Chapter 224 The Fall of the Leonard Clan
"You... how could you be so powerful..." Alvin Leonard stood in place, struggling to speak a fewwords before a bloodline extended from his forehead down to his waist.
Subsequently, his body split into two and fell to the ground one after the other, flesh and bloodmingling.
Witnessing this scene, the eyes of the members of SHADOW and the Bloodshadow Guard glowedwith fervor. This was their faith, a once-in-a-millennium genius. To be able to follow such a peerlessfigure was truly an honor in their lifetime.novelbin
"Father!" In the central square of the estate, Perry Leonard lay on the ground, emitting a heart-wrenching cry, his face filled with boundless despair.
"Boss!" At the same time, Casey led a group of people to his side.
Billy nodded slightly, sweeping his gaze over Perry Leonard and the duke of Tyren before speakingin a deep voice, "Execute."
"No, please..." Both of them cried out as if their souls were leaving their bodies.
Azure Dragon and Night Orchid didn't waste words. They swiftly stepped forward, one after theother, their wrists flicking, and the glint of blades appeared. In the next instant, the heads of PerryLeonard and Tyren Duke soared into the sky. From this point on, the Leonard Clan was completelyeradicated from the sequence of Glavale's clans.
One hour later, Billy's figure appeared at the airport where Phil Santiago was. On the tarmac, apartfrom three thousand SHADOW guards and the Bloodshadow Guard led by Casey, there were also
key personnel from various departments. Ebenezer Rowe and Stan Mitchell were among them.
"Rowe, Mitchell, sorry for any inconvenience," Billy said, looking at Ebenezer Rowe with a faintsmile.
"Commander Gardner, no need to apologize!" Ebenezer Rowe and Stan Mitchell quickly bowed inresponse.
"Next time you have the chance to come to the West, I'll have some drinks ready to entertain youboth!" Billy smiled again.
"Thank you, Commander Gardner!" Both of them shivered all over, bowing once more.
But they would better not go to the west - if the hundreds of thousands of the Army of Bloodshadowfound out that last time they intercepted Commander Gardner en route, who knew if they couldreturn safely!
"Vice Commander, sorry to disturb!" Billy then looked at Phil Santiago.
"Commander Gardner, you're too kind!" Phil Santiago's gaze was full of admiration.
"Tell General Wilson, come to visit the west region if he is free. The scenery there is splendidcompared to the north!" Billy said with a smile.
"I will tell him for you." Phil Santiago responded with a bow.
"Everyone, sorry for the interruption!" Billy said to the other core members of various departmentsbefore turning and boarding the plane.
"Farewell, Commander Gardner!" Everyone shouted in unison.
The stone that everyone's hearts had been holding fell, and they all let out a sigh of relief. Theywere genuinely worried that Commander Gardner would not only deal with the Leonard Clan butalso harm several other clans. In that case, it would truly be a major incident. The major clans in thecapital had complex relationships with various parties. Eliminating one clan wouldn't cause toomuch of a stir. But if several clans were eliminated simultaneously, that wouldn't be a laughingmatter; it would shake the foundation of the entire country.
Five minutes later, the fighter jet soared into the sky and headed toward the Ozin direction.Afterward, the Bloodshadow Guard, led by Ken Rose, boarded another military plane and returnedto the west region.
Casey and Azure Dragon remained behind. They had some matters to attend to regarding theirnewly granted positions. They bid farewell to Phil Santiago and left with the members of SHADOW.
The news of the Leonard Clan's annihilation spread across the territory that very day, causing acommotion throughout the country. To think that a clan that had been passed down for hundreds ofyears could be overturned in a single day. This news was too shocking. The question was, who hadsuch great ability? When it was revealed that the hand behind it was the King of the West, everyonefelt relieved. With the power of him, toppling a clan was a simple task.
Amidst the shock, people scrambled to find out what had happened to make the King of the West soangry. As the truth emerged, most people not only praised Commander Gardner but also cursed theLeonard Clan's ancestors for daring to collude with foreign enemies and attempt to assassinate thenation's genius. They were truly deserving of their fate!
While some celebrated and some lamented, the leaders of the other major clans in the capitalgathered as soon as they confirmed that Commander Gardner had left the city. They weren't gettingtogether to discuss how to defensively react; they were planning how to take the initiative.
At noon that day, Glavale's southern border welcomed a heavyweight figure.
The Supreme Commander of the War Ministry, Cole Wilson. His visit to the South overlappedperfectly with Billy's departure to the capital. When Billy arrived at the capital, Cole Wilson wasboarding a plane bound for the South.
Cole Wilson spent just under an hour in the South before returning. On his way back, he had anadditional person with him-Sterling Robbins, the Deputy Commander of the south.
Later, a piece of news spread throughout Glavale's War Ministry. The Deputy Southern Commanderwas removed from his position for investigation, all four commanders of the Southern Legions werereassigned, and the Southern Commander was summoned to the capital to report. Rumor had itthat he was scolded by the senior council members of the War Ministry for an entire day and night.
As for whether anyone beneath the level of commander received any punishment, no newssurfaced. However, anyone with clear eyes could see that with such a significant event, it wouldn'tstop at just a few individuals. They also had to be held accountable; otherwise, they wouldn't beable to answer to Commander Gardner.
That evening, in a main hall of the Royal View Villas.
"Boss, it looks like the War Ministry is still being cautious!" Judge said with an indignant tone,looking at Billy. "They managed to brush off such a huge matter, the Deputy Southern Commandermerely received a verbal reprimand, and he only faced suspension and investigation!"
"They're really shameless, huh?"
"As far as I know, isn't the Southern Commander also from a clan?" Ebony Lord spoke up from theside.
"So what if they're from a clan?" Judge scoffed. "In my opinion, both the Southern Commander andhis deputy should be executed. If their clan doesn't accept it, wipe them all out together!"
Ebony Lord was almost choked by his own saliva. After steadying his emotions, he continued, "TheWar Ministry has investigated the matter. It turns out that a vice general under Sterling Robbins wascolluding with the Leonard Clan. The two Southern Commanders are only taking responsibility forpoor leadership and poor supervision. It's difficult to impose the death penalty."
Judge huffed again. "Who believes that? Who wouldn't take care of their own backs?!"
"Furthermore, those four Half-Step War Grandmasters who attacked Casey and the others thismorning were definitely people from other clans!"
"That's enough. Let's drop the matter here. There's no need to discuss it further." Billy put down histeacup and spoke calmly.
For him, the purpose of this matter had been achieved. As for the fate of the two SouthernCommanders, it was beyond his consideration. As for the other clans, they would naturally maketheir move, but not now. This matter required time and opportunity.
Then, he looked at Stout beside him. "Among the medicinal ingredients Tyren sent this time, thereshould be many valuable ones. Make sure not to waste them!"
"Boss, rest assured, I'll make the best use of them!" Stout grinned. "Give me a month, and I'll sendyou a big gift!"
"Good!" Billy smiled and nodded. "If it's still unsuccessful, just return to Secret Essences forseclusion!"
"Oh, please, no!" Stout shivered and quickly assured him, patting his chest. "I won't let you down,boss!"
"Looking forward to good news from you!" After another smile, Billy looked at Spike Arnold (EbonyLord).
"Spike, you can begin with the matter we discussed before. Starting tomorrow, you're in charge ofassigning personnel for the Enforcement Hall of SHADOW. The east district can be left out of this,focus on the other four districts!"
"Understood!" Ebony Lord responded solemnly. "I won't let you down!"
