"Hmm?" The four men shuddered simultaneously and stood up. Moments later, Billy and Frostblade appeared at the door.
"You bastards!" Frostblade exclaimed angrily when she saw the woman on the couch.
"Oh! Another beautiful woman?" The man with the ponytail, slightly taken aback, approached Frostblade, his Adam's apple moving.
"Who are you people? Don't you value your lives?" The man who had been the strongest among the four, possessing the strength of a Half-Step Warlord, frowned. Although he couldn't detect Billy's aura, he sensed a strong sense of danger from Frostblade.
"Boss, what should we do?" Frostblade turned to Billy.
"Leave one of them, kill the other three." Billy said coldly.
Frostblade had been itching to take action and, upon hearing Billy's words, she drew her curved blade and struck.
"Hey, bitch..." The man with the ponytail pointed at Frostblade and was about to curse.
However, before he could finish speaking, the blade flashed past his heart. He struggled to open his mouth but couldn't say a word. He collapsed stiffly, twitched a few times, and then went still, lifeless.
"Shane!"
"Shane!"
The remaining three men simultaneously cried out in pain. Before they could react, Frostblade unleashed two more icy strikes. The other two men hadn't realized what was happening and felt a cold sensation in their throats. They opened their mouths, and a large amount of blood gushed out from their throats. After that, they fell to the ground heavily, their legs twitching briefly before they went silent.
"Ah!" The woman let out a scream, and her eyes rolled back as she fainted.
The last man, who was the only one remaining, quickly rushed towards the window. Frostblade's skills were far superior to his, and he knew that staying behind would be a death sentence. However, he had overestimated himself. Before he could take two steps, a shockwave lifted him up to the ceiling. He crashed heavily onto the floor, coughing up a large mouthful of blood. At least half of his bones were broken, and he lay there dying, unable to move.
"War Grandmaster realm..." He struggled to raise his head, his face filled with horror.
With his cultivation, he could only sense the aura of someone in the War Grandmaster realm. If he had known that Billy was in the War Emperor realm, he would probably have been scared out of his wits.
"Who... who are you people?" He gasped for breath, struggling to speak.
"My last name is Gardner, and I'm from the Western Territory." Billy said calmly as he walked up to the man.
"What?!" The man trembled all over, as if he had seen a ghost. "Are you... are you Commander Gardner, the King of the West?"
"Congratulations, you got it right." Billy said as he sat down on the couch. "If you don't want to suffer, tell me why you massacred the Dittman family."
"We... we did it for the money. Someone offered us five billion to find something at the Dittman family."
"What kind of thing?" Billy asked.
"It's... it's a formula, but we don't know the specifics."
"Where is it?"
"We... we didn't get it. It's probably not at the Dittman family..."
"Who is your employer?"
"He is..." the man began to speak.
Just then, a sniper bullet flew in through the window, making a faint whistling sound, and pierced the back of the man's head. A cloud of blood mist exploded from the back of the man's head, and he immediately collapsed, lifeless.
"Hmm?" Billy frowned. He hadn't expected there to be a sniper, so he didn't react in time.
"Damn it!" Frostblade quickly ran to the window and scanned the area, but she didn't find anything. After a brief pause, she turned to Billy and asked, "Boss..."
"How did they know we were coming to find these people?" Billy interrupted her.
Frostblade was slightly taken aback, then she realized, "Are you suggesting that someone leaked our location?"
"It's too coincidental for an assassin to show up just at this time." Billy said with a slight narrowing of his eyes.
Frostblade furrowed her brows. "Could it be someone from Eleanor Lawson's side?"
"It's also possible that it was an inside job." Billy said thoughtfully.
Frostblade heaved a sigh and took out her phone, dialing Wally Hammond's number.
"Governor Frostblade!" Wally answered the call.
"Take a look at the ten people you brought to the restaurant earlier. Confiscate their phones. They are not allowed to leave the base until I return." Frostblade instructed sternly.
"What happened?"
"Just do as I say for now, and I'll explain later when I get back."
"Yes!"
Five minutes later, Billy and Frostblade drove to the SHADOW base.
"How much does Eleanor Lawson know?" Billy asked as the car pulled out.
Since they were looking for these people, both SHADOW members and Eleanor Lawson's people were under suspicion.
"I've known her for about a year," Frostblade replied. "We met during an investigation. She was a witness and needed her assistance. Since then, she occasionally comes to SHADOW to spar with me and, on occasion, invites me out for a meal. Besides that, we don't have much contact. But based on what I know of her, she doesn't seem like someone with deep political motives." All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Okay," Billy nodded slightly in agreement.
An hour later, Billy and Frostblade arrived at their destination.
"Commander Gardner, Governor Frostblade!" Wally Hammond hurriedly approached them.
"Where are the people?" Frostblade asked.
"They're all in the conference room." Wally Hammond led the way as they walked further into the base, asking as they went, "What exactly happened?"
"Someone leaked our location, and an assassin was sent to eliminate witnesses." Frostblade explained the situation.
"What?" Wally was shocked after hearing the story. He had received a call from Frostblade earlier in the morning, instructing him to bring a group of trustworthy people to this location. In response, he had carefully selected a batch of individuals he believed were completely reliable. But now, this incident had occurred, and he didn't know how to explain it to the Commander and the Governor.
"It's too early to draw conclusions now. They're just suspects, not necessarily the culprits. First, get the files of those ten people." Frostblade continued to instruct.
"Yes!" Wally Hammond nodded, his mood slightly calmed.
"Frostblade, you two be careful in your approach, so you don't upset our fellow comrades." Billy added.
"We understand!" Frostblade and Wally both nodded in agreement.
