After receiving Billy’s approval, Joshua Reynolds and Jacob Scott took another sharp breath. Everyone, including their fellow Glavalean citizens, looked at Billy with astonishment. Lord Dragon was truly impressive! This seemingly impossible situation had become a reality!
“How did this happen?” Archie’s face turned as ugly as if he had lost his parents as he looked at the results on the screen.
“Void!” After a short while, Burt jumped up from his seat and exclaimed, “Today’s voting results are void!”
“What do you mean, Burt?” Teigh looked at Burt and spoke in a deep voice.
“These results were voted on by the five of us. What right do you have to declare them void?”
“I suspect that you three have received benefits from Glavale and Aquilandia. This result is not valid!” Burt angrily retorted.
“Burt, as a member of the Guardians Elder Council, do you think it’s appropriate for you to say such things?” Neil furrowed his brow and spoke.
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it!” Burt responded loudly. “This result absolutely cannot stand!”
“Is that so?” Just then, Billy’s voice rang out. Soon after, he calmly walked towards the stage, holding Harleen’s sword in his hand.
“You scoundrel, who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?” Archie shouted, his anger unable to be contained.
“You better shut your mouth!” Billy glanced at him. As he spoke, he had already stepped onto the stage.
When Teigh and the others saw him, a strong sense of fear flashed in their eyes.
“You’re asking for death!” Archie naturally wouldn’t easily back down and continued pointing at Billy. “Get down from there right now, or…”
Whoosh!
Before he could finish his sentence, a wave of energy rushed towards him like a hurricane, causing a violent gust of wind.
“Huh?!” Sensing the danger, Archie’s pupils contracted, quickly dodging to the side. But with his cultivation level, he could not possibly avoid Amber’s attack. Just as he had run a few steps, he was swept away by the energy wave, flying hundreds of meters before crashing heavily to the ground, motionless for quite some time.
“You scoundrel, who are you? How dare you hurt Lord Archie!” a man in the audience shouted, waving his hand. “Surround her, don’t let her escape!”
“Yes, sir!” Many people responded and rushed towards Amber.
“Stop!” Teigh stood up.
“Elder Teigh, she…” the man from earlier responded loudly.
“Shut up!” Teigh interrupted him in a stern voice. Then, he pointed in Archie’s direction and spoke loudly.
“While serving as an Inspector in the Western Polar Domain, Archie abused his authority, committed acts of personal gain, and indiscriminately killed innocent people. According to the iron rules of the Guardians, he deserves to be beheaded! However, considering that he has done some good deeds over the years, the merits and demerits balance each other out. From now on, he is banished from the Polar Snow Domain and can never set foot here again!”
Upon hearing these words, Archie, lying not far away, spewed a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolling back as he passed out.
“Teigh, who gave you the authority to expel Inspector Archie? You…” Burt shouted loudly.
“You seem quite active!” Billy interrupted him. “You’ve been manipulating the Guardians for decades, aren’t you satisfied yet?”
“Insolent! Who are you?” Burt angrily responded.
“You want to know who I am?” Billy spoke loudly. “Then listen carefully. I am King of the West from Glavale, the Lord Dragon, Billy!”
Upon hearing his words, the crowd erupted into a commotion once again. At least two-thirds of the people present had heard of Commander Gardner’s name! Especially his encounter with the Nine Paths of National Fortune at the peak of the Kun Lun Mountains, which had spread throughout the entire Polar Domain. However, what most people didn’t expect was for the renowned Commander Gardner to be so young!
“General Kimmons, this is the Western part, Northfortia’s territory. Will Lord Dragon’s exposure like this not be dangerous?” Joshua Reynolds, standing in the Glavale’s camp below the stage, asked Casey with a hint of worry.
“That’s true!” Jacob Scott chimed in. “In that case, the people of Northfortia will definitely know Lord Dragon’s whereabouts soon!”
“Both of you, don’t worry!” Casey replied with a faint smile. He had already guessed Billy’s intention, and it was clear that it was intentional! Billy’s purpose was simple, to let the people of Northfortia know that he had come to the Western Polar Domain.
“So, you’re Commander Gardner?” On the stage, upon hearing Billy’s words, Burt’s pupils slightly contracted.
“You’ve killed so many of us Guardians, and yet you dare to appear so brazenly here. It seems like you don’t take us Guardians seriously at all.”
“You guys want to avenge Philbert Parker and the other two Provincial Governors, right?” Billy didn’t respond to his words. “I’ll give you two a chance to avenge them. Join forces and fight me in a battle, where life and death will be left to fate. Furthermore, if I lose, today’s election results will also be null and void. How about that?”
Upon hearing this, Joshua Reynolds and Jacob Scott were simultaneously choked. From what they knew, Lord Dragon, with his cultivation as a Second-Rank Saint, could only contend with opponents at the Third-Rank level, at most. But Burt and Vic, both of them were unquestionably Fourth-Rank Saints!
Was Lord Dragon joking a bit too much?
“General Kimmons, you better persuade Lord Dragon!” Jacob Scott slightly eased his pace and looked at Casey. “Burt and Vic are both Fourth-Rank cultivators, while Lord Dragon is two levels lower. It’s too dangerous!”
“Mr Scott, don’t worry. Trust him!” Bob interjected.
Bob knew Billy well. Even if the opponents were two Fifth-Rank Saints, Billy could easily strike them down with a single blow if he activated his bloodline power.
“But…” Jacob Scott started to speak again.
“Rest assured, Mr Scott. Just sit back and enjoy the show!” Bob interrupted him with a smile.
“Alright then!” Jacob Scott took a deep breath and responded, his face still filled with worry.
At the same time, most of the Guardians members around them looked at Billy with disdainful expressions. In their eyes, Billy was not even thirty years old, and no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t possibly be a match for the two Elders. Moreover, he was going to fight them alone, showing a complete lack of understanding of the world!
“Aren’t you joking?” On the stage, Burt stared coldly at Billy.
“You’re not worthy of me joking with you!” Billy calmly responded.
“You’re truly arrogant!” Vic angrily spoke. “You said it yourself, don’t go back on your word!”
“Agreed?” Billy faintly smiled.
“Choose a location!” Burt coldly replied. For him, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If they could seize this chance to kill Billy, they would have performed a great service for Northfortia. Their status and position would undoubtedly rise. Moreover, this was a duel proposed by Billy in front of three to four thousand people. At that time, Glavale would not dare to say much either.
“This park has a nice environment. Let’s do it here!” Billy shrugged his shoulders.
