Chapter 449 People From Northfortia
"Darling, just activate your cultivation method for two days, and you'll be fine." Billy said with a smile.
"Okay!" Harleen nodded, her face flushed. Twenty minutes later, she opened her eyes again, looking as lively as ever. "Billy, why do I feel like there's suddenly an extra source of energy in my body that doesn't belong to me?" Harleen asked. "Yes," Billy nodded, "that's the condensed energy I sealed within you to prevent situations like today from happening again." "What do you mean?" Harleen looked a bit puzzled.
"If you ever find yourself in a life-threatening situation again, your consciousness will trigger that condensed energy immediately, and its power will be almost as strong as if I had intervened personally." Billy explained. "However, it can only be used once, and once it's used, it's gone."
"Really?" Harleen was surprised.
"Yes," Billy smiled faintly, "the path of martial arts is vast and profound, and there are many things you haven't encountered yet. You'll learn in due time."
"Thank you, dear!" Harleen nodded appreciatively.
"Take a rest for a while. I need to talk to Judge about something." Billy continued.
"Alright." Harleen agreed.
"Boss, how is Mrs Knight?" Judge and Stout approached, concerned.
"She's fine now," Billy replied, "Did you find out anything from them?"
"Yes," Judge nodded. "The woman is the daughter of the Prime Minister of Nanrania, and she was here for revenge on behalf of her father and brother."
"Oh?" Billy raised an eyebrow. "Is she the woman sent to a western country to be a concubine by Nanrania?"
"Yes," Judge confirmed. "The two men were from her paramour's family."
"Which family is that?" Billy asked.
"The Gosa family. They're one of the ten major families in Northfortia and has many members serving in the Military Department of Northfortia." Judge explained. "The woman's paramour is a Deputy Commander in the Military Department of Northfortia."
"Besides, the people boss killed in Nanrania last time included several members of the Gosa family."
"I see," Billy said thoughtfully. "Give Casey a call and have him come to Ozin immediately."
"Are you planning to visit Northfortia?" Stout asked.
"It's understandable if they want revenge," Billy replied. "If they had targeted only me, the lives of those three would have been enough to make amends. But unfortunately, they went after Harleen." Billy's eyes turned cold. "Today, if it weren't for Nine Needles of Secret Essences, Harleen wouldn't have survived even with ten lives."
His meaning was clear. Harleen had nearly suffered a grave tragedy, and the lives of those three were far from enough. "Understood," Stout said, getting Billy's point. "Boss, maybe we don't need to make a special trip to Northfortia."
"What do you mean?" Billy asked.
"From what that woman implied," Stout continued, "she seems to have some secrets about her paramour that no one knows about. If we spread the news of her being captured back to Northfortia, her paramour might personally come to Glavale to rescue her."
Billy raised an eyebrow. "Do you know what kind of information she's holding?"
"She'd rather die than talk," Judge responded. "But I haven't ordered our guys to use any interrogation methods yet. I'm worried she might commit suicide. So, I wanted to hear your thoughts first. So, should we take a direct approach and send our people to Northfortia, or should we have this woman call her paramour to Glavale?"
"Tell her, she has three days. If her man doesn't show up by then, I'll wipe out every clan related to her in Nanrania." "Got it!" Judge replied firmly and left the room.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Around 11 a. m., Billy and Stout had just dropped Tasha off at school when Billy's phone rang. It was Bob Stokes.
"Bob, people from Northfortia are here?" Billy answered the call and smiled.
"Boss, you're amazing. How did you know?" Bob Stokes was a bit surprised. "They want to see you. Did something happen?"
"They're here to retrieve someone." Billy laughed and said.
He then briefly explained the situation.
"Those bastards, do they have the guts to come and get someone?" Bob Stokes burst out with a curse. "Boss, let me handle them, and we'll talk later! "No rush, let them wait. I'll be in the capital shortly."
"We don't need to make it so complicated. After all, we'll have to deal with them sooner or later. What's the point of acting now?" asked Bob. "They must have come to Glavale in the form of a visiting delegation, right? Why did you want to deal with them for no reason?" asked Billy. "Who cares!" Bob Stokes replied. "They dared to make a move against you and Mrs Knight. Let me show them how it's done..."
"Alright, let's leave it at that. I'll come to the capital soon, and we can talk more then." Billy interrupted him with a smile and hung up the phone. "Boss, have the people from Northfortia arrived?" After Billy hung up the phone, Stout asked.
"Yes," Billy nodded slightly.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"The people from Northfortia sure have an attitude. They're looking for someone in Ozin, but they went to the capital to demand it!" Stout grumbled. "How about we have Bob pass them a message to come to Ozin?" he suggested.
"No need," Billy narrowed his eyes slightly.
An hour later, a fighter jet shot from
the Ozin War Department towards the capital. Around eleven o'clock in
the afternoon, Billy and Stout walked
out of the capital airport.
"Boss!" At the exit, Night Orchid and Brigham Bush hurriedly approached.
"Yes, let's talk in the car," Billy said with a faint smile as he walked towards the vehicle.
The four of them got into the car, and Brigham Bush hit the gas pedal, heading towards the Central Sky Office.
"Boss, is Mrs Knight okay?" As the car pulled out, Night Orchid asked.
Billy had already briefly explained the situation to her on the way there.
"She's fine," Billy shook his head and asked, "How's the situation in the northern district been these past few months? Anything unusual?"
"We haven't noticed anything so far,"
Night Orchid shook her head and
added, "It's just that it seems like the hidden aristocratic families and sects from various regions have been moving around more frequently."
"Understandable," Billy chuckled. "In the past half year, the clan system has faced one crisis after another, and with those top-tier sects being overthrown overnight. Lips and teeth share a common fate, they should be feeling a chill. I bet they're trying to figure out how to counterattack."
"Yeah," Night Orchid nodded in agreement.
"You should have our brothers below keep an eye out, with a focus on whether there are any members of those super sects." Billy instructed.
"Got it," Night Orchid nodded again.
"Have you called home recently? Is everything okay?" They continued to discuss work for a while, and then Billy looked at Night Orchid and changed the topic with a smile.
