“Hmm?” Hearing Billy’s question, Azure Fang couldn’t help but feel a jolt. He didn’t understand why Billy suddenly brought up this matter. It was a secret between him and Billy, and he had never mentioned it to anyone before. It wasn’t about distrust; it just didn’t seem meaningful to bring it up before. Also, Azure Fang wasn’t much of a talker, so he kept it to himself.
Now, hearing Billy bring it up, Azure Fang, knowing Billy well, was sure that there was a reason behind it.
“Azure Fang, Boss has found the mastermind behind the attack on the Ray family.” Soul Chaser said with a serious expression.
Boom! Hearing this, an extremely terrifying aura erupted from Azure Fang. The wooden chair beneath him shattered as if it were made of paper. In the next moment, Azure Fang’s eyes turned crimson, veins popped on his forehead, and his body trembled uncontrollably with a suffocating murderous intent filling the air.
“Azure Fang, what’s wrong with you?” Frostblade, surprised, walked over to Azure Fang with a worried look.
Casey, Azure Dragon, and others also looked at Azure Fang in surprise. They were unaware of Azure Fang’s connection to the Ray family, so they were puzzled by his intense reaction.
“Boss, is what Soul Chaser said true?” Azure Fang didn’t respond to Frostblade, looking directly at Billy and asking one word at a time.
“Azure Fang, calm down.” Billy nodded slightly.
“Was it done by people from Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect?” Azure Fang continued in a low voice.
From Billy’s previous words, he had a vague guess. Billy suddenly deciding to go to the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect meant there was a special reason behind it. Now, hearing Soul Chaser’s words, he speculated that there must be a connection between these two events.
“Azure Fang, calm down. Sir down.” Frostblade pulled over a chair from the side.
Azure Fang took a deep breath, forcefully calming his emotions.
“Boss, how did you find out?” After a while, Azure Fang, now composed, looked at Billy and asked.
“Let me explain!” Soul Chaser said. He then detailed what happened at the restaurant under the Dunn family.
“Hmm?” After listening, everyone finally understood why Azure Fang had reacted so strongly just now.
Frostblade, sitting beside Azure Fang, tightly held his hand, and a layer of mist appeared in her eyes. She knew that Azure Fang had been an orphan since childhood, but she never thought he had such a painful past.
“Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect!” Azure Fang, who had finally calmed down, became agitated again. His eyes turned crimson, and he gritted his teeth. “I must make them pay for their blood debts!”
“Azure Fang, calm down. Listen to Boss’s arrangement.” Frostblade took a deep breath and spoke with a slightly choked voice.
“Soul Chaser, call and ask our brothers over there. See if there are any movements from the Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect these days!” Billy then turned to Soul Chaser and said.
Since that day when they left the restaurant under the Dunn family, he had asked Soul Chaser to investigate the location of Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect and had arranged a hundred SHADOW brothers to monitor it.
“Okay!” Soul Chaser responded and took out his phone to make a call.
About two minutes later, after hanging up the phone, he looked at Billy and said, “Boss, there has been significant activity at Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect these past two days. It seems like they’ve called back all the elder-level figures scattered outside the sect. According to the speculations of our brothers there, the sect might be furious because their people sent to the ancient city were all killed. They’ve called back their people, possibly planning to gather their forces and question us in the capital!”
“A bunch of parasites of the nation. They dare to question us in the capital?” Stout was speechless.
“Let our brothers investigate further, see when they are planning to leave!” After a brief contemplation, Billy instructed.
“Already investigated. If nothing unexpected happens, they should set out tomorrow!” Soul Chaser responded again.
“Very well!” Billy nodded slightly.
After some thought, he turned to Vermilion Bird and said, “Vermilion Bird, within today, deploy a hundred thousand Bloodshadow guards near Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect’s mountain gate.”
“Got it!” Vermilion Bird nodded vigorously.
“Boss, when are we setting out?” Azure Dragon asked.
“After lunch!” Billy finished speaking and then turned to Bob and Ian.
“Bob, Ian, you two don’t need to go. Go back to the capital with Ivy.”
“Boss, let us go with you!” Both of them, surprised, spoke at the same time.
“No need for so many people! Besides, both of you, like Ivy, have official duties and cannot be absent for a long time.”
“Moreover, for the next period, pay more attention to the people and events in the capital. If there is any abnormality, call me immediately!”
“Boss, what do you mean? Have you discovered something?” Bob asked after a moment of surprise.
“It’s just a premonition for now. I can’t specify what it is. Both of you and Ivy should be more vigilant!” Billy responded.
“Alright!” Both nodded simultaneously.
“Oh, Boss, what about the princess from Northfortia, who is still imprisoned in Central Sky Office? Execute her?” Bob suddenly brought up this topic.
Judge and Stout both coughed.
“Let her go!” After a brief thought, Billy responded.
“Boss, that woman is not someone to be taken lightly. Releasing her may bring trouble, don’t you think?” Bob continued.
“Bob, listen to Boss!” Without waiting for Billy to respond, Casey interjected.
“According to the information from our informant, this woman named Linda is highly favored by her father. If we just kill her like this, it might cause some trouble. Yesterday, I heard that they’ve been negotiating with General Wilson over this matter, asking us to release her.”
“What have we to fear? If they have the ability…” Bob cursed
“Now is not the best time for a full-scale conflict with them!” Billy interrupted him. “For Glavale, the most important thing in the coming period is to welcome the arrival of the National Destiny. Before that, all disputes with other countries can be temporarily set aside!”
“Alright.” Bob shrugged his shoulders.
At around 5 p. m., Billy, accompanied by Casey and others, appeared outside a small town built against the mountains in the northern part of Glavale. The town was surrounded by mountains, with continuous mountain ranges. A winding mountain road led to the outside world. This small town was located at the foot of Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect’s gate. Nearly half of the residents in the town had various connections with the sect.
