Chapter 539 The Intention Behind
"Boss, did you really break through three levels in one go?" Stout wore an exaggerated expression.
Casey and Azure Dragon also showed a hint of excitement on their faces.
"Yeah!" Billy nodded with a smile.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
The three of them collectively took a sharp breath. Although they were mentally prepared, confirmation of the breakthrough still excited them immensely.
"Great! From now on, if those small fries in the ancient martial world dare to jump around, just level their sects!" Stout said with a grin, and then, as if recalling something, he added, "Oh, boss, I forgot to tell you something. I found out from my sister during a call yesterday that she also broke through a few days ago. She's now at the early stage of God-Emperor Realm!"
"Oh?" Billy raised an eyebrow. "Did the old man permit her breakthrough?"
Ivy Chandler's breakthrough to the early stage of War God-Emperor upon one attempt was already within his expectations. However, Billy didn't anticipate that Ivy would also achieve the breakthrough during this specific timeframe.
Stout nodded. "Yeah! According to my sister, it seems the ironclad rule of Ether Mountain will probably be lifted soon, so the old man allowed her to break through. If nothing unexpected happens, the old man will probably notify you in the next couple of days."
"Hmm." Billy nodded thoughtfully.
Looking at it from this perspective, the situation within the realm didn't seem optimistic.
A few minutes later, a somewhat urgent sound of footsteps echoed outside the base gate. Soon, a group of two hundred people walked in.
Leading the group was Aquilandia's Prime Minister, Caruno, walking side by side with Andra. Just from Andra's attitude, one could tell that he, who held a special status, didn't regard Caruno, the Prime Minister, highly. Behind them were a hundred people each. The ones behind Andra were dressed in the uniforms of Aquilandia's palace guards, each with a solemn expression and a powerful aura. Even the weakest among them was at the late stage of the Warlord Realm.
"Prime Minister!" Rukchi greeted Caruno as he stood up. Simultaneously, he glanced at Andra, feeling a bit puzzled.
Why did the Prime Minister bring Andra along? Were they here to seek peace or declare war?
"Lord Rukchi, sorry for the trouble." After addressing Rukchi, Caruno turned to Billy and bowed respectfully.
"I am Aquilandia's Prime Minister, Caruno, greetings, Commander Gardner!" He kept his posture low.
"Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Caruno's actions, Andra furrowed his brows.
"You are Aquilandia's Prime Minister, representing the face of Aquilandia. He's just a small supervisor in Glavale. What qualifications does he have to receive such respect from you?"
After hearing Andra's words, Caruno's brows slightly furrowed, but he remained silent.
Rukchi, feeling a shiver, quickly spoke up, "Lord Andra, why don't you greet Commander Gardner..."
He understood Billy Gardner's position in Glavale very well; how could you summarize him as just a regional supervisor?
"Lord Rukchi, it seems you're a bit confused. You want me to bow to him?" Andra interrupted, waving his hand. "Enough, rest aside and don't interrupt. I'll handle this matter!" After saying this, he turned to Billy, adopting a commanding tone.
"Are you King of the West, Commander Gardner from Glavale? Did you kill our people from Aquilandia?" Andra questioned.
"Aquilandia sent such an idiot for peace talks?" Azure Dragon remarked, shaking his head. Then he looked at Billy, "Boss, how about we just take care of him before talking?"
"I agree!" Stout added.
"You bastards, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this, do you believe..." Andra began shouting angrily.
Before he could finish, Billy's wrist flicked, and the saber swiftly shot out with a sharp blade.
"Hmm?" Andra didn't expect Billy to take direct action. His pupils contracted for a moment. However, confident in his own strength, he didn't retreat and sent a palm wind to meet it.
However, he clearly overestimated
himself. Without any surprises, the blade flashed past his shoulder, cleanly severing his arm, which fell to the ground shoulder-high, blood spraying out. It was evident that Billy deliberately spared him, or else he wouldn't have a chance to survive.
Rukchi took another sharp breath, shocked once again. He didn't anticipate Billy to draw his weapon so readily. He knew Andra's status in Aquilandia, and if he were killed here, it would lead to a significant crisis.
"Damn it! You actually disabled one of my arms. I'll make you pay for this!" The next moment, Andra, full of anger, roared.
Then he waved his hand, "All of you, attack! Kill them!"
A hundred palace guards behind Andra simultaneously activated their auras.
"If you don't want to die, stop!" Caruno barked at the group.
"Country Minister, you better straighten out your position!" Andra yelled, "I strongly suspect you've been colluding with Glavale!"
"Lord Andra, mind your words!" Caruno furrowed his brows.
"Whether it's true or not, we'll discuss it later when we return!" Andra waved his hand again, saying, "Everyone, charge! Anyone who disobeys will face the country's law!"
Andra, as a key minister in Aquilandia's cabinet, commanded the royal guards directly. Moreover, these one hundred men were his trusted subordinates, so his orders carried great authority among them. "Affirmative!" The hundred royal guards responded in unison.
"Everyone, fall back!" Caruno frowned again, shouting loudly.
However, these royal guards only followed Andra's commands, paying no attention to Caruno, the country minister.
"Hold it!" Rukchi shouted simultaneously, "Stop!"
"Casey, take action, kill them all!" Billy said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Casey and the others responded and rushed towards the opponents.
"I think you're looking for death!" Andra couldn't care less about the pain in his severed arm and attacked Casey.
However, despite being at the War
God-Emperor Realm, with one arm
missing, he was no match for
Casey. In less than three rounds, Casey beheaded him. At the moment of death, it seemed like he had some realization. At the crucial moment, it appeared that the Sovereign, knowing Andra's character, was sure that
negotiations wouldn't go in a
reconciliatory direction. Still, Fecocci sent him along with Caruno, intending to use Glavale's power to kill him.
By doing this, the Sovereign probably couldn't tolerate Andra anymore. However, out of respect for their mentor, he didn't take direct
action. This time, Andra took then &
initiative to volunteer for
ve
negotiations and deliberately provoked Glavale's King of the West. Now, being killed, he couldn't blame anyone but himself-purely his own fault!
