The armed officer didn’t expect to only see an adult and a child in the game room, so he was startled
for a moment.
Jacob’s gaze lingered on the words ‘Special Operation Brigade’ on the man’s uniform for a second as
he narrowed his eyes.
Sitting on the trampoline, Heidi nibbled her finger anxiously when she saw the armed officer.
“Sir, a group of terrorists has held some guests hostage in this hotel. Please bring your child and follow
me right away.” The officer said in a solemn tone while walking toward them.
Attacked by a group of terrorists? A frosty glow flashed through Jacob’s eyes.
Meanwhile, in the auction hall, Jerry lifted his right hand slightly. Immediately, a wisp of silver gleam
struck through the air.
A second later, a faint metal smell emerged in the air while the armed terrorist collapsed onto the
ground with his eyes wide open and a ring of red mark on his neck.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter settling with the gangster as if he was slaughtering a chick, Jerry grabbed the two boxes which
had the ancient sword and jade in them and swiftly moved to the entrance in the blink of an eye before
the other terrorists noticed.
A goon at the entrance glared at Jerry and was about to pull the trigger.
Jerry strode up to him in a stone face and broke his neck with a high kick.
Under the exasperated gaze of the goon who was on the edge of death, Jerry bumped the sturdy door
open and left the hall like a gust of wind while the other terrorists fired their guns ruthlessly at him.
“Stop!” Dave waved his hand and yelled in a deep voice as he watched the door of the hall riddled with
bullets.
The burly Bugsy, who was standing beside Dave, stepped up and proclaimed, “Dave, I’ll go and get the
guy!”
Dave shook his head. “That’s not necessary. We should focus on our main agenda. Go and find
something to seal the door.”
After leaving the hall, Jerry sneaked into a room and hid the jade in a secret place. Then, he scurried
upstairs with the sword in his hand.
There was pin drop silence in the long corridor, but Jerry could hear a weak sound of breathing at the
end of the corridor.
With a sudden change in his expression, Jerry moved swiftly yet silently toward the source of the sound
like a predator in the forest.
At that moment, around thirty people were already gathered in a big meeting room in The Pavillion.
Most of them were guests in the hotel while only a few were the hotel’s staff.
Jacob carried Heidi and was escorted to the meeting room by a special troop officer.
Standing at the entrance of the meeting room, he frowned when he saw four armed officers standing at
each corner of the room.
Krish spotted Jacob in the meeting room and nudged Ludwig. “Look, Master Ludwig. The guy who took
the sword away from us just now!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLudwig opened his eyes and looked toward the entrance.
“I shall grab this chance to persuade him.” Krish said while standing up.
Immediately, one of the officers who was standing near Krish yelled, “You’re not allowed to stand up.
Sit still!”
Meanwhile, the officer who was escorting Jacob ordered rudely, “Don’t block the entrance. Quickly get
in!”
Jacob lowered his head to look at Heidi’s bright eyes and said gently with a smile, “Don’t be afraid.
Daddy is here, so no one can harm you.”
“Hey! Did you hear what I said?” Losing his patience, the special troop officer waved the machine gun
in his hand.
Jacob turned to look at him with a fierce glow in his eyes. “You guys are not from the Ministry of
Defense.”
“What?”
