The young man said, “My name is Barry Cole and I’m from Southrive.”
Samantha said, “I’m not in the mood to make acquaintances. You’re a man. Shouldn’t you be figuring out
what we should do now?”
A few people around them looked toward Barry as well.
A middle–aged man said, “These Luposians are here for Battle Warrior Lucas. Only he can come and have us released.”
Barry shook his head. “Don’t even dream about it. To my knowledge, Sir Lucas left Swallowston two days ago. I heard he was sent on a mission or something. General Daniel, who works for Lucas, is the one guarding Swallowston right now.
“General Daniel may be a good warrior but he isn’t a good leader. We’ll have to depend on our luck to stay alive.”
Upon hearing Barry’s remark, Samantha said, “What do you mean? Did you say that Sir Lucas isn’t in Swallowston? In that case, won’t we all die here?”
“That’s right, my friend. But don’t make blind conjectures because I’m still hoping to stay alive.”
“Stop talking nonsense, boy!” someone berated Barry softly.
Barry chuckled and replied, “Don’t worry, everyone. Even though Sir Lucas is not in town, have your forgotten that the war legate just returned two weeks ago?
“The legate?”
The people in the surroundings were astonished upon hearing this.
“That’s right, that’s right. The legate is in Swallowston, isn’t he?”
“Will the legate come to save us?”
“Will he set us free?”
Quite a number of people were talking softly.
Barry said smilingly, “Don’t worry, everyone. The legate will most certainly figure out a way to save us.
“How can you be so sure, boy?”
“Yes, how do you know that the legate will come for sure?”
Barry sat on the ground and chuckled as he said, “The reason is simple. It’s because the legate’s wife is right here with us. She’s trapped here, just like us.”
The crowd looked around upon hearing Barry’s remark
Someone said, “Where is she? You must be talking nonsense, right?”
Barry shook his head and looked toward Samantha.
Samantha was puzzled and said, “Why are you looking at me?”
Barry said, “It’s because you’re the legate’s wife.”
Samantha was instantly stunned upon hearing his remark.
However, she soon calmed down and replied, “You’re overthinking things. My husband is just the man

who pretended to be the legate.”
Samantha assumed that Barry had mistaken her for the legate’s wife because of the opening ceremony of Swallow Central.
However, Barry chuckled.
Meanwhile, a fully–armed man standing opposite them shouted, “Don’t speak! Shut up, everyone! I’ll immediately kill whoever dares to speak!”
Everyone was so startled that they fell silent after being shouted at. In fact, no one had the courage to
even sob.
Samantha knelt on the ground but her mind was a chaotic mess. Her head was filled with thoughts about Adrian.
They had just talked about starting over last night, yet this incident happened before they could even begin their lives as a married couple.
Samantha’s thoughts were a mess. She trembled as she waited for her fate to dawn on her as she had no way to escape from this place.
Meanwhile, Beowulf sat on a sofa and puffed on his cigarette.
He gripped the megaphone and made his way to the window. He opened it a little and let his subordinate announce, “Listen, everyone outside. Luposia has taken control of the Swallowston Business Hotel. “Have Battle Warrior Lucas come here in person to negotiate. Otherwise, we’ll kill everyone here!”
