"Do you know me?" Billy turned to look at Rufus Holmes. "Which department are you from? Stateyour name."
"Commander Gardner, I'm Rufus Holmes, and I serve in the Household Ministry..." Rufus Holmesstammered with great difficulty.
"Household Ministry?" Billy said calmly, then pointed at Hale Holmes and Sigmund Hampton. "Didyou come here to stand up for them?"

"Yes... I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you... I'm sorry."
"From what you're saying, if I hadn't been here today, you would have taken his side?" Billy askedwith a cold tone.
"N-No... that's not what I meant..." Rufus Holmes shivered and hastily kowtowed.
"I-I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, please, Commander Gardner, spare me this time. I won't dare to doit again..."
"Do you know what they did?" Billy continued to inquire.
"I..." Rufus Holmes shivered again. Then, he gritted his teeth, got up, and quickly walked over toHale Holmes. He pulled out a dagger from his side without hesitation and struck down.

"Enough!" Billy said calmly.
"Commander Gardner, let me kill this scoundrel, this piece of trash..." Rufus Holmes turned to Billy.

"Commander Gardner... I..." Upon hearing Billy's words, Rufus Holmes shivered uncontrollably. Hewas well aware of who Buck Tenny was. If he let the man know that he had been exposed byCommander Gardner, there was probably no way he could keep his official position.
"Get out!" Billy's tone grew colder.
"Yes, Commander." Rufus Holmes, with a hopeless expression on his face, turned and left. Thepeople he had brought with him quickly followed suit.
"Brigham, take him back to SHADOW." Billy pointed at Sigmund Hampton. "And send someone toCentral Sky Office with a message. Tell them that he's in SHADOW's hands and give Oriana'speople two hours to see him. If they don't show up, they'll see his body!"
After that, he and Night Orchid turned and walked towards the exit.
"Yes, Commander!" Brigham Bush responded loudly. Then, leading the SHADOW members, heapproached Hale Holmes and Sigmund Hampton.
"Commander Gardner, you're so handsome!"
"Commander Gardner, we love you!"
The onlookers cheered once again.
An hour later, Billy and his group returned to the SHADOW base.
Shane Cross took his team to interrogate Hale Holmes, while Brigham Bush carried SigmundHampton and followed Billy and Night Orchid into the conference hall.
"Boss!" A moment after they had taken their seats, Casey and Azure Dragon entered.
After greeting Billy, Azure Dragon went straight to Sigmund Hampton.
"Is this the Orianan guy? He's really looking for trouble, daring to come to Glavale and act like this.You're very presumptuous, ain't you?" As Azure Dragon spoke, he kicked him away. His demeanorindicated that he was quite angry.
"Why did you two come here? Is the matter over there resolved?" Billy asked with a faint smile.
"Boss, since you've brought this guy here and only given them two hours, how can they negotiate?"Night Orchid chuckled.
"That's true!" Billy smiled again and then turned to Casey. "What did you discuss with them?"
"What's the point of negotiating with them?" Before Casey could speak, Azure Dragon interjectedangrily. "They're a bunch of scoundrels, brazenly making several demands."
"As expected." Billy laughed and continued, "What demands?"
Casey began, "Firstly, they want us to compensate them with five hundred billion for the loss theyincurred when we intercepted their intelligence last time."
"Secondly, they want us to pay another five hundred billion as compensation for killing their WarDepartment Grand Elder."
"Thirdly, they want us to hand over Lance Glisson to them."
"Fourthly, they want us to withdraw the Eastern Territory's one hundred thousand BloodshadowTroopers within three days."
"Oh?" Billy's eyes showed a hint of sharpness, and at the same time, a chilling aura emanated fromhim.
"What was Central Sky Office's response?" Billy asked, picking up his teacup and taking a sip.
"They haven't responded yet." Casey replied.
"But the other two departments have been acting as intermediaries, saying that they are willing tonegotiate on the conditions."
"Interesting!" Billy narrowed his eyes slightly and paused for a moment before asking. "What'sGeneral Wilson's reaction?"
