Chapter 380 Attack on the SHADOW Base
"Mr Shelton, we came empty-handed today and didn't prepare any gifts. I hope you won't take offense." Cole Wilson said, smiling at Alger Shelton.
"If I recall correctly, the Shelton family has industries related to military manufacturing, right?" he continued.
"Please have someone contact the procurement department of the War Department. The Shelton family will officially become a high-quality supplier for the War Department starting from next month!"
"What?!" Alger exclaimed in surprise, then quickly bowed to Cole. "Thank you, General Wilson!"
As he spoke, he felt a surge of joy. This was something the Shelton family had been dreaming of for years. And they had tried countless methods to achieve it, and today, it had come true so easily. Alger Shelton was well aware of what this meant for his family. As long as they maintained product quality, the Shelton family was on the path to becoming a top-tier family.
"You're welcome, Mr Shelton. When Azure Dragon and your daughter have their wedding banquet, let me know, and I'll come to celebrate with you." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Of course!" Alger replied loudly. "Your presence will be the greatest honor for the Shelton family." Afterwards, he turned to Billy and said, "Thank you, Commander Gardner."
He knew that General Wilson was doing this due to his respect for the King of the West. Otherwise, the Shelton family wouldn't have qualified to enter General Wilson's sight.
"You're welcome, Mr Shelton." Billy replied with a slight smile and waved his hand. "Today, we have troubled you. We'll take our leave. Please inform Azure Dragon that he has ten days of leave to visit his family, and he should report to the Southern Territory after ten days."
"I see." Alger nodded and bowed to the dignitaries again. "Thank you once again, esteemed guests. Please take care."
Within five minutes, Billy and his team arrived at the entrance of the estate.
"General Wilson, thank you very much!" Billy said to Cole Wilson.
"You're welcome, Commander Gardner. This is noting worth mentioning."
After a brief pause, Cole Wilson said, "Lately, some of the smaller neighboring nations around the Southern Territory have been acting up, likely influenced by forces from the west. Once Azure Dragon takes his position, make sure he stays vigilant."
"Understood!" Billy nodded. He had also heard about this matter, but due to his position, he couldn't get directly involved. However, now that Azure Dragon was taking over, he couldn't afford to ignore it.
After exchanging a few more words with Bob Stokes and the others, Cole turned to leave.
"Boss, are you going back to Ozin now?" Bob Stokes asked Billy. "I'll come to your place for a visit. Otherwise, when you leave, I'll have no one to talk to!"
"Don't you have work to do? You've only been in office for a few days, and I'm sure you have a lot to handle."
"I do have a lot on my plate, but it can't all be finished in a day. Let's go. I'll come with you for a while." Bob Stokes said before getting into their car.
"You never take work seriously!" Billy laughed and joined him in the car.
Just as they got into the car, Night Orchid's phone rang.
"Brigham Bush, what's up?" she answered the call.
"Governor Night Orchid, someone has attacked the SHADOW base. They are highly skilled and have already injured many of our brothers." Brigham Bush's voice sounded weak.
"Who are they?!"
"They didn't say, only that they wanted to find you and Commander." Brigham replied.
"Tell our brothers to stand down and not take any further action. We'll be back shortly!" Night Orchid said before hanging up.
"What's going on?" Billy asked.
"Boss, someone has attacked the SHADOW base and injured many of our brothers!" Night Orchid replied.
"What?!" Bob Stokes furrowed his brow. "Who are these people?"
"We don't know yet," Night Orchid shook her head.
"Stout, drive!" Billy ordered.
With a roar, Stout stepped on the gas pedal, and the car sped away. The journey that usually took half an hour was completed in less than fifteen minutes. They arrived at the entrance of the estate.
"Commander!"
As soon as they got out of the car, Brigham Bush and a group of SHADOW members rushed over. Many of them had visible injuries. Brigham Bush was the most seriously injured, with multiple wounds on his body, and his clothes were soaked in blood. Several other SHADOW members also had wounds from blades, and it was clear they had been attacked with deadly precision.
"Who the hell are they, asking for trouble?" Bob Stokes furrowed his brow tightly.
Standing beside him, Night Orchid also had an icy expression, pulling out her Cold Moon Saber.
"Stout, heal their wounds!" Billy spoke with a deep voice, a chilling aura emanating from him.
This was the first Someone had come to cause trouble at SHADOW headquarters since he took over as the leader of SHADOW.
"Yes!" Stout responded loudly.
Afterward, Billy, along with Bob Stokes and Night Orchid, continued walking towards the main courtyard. In no time, they arrived at a square not far from the entrance, and at a glance, two groups of people were facing off.
One side consisted of two to three hundred SHADOW members, many of them with sword wounds, all gripping curved blades and staring intensely at the other side, exuding a strong sense of battle readiness; on the other side, there were only twenty individuals. A white-haired old man sat in a chair, and beside him, a young woman sat as well. Surrounding them were nine men and women, all holding their swords, their auras intimidating, with the lowest cultivation level being at the Battle God rank.
Billy glanced at the white-haired old man and narrowed his eyes slightly since he detected the aura of a Half-Step War God-Emperor from him.
"Commander!" The SHADOW members bowed as they saw Billy, all at once.
"Shane, bring them aside for medical attention!" Billy said to the Vice Commander, Shane Cross, in a bone-chilling tone.
"Yes, Commander!" Shane Cross nodded in response.
"Commander, we can still fight!" Hundreds of SHADOW members shouted simultaneously.
"Don't you understand Commander's orders?" Night Orchid spoke sternly. "Fall back!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Are you Commander Gardner from the Western Region?" The woman sitting in the chair glanced at Billy. She appeared to be in her mid-twenties, with exceptional looks and a well-proportioned figure, wearing a naturally haughty expression. Afterward, she looked at Night Orchid. "And you must be SHADOW Governor Night Orchid, right?"
"Who exactly are you people?" Night Orchid asked with a serious tone.
"Did you kill the Fifth Elder and Mirabelle Leonard?" A woman named Nicole Manning spoke coldly.
"Are you from the sect behind the Leonard clan, the one that supports them?"
"Answer my question, did you kill the Fifth Elder?" Nicole Manning asked again.
"Who injured my SHADOW member?" Billy's tone sounded flat.
Night Orchid alone knew that the calmer Billy appeared, the more it meant that his anger had reached a critical point, just one spark away from exploding.
"We did it, any objections?" A man in a gray robe stepped forward, followed by seventeen other men and women.
"Night Orchid, cut them down!" Billy calmly ordered.
