Chapter 17 Long Time No See
“Your Honor, is there any misunderstanding about this matter today?” Garth eased his tone slightly and took a few difficult steps before looking at Judge and asking. Garth wouldn’t be reckless enough to not take SHADOW seriously. He had self-awareness. If SHADOW wanted to deal with the Thunder family, it wouldn’t take half an hour to completely destroy them.
“May I ask, Your Honor, who is this person?” Garth pointed at Billy with a trembling hand.
“Commander, did they do it?” Judge ignored Garth and turned to ask Billy.
Billy nodded slightly.
With that, the men on Judge’s side drew their swords and roared. After the roaring waves passed, the pressure and momentum over the entire mansion became even more intense.
People on the side of Garth felt like their knees buckled.
“I… I can’t stand it anymore ” One of the gunmen in black shouted out, “I’ll fight you all!”
Then he aimed at Billy and pulled the trigger.
At that moment, a cold crescent moon blade flew out like a flash of lightning. After colliding with the bullet at high speed, it spun back into Judge’s hand and the bullet fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
“Take their guns off!” Billy began.
20 young men nodded and rushed towards the hundred black-clad men in a flash.
Whoosh!
In a moment, those hands holding guns were cut and fell to the ground, blood gushing from the wounds.
Hysterical screams and cries echoed throughout the entire mansion. In less than two minutes, all a hundred people in black collapsed on the ground, wailing in pain.
Upon seeing this, the other members of the Thunder family trembled with fear and quickly threw their weapons to the ground to surrender.
Just then, there came another hurried footsteps sound at the entrance. In the next moment, two or three hundred fully armed soldiers in military attire rushed into the estate. As the new comers saw the severed hands on the ground, they all felt shocked. When their eyes went to the men with a curved blade, they shivered with their faces filled with fear.
“General Moreno?!”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
After seeing Baxter Moreno, who was leading the special forces, Garth, who had been plunged into despair, seemed to have grasped a lifeline.
“General, you have come just in time. These people have illegally broken into a civilian house, violating laws and regulations, and using cruel methods. Please let your people catch them all.”
“Shut up!” Baxter roared, then turned to the group of man in fine silk clothes and asked, “Excuse me, which one of you is Judge?”
“Who are you?” Judge turned to Baxter and asked.
“Your Honor. I am Baxter Moreno from the Cloud City battle zone. I have long heard of your great name and today, it is my honor to meet you.” Baxter slightly bowed.
“Cloud City battle zone?”
Judge glanced at the group of men in military attire and then spoke, “Are you here to arrest the people of SHADOW?”
“Your Honor, you have misunderstood!” Baxter shuddered all over. “I just heard that you’ve come to Cloud City. I don’t know what big event has happened, so I came specially to see if you have any orders.”
After a slight pause, Baxter continued, “Your Honor, what exactly happened that requires you to personally come all the way to Cloud City?”
Judge snorted and said, “You guys from Cloud City are amazing! In Cloud City, someone had the audacity to kidnap other children in order to perform a heart transplant for his own granddaughter. It’s truly outrageous!”
“Hmm?” Baxter was slightly taken aback and puzzled. Although that was heinous, it must not be simple since Judge personally brought a thousand SHADOW members to Cloud City for processing. Then, Baxter had a thought that the child kidnapped was special.
Baxter pointed towards Billy and Casey’s backs and asked softly, “Your Honor, who are those two?”
“General Moreno, I never expected you to come to Cloud City. It’s been so long since we last met. How have you been?” Just then, Billy turned around and greeted him.
As soon as Baxter recognized Billy, he twas shocked. Without any hesitation, he knelt on one knee.
“Commander!”
Everyone present apart from Casey and SHADOW personnel gasped in shock at this scene.
What on earth was happening here? They actually saw the leader of Cloud City’s first battle zone, pay such a great tribute to the young man in front of him. Even the group of soldiers in uniform brought by Baxter were equally shocked. In their eyes, their leader was made of iron and blood, who had never showed such respect to anyone before. And standing not far behind Baxter, Edmond had had an answer in his heart. Based on his understanding of Baxter Moreno, there was only one person who could make him bow down and pay respects- the legendary King of the West, the head of SHADOW, Billy Gardner.
Garth and his brother felt their knees weak and slumped down. Baxter had taken away their last straw. Even if they were stupid, they knew that that man was a big shot since even Baxter paid homage to him.
The Thunder family had reached its end.
“Get up and speak!” Billy raised his hand.
“Thank you, Commander!” Baxter’s voice was unusually excited with admiration in his eyes. He used to be a member of Army Bloodshadow as the vice general of Black Tortoise, one of the four famous generals in the army. And he had gone through many fierce battles alongside Billy. Later, he withdrew from the Bloodshadow and came to Cloud City. His life was saved by Billy. Back then, he was trapped by an enemy deputy general and dispersed from the main team, eventually falling into the enemy’s encirclement. Although he fought back with all his might, due to the large number of enemy troops and the fact that he was already injured, he was pushed to the edge. And at that critical moment, Billy saved him. Billy killed nearly 10 thousand enemy soldiers with a Bloodshadow saber. Every time he thought that story, it really got him hot and excited.
