“I’ve already stated the conditions earlier, do I need to repeat myself?” Billy responded nonchalantly.
“I hope you keep your word!” Imogen Davidson’s eyes flashed with determination. Then, she looked at the remaining four royalist members and said, “Lord Curtis, kill the people from Northfortia and Xidengia!”
“How dare you! Are you trying to rebel?” Handt and Ulric Tyler both shouted in anguish.
“Your Majesty?” The four royalist members were momentarily stunned.
Oliver Davidson let out a heavy breath and took a few steps forward before sweeping his palm toward Handt. In an instant, Handt’s head exploded like a ripe melon, convulsed a few times, and fell silent.
The ministers of Veridiania collectively sucked in a breath of cold air.
“Kill them all!” Immediately after, Oliver Davidson waved his hand at the four royalist members. For him, although killing Handt and his group would bring Veridiania a great deal of trouble, he had no other choice. He knew very well that if he didn’t kill the people from Northfortia and Xidengia today, the high-ranking ministers of Veridiania might not see the sun tomorrow. Even whether he could keep his own life was uncertain.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The four royalist members didn’t hesitate any longer, vigorously nodded, and then charged forward.
“Damn it, how dare you kill us! I promise you, Veridiania…” a man from Northfortia shouted defiantly. However, before he could even finish his sentence, a gust of wind passed by and he was sent flying, crashing to the ground with his head tilted to the side, lifeless.
“Run!” Others shouted at the same time, and then one by one, they fled in all directions.
“Take action together, kill them all!” Watching the crowd fleeing in all directions, Oliver Davidson waved his hand at the ministers. Since he had already made up his mind to kill, he wouldn’t let anyone escape. He even planned to kill them all, and then fabricate a reason to shift the blame onto Glavale.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The ministers responded and quickly chased after them.
In less than five minutes, everyone, including Ulric Tyler, was killed, not one survived.
“Commander Gardner, is it enough now?” Imogen Davidson then looked at Billy and spoke with a chilling tone.
“Not yet!” Billy shook his head.
“What else do you want?” One of the Veridiania ministers shouted angrily, “Don’t go too far, we can fight to the death if necessary!”
“Idiot!” Stout replied, “With just you people, what qualifications do you have to fight to the death with us?”
“You…” the elder spoke in anger.
“Lord Morrison!” Oliver Davidson interrupted and then looked at Billy, “Commander Gardner, what else do you want?”
“You have two choices!” Billy calmly spoke, “Either you cripple your own cultivation, or those four old-timers cripple theirs. Choose one!”
Four old-timers in his mouth were the four members of the royalist members.
“You’re a damn fool!” The minister who had just spoken shouted angrily again.
Before he finished speaking, Fabian Mills slapped him and sent him flying a distance of two or three hundred meters, leaving him lying on the ground unable to get up for a while.
“You guys have gone too far, I’ll fight you!” Veridiania’s Prime Minister shouted loudly, making a gesture to attack Billy and the others.
“Prime Minister!” Oliver Davidson stopped him. Then, with a cold gaze, he looked at Billy and said word by word, “Commander Gardner, I hope this is your final condition! Otherwise, even if it costs the lives of all of us, we will fight you to the death!”
Ten minutes later, Billy and his team walked out of the Imperial City and boarded a helicopter to fly to the eastern border of Glavale. The four members of the royalist members were the ones who gave up their cultivation. They obviously couldn’t let their sovereign give up his cultivation.
This trip to Veridiania, barely achieved Billy’s goal, Veridiania’s elite combat power suffered some losses.
“Boss, why didn’t you just kill Oliver Davidson the old thief? That would have solved everything!” Stout asked with a smack of his lips on the helicopter.
Casey coughed and said, “Stout, keeping him alive is more valuable than killing him!”
“What do you mean?” Stout scratched his head.
“If we kill Oliver Davidson, Veridiania will definitely retaliate. Although Glavale is not afraid of Veridiania, there’s no need to invite unnecessary trouble.” Casey responded.
“He ordered the killing of two royal relatives from Northfortia and Xidengia today. Keeping him alive allows him to negotiate with the two countries.”
“Alright!” Stout nodded, seemingly understanding, “But he probably won’t admit that it was them who killed the people in Northfortia, right?”
“That’s up to us!” Casey took out his phone and shook it. “The whole conversation is recorded in here!”
“What? That’s possible?” Stout’s eyes lit up, and Fabian Mills raised an eyebrow as well.
“Casey, go back and edit the recording a bit, send it to the undercover agents from Northfortia and Xidengia, they know how to handle it.” Billy instructed.
“Got it!” Casey nodded in response. After a slight pause, he continued, “Boss, that woman, Imogen Davidson, is not simple. Be a little cautious.”
Billy narrowed his eyes slightly, “Notify our undercover agents in Veridiania to keep an eye on her and report any unusual activities.”
“Understood!” Casey nodded again.
…
In the following days, Billy and his team visited five or six countries, including Oriana and Nanrania. Just like Veridiania, these countries resisted fiercely at first and had dozens of conflicts with Billy and his team. However, after Billy killed many Sovereigns, they became obedient.
It was not easy for these small countries to cultivate a Sovereign. Losing even one was a huge loss. They knew very well that if the fighting continued, Commander Gardner would probably kill all their Sovereign experts. Therefore, including Oriana, they all expressed their willingness to accept compensation to avoid further conflict. From then on, these countries suffered heavy losses and would probably not dare to provoke trouble in the short term, unless they wanted to perish!
A week later, Billy and Stout returned to Ozin while Fabian Mills and Casey went their separate ways.
“Harleen, still awake?”
Around eleven o’clock at night, Billy entered the house and saw Harleen sitting on the couch, flipping through a pile of documents. Before he came home, Billy had called Harleen to let her know he would be coming home tonight.
“Billy, you’re back!” Harleen’s face brightened when she saw Billy and got up to greet him. Then, in a soft voice, she said, “I couldn’t sleep until you came home, so I took the time to catch up on the work I owed for the company.”
“Don’t tire yourself out too much!” Billy smiled.
“I’m not tired!” Harleen shook her head gently.
“Billy, go freshen up first, I’ll finish the rest and then we can go to bed together.”
“Alright!” Billy looked meaningfully at his beloved and smiled.
“Rogue husband, I mean we can chat in bed!” Harleen blushed and playfully scolded.
