The man who had been hit by the slipper earlier took in a sharp breath when he heard Rupert Frazier's words. The thought sent a shiver down his spine. He realized that if it weren't for the Third Master stopping him earlier, he would have been in big trouble.
Others who didn't recognize Billy had similarly serious expressions. The fact that the King of the West had shown up meant that something significant was happening in the Frazier Clan.
"Additionally, I wonder if Commander Gardner is here today as the King of the West or as the head of SHADOW?" Rupert Frazier continued after a slight pause.
"Today, I am neither the King of the West nor the head of SHADOW," Billy calmly replied. "I am here representing myself, Billy Gardner."
"What does that mean?" Rupert Frazier asked, puzzled. "Commander Gardner, what brings you here?"
"I'm here to find someone." Billy replied.
"To find someone?" Rupert Frazier raised an eyebrow. "May I ask who you are looking for?"
"I'm looking for two people," Billy said again. "First, Estelle Stuart and second, Violet Frazier."
"Hmm?" Rupert Frazier's pupils slightly constricted.
Rupert Frazier didn't think there was any connection between Billy and the two of them.
"Are you going to inform them to come out and meet me, or should I find them myself?" Billy asked.
"I don't know what Commander Gardner wants with my mother," Rupert Frazier said after taking a deep breath.
"My patience has limits, I'll give you one minute to consider. If you don't want to go and call them, I'll go in myself."
"Commander Gardner, while you are a prominent figure in the country and a key member of the Ministry of War, it doesn't mean you can do as you please. I hope you..." Rupert Frazier began to say, but Judge interrupted him.
"Thirty seconds!" Judge shouted.
"Commander Gardner, please think it over. We are the Frazier Clan..." Rupert Frazier tried to maintain his composure.
"Ten seconds!" Judge continued to count down.
"Are you trying to stop me?" Billy asked Rupert Frazier calmly.
"If Commander Gardner insists on acting recklessly, then we have no choice." Rupert replied.
"Time's up!" Stout shouted this time.
Stout's words were barely finished when two figures quickly dashed towards the other side. It was Azure Fang and Frostblade. They had been growing impatient and couldn't wait any longer. They brandished their curved blades, ready to strike.
"Stop them!" Rupert Frazier pointed towards Billy's direction and shouted.
Several figures rushed towards them, their full force unleashed, all of them with formidable martial prowess. Even the weakest among them was a Battle God.
"Ugh, I tried to talk to you nicely, but you just won't listen," Judge said with a sigh, sounding disappointed. He then dashed towards the approaching figures.
Night Orchid and Soul Chaser didn't hesitate either. They drew their curved blades and joined the fray.
"If you insist on going your own way, don't blame us!" Rupert Frazier's eyes showed a hint of seriousness. He raised his hand, and with a deep voice, shouted, "Attack together!"
"Yes!" Hundreds of people on the scene responded in unison and surrounded the intruders.
