!‘


    Beowulf suddenly came up with an idea and said to Mya, “Fine, I’ll wait. However, I’d like you to put


    down your weapons and walk in here with your hands up


    “I’d like to have a cup of coffee with you before Lucas gets here.”


    Beowulf’s n was to hold Mya hostage for the time being.


    Mya immediately jumped out of her vehicle when she heard this.


    Magus grabbed onto her and said, “What are you doing?”


    “He’s got nowhere to run now, but he might kill one or two of us if he feels that he’spletely


    cornered. So, I’m going to go in there and be his hostage to calm him down.”


    “But” Magus swallowed the words he wanted to say.


    Instead, Mya said, “I want you to wait for the legate’s orders.”


    After that, she removed all of her weapons and walked toward the hotel entrance with her hands in the


    air.


    “You can open the door, Beowulf.”


    Beowulf immediately gestured when he saw Mya at the door, and a few Luposians rushed out.


    “Don’t try anything funny. One wrong move and nobody Inside is getting out of here.”


    “You, search her.”


    “Get inside.”

    The Luposians frisked Mya before letting her in and shutting the door behind them.


    Mya still had her hands in the air when she walked toward Beowulf, who was sitting on the sofa with his


    legs crossed. With a slight smile, he said, “If I’m correct, you should be one of Lucas‘ closest


    subordinates. I’m happy now that I’ve got you apanying me.”


    Mya first observed her surroundings when she entered. Then, she said, “I’m here so that you won’t


    harm the hostages, but I’d still like to tell you that this is meaningless.”


    7t


    may


    be meaningless to you, but it’s very important to me. Now, you’re the one being held captive, not the


    other way around.


    “Tie her up and take her away!” Beowulf yelled.
