Chapter 172

Chapter 172 Adrian remained extremely calm as the elevator descended, his clothes dripping blood. Meanwhile, the elevator’s movement instantly caught the attention of Beowulf and the others. Beowulf was slightly confused when he saw the elevator descending from the twelfth floor. “What’s going on, Wolfram? Are we expecting someone to come down from the twelfth floor?” Wolfram was also confused and spoke through his communicator, “All units on each floor, report your status.” “Third floor, clear!” “Nothing here on the fourth floor!” Each floor reported its status… All but the twelfth floor. Wolfram yelled, “Twelfth floor, do you copy?! What’s your status?! Why is the elevator coming down from your end?!”

Still, absolute silence. At that moment, Beowulf and Wolfram exchanged looks, realizing that something was amiss. Beowulf yelled, “We have an intruder! Quick, surround the elevator. I don’t care who comes out. Just fire all of your bullets at it!” Immediately after, all of the Luposians who were guarding the hostages charged toward the elevator with their guns at the ready. They were going to unload all of their bullets the moment the door opened. Tenth floor… Eighth floor… As the elevator slowly approached the first floor, Beowulf stood up with his breath held as he glared at the elevator furiously. This attracted the attention of everyone, including Samantha and the other hostages. They stared with their eyes wide open, unsure about what was happening in the elevator area. ‘It’s coming…. ‘It’s coming…’

The elevator doors finally opened when they reached the first floor. As the doors opened with a creak, the Luposians fired their guns, sending countless bullets flying toward the elevator and instantly ruining its doors. They continued to fire when the doors were fully ajar until someone suddenly realized in shock that there was nobody inside. “What?! It’s empty?! Beowulf’s mouth hung wide open in shock. “What’s going on?” Right after Beowulf said that a gunshot was heard, followed by a Luposian falling into a pool of his own blood. Bang! Bang! Bang! Three more gunshots and three more bodies were on the floor. At that moment, everyone looked up toward the sky and saw a man fully clad in armor jumping down from the second floor. He clicked his gun’s trigger the moment he landed, accurately killing off one Luposian with every bullet he fired. All of the hostages gasped in shock as they watched this extremely heroic young man jump down from the second floor. It was as if time had stopped in that instant, reflecting his brilliance like the moon being reflected on a bed of water. Even Samantha herself was mesmerized. Half of the dozens of Luposians were killed the moment this man landed. Meanwhile, Beowulf finally realized what was happening and yelled, “F*ck! We’ve been duped! Kill the hostages!” The remaining Luposians quickly turned their guns on the hostages when they heard this, Yet, Adrian, who revealed only his eyes, refused to give them a chance to unload a single bullet at the hostages and charged toward them. As quick as lightning and as fluid as water, Adrian darted around the place, kicking down the Luposians at the front and had them knock over the others behind them.
