Chapter 222 The Intervention Of An Old Freak

Chapter 222 The Intervention of an Old Freak

Boom!

Just as the two were conversing, a tremendous aura enveloped the sky above the Leonard Clan's courtyard, as if a dark cloud was descending. Everyone at the entrance, including Casey Kimmons and Azure Dragon, felt a suffocating pressure.

Perry Leonard's gaze lit up as he sensed this aura and turned to look at the courtyard entrance.

"Men of SHADOW and Bloodshadow Guard, retreat five hundred meters!" Casey's expression turned grave.

"Vice Commander Kimmons, we pledge to live and die with you, and we move as one!" The crowd took a deep breath and shouted in unison, with no one taking a step back.

"I'll say it again, all of you, retreat five hundred meters!" Casey shouted loudly, "This is a military order!" NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"Yes, sir!" The crowd hesitated for a moment before responding in unison, then orderly stepped back.

While they all wanted to stay, military orders were absolute. Disobeying the order would be tantamount to betraying the Commander-in-Chief. They had no choice.

"Casey, let me stay!" Night Orchid held the Cold Moon Scimitar, her gaze fixed on the direction of the courtyard entrance.

"Orchid, you should step back too! There's no need for you to make a reckless sacrifice!" Azure Dragon looked at Night Orchid and advised.

"It's okay. It's been a while since I fought alongside you all. It's a rare opportunity!" Night Orchid responded with a solemn tone.

"Orchid, if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain to boss!" Casey spoke up.

"If I step back now, I won't be able to explain to myself!" A resolute look flashed in Night Orchid's eyes.

"No need to argue. Today, all of you will die!" An old man's voice rang out.

"For killing hundreds of our Leonard Clan members, you deserve nothing less than death!"

Following that, an old man with white hair and a white beard appeared at the courtyard entrance, followed by a hundred well-built men. The newcomer was the previous head of the Leonard Clan, Alvin Leonard.

"Father, you've left seclusion?" Seeing the old man, Perry Leonard took a deep breath and hurriedly walked over.

"Back then, when I entrusted the Leonard family to you, how did you assure me?" A chill emanated from Alvin Leonard.

Perry Leonard immediately knelt down, "I'm sorry. I've caused the Leonard family to suffer such a disaster. Please punish me, Father!"

Alvin Leonard snorted coldly, ignoring Perry Leonard. He strode over to Casey and Azure Dragon, and his voice became heavy. "All of you, take your own lives! I'll grant you a dignified corpse!"

"You old fool!" Azure Dragon responded coldly. "You're not qualified..!"

Before his words could be completed, Alvin Leonard's wrist flicked, and a blast of forceful wind surged out, heading straight for Azure Dragon.

"Be careful!" Casey shouted loudly as he swung his Bloodshadow Battle Blade, unleashing a cold light to block the attack.

Night Orchid also moved at the same time, her Cold Moon Scimitar striking out.

Three dull thuds rang out. The forms of Casey and the two others were sent flying like autumn leaves, each leaving an arc of blood in the air. They crashed heavily to the ground, spraying out more blood from their mouths and their auras became extremely disordered. Among the three, Casey fared a little better, but Azure Dragon and Night Orchid were seriously injured.

Alvin Leonard was already at the peak of the War Grandmaster later stage, significantly stronger than the three. He didn't use his full strength just now, otherwise, their injuries would have been more severe.

"Old geezer, let's fight!" Witnessing this scene, Brigham Bush and Ken Rose shouted in unison from five hundred meters away.

Two hundred men shouted in unison. As their words fell, they all attacked at once.

"Step back!" Casey shouted loudly, "Without my order, who dares to take a step forward will be dismissed from SHADOW and the west region!"

Everyone simultaneously exhaled deeply, and they halted their movements. For them, the most prideful thing in their lives was to follow the Commander-in-Chief. Being expelled from SHADOW and the west region would be even more unacceptable than dying in battle.

"Now, am I qualified?" At the next moment, Alvin Leonard looked at Azure Dragon with a solemn expression. "I'll give all of you one minute. Kneel at the entrance of the Leonard Clan's courtyard and take your own lives as a sign of remorse! Otherwise, there will be no bones left!"

"Is that so?" Just then, a tall figure appeared within the range of everyone's vision.

Wherever he went, the surrounding air remained calm, as if he had suddenly appeared there.

"Commander!"

Seeing the newcomer, all the members of SHADOW and Bloodshadow Guard brightened, kneeling down on one knee and calling out in unison.

"Stand up!"

The newcomer was, of course, Billy Gardner, who looked at the soldiers and raised his hand.

The clan families had been established for hundreds or even thousands of years. Among them were numerous experts, including those at the later stage of War Grandmaster realm, which was something Billy was well aware of. So, he wouldn't truly let Casey and the others be pushed to a dead end.

Just after the Bloodshadow Guard had left the west region, he had boarded a warplane bound for the capital city. Before that, he hadn't shown up because he clearly wanted to provoke the old monster of the Leonard Clan to make the first move. Because only by doing so could the Leonard Clan be completely eradicated.

War Grandmaster at the later stage were invaluable to Glavale. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the higher-ups didn't want anything to happen to them. Even Billy still couldn't casually attack Alvin Leonard without any reason.

Colluding with external enemies and attempting to assassinate a high-ranking military officer, this was what Perry Leonard had done, and it had nothing to do with Alvin Leonard. Although he could be charged with being an inept teacher, it was clear that this offense was not severe enough to warrant death. If Billy attacked, it would give rise to gossip.

But the situation was different now. Not only did Alvin Leonard hinder the capture of the fugitives by the Bloodshadow Guard, he also wounded three high-ranking officials.

His crime deserved death.

"Hmm!? He's here too!?" Both Alvin Leonard and his son recognized Billy and couldn't help but shiver. Clearly, they hadn't expected Billy to also be in the capital city.

Both of them showed a trace of panic on their faces. Although Alvin Leonard was at the later stage of the War Grandmaster realm, he had no confidence facing the King of the West. Even though he knew that Billy was injured now, he still had no confidence in a battle against him.

"You already knew he would come!?" The two elderly men in the woods conversed again.

"I didn't know!"

"I don't believe you! If you didn't know he was coming, why were you so calm when Alvin Leonard attacked just now?"

"I told you, I was just guessing!"

"You old fox, you're as cunning as that brat Billy!" The old man glared at his companion and continued, "You think I don't know? If you had interfered when Alvin Leonard attacked just now, he wouldn't have been in such a dire situation. Obviously, you intended for him to make a move!"

"Unlike you, I'm not crafty. In terms of schemes, there's only one person I respect in my lifetime."

"Get lost!"

"Alright, that's enough. We can go now. The Leonards have reached their end."

"Do you think Billy will take the opportunity to settle the score with the other clan that he had a conflict with five years ago?"

"He probably won't. The situation today is too big, and he has to consider many people's opinions."

As they spoke, the two of them glanced at the mansion's gates once more before turning and leaving.
