“Die!” Azure Fang furrowed his brows and raised his sword to meet the attack.
Bob and Ian, who were sitting near him, also stood up and joined the fight. At the same time, the elderly man with the highest cultivation level, a Second-rank Saint old man, swiftly rushed towards the dining table.
“Know your place!” Casey’s brows slightly furrowed. Without any hesitation, he swung his sword towards the man.
“Get lost!” The elderly man clearly didn’t take Casey seriously and unleashed a powerful palm strike.
Bang!
After their attacks collided, both parties took several steps back.
“Hmm?” After stabilizing his stance, the elderly man furrowed his brows. “I didn’t expect you to have some skills!”
After speaking, his aura soared once again, and he shouted loudly, “If you dare to take another strike from me, I will immediately spare the young master…”
“You’re really noisy!” Amber interrupted, speaking up once more. Following that, she expertly flipped her wrist, and the small teacup in her hand shot towards the man with thunderous force.
“Huh?!”
It was only at this moment that the elderly man finally sensed the martial aura emanating from Amber. His pupils contracted in surprise. Without much time to think, he quickly activated his chi energy to form a defensive barrier and raised his hand to counter with a powerful gust of wind. However, he clearly underestimated Amber’s strength.
The teacup easily tore through his attack and defensive barrier, piercing through his right shoulder blade, blood gushing out. After being pushed back several tens of meters, the elderly man crashed into the wall, spewing out a mouthful of blood.
“You’re… so strong.” After stabilizing his stance, the elderly man glanced at the wound on his shoulder, his face turning pale. He was well aware that he was still alive only because Amber had shown mercy. Otherwise, he would have been a lifeless corpse by now.
Seeing their strongest member being easily defeated like this, the remaining members of the opposing party stopped their actions. Their faces were filled with shock.
“If you don’t leave, no one will!” Amber glanced at the group.
“You… just you wait! I’ll make you know the consequences of your actions!” the youth shouted before quickly running towards the door.
The rest of the group didn’t hesitate either and followed suit.
“Boss, they are from the central area, but they are probably not from Northfortia. It’s likely related to the elders of the Guardians,” Azure Dragon said, looking at Billy. “Why didn’t you keep them here?”
“Just a few small fry, killing them all wouldn’t make a difference!” Casey replied on behalf of Billy.
“Rest assured, with that young master’s character, the big fish will soon appear!”
“Let’s eat first!” Billy said afterward.
Azure Dragon could see what was happening, and he had already figured out that this group was definitely connected to the Guardians. Initially, he hadn’t planned to go after the Guardians so soon, but since they had willingly come to him, he was happy to oblige. A new idea began to form in his mind.
Afterward, everyone resumed their meal. After about an hour, they paid the bill and left.
“Boss, should we go straight to the hotel?” Azure Fang asked when they reached the entrance of the restaurant.
“The big fish should be here!” Amber narrowed her eyes, staring ahead.
“Huh?” Casey and the others were slightly confused.
“You guys are really audacious!” At the same time, a voice from an elderly man sounded.
Soon after, an elderly man in his sixties led a group of people and walked over from a short distance away, with the white youth among them. Billy assessed the cultivation level of the leading elderly man, a Fourth-rank Saint. Apart from him, the two people following closely behind him had the strength of Third-rank Saints.
“Father, it’s them!” The youth pointed his finger at Billy’s group angrily.
“Are you from Glavale?” The leading elderly man glanced at Billy’s group coldly.
“I suppose you are one of the five members of the Guardians’ Elder Council?” Casey took a step forward and said calmly, “Do you want to defend your son?”
“You people from Glavale are quite impressive!” The leading elderly man didn’t respond to Casey’s words.
“Not only did you severely injure the Eastern Provincial Governor of the Guardians, but you also directly killed the Northern Provincial Governor. I really don’t know where you get your courage!” the elderly leader sneered.
“And then?” Casey continued to inquire.
“Seeing that each of you has formidable skills, I assume your status in Glavale is not low,” the elderly leader continued. “Originally, we were planning to wait until the end of the upcoming elections in the Eastern Polar Domain to come and talk to you folks! But since you’ve come to the Western Polar Domain today, that’s even better. Come with me! After today’s elections are over, come with us to the eastern part tomorrow!”
“Are you planning to use us as hostages?” Azure Dragon asked.
“You have two choices!” the elderly leader spoke again. “Either willingly come with us, or I will cripple your cultivation and then take you away. Take your pick. You decide!”
“What an old fool!” Azure Dragon replied, exasperated.
“How dare you insult Elder Teigh!” the gray-clothed Third-rank Saint from the opposing side angrily retorted.
“Can’t you hear properly? I said he’s an old fool, didn’t you hear that?” Azure Dragon responded once again.
“Stop!” the elderly leader scolded.
“Elder Teigh, they…” the gray-clothed elder hesitated.
“You really don’t want to come with us voluntarily?” the elderly leader ignored him and turned to Billy.
“I’ll give you a chance, what do you say?” Billy glanced at the leader coldly.
“A chance for me?” the leader named Teigh narrowed his eyes slightly. “Heh, interesting. Tell me more.”
“A chance to submit!” Billy calmly spoke. “You can keep your life, how about that?”
“Hahaha…” After a brief pause, Teigh burst into laughter.
The people behind him also laughed, sneering at Billy one by one.
“A mere country bumpkin dares to speak such arrogant words. Truly ignorant!” the gray-clothed elder spoke loudly after a moment’s hesitation.
“What do you think? Do you want to consider it?” Billy ignored him and continued to question Teigh.
“Are you serious?” Teigh sneered. “It’s been years since I’ve left the central part, and this visit has truly opened my eyes!”
“Are you implying that you don’t want this opportunity?” Billy responded indifferently.
