Chapter 191 The Newcomers
"Hey, what's up bro? What's good, Kimmons?" Stout grinned as he approached Billy and the others. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
"Stout, it's been a minute. Your skills have improved." Casey responded with a smile.
"Kimmons, don't make fun of me. Compared to you guys, I'm just a scrub." Stout laughed again.
Stout's full name was Damian Chandler. He was a direct disciple of the Secret Essences Sect and had an incredible gifted talent. At twenty-two years old, he not only mastered the true teachings of medicine from the Secret Essences Sect but also reached the advanced stage of Warlord in martial arts cultivation.
Since his last trip to the western region with an elder from Secret Essences Sect, he refused to return to his sect and instead stayed in the western region as Chief Expert of their medical team. He spent his days doing nothing but hanging out with nurses from their medical team.
This time around, Billy called him into town to keep tabs on Alvin Leonard. With Stout's martial arts prowess and his brilliant Medicinal Poison Art, he could easily beat a True Master Warlord, let alone a Novice Warlord.
"Hey there, amazing ladies and gentlemen, we meet again!" Stout exclaimed as he turned and headed towards Azure Fang and the others.
"Stay away from me, you chunky menace," Judge immediately hopped up, his eyes wary.
"Stout, just stay by boss's side, don't come any closer!" Soul Chaser chimed in at the same time.
The two of them were genuinely afraid of this big guy. Last time they crossed paths, he gave them a rough time, and the memories still haunted them.
"You guys are being way too dramatic. My little brother isn't that scary!" Night Orchid chuckled and said.
"My sister is still the best!" Stout chuckled in response.
"Stout, long time no see!" Azure Fang and Frostblade greeted him.
"Azure Fang, when are you and Frostblade going to have a baby?" Stout asked in a serious tone. "When you do, I'll play with him."
Azure Fang and Frostblade both choked on his words.
"Who are you?" Mark Leonard steadied his emotions before looking at Stout and asking.
"I'm your ancestor!" Stout replied. Ignoring him, he turned to Billy and asked, "Boss, the person you want is here!"
Billy nodded before turning to Mark Leonard. "So? You should know him right? Don't tell me you don't even recognize your half-brother?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Mark Leonard's face darkened. "Who is he? I've never seen him before!"
Hearing this, Alvin Leonard lying on the ground showed a hint of despair in his eyes. He knew he was completely abandoned.
"Tsk tsk, looks like they're planning to sacrifice their pawn for their king." Stout looked at Alvin Leonard. "You see now? You're just a chess piece for the Leonard family, once they use you up they
can throw you away. And yet here you are still guarding their secrets."
"If you don't want to experience the feeling of being eaten alive by ants again then be honest with us, where are those few scumbags who helped design that trap against the former master of SHADOW?"
Stout's threat worked. Alvin Leonard tremble all over with fear as he quickly spoke up, "They... they're..."
"I see, all of you want death, the Leonard Mansion won't tolerate your recklessness." Said Mark Leonard. He wouldn't let Alvin speak anymore.
Mark raised his hand and commanded, "Get them out of here!"
The hundred men behind him all launched themselves towards Billy and the others, each one releasing their strongest aura.
"You're dead!" Ebony Lord and the "Five Sharp Blades" charged forward at the same time.
Mark Leonard's aura skyrocketed in an instant. He lifted his hand and slammed it down towards Alvin Leonard on the ground.
"Oh! You want to kill him? Too bad you don't have what it takes!" Stout quickly flashed in front of Alvin Leonard, also sweeping out with a palm strike.
Bang!
Although Mark Leonard's skills were not bad and he had been above a Tier-two Battle God, compared to Stout, he was no different than an ant.
After being sent flying for thirty or forty meters by a single palm strike from Stout, Mark Leonard crashed heavily onto the ground. He coughed up a mouthful of blood before collapsing completely.
Meanwhile, the other hundred men, under the onslaught of Azure Fang and the other four, all went down, not a single one left standing. From the moment they made their move, their fate was sealed. The might of SHADOW was formidable, not to be trifled with.
"Boss, what should we do with this scumbag?" Stout pointed towards the fallen Mark Leonard and spoke up.
"Obstructing SHADOW's investigation and attempting to kill to cover his tracks, that's a death sentence!" Billy spoke calmly.
"You... you dare!" Mark Leonard spat out another mouthful of blood, "If you have the guts, try killing me and see, the Leonard family will..."
Before he could finish his words, a swift blade strike shot forth from Frostblade's hand.
"Stop!" Just then, a man's voice sounded and immediately a strong palm wind swept towards Frostblade.
"Oh! There is another busybody meddling in here?" Stout spoke lightly and also waved his hand.
Boom!
The attacks of the two collided with each other, and they both retreated a distance of five or six steps.
"Uh!?" The newcomer obviously did not expect Stout to be evenly matched with him.
"Oh? Not bad!" Stout's brow slightly furrowed.
At that very moment, Frostblade's blade flashed past Mark Leonard's neck, and immediately, a thin line of blood appeared at his throat. With great difficulty, Mark opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word. His legs gave out and he collapsed to the ground, lifeless. He never thought that SHADOW's people would actually dare to kill him! He was the second-in-command of the Leonard family but he was killed right at their doorstep.
Footsteps sounded behind them, and a group of five people quickly approached them. They were followed by a Coaster van.
Billy and his crew turned around to see three familiar faces among the group of five.
It was Cole Wilson, Ebenezer Rowe from Capital Defense Bureau, and Stan Mitchell from Imperial Guard Bureau. The other two men were in their fifties with square-shaped faces and sharp eyes. They wore plain clothes but exuded an aura of power - the man who had just exchanged blows with Stout was one of them, who was lean in build.
"This is just damn ridiculous!" The man looked down at Mark Leonard on the ground before glaring angrily at Billy. "Commander Gardner, don't you think you've gone too far?"
The others had varying expressions on their faces.
"Who are you?" Billy looked the man up and down before asking in a casual tone.
"Commander Gardner, let me introduce you!" Cole Wilson took two steps forward. "This is Carl Shillingford, the new chief inspector of the Special Patrol Squadron."
Cole pointed to another man and continued, "And this is Dexter Warren, a special envoy from Central Sky Office."
Billy's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened to the introductions. He wasn't surprised that someone from the Special Patrol Squadron had come. After all, their relationship with several major families
in the city was complex. But he was taken aback by Central Sky Office sending someone over. Central Sky Office of faced directly towards the leader of the entire country, and all major national decisions came from there.
Billy didn't know if it was Cole who had invited them or not. If not, then he couldn't help but be amazed at how much influence these families had.
