Chapter 1865: Internal Strife Settled
“Billy, are you okay?” Harleen and the others quickly walked over.
“I’m fine,” Billy shook his head in response.
As he spoke, he roughly checked everyone’s condition. Although they had some injuries, none were life-threatening.
“Boss, what should we do with this old guy?” Azure Dragon pointed at Alvin Huff.
“Just kill him!” Ian Blade replied, raising his blade to strike.
“Mr. Billy!” At that moment, a woman’s voice called out again.
Everyone looked over and saw Celine Quinn, followed by Erica Cardenas and two elders from the Late Stage of Perceiving Dao Realm.
“You arrived just in time!” White Tiger glanced at them.
Casey and the others also wore displeased expressions.
Star Palace had known about their actions tonight but only showed up now. Were they just watching from the sidelines?
“Mr. Billy, sorry for being late!” Celine Quinn apologized to Billy. “There was an issue at the military camp that we had to handle first. I apologize for the delay!”
“It’s fine,” Billy replied calmly.
“The Huff family had arranged another group at the Blood Guard Camp and Imperial Guard Camp,” Celine Quinn continued after taking a deep breath.
“According to their orders, if Star Palace sent people to the Huff family manor tonight, that group would incite chaos in the military camps.”
“I underestimated their influence in the Blood Guard and Praetorian Guard. Nearly two-thirds of our elite forces were swayed by them.”
“It took us a lot of time to deal with those people, so we arrived late. I hope you understand, Mr. Billy.”
“Two-thirds?” Casey’s mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this.
Azure Dragon and White Tiger also looked exasperated.
It was ironic that more than half of Akabuchi Star Palace’s strongest teams were not under the palace master’s control!
“Most of them had no choice,” Erica Cardenas responded from the side.
“The old witch from the Huff family secretly controlled their families recently, forcing them to obey.”
“That old woman named Aubrianna Huff?” Judge asked.
“Yes,” Erica Cardenas nodded.
“So how did you deal with them? Did you kill all the rebels?” Judge pressed on.
“We didn’t kill those who were forced; Star Palace rescued their families,” Erica Cardenas explained.
“Alright then,” Judge shrugged.
“Mr. Billy, I apologize again…” Celine Quinn continued to address Billy.
“It’s fine,” Billy interrupted her. “What grudge does Aubrianna Huff have with Mr. Vasquez?”
“When Aubrianna Huff was young, she was not only the most beautiful woman in Akabuchi City but also a rare talented genius in the Huff family with exceptional martial arts skills,” Celine Quinn said thoughtfully.
Judge and Soul Chaser both choked on their saliva simultaneously.
Casey and Azure Dragon’s mouths twitched several times as well.
It was hard for everyone to associate that woman with being the most beautiful in Akabuchi City!
“She should have had a wonderful life,” Celine Quinn continued, ignoring everyone’s expressions. “But she fell in love with someone who didn’t love her, and her life went off track.”
“What do you mean?” Felicia asked. “Who did she fall in love with?”
“My great-grandfather,” Celine Quinn replied.
“Oh?” Azure Dragon and the others were taken aback.
“Aubrianna Huff had top-notch talent and beauty, but she was narrow-minded, which was one reason my great-grandfather didn’t feel anything for her,” Celine Quinn continued.
“She stubbornly believed my great-grandfather didn’t love her because of other women.”
“Later, she left Akabuchi City for nearly twenty years. When she returned, she was unmatched in skill.”
“And then?” Felicia asked again.
“When she came back, she killed three of my great-grandfather’s close companions overnight,” Celine Quinn said after taking a deep breath.
“When she was about to attack my great-grandmother, Mr. Vasquez happened to see it and saved her.”
“In that battle, both she and Mr. Vasquez were seriously injured. After that day, she lay low for a while.”
“Half a month later, my great-grandfather found her and fought hundreds of rounds with her.”
“Due to her injuries not being fully healed, her combat strength declined. She was severely injured and knocked off a cliff by my great-grandfather.”
“Everyone thought she was dead, but she survived.”
“I see,” everyone finally understood after hearing her explanation.
“The Huff family’s rebellious intentions over the years must be related to her?” Vermilion Bird asked.
“Obviously,” Celine Quinn nodded.
At that moment, a figure fell from the sky, hitting the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
It was Aubrianna Huff!
Judging by her condition, she didn’t have much time left!
Soon after, Kymani Vasquez landed not far from them, with some injuries but nothing serious.
“Greetings, Mr. Vasquez!” Celine Quinn bowed.
“Greetings, Mr. Vasquez!” Erica Cardenas and the two elders behind her also bowed.
“Hmm,” Kymani Vasquez nodded slightly. “Is everything settled at the military camp?”
“In response to Mr. Vasquez, there’s still some cleanup work left. My father is handling it and should finish soon,” Celine Quinn replied.
“Tell your father to be prepared. Tonight’s events will likely reach Great Blue Star Domain soon, and they will probably send people here quickly,” Kymani Vasquez continued.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“Understood!” Celine Quinn nodded seriously.
“How are you? Are you alright?” Kymani Vasquez asked Billy next.
“Thank you for your concern, senior. I’m fine,” Billy bowed in response.
“There will be several tough battles ahead. Consolidate your cultivation as soon as possible. It would be best if you could break through before the battles,” Kymani Vasquez advised.
“I understand,” Billy nodded.
“By the way, don’t stay at the inn anymore. There’s an empty estate at the foot of the southern mountain. You can move there,” Kymani Vasquez suggested as if he had just remembered it.
“Thank you, senior!” Billy bowed again.
Catherine Foreman, Lydia Wooler, and Celine Quinn had all mentioned accommodations before, but he had politely declined each time.
This time, since it was Kymani Vasquez’s kind offer, he didn’t refuse.
Besides, he needed a quiet place to stay for a while.
“Alright then, I’ll leave these two to you,” Kymani Vasquez said to Celine Quinn, pointing at Aubrianna Huff and Alvin Huff before taking off into the sky after greeting everyone else.
“Princess, we’ll take our leave now!”
Billy then said goodbye to them and left with Harleen and the others.
