Chapter 332 The End of the Riley Clan
The entire square turned into a small battlefield, engulfed in a fierce clash. Meanwhile, about a hundred meters from the entrance of the estate, a group of thirty special patrol officers stood bewildered on an open space.
"Sir..., maybe we should leave this place?" one of them said, looking at Andy Wade. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
"If you don't want your heads to roll, you'd better stay put right here!" Andy Wade snapped at him. Deep down, he had no desire to stay a second longer himself, but Commander Gardner had given the order, and even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to disobey.
"Governor, how about we take action as well?" another officer spoke up. "Otherwise, just standing here won't do any good."
Sighing heavily, Andy Wade waved his hand. "Alright, go ahead!"
"Yes, sir!" The man nodded and drew his sword before charging forward. "These SHADOW scoundrels have gone too far, and we're not going to let them get away with it!"
But just as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back, followed by a fall that left him writhing in agony.
"Sir, why did you kick me?" He struggled to get up, then turned to Andy Wade with a puzzled expression.
"Idiot!" Andy Wade snapped angrily. "Do you want to die dragging us down with you?"
"What... What do you mean?" The man was still confused. "Didn't you order us to take action?"
"Moron!" Andy Wade glared at him fiercely. "I told you to take action, not to attack those from SHADOW!"
Some people just had no brains at all! It was so obvious, couldn't he see it? Today, the Riley clan was definitely finished, and their only chance to survive was to prove their loyalty. If they could kill a few members of Ink Pavilion, perhaps they might have a slim chance of survival. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to save their own lives if the heavens themselves came down.
After a moment's pause, Andy Wade shouted loudly, "You bastards from Ink Pavilion, how dare you attack SHADOW members! You will pay with your lives!"
"What?" The man was once again stunned, then raised his big knife and charged forward. "You scoundrels from Ink Pavilion, prepare to meet your doom!"
"Attack!" The other two to three dozen people also rushed toward the crowd from Ink Pavilion.
At that moment, Billy's sword had already severed the heads of Drake Riley and Alkaid in mid-air.
"Father!" Ralph Riley, who was fighting with Azure Dragon, cried out in despair.
But just as he was distracted, Azure Dragon's blade flashed past his shoulder, severing his arm, and causing blood to spray everywhere.
"Ah..." He screamed in pain once more before collapsing to the ground, his face filled with endless despair.
After casting a glance at him, Azure Dragon paid him no further attention and turned to charge toward the other fighters.
The battle continued and soon neared its end. The two War Grandmaster-level fighters who had been attacking Casey were beheaded by Billy before they could react. The ten Warlords didn't last
more than five minutes against Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird. As for the twenty Battle Gods, they met their end at the hands of Azure Fang, Frostblade, and Soul Chaser. In less than ten minutes, every member of Ink Pavilion was slain except for Melvin Pearce.
Melvin's condition wasn't much better. Like a dead dog, he lay unconscious on the ground. One of his arms was severed, and his body bore over ten wounds, with only one breath left, thanks to Vermilion Bird's deliberate mercy.
As for the core members of the Riley Clan, aside from Ralph Riley, all the others were lying dead. The several hundred guards were also either dead or injured, with about half of them on each side.
"Mercy!" The remaining group of fighters knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and kept begging for mercy.
"Bring them all back to SHADOW!" Frostblade spoke up.
"Yes!" the SHADOW members responded in unison.
Meanwhile, Billy, Casey, and the others approached Ralph Riley.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Struggling to get up, Ralph Riley knelt before Billy.
"It's all my fault. Please... please spar the women and children..."
Billy didn't respond to his plea and simply said, "Execute him!"
"Commander Gardner... I beg you to spare them..." Ralph Riley shouted desperately once more.
"Enough, stop shouting!" Soul Chaser spoke up in a stern voice. "SHADOW's blade never harm the innocent!"
With those words, he swung his blade down.
In his final moments, Ralph Riley showed a glimmer of hope on his face. That was the silver lining in this unfortunate situation.
"Commander Gardner!" As Billy took a few steps away, Andy Wade and a group of special patrol officers approached, trembling slightly.
"Oh, you haven't left yet?" Billy smiled faintly.
"I... I dare not..." Andy Wade shook his head quickly in response.
"Commander Gardner, I didn't know that the Riley clan would dare to act so treacherously. I was deceived by that bastard Ralph Riley into thinking that only Piers Riley was colluding with Ink Pavilion. I made a terrible mistake, please... please show mercy, Commander..."
"Please, show mercy!" The other two to three dozen special patrol officers all bowed deeply, their faces filled with fear and sincerity.
"Return to the capital and explain the situation yourself. As for how they deal with you, that's up to your own luck." Billy said coldly.
To Billy, even if he killed Andy Wade on the spot, no one would dare to object. The capital had already issued a decree: anyone colluding with Ink Pavilion or obstructing the capture of Ink Pavilion criminals would be put to death without exception.
However, killing Andy Wade would serve little purpose. Keeping him alive might be more valuable.
"Thank you... thank you for sparing us, Commander Gardner!" Andy Wade quickly expressed his gratitude. "From now on, Commander Gardner, if you have any tasks, I won't hesitate to accept them!"
"Thank you, Commander Gardner, for sparing us!" The others breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
"Get lost!" Billy waved his hand.
"Yes... yes, Commander Gardner!"
Andy Wade bowed again before leading the group away.
"Frostblade, take him back!" Billy then pointed at Melvin Pearce and said, "Interrogate him. Force him to reveal Ink Pavilion's hideouts."
Billy had called Casey and the others to Earthford for a reason, and it wasn't just to deal with the people on-site.
"Yes, Commander!" Frostblade replied.
An hour later, the group returned to the SHADOW base.
Wally Hammond, along with a few SHADOW guards, went to the interrogation room, while Billy, Casey, and the rest gathered in the meeting room.
"Vermilion Bird, have there been any unusual activities in the west territory recently?" Billy asked as he picked up a teacup and took a sip.
"Don't worry, everything is normal." Vermilion Bird replied. "The neighboring countries have all been on their best behavior."
"Has Tyren made any moves lately?"
"No, they wouldn't dare to make any moves after what happened... By the way, a few days ago, their Eastern Region Inspector specially visited our base. They brought us a lot of good things and
delivered a message from their king, expressing their desire to form an alliance with Glavale. I haven't had a chance to report this to you." Vermilion Bird said.
"Alright, I'll consider it," Billy said after a moment of thought.
"Hunting is quite a capable guy, we should give it some thought."
"Yes!" Vermilion Bird nodded and continued, "Boss, have there been any updates from White Tiger in Place of Darkness?"
"Don't worry about him, he's been having a great time." Azure Dragon laughed.
"What do you mean?" Vermilion Bird was puzzled.
"He's busy being in love!" Azure Dragon smiled again.
"What?" Vermilion Bird was puzzled again. "Did he seduce Rakshasa?"
"Of course, it's Rakshasa who seduced him!" Casey laughed. "That wooden log of his, who could he possibly seduce?"
