Chapter 451 A Perfect Plan
"Outrageous!" Stan Mitchell furrowed his brows. "Who do you think you are, speaking to Commander Gardner in such a manner?"
"Just a small Glavale, acting like you're the master of the world?" The man continued in a contemptuous tone. "I talk like this wherever I go. Is that a problem?"
Harlan Holmes narrowed his eyes, then turned to a man from Ministry of Protocol and asked, "According to the regulations of your Ministry of Protocol, what should be the punishment for foreigners who disrespect a high-ranking Glavalean official?"
"Light punishment includes a formal apology, and a heavier one could result in expulsion from the country." The man from the Ministry of Protocol responded after a brief pause.
Harlan Holmes responded. "No provisions for execution?"
It seemed to Harlan Holmes that he was becoming more like one of Billy's people.
"Well," The man from the Ministry of Protocol twitched his mouth. "If the situation is extremely dire, then... it might not be out of the question."
"Then this behavior of his should be considered extremely dire, right?" Harlan Holmes continued. Afterward, he drew his sword and walked to that man from the Gosa family.
"What are you planning? Do you dare?" the man from the other side frowned. "Do you think my Northfortia is like those small countries around you? Just a little scare from you and I'd be frightened? If you dare today..."
"Give you three seconds, kneel down and apologize!" Harlan Holmes raised his knife and pointed it at the man, speaking in a low, menacing tone. "Otherwise, you're dead!"
For him, there should always be a show of force after a polite request, but he couldn't simply start by killing.
"Humph!" The man sneered. "You think I'd kneel to you Glavalean people? Unless I die..."
"Then you shall die!" Harlan Holmes narrowed his eyes and raised his sword to strike the man.
"Yas, be careful!" Another man from the group shouted urgently, taking two quick steps forward and using his palm to block Harlan Holmes' sword.
"Damn it! You deserve to die!" The man's body trembled slightly as he pointed angrily at Harlan Holmes. "You actually dare to..."
"You have some skill. Try taking another swing at me!" Harlan Holmes paid no attention to him and instead looked at the middle-aged man who had intervened. With that, his aura erupted in full force.
"Mr Holmes, let it go!" Billy said with a faint smile. He could tell that the man's skills were not inferior to Harlan Holmes, and in a direct confrontation, Harlan Holmes wouldn't have the upper hand. Moreover, for him, the outcome of these twenty people from Northfortia had been predetermined from the moment they entered Glavale's territory, so there was no hurry.
"Alright." Harlan didn't waste any words and simply stepped aside.
"Hey, you there! Didn't you want to meet my boss? Well, he's here now. Speak your piece!" Bob Stokes looked at the leader of the Northfortia group and spoke. "Insolent!" The woman from their group shouted angrily. "You're a high-ranking official from Central Sky Office of Glavale. Can't you mind your manners?"
"If I didn't mind, you'd all be dead by now!" Bob Stokes retorted coldly.
"You..." The woman's face turned red with anger.
"Enough!" The leader of their group raised his hand and then turned to Billy with a slight bow. "I've long heard of Commander Gardner's name, and it's an honor to meet you today." "State your name," Billy said calmly.
"I'm a member of Northfortia's cabinet, David Brown." Elder Thornen replied.
"Speak up. Why have you come all the way to Glavale to find me?" Billy continued.
"There are two main reasons we've
come to find you, Commander
Gardner," David began. "Firstly,
several important members of the Ministry of War in Northfortia were killed in Nanrania by your people. We hope Commander Gardner can
provide a reasonable explanation."
"Secondly, the girlfriend of our Deputy Commander of the Northfortia Ministry of War, should have been captured by Commander Gardner's people. We hope you can arrange a meeting between us."
"You old coot, you've got some
nerve! Are you serious about bringing up those Nanrania
bandits?" Before Billy could respond, Bob Stokes exclaimed, his voice full of disdain. "They incited Nanrania to provoke Glavale. Not cutting them into pieces was already showing them mercy!"
"What kind of talk is that?" The woman spoke out again. "Our Ministry of War officials were only visiting and conducting exchanges in Nanrania, and they hadn't done anything wrong. You have to give us an explanation for their deaths!"
"What kind of explanation do you want?" Billy asked calmly.
"It's simple," the woman replied in a cold tone. "Hand over the ones responsible for the killings. Let us take them back to Northfortia for trial, and we won't pursue Glavale's responsibility any further."
"I killed those people. Are you sure you want to take me back to Northfortia?" Billy replied.
"You're despicable, how dare you kill high-ranking officials from our Ministry of War? Do you think we have no one left in Northfortia?" The man who had spoken before jumped up again.
"Your words are so tiresome!" Stout couldn't stand it anymore and slapped the man.
"Do you dare?" The middle-aged man who had previously intervened quickly took action, sending a palm strike. However, before he could strike, both Bob Stokes and Night Orchid moved simultaneously. "Uh?!" The middle-aged man's pupils rapidly contracted.
Without much time to think, he
quickly dodged to the side. However, even though he avoided Night Orchid's blade, he couldn't evade Bob Stoke's' sword technique. After the blade passed, there was a deep bloodstain at his waist, and blood sprayed out. This was still the result of Bob Stokes showing some mercy. Otherwise, he would have been
dead.
At the same time, the man named Yas, who had been hit by Stout, was sent flying about twenty meters away. He crashed into a pillar on the wall behind him, fell to the ground, and spurted a mouthful of blood. His internal organs seemed to have shifted.
Seeing this, several Glavalean members were visibly stunned, especially those from Ministry of Protocol and Buddha Hall. Their expressions were even more dramatic.
The opponents were all from the Northfortia, definitely not comparable to the Orianans from last time. They were in completely different leagues. But even so, they were ready to fight.
"Damn it!" David Brown, the leader of the group, exclaimed angrily, while a cold aura radiated from him. "Commander Gardner, have you gone too far?"
"Too far?" Billy responded calmly. "The real 'too far' is yet to come!"
"You..." David's face darkened as he continued speaking.
"Commander Gardner, Mr Stokes!" Just then, a person from Central Sky Office hurriedly entered.
"What's going on?" Bob asked.
"We just received information that there are a total of forty people from the Northfortia entering this time. Twenty of them arrived in the capital, and the other twenty have gone missing shortly after entering!" The newcomer spoke softly as he approached the two.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Uh?!" A cold chill emanated from Bob Stokes. He certainly didn't believe that the other twenty people had gone sightseeing in various places in Glavale.
And upon hearing this, Billy's eyes narrowed slightly, and a glint of coldness flashed deep in his eyes.
