Chapter 82 Rakshasa
Five minutes later, Billy and his group arrived at a small meeting room within the base.
“Thank you for saving our lives, Commander Gardner and Captain Casey!” Clay and Marvin both bowed, their eyes filled with excitement and admiration. They had heard of the renowned commander before -he was an absolute powerhouse in martial arts. Not only was he respected in the western region, but throughout the entire country as well.
“Alright,” Billy waved his hand. “Tell us about Rakshasa. What is her connection to Place of Darkness?”
“Rakshasa is from the Chasey family.” Roderick spoke up.
“Hmm?” Billy raised an eyebrow. “The Chasey family in the capital?”
“Yes,” Roderick nodded. “She went to Place of Darkness years ago and established Rakshasa Hall there, becoming its leader. She has done a lot for our country over these years. Not too long ago, some people from Blood Hall surrounded a team from the inspectorate who were on a mission. They contacted her and Rakshasa led her people to kill those from Blood Hall. I don’t know where Blood Hall got the news and they sent two men to attack Rakshasa Hall later. Rakshasa was injured badly under the attack of the two allied opponents and was saved by us after she escaped from them narrowly.
“Blood Hall?” Billy furrowed his brows slightly. “The one ranked fifth in the overall power rankings of Place of Darkness?”
“Yes!” Roderick nodded solemnly. He knew exactly what it meant to be able to rank in the top five organizations in Place of Darkness. If they were to unleash their full force, they could easily destroy a small country.
“Blood Hall’s people were completely wiped out in Ozin this time, and they won’t give up!” Billy spoke again. “What’s your plan? Are you going to keep Rakshasa in Ozin?”
“We… we consulted with the capital,” Clay hesitated before speaking. “The response we got was that Rakshasa can only stay in Ozin until her injuries have fully healed.”
“A bunch of old bastards!” Casey frowned, which surprised Roderick, since only Billy and a few others dared to call those individuals old bastards in all the land.
“Mr Gardner, I am not talented enough.” Roderick took a deep breath before continuing.
“Will Rakshasa be able to leave once she has recovered?” Billy interrupted him.
“Yes,” Roderick nodded again. “After all, Rakshasa belongs to one side or another world and will eventually return.”
“Where is she? Bring her here so I can see how badly injured she is!”
“What do you want us to do, sir?” Clay asked with a slight confusion.
“Just call her over already! Why so much nonsense?” Casey said sternly. “Do you know that Mr Gardner’s medical skills are even more superior than his martial arts skills?”
Roderick and his two companions gasped in shock, their faces full of disbelief.
“Go and bring her out to see if she can be cured. If so, let her leave as soon as possible. Ozin City cannot withstand too much turmoil.” Said Billy.
Ozin was not only the city where he had lived for many years, but also the place where he would spend his life with the person he wanted to protect. So, he did not want it to be in crisis.
“Please wait a moment, Mr Gardner!” Clay got up and walked towards the door.
“Sir, I heard you cut off one of Roy’s arms at Buddha Hall?” Roderick looked at Billy and asked.
“The news spreads so fast?” Billy replied calmly.
“Sir, people from Buddha Hall are especially protective of their own kind…” Roderick continued speaking.
“I don’t care about them!” Billy interrupted him, “If there is a next time, it won’t just be an arm!”
Roderick had long heard that Billy Garner was the most courageous among the five kings. Now it seemed that it was true. If it were his direct superior Jake dealing with people from Buddha Hall, he wouldn’t be so bold.
“Mr Gardner, Rakshasa is here.” Soon after Clay spoke outside the door.
Billy and two others turned their heads, only to see a young woman following behind Clay. Age-wise, Rakshasa was similar to Billy, with delicate features and natural beauty. She had a tall and curvaceous figure, with black hair tied up at the back of her head. To anyone who didn’t know her, it was hard to imagine such a stunning beauty being associated with Place of Darkness. However, at this moment Rakshasa’s face was white as sheet. Her martial arts aura was in disarray and she looked weak and tired.
“Thank you for helping me out, Mr Gardner!” Rakshasa bowed to Billy with excitement in her eyes. She was both excited and shocked that this young man who was almost the same age as her could stand firm on his own country’s borders, intimidate all the countries on the western front line and make small-time crooks tremble in fear.
Even in Place of Darkness overseas, there were legends about Billy Gardner. It was said that once an S-class wanted criminal fled to Place of Darkness from Glavale and hid in a gang ranking sixth at that time. Billy probed into the belly of Place of Darkness with one of his subordinates and confronted the leader of the gang to let them hand the criminal over. However, the gang leader looked down upon Billy and refused. Later, what had happened to that gang impressed the whole Place of Darkness. Billy and his companion exterminated the gang in less than ten minutes, killing thousands of gangsters.
It was from that incident that Rakshasa became curious about Captain Gardner. At the time, Rakshasa Hall was ranked in the top ten at Place of Darkness, but she knew she wasn’t a heavyweight compared to Billy. Being ranked sixth there meant there were at least five Battle Gods present. But according to rumors, those five Battle Gods were slaughtered by Billy Gardner without even having a chance to fight back.
Billy nodded and said to Rakshasa. “Take a seat and let me check your pulse.”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Sorry for troubling you.” Said Rakshasa as she sat down.
Billy then placed his hand on her wrist and checked her pulse for three minutes.
“I’m truly impressed. Despite your injuries, you’ve managed to hold on until now.”
