“These ignorant fools, trapped in their own little worlds!” Bob glanced at them with disdain. “They don’t even recognize my boss and dare to speak so arrogantly!”
He was truly exasperated.
“Who exactly are you people?” The gray-robed elder who had attacked earlier looked at Billy with a serious expression. He wasn’t a fool. Just from the aura emitted by Billy’s group, he could tell that these young people were far from ordinary. Moreover, he had already sensed Ian’s cultivation level, just half a grade lower than his own. Someone of that age with such strength couldn’t be an average person.
“Dennis, don’t waste your breath with them. Kill them for me!” Rosemary Lambert, who had recovered slightly, shouted loudly. “They dared to attack me. I want them dead, I absolutely want them dead!”
“Miss, please calm down!” Dennis took a deep breath and looked at Billy again. After a brief moment, as if suddenly remembering something, his pupils contracted. Then, he asked Billy solemnly, “May I ask, is it Commander Gardner who has graced us with your presence?”
“Hmm?!” Upon hearing his words, everyone, including Rosemary Lambert, was stunned.
“Oh, it’s not easy! You finally recognized Commander Gardner!” Stout smacked his lips in response.
The opposing group took a sharp breath, their expressions changing rapidly. The most vivid expression was naturally on Rosemary Lambert’s face. She looked as if she had seen a ghost, her face as pale as if she had lost her parents. A strong sense of fear flashed in her eyes. She never expected that the person she had been arrogantly threatening to kill turned out to be the famous Commander Gardner. Today, she had forgotten to check her horoscope before leaving. How could she encounter such a great figure?
As for the onlookers, after hearing these words, a panic spread across their faces, and involuntarily, they took a step back. They had all come here for the same purpose today. If they caught the attention of Commander Gardner, they probably wouldn’t be able to return.
Dennis exhaled heavily and then slightly bowed to Billy.
“I am Dennis Lambert from Wind & Cloud Holy Sect. It’s an honor to meet you, Commander Gardner! We didn’t know it was Commander Gardner who honored us. We have offended you, and I ask you to forgive us.”
As he spoke, he felt extremely puzzled, unaware of the reason why Billy came to City L. Today, so many people had gathered in this mansion to discuss how to counter the increasingly powerful Imperial City. And Commander Gardner, without a doubt, was one of the most crucial figures in that plan. But now, the conference hadn’t even officially started yet, and Commander Gardner had already arrived on the scene. They hadn’t even started discussing countermeasures. What was the point of discussing anything?
“I want to sever one of your young lady’s arms. Do you have any objections?” Billy said, then lifted his foot and sat down in the pavilion.
“Commander Gardner, our young miss is young and inexperienced, and she didn’t know that it was you, Commander Gardner, who had come here. So, she has offended you unknowingly. I hope Commander Gardner can…” Dennis Lambert continued to take a deep breath and speak.
“Young and inexperienced, does that give her the right to treat human lives as insignificant? To kill at will?” Billy interrupted him.
Dennis Lambert exhaled a heavy breath and clenched his teeth before speaking up. “Commander Gardner, I am willing to take the punishment on behalf of her. I voluntarily offer to sacrifice an arm. Please spare her this time!”
Although he had never met Billy before, he had heard about Billy’s character. Billy was decisive, with no room for nonsense. Since he mentioned punishing Rosemary Lambert by taking away her arm, there was no way this matter would end like this.
Before Billy could respond, Dennis Lambert’s eyes narrowed. He raised his hand and sliced down towards his left arm. As his palm struck, his arm fell to the ground, severed at the shoulder, blood gushing forth.
“Mmm…” Dennis Lambert groaned, staggering back several steps, his face pale.
“Dennis!” The others’ faces changed, and they called out in unison.
“Tsk tsk, impressive!” Bob smacked his lips. “From the looks of it, her behavior must have been enabled by all of you!”
“Commander Gardner, is this enough?” Dennis Lambert, after stopping the flow of blood from his arm, looked at Billy with difficulty.
“Do I agree to let you take her punishment?” Billy calmly asked.
“Commander Gardner, you’ve gone too far!” The elderly man who had been riding in the car with Rosemary Lambert shouted angrily upon hearing Billy’s words.
“Previously, you were in the car with her, right? You are also involved in this matter!” After finishing his words, Billy’s tone grew heavy. “Casey, deal with him!”
“Alright!” Casey responded, flipping his wrist and drawing his sword.
“Are you daring to? If you dare to make a move, I guarantee you won’t leave this estate…” The elderly man shouted in anger.
“Idiot!” Casey coldly remarked, and a sharp blade swiftly swept out.
“You seek death!” The elderly man furrowed his brows, showing no intention of dodging, and exerted his full strength to block the attack.
“Clark, you are no match for him, retreat quickly!” Dennis Lambert’s face changed in urgency, and he shouted loudly. He had the intention to help, but at this moment, he was clearly overwhelmed.
Swoosh!
Without any suspense, Casey’s sword moved as if in an empty space, striking directly towards the elderly man’s chest. Following that, a deep gash appeared on the elderly man’s chest, and blood gushed out.
“You…” After struggling to utter a word, the elderly man collapsed straight down, twitching a few times before becoming still.
“Mr Clark!”
The people on the other side simultaneously exclaimed in pain. At this moment, Rosemary Lambert was already pale with fear, trembling uncontrollably. She knew that she had truly gotten herself into a big trouble today!
“Commander Gardner, you have gone too far! This is the territory of the Wind & Cloud Holy Sect, and you can’t be so reckless!” Another elderly man angrily spoke up. While speaking, he raised his hand and waved. “Attack together, fight them!”
About ten people simultaneously assumed combat stances, their faces filled with anger as they stared at Billy, ready to attack.
“Stop!” Dennis Lambert shouted loudly. He knew that even if all his people joined the fight, they probably wouldn’t be able to defeat Casey alone. It would be suicidal to engage.
“Come on, why aren’t you coming?” Stout looked at the other side and shouted coldly.
“Commander Gardner, Mr Clark has been killed by your people, and I have also lost an arm. Isn’t it time to settle this matter?” Dennis Lambert looked at Billy again.
“Give you a chance!” Billy calmly said, then pointed to Rosemary Lambert. “Let her stay. You go and fetch your sect leader. Let’s see if your sect leader has the ability to save his daughter’s arm!”
“No, I don’t want to stay here!” Rosemary Lambert immediately shouted.
“Commander Gardner, I hope you keep your word!” Dennis Lambert exhaled another heavy breath before speaking. He knew he had no choice. After finishing, he looked at Rosemary Lambert. “Miss, you stay here. We will go and get the sect leader. We’ll be back soon!”
“No!” Rosemary Lambert was already terrified and naturally didn’t dare to stay alone. After speaking, she swiftly ran to the side.
Just as she took a few steps, Ian swung his sword backward, leaving a horrifying chasm less than two meters away from her.
“Ah…” Rosemary Lambert screamed and collapsed.
