Chapter 306 How Dare You?
"General Wilson flipped the table. If it weren't for the Central Sky Office people stopping him, hewould have executed someone on the spot!" Casey replied with a smile.
"Haha, General Wilson's temper hasn't changed over the years!" Billy laughed.
A few years ago, when General Wilson was still the Northern District Supreme Commander, asimilar incident had occurred. A neighboring country on the border had been provoking them, and ina fit of rage, General Wilson had led a hundred thousand troops straight to the enemy's capital andexecuted their second-in-command in public. Later, the same country had sent representatives toGlavale, demanding various shameless concessions. In response, General Wilson had beheadedtheir negotiator during the negotiations. Central Sky Office had given him quite the lecture, but it hadall blown over in the end. Since then, that country had become much more obedient and hadstopped making unreasonable demands.
So, negotiations were just for show. The one with the stronger fist was the one who called the shots.
"Who is leading the Oriana's delegation this time, and who else has come with them?" Billy asked,looking at Casey.
"Oriana's Duke, Aiken Hampton, is leading the delegation, and there are representatives from theMinistry of Internal Affairs and the War Department," Casey explained. He pointed to SigmundHampton and said, "The second-in-command of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is his elder brother,Bond Hampton."
"Oh, I didn't realize that. It seems their family has some standing in Orian." Billy commented with afaint smile.
"From what I know, they are the second-ranked aristocratic family in Oriana." Casey added.
"No wonder they dare to be so bold in Glavale. They must be confident." Billy said, his lips curlingslightly.
Shortly after, Brigham Bush walked in briskly and informed Billy, "Commander, Oriana's delegationis waiting outside."
"They arrived quite quickly," Billy remarked casually. "Aside from the Oriana delegation, who else ishere?"
"Representatives from Central Sky Office, War Department, Capital Defense Bureau, Buddha Hall,and Special Patrol Squadron are accompanying them." Brigham replied.
"They've brought quite an entourage." Billy noted, taking a sip of tea. "Let them in."
"Yes!" Brigham replied before turning and leaving.
Five minutes later, a group of forty to fifty people entered the council chamber.
"Commander Gardner!" several people from various ministries greeted Billy.
"You all seem quite relaxed." Billy commented as he glanced at the familiar faces in the room.
Those present were feeling rather helpless. If they had a choice, they wouldn't want to be here atall. It was clear that dealing with this matter would be a thankless task. They secretly cursed the theOriana delegation multiple times in their hearts. Negotiations hadn't even reached a conclusion yet,and now this mess had erupted. They were essentially digging their own graves. Besides, fromwhat they knew of Commander Gardner, they understood that if they didn't handle this situationwell, it would definitely lead to a major incident.
"Bond!" When Sigmund Hampton saw one of the young men from Oriana, he cried out indesperation, as if he had grabbed a lifeline. "Why did you take so long? I was almost beaten todeath by them..."
As he spoke, he attempted to run toward the Orianan group.
"Did I tell you to leave?" Night Orchid's voice sounded calmly.
"I..." Sigmund Hampton shuddered and stopped in his tracks, not daring to move.novelbin
"Hmm?" The young man who turned out to be Bond Hampton looked at Night Orchid with anger."Damn, who did that to you?" he asked his younger brother.
"It's... It's her." Sigmund Hampton pointed at Night Orchid.
"Who are you? How dare you hurt my brother? Do you want to die?" Bond Hampton yelled at NightOrchid in anger.
"Idiot!" Night Orchid case him a disdainful glance.
"You..." Bond was about to say more.
"Enough." Billy interrupted him and asked, "Do you know what crime he has committed?"
"Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?" Bond Hampton turned to Billy.
A bout of coughing echoed in the hall.
If that man didn't have the right to speak, then no one present did.
"If I'm not mistaken, this gentleman should be the famous King of the West, Commander Gardner,right?" Duke Aiken Hampton of Oriana stepped forward and spoke loudly.
Bond Hampton's pupils constricted slightly. "Are you Commander Gardner?"
Their delegation had come to Glavale as a show of force against the Eastern District Army, but itwas ultimately aimed at the King of the West. They couldn't directly harm Commander Gardner, butthey hoped to exert pressure on him through Glavale, even if it meant stripping him of his officialposition. This would allow Oriana to take action without restraint.
However, of course, this was just wishful thinking on their part.
"Have you answered my question? Do you know what crime he has committed?" Billy asked.
"Young men always made temporary lapses in judgment and committed minor offenses. It's hard toavoid such things at his age." Bond Hampton said. "But no matter what he did, you had no right toinjure him like this! He is also one of our visiting envoys. By treating him like this, do you not holdOriana in contempt?"
Listening to his words, the audience couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. Even if CommanderGardner hadn't had any thoughts of killing before, saying such things would undoubtedly sealSigmund Hampton's fate.
"Night Orchid, tell them what crime he has committed." Billy said loudly.
"Yes, Commander!" Night Orchid stood up and addressed the Oriana delegation.
"Oriana's criminals are brazen and have assaulted a Glavalean woman in broad daylight, orderingtheir subordinates to severely injure over ten of our citizens. Their crimes are unforgivable!"
"According to SHADOW regulations, how should they be punished?" Billy asked.
"Execution!" Night Orchid replied solemnly.
"Then execute them!" Billy ordered.
"Yes!" Night Orchid responded and, with a flick of her wrist, swung her curved blade towardsSigmund Hampton's neck.
"Damn you! How dare you!" Bond Hampton roared. "Stop her!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a figure rushed out from behind Bond Hampton at an incrediblespeed. Simultaneously, a powerful aura swept through the area. With formidable cultivation, theman was a Warlord in the pinnacle realm.
"This is a sacred place of SHADOW! How dare you act so arrogantly!" Casey spoke coldly, hisblood-shadow war blade in hand, releasing a sharp arc towards the figure.
"Hmm?" The man sensed the power behind Casey's strike and his pupils constricted. He quicklydodged to the side.
With no suspense, the moment he made a move, his fate was sealed. The blade's edge passedthrough his waist, severing his body, and his head soared into the air. At the same time, NightOrchid's curved blade swung across Sigmund Feron's neck, sending a head soaring into the air.
"Damn it! You will pay for this!" Bond Hampton roared, his eyes crimson.
"I'll kill you all!"
