“Knew that you, old man, were hiding something!” Soul Chaser snorted coldly. When Travis was talking about the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect, there was occasionally a trace of a different color in his eyes, indicating that he was still hiding something. This was also the reason Soul Chaser frightened him.
“Speak!” Billy spoke calmly.
Soul Chaser had noticed the abnormalities that Travis showed.
“Th-This matter is of great importance. I hope Commander Gardner can keep it a secret. Otherwise, I would rather die!” Travis spoke again.
“You don’t have the qualifications to negotiate with me!” Billy said coldly. “If you don’t speak, not a single person in the entire Dunn family will survive after today!”
Travis shivered. He didn’t think Billy was just making an empty threat.
“Hurry up!” Soul Chaser, with a curved knife in hand, pointed at Travis’s forehead.
Travis exhaled heavily, his eyes revealing a determined expression.
He had no choice!
After a brief pause, he looked at Billy and said, “Commander Gardner, this matter is very important, and there are too many people here…”
“Soul Chaser, clear the scene!” Billy interrupted him.
“Got it!”
Two minutes later, the entire hall was left with only Billy and the Dunn family father and daughter.
“Speak!” Billy looked at Travis.
“Commander Gardner, let me ask first. Is Azure Fang, one of the SHADOW’s Five Sharp Blades, surnamed Ray?” Travis spoke again after exhaling heavily.
Billy’s pupils contracted slightly when he heard this. After a slight pause, he continued, “What do you want to say?”
“I think I’m right!” Travis continued, “I want to talk about the vendetta of his family!”
“Are you sure?!” An extremely strong killing intent emanated from Billy involuntarily.
Everyone around him had secrets. The biggest secret about Azure Fang was his family’s vendetta.
Azure Fang, originally named Kenelm Ray, was the eldest son of the Ray family. Years ago, the Ray family ranked fifth among the top forces in the martial world.
Their Patriarch, with a cultivation at the half-step to the Sovereign Realm, relied on a set of Ray family’s unique martial arts, the Eight-Fold Fist, and was invincible throughout his life.
Over a decade ago, one night, the Ray family compound was attacked by four masked men. Each of them had a strength above the later stages of the War God-Emperor. Their actions were extremely brutal, without any trace of humanity. Hundreds of people in the compound were killed. In the chaos, Azure Fang, hit unconscious by the Ray family’s elder, was hidden among the corpses of the Ray family members, miraculously escaping the massacre. At that time, their Patriarch was in seclusion on the back mountain, attempting to break through to the Sovereign Realm. When he learned of the situation and rushed to the compound, the Ray family’s compound was already covered in corpses and rivers of blood.
Originally because of his eagerness to achieve success in breaking through to the Sovereign Realm, after seeing the situation in the compound, the Patriarch suffered a backlash of Chi and blood, leading to his fall into demonic cultivation. In the end, he was beheaded by a strong enemy.
Azure Fang woke up the next morning, seeing that all his family members had turned into cold corpses, and tears of blood flowed from his eyes. From a young age, he had been greatly expected by the patriarch. Although he was only in his teens at that time, both his intellect and martial skills far exceeded those of his peers. He forced himself to survive, vowing to avenge his family and take revenge for the extermination of his family. In the next few years, he began a life of wandering and hardship, traveling through various mountainous areas within Glavale. On one hand, he sought a living, and on the other hand, he seized every opportunity to cultivate. He wanted to become stronger as soon as possible. In fact, when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he had already perfected the Eight-Fold Fist of the Ray family to its peak. However, he dared not reveal it in front of outsiders. He was well aware that the enemies who killed his father and grandfather had at least a cultivation at the later stages of the God-Emperor realm, or even the half-step to the Sovereign Realm. With his strength at that time, if he exposed his identity, he would have absolutely no chance of surviving.
Later, in a fortuitous opportunity, he entered Glavale’s War Department. People around him knew that he was an orphan. Except for Billy, no one knew his true identity. He didn’t even tell Frostblade about it. Billy had been secretly investigating the Ray family’s affairs for years, but there was no result until now.
Hearing Travis mention this matter, it attracted enough attention from Billy.
Stout and Soul Chaser, upon hearing this matter, both showed surprised expressions. Although they didn’t know Azure Fang’s identity, they could sense the intense killing intent from Billy and knew that this matter was not trivial.
“Who did it?” Billy continued to ask Travis.
“Back then, the one who… who exterminated the Ray family was the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect…” Travis spoke again after taking a deep breath.
The killing intent that emanated from Billy became even more intense.
“How do you know Azure Fang is from the Ray family?” Billy took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions.
Over the years, only he and Azure Fang knew about the latter’s background. He was clear that Travis must have learned this from Azure Fang himself.
“I just guessed it just now.” Travis spoke again.
“Some time ago, I accidentally overheard the Grand Elder of the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect mentioning that they were sending someone to investigate Azure Fang’s background. Since I happen to know about their attack on the Ray family back then, I guessed that he might be a survivor of the Ray family. As for how the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect suspected him, I don’t know. Before this, only my father and I knew about this in the Dunn family.” Travis responded.
“If you want to keep your family safe, it’s best to keep it yourself. Or no one can save the Dunn family!” Billy said with a threatening voice.
“Please rest assured, Commander Gardner. With my life as a guarantee, I will never reveal it!” Travis hurriedly responded. From Billy’s words, Travis could sense that the Dunn family had barely passed this trial. As for Azure Fang’s identity, even without Billy’s reminder, he wouldn’t dare to mention it.
Two minutes later, Billy led Stout and Soul Chaser out of the restaurant courtyard.
“Boss, is Azure Fang really from the Ray family?” Stout asked. Although he didn’t know Azure Fang’s background, he had heard his grandfather mention the Ray family’s matter.
