Chapter 971

“Alright. Just bring us for a tour then,” said Ryker.

“Okay.” Nancy quickly agreed.

She was hoping to obtain some news about her hero from them.

Nancy led them along the tourist route.

However, she realized that these people seemed to be in a hurry, as they could not care less about the beautiful scenery surrounding them.

Nancy introduced the scenic spots to them, but they barely paid her any attention, as they appeared completely disinterested.

These people are really odd.

Nancy quickly dismissed the idea of inquiring about her hero, since she speculated that they would refuse to give her the time of day if she posed this question to them.

When they arrived at a more secluded area, Ryker abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Nancy curiously queried, “Is something wrong?”

“I’m just tired and I need some rest,” Ryker answered.

Nancy was speechless.

I’m a woman, but you don’t see me huffing and puffing. Meanwhile, you military guys are complaining about being tired, and need to take a break?

What a bunch of losers.

You guys aren’t even worthy to carry my hero’s sandals.

Everyone lowered themselves to sit on the ground.

Ryker asked, “Is this tourist spot of yours safe?”

“Of course. All of the wild animals have been evicted, and all the hidden safety hazards have undergone a thorough inspection, to which reinforcements have been implemented. Hence, it’s completely safe,” Nancy reassured.

“That’s not what I meant,” Ryker corrected her.

“There are no bandits or robbers here, are there?”

Nancy was unaware of how to react to his absurd question. “What century are we in already? How can there be bandits and robbers?”

A meaningful smile took residence on Ryker’s face. “That’s not necessarily true.”

“Do you really think we’re here for a vacation? You couldn’t be more wrong.”

“I heard some people say that there were bandits and robbers around the area, so I specifically visited, to get rid of them.”

Nancy could barely stifle her laughter.

I’m a Riverdale local. Why have I never heard about bandits and robbers roaming around the area?

You guys came on a vacation using this as an excuse, right?

While Nancy was distracted, Ryker took out his phone and sent a message, move out!

Five minutes later, a group of masked brawny men swarmed out and surrounded them.

Each of these strong-looking men had a gun in their hands, pointing them at Ryker and the rest.

Their leader was a one-eyed man who called himself Cyclops.

He yelled fiercely, “Get on your knees with your hands behind your head!”

“Who are you? How did you get in?” Nancy was terrified.

Cyclops sneered and muttered, “Ms. Hinton, you sure do have a flair for acting dumb.”

“Don’t pretend that you don’t know us. We’re the bandits around the area, and we’ve even worked together before.”

Nancy’s face paled. “Bulls***! I don’t even know you!”

“Damn you, Nancy Hinton! You’d colluded with these bandits,” Ryker cursed viciously.

“It seems that we were right, to come this time.”

Nancy started to panic and struggled to form a coherent sentence, “They... They’re lying... We’ve never had any bandits here...”

“Hmph! I’ll deal with you later,” Ryker growled in a low voice.

“Listen up. We are from the Atheville Military District, and I am Major General Ryker Lewis.”

“I suggest that you lay down your weapons and surrender. Cooperate if you want to live, because resistance will only make things worse for you!”

Cyclops scoffed with disdain, “I don’t care if you’re a major general or an admiral. You’re nothing but an ant beneath my boot.”

“Throw all of your valuables over to me. If you don’t have money, you’ll pay with your life.”

Ryker immediately ordered, “Throw all of your valuables to them. Where there’s life, there’s hope. Our lives are what matters the most.”
