"Yes." Night Orchid nodded.
"They're quite impressive!" A chill emanated from Billy.
"Boss..." Night Orchid began with a hesitant tone. "According to your instructions, I verified that behind the Frazier family is indeed your family, the Stuart Clan!" Since there were no outsiders in the car, Night Orchid directly disclosed Billy's background.
That was right! Billy was indeed born into a hidden aristocratic family, the Stuart Clan.
Hidden aristocratic families and ancient martial sects were two powerful forces in Glavale, apart from the noble clans. Hidden aristocratic families might sound like ordinary families, but some top aristocratic families had comprehensive strength surpassing that of most sects. In fact, many sect leaders themselves came from aristocratic families. The Stuart Clan, part of hidden aristocratic families in Glavale, was among the top tier.
Billy's eyes narrowed slightly, and an uncontrollable air of killing intent surrounded him.
"Boss, what's our objective this time? Are we going to massacre the entire Frazier family?" Soul Chaser asked Billy, as if it were an inconsequential matter.
Stout choked on his own breath.
"Soul Chaser, can you tone down the bloodlust a bit? There are still people in the Frazier family whom boss intends to save!" Night Orchid scolded Soul Chaser, looking rather exasperated.
"I was just kidding!" Soul Chaser grinned.
While Billy and his group were en route, a piece of news began to circulate in the capital: the leader of SHADOW, accompanied by the five governors, had once again gathered in the capital.
This news created a buzz throughout the city. Everyone wondered what the king of the West was up to now. The Leonard Clan's issue had barely settled down, and yet Commander Gardner had returned to the capital, bringing along the Five Sharp Blades.
What major event had occurred this time?
Subsequently, everyone sent their people to inquire about the number of followers Billy had brought with him since the number would indicate the scale of the matter. The result was surprising to everyone - apart from Billy and his group, there was not a single follower.
What did this mean? Were they just visiting the capital for tourism?
Within the restricted area of the capital, in the Glavale War Department, Second Elder Donald was in his office, sipping tea on the sofa. He had returned to the capital not long ago after an outing.
Shortly, an elder, still dressed plainly, walked in with his hands behind his back, wearing a slightly unpleasant expression.
"What's wrong? Who annoyed you again?" Donald poured him a cup of tea. "Try this tea, I just brought it back. It has a great flavor."
"How's your matter going?" The elder picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"I wasted my time and effort," Donald had an expression as if he wanted to curse someone. "A bunch of stubborn old mules. Trying to get them to compromise is as difficult as ascending to the heavens!"
"Trying to solve a problem that has persisted for thousands of years in such a short time is unrealistic." The other elder said as he put down the teacup.
"But someone has to do it," Donald lit a cigarette and took a puff. "Those stubborn old farts wasted my time and energy!"
"Hehe, you're just complaining! Billy coming to the capital is strange?"
"He's the leader of SHADOW, coming to the capital for SHADOW's business is quite normal, isn't it?" Donald blew a series of smoke rings.
"Do you know how many people he brought?"
