CHAPTER 462

Tanner tried to leave but a dagger was suddenly pressed against his neck before he could do so.

“Nobody is leaving this place without the legate’s permission. Anyone who tries will be executed.”

Tanner trembled profusely but tried to put on a strong front as he retreated. He was surrounded, his text messages blocked, and his orders unable to be dispatched. The only thing he could do now was to wait and pray that his men down there would be able to kill the legate. Otherwise, he was in for a whole lot of trouble.

Seeing this, Daniel could not stop himself from letting out a laugh and said, “I get the feeling that you’re treating us locals like idiots, Mr. Tanner. Anyway, today is a good opportunity to show you just how powerful our legate is.”

Tanner pretended to not understand what Daniel was saying and sounded a lot friendlier as he said, “General Daniel, I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Maybe there’s some misunderstanding between us? Since the legate is here, why don’t you inform him that I’d like to treat him to a feast somewhere else?”

“You’d like to treat him to a feast, eh?”

Daniel laughed till tears rolled down his cheeks. “Save it. The localls here live by a certain rule-never offend someone who hasn’t done anything to deserve it but pay them back a hundred fold if they do.

“Right now, you should pray to your God that the legate dies down there or fails to find anything. Otherwise, you won’t get out of this mess alive.”

Tanner broke out in cold sweat as he realized he was caught in a deathtrap with no escape route in sight, while Daniel

remained silent and waited.

At this moment, Adrian, Vivian, and Bram were steadily moving down a path that was extremely wide and well-lit. It was rather long since it led all the way to the outskirts of Swallowston.

Vivian was clearly on edge as she stood behind Adrian and carefully monitored the surroundings. Bram, on the other hand, was busy admiring the gun in his hands.

Vivian shot Bram a reminder by saying, “Stop fiddling with that. You might cause it to misfire if you’re not careful!”

“Relax, I know what I’m doing. I’ve been playing with guns since I was three years old.”

However, right after Bram said this, a shot was fired. The bullet flew out from his gun’s muzzle and hit the wall. He then dropped the gun, his eyes wide open as he trembled in shock.

Vivian, too, was terrified as her legs shook. She kicked Bram and said, “I told you not to fiddle with it!”

Bram picked up his gun with an embarrassed look on his face.

Right at that moment, Adrian said, “You two stay here. Someone’s coming’

H owns all content.

Vivian was terrified when she heard this, and so was Bram. After all, who would not be despite all the bravado he had shown?

At that moment, Adrian pulled out his daggers and said, “Get down.”

Vivian and Bram immediately did as they were told. Adrian wasted no time and dashed forward. He was so fast that he left behind a mirage of himself.

The sound of rushed footsteps from the other end of the tunnel got closer as the Luposians inside the hub tried to capture the three intruders alive as per their orders.

However, they were unaware that the intruders were prepared for them.
