The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds

Chapter 168

Beowulf was slightly infuriated.

He had come to Swallowston to see Lucas. Even going so far as to infiltrate a hotel just to lure him out. They had planned to hold him hostage and kill him after leaving the border, making it a near–perfect plan.

However, Beowulf had not accounted 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 accept 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
