Chapter 366 Long Time No See!

"Are you okay?" Billy asked.

"Thanks for your concern, boss, I'm fine." Night Orchid replied with a smile.

"Good," Billy nodded and then glanced at the man standing next to her, Bob Stokes, and a faint smile crept onto his lips.

Shortly after, Bob leaped off the stage and approached Billy with a composed expression. Onlookers stepped aside, many of them wearing expressions of glee.

"The King of the West dares to be insolent at Central Sky Office, he's in big trouble now!" they thought. They couldn't even wait to see these two face off, wondering who was the stronger martial artist.

"Boss, be careful!" Azure Fang and his companions furrowed their brows slightly and stood in front of Billy. Although they couldn't sense Bob Stokes's martial aura, their instincts told them that he was dangerous.

Night Orchid, who had been staying at Central Sky Office for the past few days, also wore a serious expression. She had some understanding of Bob Stokes's abilities, and he was definitely a formidable opponent, though perhaps slightly inferior to Billy. The difference between them shouldn't be too great.

"You guys are no match for him. Step aside." Billy said to Azure Fang and the others with a faint smile.

"Boss, he..." Azure Fang hesitated.

"Don't worry." Billy waved his hand dismissively.

While they were talking, Bob Stokes had already reached them.

To the astonishment of everyone, Bob Stokes knelt down in front of Billy without any hesitation. Then, with suppressed excitement, he looked at Billy and said earnestly, "Boss, long time no see!"

Chins dropped all around the square, and everyone was collectively stunned.

What on earth was going on here?

The newly arrived figure from Central Sky Office, Bob Stokes, actually knelt before the King of the West. A sense of panic surged through many people. Even Azure Fang and his companions looked at the scene with disbelief. They had followed Billy for years but had never heard of Bob Stokes before.

After a moment of confusion, they thought of that old man. It was probably someone from that old man's side. They didn't know much about the old man, as Billy rarely talked about him. They only knew that the old man played a crucial role in Billy's success and had high hopes for him. But they didn't know much about the other people in the old man's circle.

"You managed to keep this from me too!" Billy laughed and reached out to help Bob Stokes up.

Before coming here today, Billy had no idea that the newcomer from Central Sky Office was Bob Stokes, who had come to the capital without giving him a heads-up. Billy thought Bob Stoles deserved a good scolding. Besides, Billy understood now why Central Sky Office had forcefully intervened in this case-it was because Bob Stokes was here to protect Night Orchid.

"I wanted to surprise you!" Bob Stokes grinned and scratched his head, behaving like a follower.

The members of Central Sky Office were flabbergasted once again. They couldn't believe that this guy was the same aloof and authoritative Bob Stokes. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Did that old man send you?" Billy asked with another smile.

"Yeah," Bob Stokes nodded vigorously. "He said that recently, there have been more and more disturbances both inside and outside the borders, and he's worried that you're spread too thin. So, he sent me to help you out a bit."

"That old man is considerate," Billy smiled and nodded. He understood the old man's intention-it was to pave the way for him to take control of the capital city. Central Sky Office was one of the core agencies in the capital, and having it under his control would make many things much easier in the future.

"We'll talk later, let's deal with the matter at hand." Billy said after a pause.

"Understood," Bob Stokes replied. "Boss, Night Orchid's case..."

"Don't worry about that, I'll handle it. You can just watch." Billy smiled again.

Bob knew Billy well. Billy might be decisive, but he never harmed the innocent. Those people he had just killed were definitely connected to this case.

Bob had been thinking about how to handle the situation better, as he couldn't charge Night Orchid, nor could he appeared partial. He had even considered using Central Sky Office's authority to release Night Orchid if necessary, and anyone with objections could come to him.

Three days ago, Bob had sent someone to Special Patrol Squadron to bring Night Orchid here, all to ensure her safety. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered with this matter. It was not Central Sky Office's responsibility in the first place, and he had plenty of other important matters to attend to as the newly appointed leader.

"Azure Fang, bring them up," Billy instructed as he walked towards the stage.

"Yes, Commander!" Azure Fang responded loudly.

Soon, four SHADOWers carried Leroy Holmes and Mirabelle Leonard into the scene.

Leroy looked pale as a ghost, trembling all over with fear, while Mirabelle, on the other hand, wore an expressionless face with vacant, lifeless eyes, like a walking corpse.

Many people in the audience were alarmed upon seeing them and began to unconsciously move toward the mansion's entrance.

"Don't you all like watching a good show?" Bob Stokes spoke calmly. "The show isn't over yet, why are you already preparing to leave?"

"I have an important meeting to attend back home. I'll take my leave, Mr Stokes."

"Mr Stokes, I just received a call from my wife, she's in the hospital. I need to rush there. I'll be on my way."

"My mother called, she said she's not feeling well so I have to go to her."

Many people made various excuses and tried to leave.

"Azure Fang, take note, without my permission, anyone who dares to leave the premises will be executed!" Billy's voice was stern as he approached the stage.

"Understood!" Azure Fang responded loudly.

Those who had just taken a few steps paused upon hearing this. Regret began to creep into many hearts. If they had known, they wouldn't have come to watch the spectacle. Inadvertently, they might have placed their lives in jeopardy.

"Boss," Night Orchid bowed slightly as Billy reached the stage. "I am useless, sorry for causing you to worry."

"Their target is me, and you got involved because of me." Billy said with a faint smile.

"What's going on exactly?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Billy replied with another smile. "Bring them up!"
