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
Making demands
Briggs was not an individual that took well to be threatened, so he angrily replied. “Stop being such a coward and leave civilians out of this. I guarantee you that no one will interfere if you agree to take on the general one on one, but if you dare to touch any of those hostages, you can forget about dying a good death!”His words were enough to shock even the police officers because they weren't used to such aggressive words.They were even worried that his anger would end up worsening the situation.Imagine their surprise when Ivan say nothing back, instead moving to show himself at the balcony of the hotel.One of the snipers that the police had brought along was foolish enough to try and snipe him only for the bullet to be repelled like it was a pebble.Ivan glared at the offending party and a moment later, the individual let out an agonizing scream before passing out.“Damn it!” The police commisoner was about to order his men to shoot but Briggs spoke up.“If any police office
Setting plans into motion
William Belmont’s death.This was the reason Ivam was sent out and he swore he would not fail in his task, no matter what. The situation outside Starcrust Business Hotel swiftly turned chaotic as members of the police force arrived to cordon off the area as a crowd began to gather outside the hotel.Special forces were deployed and journalists quickly gathered at the scene.“Breaking News, Avalon has fallen into the hands of terrorists. Information reaching us is that a terrorist group has occupied Starcrust Business Hotel. From what could be gathered, there are more than a hundred hostages, all of whom are related to various wealthy and influential individuals in the city. With the situation as it is, one can only wonder what to expect going forward.”As the journalists reported the situation in real time, the police commisoner had to personally move out to calm those that were gathered outside the hotel.These were men and women that could be considered high middle class and even u
Please, spare us!
“Please spare us, we didn't do anything wrong!” Some of the hostages began to plead for their lives with some even daring to offer the gunmen money in exchange for freedom.One of them was the wife of a wealthy businessman who was kneeling next to Victoria.“Please, I can pay you anything, just don't harm me, please.” the woman said, hopeful that they would accept her offer.Unfortunately for her, the leader of the gunmen wasn't at all moved by her offer as he bellowed. “Do you think you can buy me with the little change you have?”He didn't even give her a chance to respond as he aimed his gun at her and following that, a bang was heard.The woman was shot in the thigh causing her to scream out in pain as she toppled to the ground.Victoria who was kneeling beside her went pale with fear as she hastily tried to help the woman by applying pressure to her wound.The gunmen leader didn't pay any more attention to her as he bellowed. “You have all been taken hostage. Don't you dare move
Move out!
Pursing his lips, Briggs pondered briefly, setting up a plan in his head before finally, he spoke up.“Sloan, lead a group to surround the hotel and negotiate with Ivan to the best of your abilities. Agree to everything he asks for to buy me some time.”“Yes, general.”“Luke. Take a few men with you and wait for my order to descend on the hotel's rooftop for an encirclement.”“On it, general.”“Sir, what about the hostages?” Draco asked.Briggs was just about to respond when William replied. “I'll take care of it.”Briggs glanced at him. “Are you sure?”William didn't immediately respond as he grabbed a military uniform that was passed to him and put it on Covering the entirety of his body to ensure his identity wasn't discovered once he made a move, William then replied. “I'll sneak into the hotel and disarm Ivan. I'll send the signal when he's been defeated. Once you receive my signal, lead the Legion into the hotel to deal with the mercenaries.”“You are going in alone?” Dante ask
