Aftermath
Ivan looked at William as he breathed heavily, unable to accept his loss.He had planned everything thoroughly yet at the end of the day, he had lost without even causing any damage.“Take him back and find out who it was that helped them with the weapons that they used to threaten the hostages. I want to know everyone that allied themselves with him.”“Yes sir.”William didn't stay behind and left the building to look for Victoria. Outside, the hostages got out of the vehicles and were greeted by their family and friends who had been waiting for them for a long time.“Mom.”“Sis!”There were cries of excitement coming from the hostages and their loved ones as they embraced one another tearfully.All of them could not stop themselves from crying with all the emotions running through them.The hostages had been filled with despair as they were sure that they would meet their maker today.Yet they had managed to return in one piece, making the emotions they felt absolutely indescribabl
A win is a win
As the situation in the hotel reached its climax with gunshots ringing out on each floor, William swiftly made his way to where Ivan was waiting with the Shadows.“I underestimated you.” Ivan admitted with a dark look on his visage.It was clear that he was displeased with his things had turned out.The hostages that he planned on using to force William to give up without fighting back were gone and now, William was standing before him, without a single injury on his person.This was a man that dared to face off against ten thousand men and win.Ivan didn't dare to think he could take him on by himself.“Give up now and I won't have to kill you.” William calmly said.He might have considered killing Ivan before, but that was only if the bastard made the mistake of touching Victoria.Since that hadn't happened, there was no need to end his life immediately.As a high ranking member of the Ghost Army, Ivan would have information, valuable information that he could use to destroy that vi
A full on assault
Burke was slightly confused when he saw the elevator ascending from the basement.“What's going on?... Are we expecting someone from the basement?”His subordinates were confused as well, prompting him to take out his communicator. “All units, report your status!”“Third floor, clear!”“Nothing here on the fourth floor!”Each floor reported it's status… all but the basement.Burke yelled. “Basement team!... Do you copy?... What's your status?... Why is the elevator coming up from your end?”Still, no response.At that moment, Burke realized that something was amiss. He bellowed. “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 mercenaries 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. As the elevator slowly approached their location, Burke stood in place with his brea
I'm coming
As someone who had come across several martial encounters, William understood how important it was to think like the enemy.It was best to think that they are smarter than they appear to be than to underestimate them at all.He had seen enough people fall due to underestimating an opponent and he was not about to fall into that same trap.Just then, he heard movement approaching his location and a moment later, two mercenaries with guns stormed into the room.They laid eyes on William the same time he set eyes on them.Silence followed and then, they reacted.“Intruder…”William didn't hesitate to react as he rushed forward and threw a roundhouse kick at them, causing their necks to snap in an instant.Before they could fall over though, he stepped forward and caught them before gently placing them on the ground after which he exited the room.Meanwhile, eight others guarding the basement were heading in William's direction after hearing some minor commotion in that direction.Just as
A successful infiltration
William could have protected himself but that would mean creating a spiritual energy barrier that would impede the flow of the water.So he had no choice but to keep pushing even as it felt like his bones were about to break and his lungs were about to give out.He held on, passing out several times in the space of several minutes as he swiftly approached the water reservoir in the school.By the time he arrived, he was teetering at the edge of consciousness, struggling to open his eyes as his body was too weak to even move.But then, he suddenly opened his eyes, taking a deep breath as he did so.He had made a promise to save the hostages and until he had done that, he couldn't die just yet.Clenching his fist, he swam up to the surface, gasping as he reached the top where there was no water.He reached out and grabbed the cover only to realize it was sealed shut.But that was no problem for him as he put out two fingers and coated it with spiritual energy before using it to cut a ho
Finding out
“Wait here for William's orders.” Briggs remarked after which he took out all of his weapons and walked into the hotel with his hands in the air.Once he walked inside, a few mercenaries rushed out.“Don't try anything funny. One wrong move and nobody inside us getting out of here alive!”“Quickly search him.”Once they were done ensuring that Briggs hadn't walked in with a weapon, they took him to meet with Ivan who was waiting in the lounge.He was currently seated on the sofa with his legs crossed and a knowing smile on his lips.Taking the time to regard Briggs, he intoned. “I'm happy that I've got you accompanying me now.”Briggs first observed his surroundings before he replied. “I'm here so that you won't harm the hostages, but I'd like to let you know that this is meaningless.”“Heh.” Ivan chuckled. “It may be meaningless to you, but it's very important to me. Now you are the one being held captive, not the other way around.”After saying that, he ordered his men. “Tie him up
