"Do you know what the Yarwood family did?" Judge asked in a calm tone.
"I don't care about their business. I only know that the culprit has been brought to justice, so this case is closed!" Simon Holmes responded in a deep voice.
"Tsk tsk, from your tone, you don't sound like someone from the Imperial Guards. You sound more like someone from Central Heaven!" Judge spoke again. "But sorry to say, your orders won't work on me."
"How dare you!" A man behind Simon Holmes spoke angrily. "How dare you speak to Mr Holmes like that? You have some nerve! Even if your SHADOW leader were here, he would still have to greet Mr Holmes politely."
"Is that so?" At this moment, Billy's voice came from the martial arts hall.
"Boss, are you awake now?" Judge grinned and went up to him. He intentionally delayed for half an hour just so Billy could sleep longer. Judge knew he never slept well when he returned to Ozin at night after being away for a while, since Harleen Knight was by his side.
"You feeling itchy?" Billy glanced at him.
How could he be sleeping? He was discussing alchemy with Stout.
"Hmm!?" When Simon Holmes saw Billy at that moment, his pupils shrank instantly into needle-like sizes and his whole body trembled involuntarily. He might not recognize Judge but he Knew who the King of the West was. He never thought this matter would actually alarm Billy Gardner; an uneasy feeling rose in his heart as a result of it all.
"And who are you again?" one of Simon's subordinates who had spoken earlier looked Billy up and down and shouted loudly with an unfriendly tone of voice
As soon as he spoke up, Simon Holmes slapped him hard across the face causing bloodstains on his lips. Then, Simon Holmes quickly walked over to Billy and bowed deeply, "Commander Gardner!"
As soon as these words were spoken out loud, the people present collapsed once again onto their knees. One by one their hearts which had just calmed down began beating fiercely once more .
And after hearing these words, Jack Warlord along with other core members of the Yarwood family showed deep despair on their faces. They realized, it was indeed Commander Gardner himself who had arrived. Their fate was sealed, and the Yarwood family was doomed!
Jack Warlord suddenly seemed to age several decades. He was well aware that even if the elderly man he had called personally came to help, not just Simon Holmes's intervention, it would be unlikely to save the Yarwood family.
Commander Gardner was one of the most highly regarded ministers at the heart of the capital, and he was a pillar of talent for Glavale.
How could such a person submit to authority?
Moreover, today's matter was still the Yarwood family's own doing. Including the several people brought by Simon Holmes, they all trembled uncontrollably upon hearing these words. They knew very well that Oscar Urban, the number five figure of the Imperial Guard Bureau, had been ordered to be executed by the King of the West. Moreover, after the incident, not a single person in the entire capital dared to speak up for Oscar Urban. It was as if he had died in vain.
"First, tell me what the truth is about what you know." Billy said calmly as he looked at Simon Holmes.
"I..." Simon Holmes took a deep breath and then recounted the information he had learned in detail.
"You should be glad you don't know the truth!" After hearing these words, Billy's eyes narrowed slightly. He naturally wanted to see if Simon Holmes knew the truth. If he knew, and still dared to come forward, then Simon Holmes would fail to return to the capital today.
"Judge, let him hear the truth!" Billy turned to Judge and spoke.
