"Your SHADOW organization is out of control!" Alexander Hall shouted in anger.
"Sir, Commander Gardner has been in Ozin recently. Should we invite him over to discuss this with him and hear his opinion?" Clay Yates took a deep breath and spoke to Alexander Hall.
For him, he didn't want to get into a conflict with SHADOW over this matter. On the one hand, he firmly believed that Spike Arnold's charges were definitely false accusations. He had been in Ozin for many years and had worked with Spike Arnold several times before. He knew exactly what kind of person Spike Arnold was - upright, selfless, and absolutely deserving of the title Ebony Lord.
On the other hand, he sincerely admired Billy from the bottom of his heart. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to stand against Billy Gardner.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Billy's character, if Alexander Hall continued to cause trouble like this again, he would definitely not be able to get away unscathed. They would have to take revenge on them later.
"We're here for business purposes only! Not here for small talk!" Alexander Hall interrupted him directly.
"But..." Clay Yates frowned slightly.
"That's enough! You have nothing else to do here! Go stand aside!" Alexander turned to Judge and continued, "I'm telling you now that even if God himself comes down today I will still take Ebony Lord away!"
"You're shameless!" Judge glanced at him, "I'd like to see how you plan on taking our SHADOW honorary elder away!"
"You better not push me too far or else..." Alexander Hall felt himself getting closer and closer towards the edge of rage. He was the Provincial Governor, a respected and revered figure wherever he went. But now, he was being treated with such disrespect.
Although Judge held the same administrative rank as him, he believed that the Provincial Governor's office was superior to SHADOW. So between peers, he had to be at least half a level higher than them. So in his eyes, Judge was committing an offense by speaking out of turn.
"You talk too much. If you want to fight then come on! If you don't dare then get lost!" Judge interrupted him.
"You bastard! How dare you speak to the Provincial Governor like that?" A bald man from his entourage pointed at Judge and shouted angrily.
"If you point your finger again, don't blame me for what happens next!" Alban Carroll flicked his wrist and produced a cold crescent moon blade in his hand.
"What did you say?" The bald man frowned and turned towards Alban Carroll, "You are obstructing an official proceeding. Do you believe..."
Before the words could fully escape, a swift blade gleam shot out, passing directly by the man's fingertips.
Before the words could fully escape, a swift blade gleam shot out, passing directly by the man's fingertip. The next moment, the man's index finger was seen dropping to the ground, a jet of blood spewing forth.
"Ah..." The man let out a painful cry.
"Rascal!" Alexander Hall roared, raising his hand and swiping his palm toward Alban Carroll.
"Get lost!" Judge's gaze darkened, and with a similar movement, his palm swept horizontally.
Boom!
Suddenly, two fighters collided with a dull roar, sending a powerful shockwave rippling outwards and causing the clothes of the surrounding crowd to flutter wildly. In the next moment, Alexander Hall was sent staggering backwards seven or eight steps, his blood boiling within him and threatening to burst forth from his mouth.
"A Grand Elder Battle God?" he gasped in disbelief as he regained his footing.
He had thought that Judge was at most on par with himself as a Tier-two Battle God, but it turned out that Judge had already reached the peak level!
"Surprised?" Judge sneered at him. "Do you still want to make noise about taking Spike Arnold away?"
Alexander Hall let out a heavy sigh, his mouth twitching several times. "Commander Gardner, it's my duty to do this. Please understand..."
"Commander Gardner, isn't this a bit hasty?" Before Alexander Hall could finish speaking, the bald man from earlier furrowed his brow and spoke up.
"Hmm?" Billy turned to face him with a cold expression.
"Harry, shut your mouth!" Alexander Hall immediately shouted in anger at the man's words.
"I'm just stating facts..." The bald man retorted stubbornly.
"How dare you!" Judge spoke up sternly. "You're going against authority and being rebellious! Take him away!"
"Yes sir!" Alban Carroll responded loudly as he walked towards the bald man.
"Commander Gardner, please forgive these subordinates who don't know their place." Alexander Hall quickly bowed his head and apologized.
"If they don't know their place and as their superior officer, if you haven't taught them properly then I'll have my SHADOW team teach them what it means to follow rules!" Billy replied firmly.
"Harry! What are you waiting for? Apologize to Commander Gardner now!" Alexander Hall took a deep breath before turning towards Harry Lewis and shouting at him loudly.
"I..." Harry Lewis looked reluctant and unhappy about apologizing.
Before he could finish speaking, Clay Yates flipped his wrist and swung his large blade towards him. A cold glint flashed by!
