As Frostblade mentioned, since Billy was aware of the situation in Heartbreak Valley, he wouldn’t let it continue to develop. He was sure that Heartbreak Valley harbored criminals wanted by SHADOW, likely including several S-class fugitives.
“Understood!” Ian Blade and Bob Stokes nodded simultaneously.
The restaurant served the dishes quickly, and the group continued their conversation for about fifteen minutes before a table full of delicious dishes was brought to them.
“Haha, it’s been a long time since Heartbreak Valley saw such beautiful women. Today, I’m really lucky!” A loud laughter echoed as Billy’s group ate, capturing everyone’s attention.
A burly man, followed by four henchmen, approached, his eyes scanning Frostblade and Night Orchid. His Adam’s apple moved involuntarily, and a hint of amazement flashed in his pupils.
“Two beautiful ladies, how should I address you? Any interest in having a few drinks with me?” The burly man arrived, his gaze lingering on Frostblade and Night Orchid, and a sly smile appeared.
“Get lost!” Frostblade replied coldly, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Watch your words, or do you not want to live…” One of the henchmen behind the burly man scowled, pointing at Frostblade.
“Shut up!” The burly man stopped him. “Speak gently when talking to beautiful women!”
Then, he continued to look at Frostblade, licking his dry lips. “This lady’s temper suits my taste. I like it!”
“Do you want us to have a few drinks with you?” Night Orchid looked at him and smiled charmingly.
“fate brought us together. Meeting two beautiful ladies in Heartbreak Valley is our destiny. We should celebrate with a few drinks.” The burly man grinned.
“Alright!” Night Orchid smiled again. “May I know how to address you?”
“Haha, in the martial world, my brothers like to call me Mad Wanderer!” The burly man laughed heartily.
Hearing his self-introduction, a gasp echoed around them, and many people unconsciously moved away, creating some distance. They had all heard of Mad Wanderer. Not only was he formidable, but he was also extremely ruthless. He was not someone to mess with, and it was better to keep a safe distance. Many onlookers began to worry for Billy’s group. Having Mad Wanderer’s attention could spell trouble!
“Mad Wanderer, if you don’t want trouble, I advise you to leave now!” Rowan Wheatly spoke up, looking at the burly man.
“Huh?” Mad Wanderer frowned slightly, as if recognizing Rowan. “Oh, it’s you, kid. You’ve got guts, coming back to Heartbreak Valley.”
“Are you leaving or not?” Rowan Wheatly’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Kid, this has nothing to do with you today. You better shut up!” Mad Wanderer responded coldly.
“If you keep babbling, believe me, I’ll inform the higher-ups, and they’ll come deal with you!”
“You…” Rowan Wheatly’s tone grew stern, and he put down his chopsticks, preparing to take action.
“Rowan!” Night Orchid intervened, looking at him. She had already looked up Mad Wanderer’s information on her phone. After putting her phone down, she looked at Mad Wanderer. “So, you’re Mad Wanderer?”
“It seems like my name has some reputation. Even a beauty like you has heard of me?” Mad Wanderer continued to gaze at Night Orchid’s stunning beauty.
“Orchid, what’s his background?” Bob Stokes asked her.
“Mad Wanderer, real name Marsh Wilkinson, from the Wilkinson family on the southern outskirts of the capital. He was sent to a martial arts sect by his family for training since childhood.”
“Five years ago, the Wilkinson family had a conflict with another local family over business matters. Initially at a disadvantage, the Fan family suffered injuries to several core members.”
“Afterward, this family recalled Mad Wanderer from the sect. He, along with a few senior brothers, wiped out the other family, killing over a hundred people. What’s most despicable is that any female under fifty in that family was violated before being killed, including two little girls.”
“After the incident, the SHADOW authorities in the northern region surrounded the martial sect, demanding the surrender of Marsh Wilkinson.”
“However, he had already fled after hearing the news. Unexpectedly, he sought refuge in Heartbreak Valley!”
Mad Wanderer’s infamous deeds had already landed him on the SHADOWS-level wanted list, documented in the system.
“Huh?” Upon hearing Night Orchid’s words, Mad Wanderer furrowed his brows and looked at Night Orchid, asking in a deep voice, “Who are you? How do you know all this?”
At this moment, a vague feeling of unease arose in his heart, and his right eyelid twitched involuntarily.
“Boss, how do we handle this? Should we execute him?” Night Orchid ignored Mad Wanderer, turning to Billy and asking.
“Eliminate him!” Billy lifted his teacup and took a sip. Given Mad Wanderer’s infamous reputation, he deserved no mercy.
“You dare talk big. I want to see what you have to take me down!” Mad Wanderer snorted, and a powerful aura erupted from him.
Feeling the pressure, the onlookers hurriedly retreated toward the door.
“Wait, please!” Rowan spoke up at this moment.
“Wait? There’s a rule in Heartbreak Valley that people entering the town, even if they have deep-seated grudges, are not allowed to kill each other casually. Otherwise, it will be considered a violation of Heartbreak Valley’s rules, and the higher-ups will intervene…”
“Night Orchid, take action!” Billy interrupted him directly.
“Understood!” Night Orchid responded.
With a flick of her wrist, the curved blade was in her hand, and a blade light shot out like lightning.
“Damn it!” Mad Wanderer roared, raising his hand to unleash a violent force that clashed with Night Orchid’s blade aura. However, with his strength, he was no match for Night Orchid. After the blade aura passed, his arm, severed at the elbow, fell to the ground, blood spraying wildly.
“Hmm…” It was only at this moment that he sensed Night Orchid’s strength, and his pupils shrank to needle-like size. Without much thought, he turned and rushed towards the restaurant’s entrance.
“Can you escape?” Night Orchid spoke calmly. As she spoke, her wrist flicked again, and the blade aura flashed like lightning.
The blade aura directly pierced through Mad Wanderer’s waist, and he continued to run for two more steps before tumbling to the ground. Soon, a bloodline appeared, and his body lay split in two, flesh and blood blurred.
“Ah…”
The onlookers near the entrance exclaimed and quickly ran outside. They were well aware of Heartbreak Valley’s rules and knew that something big would happen here soon. If they stayed to watch the excitement, they might not be able to save their lives.
At this point, Mad Wanderer’s four followers, realizing what had happened, trembled all over and quickly turned to escape.
