“You’re so sure he would tell you everything?” Billy smiled faintly.
“As the head of Heartbreak Valley, I still have some confidence!” Scarletwind Cohen smiled as well.
“Is that so?” Billy spoke again, his lips curving into a smile. “Are you sure you’re the head of Heartbreak Valley?”
“Huh?!” Hearing this, including Ivy and others, there was a chorus of surprise. In the eyes of both Silent Annihilation Monk and Scarletwind Cohen, a hint of surprise flickered.
“I don’t quite understand the meaning of your words, Commander Gardner!” Scarletwind Cohen took a deep breath and continued.
“Don’t understand? Let me explain!” Billy smiled again and spoke.
“Although you’ve hidden your cultivation, unfortunately, I can still detect your true strength, a Half-Step War God-Emperor!”
“For ordinary people, you’re already quite good. However, it doesn’t fit the identity of the Valley Master of Heartbreak Valley, does it?”
“What a fake!” Stout cursed.
Although he didn’t know how Billy could discern the opponent’s martial cultivation, he believed Billy wouldn’t make things up. If he said so, it was probably true. And if the opponent truly only had the strength of Half-Step War God-Emperor, it was unquestionably impossible for him to be the Valley Master of Heartbreak Valley. According to Stout’s understanding, the Valley Master must be at least a complete War God-Emperor.
“What kind of person are you?” Ivy also asked at the same time.
After hearing Billy’s words, she was now convinced that the other party was definitely a fake! Rowan Wheatly and others also frowned, looking at Scarletwind Cohen with doubt.
“It is the first time I being questioned about my identity!” Scarletwind Cohen’s eyes flickered with surprise and continued.
“Commander Gardner, you’re right. My current cultivation is indeed only at the Half-Step War God-Emperor level! But that’s because not long ago, when I was trying to break through, I was too hasty, almost fell into a demonic path, and my cultivation regressed instead of advancing, falling directly to the Half-Step level!”
“Still not admitting it?” Billy’s eyes narrowed again as he spoke. “Although your disguise technique is not bad, it hasn’t reached the level of perfection. Your facial expressions are too stiff, not in sync with your eyes.”
“In addition, when I pointed out that you were a fake, your eyes had already betrayed you!”
“Damn it, who are you? What have you done to the Valley Master?” Hearing this, Rowan Wheatly turned to Scarletwind Cohen and asked sternly.
At this moment, he was absolutely sure that the person in front of him was a fake!
Putting aside the credibility of Commander Gardner’s words, just considering the Valley Master’s unusual reactions in recent years, it was worth suspecting!
In recent years, the Valley Master, who used to be ambitious, had basically entered a semi-reclusive state, rarely showing up in public. Most of the affairs in Heartbreak Valley, big and small, were handled by Silent Annihilation Monk.
At first, Rowan Wheatly was puzzled. Based on his understanding of the Valley Master, the former ambitious Valley Master should not have had such a personality. For this reason, he had talked to the Valley Master twice, but the latter told him that he had more important matters to attend to and temporarily handed over the affairs of Heartbreak Valley to him and Silent Annihilation Monk. He told Rowan Wheatly that if there was anything, he could directly discuss it with Silent Annihilation Monk.
At the time, Rowan Wheatly didn’t think too much about it, and over time, the slight doubts in his heart were completely dispelled. Now, hearing Billy’s words and thinking about the events of these years, he naturally had an answer in his heart.
Just then, with a splash, the four to five hundred people following behind Rowan Wheatly also moved simultaneously. Everyone drew their weapons, staring at Scarletwind Cohen with tension.
“Insolence!” At this moment, Silent Annihilation Monk spoke angrily. “Rowan Wheatly, what do you want? Are you intending to rebel by believing the words of an outsider?!”
“You actually believe an outsider’s words to doubt the true identity of the Valley Master. It seems like you’re getting more and more reckless!”
“Silent, is this your doing?” Rowan Wheatly frowned and responded.
“Is this fake Valley Master your person? Did you make him a puppet Valley Master so that you could control Heartbreak Valley completely?”
He wasn’t a fool. With a little thought, he could roughly guess the root of the matter!
“Rowan Wheatly, I see you’re really going astray! To actually dare to question the identity of the Valley Master!” At this moment, Scarletwind Cohen spoke with anger.
“Come, capture Rowan Wheatly and take him down!” Silent Annihilation Monk ordered.
“Received!” As he spoke, four elderly men walked out from behind him. Two of them were Tier-two War God-Emperors, and the other two were Tier-one War God-Emperors.
“You dare!” Behind Rowan Wheatly, four men also walked out. They were all Tier-one War God-Emperor.
These eight people were the eight elders of Heartbreak Valley and the core members of Heartbreak Valley.
“Are you gonna go your own way?” Scarletwind Cohen angrily shouted at Rowan Wheatly.
“Valley Master, there are indeed many suspicious points in this matter. I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation!” The white-haired elder spoke up.
“Elder Ma, what kind of explanation do you need? What qualifications do you have to ask the Valley Master for an explanation?” A blue-robed elder responded with a cold voice.
“Grand Elder, you’ve been with Heartbreak Valley for so many years, and you’re one of the most trusted people of the Valley Master. If even you betray him, it’s truly heartbreaking!” The old man surnamed Ma took a deep breath before addressing the other person.
The man in the blue robe snorted. “It’s because I am the person the Valley Master trusts the most that I won’t allow anyone to question him!”
“Clearly, Commander Gardner is trying to sow discord among us in Heartbreak Valley. You old fools are following Guild Master Revenge into a mess, despite the Valley Master treating you so well before!”
“Elder, how much benefit did Silent Annihilation Monk give you four to make you collectively betray the Valley Master?” Revenge’s eyes turned icy as he spoke.
“Guild Master, please mind your words. The one betraying the Valley Master is you!” The man in the blue robe responded in a deep voice. After a brief pause, he continued, “Considering that you’re also thinking for the good of Heartbreak Valley, I’ll give you one last chance.”
“Take down Commander Gardner and his people immediately. I will plead with the Valley Master to show mercy and spare you this time.”
“Grand Elder, you truly are heart-wrenching!” Revenge took a deep breath and then shouted to his followers, “Everyone, follow orders! Capture that impostor Valley Master!”
“Understood!” Elder Ma and his people responded simultaneously.
“Revenge, are you really going to go against everyone? You…” The man in the blue robe interrupted him with another stern voice.
“Grand Elder, don’t waste time with them. Since they want to rebel, let’s clean up the mess for the Valley Master!” Silent Annihilation Monk cut in, abruptly ending the conversation.
“Take down the four elders. Revenge is for me to handle!”
“Understood!” The man in the blue robe nodded vigorously.
With a crash, as the two spoke, including the one thousand followers, both sides immediately entered a state of readiness.
“Is this how it’s going to be?” Soul Chaser on the side exclaimed. Then he looked at Billy and asked, “Boss, should we take action?”
