Chapter 66 Punishment, Losing an Arm
Roy was embarrassed. He knew Judge was strong, as one of the “five sharp blades” of SHADOW. How could he be an ordinary person? But he wouldn’t believe it if someone told him that he couldn’t even take a move from Judge’s hands. He was at least a Battle General.
But now, he finally believed it. Although there was only one word difference between “Battle General” and “Battle God”, there was a huge gap between them.
Moreover, what Roy didn’t realized was that if a Battle Gods exerted all their strength, one slap of them could kill dozens of Battle Generals.
“I admit I’m not your opponent! But anyway, I hope you can give me an explanation for why you want to kill my people from Buddha Hall. Don’t forget that when Buddha Hall and SHADOW were established in the beginning, it was clearly stipulated that mutual sparring between the two institutions is allowed but mutual killing is prohibited. Otherwise, it will be regarded as rebellion and punished by death!” Roy spoke up.
“Is that so? Do you know that SHADOW has the power to act first and report later?” Just then came another male voice.
Then Billy and Casey walked over leisurely. They received Judge’s call on their way back from Harleen’s house to the hotel. Judge called him not for help but to consult him on how to deal with people from Buddha Hall.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
If it were up to Judge, he would have killed them first. But he knew that doing so would cause trouble for Billy. There were already many people targeting Billy, looking for any small mistake to use against him. If he killed the person from Buddha Hall without thinking, those people would surely use it against Billy.
“Who are you?” Roy turned his head towards Billy and Casey.
As a supervisor of Buddha Hall and with most of their battles taking place overseas, it was reasonable that he didn’t recognize the master of SHADOW.
“Brother, you’re here!” Judge turned his head towards them.
“Commander!” The twenty SHADOW guards all shouted in unison upon seeing Billy.
They had finished their battle-all twenty opponents had fallen and lost any fighting power they once had.
Upon hearing how they addressed Billy, Roy trembled all over before collapsing onto the ground with a pale face. He never expected that this legendary figure would be in Ozin today. When he heard about Coman’s situation earlier in the morning, he didn’t know too many details except that someone from SHADOW was involved. But never did he imagine that King of the West and also the master of SHADOW was also present in Ozin City.
If Coman didn’t have a good reason to be killed, the master of SHADOW would never let this happen. And that thought filled him with foreboding.
“C-Commander…” Roy sounded tongue-tied.
“Aren’t you asking us why we killed Coman? Judge, give him the evidence and let him see for himself.”
“Got it!”
Judge then took out his phone and threw it in front of Roy. This phone was a special multifunctional phone made by SHADOW and every member had one. In addition to the functions of an ordinary phone, it could also connect to the internal network of SHADOW and access information according to different permissions. Moreover, this phone was also a life-saving tool for members of SHADOW, which could send out distress signals anytime and anywhere, even if there was no battery power left. And the system could still track its location.
“He… he deserved everything!”
Looking at the more than ten criminal evidence about Coman Watkins listed on the phone, Roy was consumed with immense regret.
“Now you know why we killed him?” asked Billy in a flat tone.
“Yes! I’m sorry, sir! It was my oversight, please punish me.” Roy pleaded with Billy.
“The prestige of SHADOW cannot be provoked. Since you didn’t know the truth, cut off one of your arms then.”
Roy cut off his left arm with his palm of blade right there without delay.
“Um…” Roy made a muffled sound.
“It’s a warning. If there’s another time, I’ll take your life! Get lost!”
“Thank you, sir!” Roy struggled to stand up, bowed again and then turned around and left.
…
“Dad, Dad!”
The next morning, Billy came alone to the Knight family. As soon as he entered the house, Tasha ran over to him.
“Tasha, would you like me to go for a walk with you today?” Billy bent down and picked up the little girl.
“Yes, I want to go play in the park!” Tasha danced with joy, “I haven’t been to the park for a long time, will you go with me, Dad?”
“Of course, no problem!” Billy responded with a smile.
“But we accompany your grandpa and grandma to look at a house this morning, and in the afternoon we will go to the park. Is that okay?”
“Okay! I want to go see the house! We want to buy a big, big house so that I can put lots and lots of toys in it.” Tasha responded.
“That’s settled then!”
Then he looked at the Fletcher couple and said, “Mr and Mrs Knight, it’s a nice sunny day today. Shall we go out together and take a look at the house?”
Fletcher nodded and said, “I was just talking about this with Sharon earlier!”
“Is that so? So, Mrs Knight, have you found any good properties?”
“I searched online last night and found a few neighborhoods nearby that look promising. We can go check them out.” Sharon replied.
“Alright then, let’s go!”
Later, they headed downstairs.
“Sharon!” Just then, a woman’s voice called out.
They turned to see a middle-aged woman in her 50s walking towards them with her husband and two young adults following behind her. She had applied heavy makeup on her face.
“Jaylee?” Sharon was slightly surprised to see her. “What brings you here today?”
“I heard you were back in Ozin so I came to find you.” The woman named Jaylee Norman spoke up. “I’m looking to buy a villa today and I need your help closing the deal.”
As she spoke, an air of smugness appeared on her face.
“So you’re buying a villa now?” asked Sharon, her eyes flickered with slight disappointment.
“Yes, my daughter is getting married in a few months and they feel like their current living conditions aren’t good enough. They want to take out a mortgage for a villa instead. And 3 months ago, her fiance was promoted as the department vice manager at one of the world’s top 500 companies. If he continues living in that old neighborhood, his colleagues will make fun of him. Oh right! I haven’t introduced Philip yet.” Said Jaylee.
“His surname is Hayward, his father is Calvin Hayward, an executive at one of the world’s top 500 companies as well as being well-connected here in Ozin.”
Watching Jaylee boast about herself, Billy exchanged glances with Harleen and her sister tacitly.
