Echoes of urgent footsteps reverberated down the corridor.

“Oh no! A doctor’s been kidnapped!” someone cried out.

“Three officers from the Office of Inspector General were stabbed; there’s blood everywhere!”

another voice sobbed in fear.

It finally dawned on Caspian, Willow, and Zoey that a nurse had been kidnapped outside.

Chaos engulfed the entire hospital, with people fleeing in fear of being caught up in the

turmoil.

Several spectators lingered at a safe distance, intrigued by the unfolding drama. After

all, numerous spectators were unafraid and eager to witness the spectacle.

Willow and Zoey followed Caspian to trace the sound of the incident.

Upon reaching the hospital lobby, they found it was tightly besieged.

“Get me a car right now, or this doctor won’t survive!” A menacing voice pierced the air from

the crowd.

It was clear that the criminal was gearing up for an escape.

Seeing the danger escalate, Willow and Zoey felt an even stronger urge to look closer. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“I can’t see what’s happening inside!” Zoey sounded anxious.

“Caspian, please think of a way to let us see what’s happening inside,” Willow urged.

“Alright, let me clear a path for it!” Caspian understood the extreme danger of the situation. He knew they

couldn’t afford further delays. Otherwise, the doctor’s life would be at stake.

As a warrior, he couldn’t stand idly by in such a situation.

“What? You said you can get through with so many people surrounding him?” Zoey asked with skepticis

m.

“Just follow me,” Caspian said confidently. He spread his arms and shouted, “Step back, everyone! Give

us some space!”

Upon hearing Caspian’s command, the spectators willingly cleared a path.

As he led Willow and Zoey to the center of the lobby, they spotted a menacing man holding a doctor as h

is hostage. His hand tightly gripped the doctor’s neck and used a shard of glass pressed against the doct

or’s throat.

On the floor lay two severely injured inspectors who sprawled in a pool of blood. Their lives were hanging

on by a thread.

Another inspector managed to stay conscious despite being stabbed. He gritted his teeth through the pai

n as he dialed a phone number.

The chaos was orchestrated by a fraudster, William.

The previous night, as he was about to carry out a fraudulent scheme, he was caught red-

handed by the inspectors from the Office of Inspector General.

In the struggle that ensued, he fiercely resisted and sustained critical injuries from a female inspector, Jo

ey Sanders.

Subsequently, the inspectors rushed him to the hospital for treatment.

In a shocking turn of events during his medical examination, he smashed an IV bottle, wielding the glass

shards as weapons to attack two inspectors.

In the chaos, he seized the female doctor and took her hostage in the process.

The female doctor was Carmen. She had graduated two years ago and worked as an intern now.

“You have ten minutes! If I don’t see a car outside in ten minutes, this doctor’s life is on the line!” William

shouted at the inspector lying on the ground.

“I’ve already reported it to the higher–

ups. Someone will be here with the car soon. Please try to stay calm,” the inspector replied.

Although Caspian held a low opinion of the Office of Inspector General in Southlake City, he recognized t

hat some people were innocent.

There were both righteous and villainous individuals

within the organization. Most inspectors tended to be just and fair.

As the Diatoranian God of War, Caspian couldn’t stand by and watched innocent lives being threatened.

He was eager to rescue Carmen when he saw the dangerous situation she was in.

However, William was volatile now. It wasn’t the right time to act because one wrong move could put Car

men’s life at risk.

“Why haven’t the inspectors arrived yet? I hope nothing happens to this female doctor as she has a prom

ising future. It’s heartbreaking to think she might face such tragedy.” Willow expressed her anxiety when

observing the dire condition of Carmen.

Carmen was so young and talented. It would be a shame if her life took such a tragic turn. because of Wi

lliam.

“And those inspectors from the Office of Inspector General are taking far too long! It’s been ages, and the

y still haven’t come to rescue her!” Zoey also felt a sense of urgency.

At that moment, a remarkable

female inspector dressed in the Office of Inspector General uniform entered the hospital lobby.

This extraordinary woman was Joey, the esteemed captain of the investigative team.

It was Joey who had injured William just the day before. She had arrived to assess the situation with the

criminal, utterly unaware of the impending chaos.

As she reached the lobby, she observed the tightly packed crowd and felt an immediate sense of urgency

.

“Clear the way! Please step aside if you’re

uninvolved with the situation!” she shouted to command the crowd to make space.

Joey quickly made her way through the crowd. Upon arriving at the lobby’s center, she discovered two of

her colleagues lying unconscious on the ground.

At that moment, William held a small glass shard against Carmen’s neck. Joey was infuriated, so she swi

ftly drew her handgun.

“Release the hostage immediately! Or I’ll shoot you dead!” Joey shouted while pointing her gun at Willia

m.

“If you’ve got the guts, go ahead and shoot me! I won’t hesitate to kill this doctor right now!” William was

driven to desperation and had no more options. The hostage was his only

leverage.

Joey hesitated to shoot prematurely after knowing William’s readiness to take drastic

measures.

“Don’t act impulsively. We’ll do our best to meet your demands,” she said as she attempted to placate the

“We’re getting the car ready. Please stay calm,” Joey said.
