"Such audacity!" At that moment, a voice filled with anger echoed from Oriana's camp.
In the next instant, two overwhelming forces erupted like a torrent, filling every corner of the hall and making many people feel suffocated.
They were two War Grandmasters of the later stages!
Following that, the two elders simultaneously unleashed their full power, their figures moving like phantoms as they charged toward Billy. They raised their hands and sent several earth-shattering punches toward him. They were going all out, with a strong intent to take Billy's life.
"You've finally made your move!" Billy's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had been waiting for this moment. In fact, he had been waiting for them to make a move.
These two had intentionally concealed their auras, thinking that no one could detect their true strength. However, they underestimated Billy's psychic abilities. He had sensed their true power the moment they entered the hall.
His previous actions were meant to provoke them into taking action, as he didn't have a suitable reason to kill them before. But now, Oriana's delegation had shown its true intentions – an attempt to assassinate a prominent figure of Glavale. That alone was enough to warrant the execution of everyone involved.
"Stop! No!" Duke Aiken Hampton exclaimed in shock.
But it was too late.
Billy flicked his wrist, and his Bloodshadow Fury Blade slashed horizontally, releasing a crimson arc of blade energy that shook the entire hall.
The two elders had barely reached halfway when they came to an abrupt stop. Their overwhelming aura dissipated instantly.
"How... how is this possible?" one of them struggled to speak. "You're... a War Emperor."
As they spoke, both of their bodies split in half at the waist, and they fell to the ground, blood spurting out. Their faces bore expressions of disbelief.
Just two months ago, when Billy killed an Elder of the War Department, he was only at the later stages of the War Grandmaster realm. How had he suddenly advanced to the War Emperor realm? If they had known how powerful he was, they wouldn't have dared to attack.
Duke Aiken Hampton collapsed, his face ashen, his body trembling. He aged several decades in an instant. He knew his life had come to an end. Never had he imagined that his mission to negotiate on behalf of Oriana in Glavale would turn into a death sentence.
"You have gone too far!" Casey shouted loudly. "Martial Masters hiding within your diplomatic delegation, attempting to assassinate a high-ranking Glavale official, your crimes deserve death!"
After saying that, he turned to the representatives of the Central Sky Office and said in a stern voice, "Mr Mullins, the remaining individuals are handed over to the Central Sky Office. Deal with them yourselves."
The reason Casey decided to hand the remaining people over to the Central Sky Office was that he and Billy understood the implications. Turning them over to Central Sky Office was more significant than executing them here. He wasn't worried that Central Sky Office would release them. The consequences of doing so would be too severe, even for Central Sky Office to bear.
The man surnamed Mullins let out a heavy sigh, his face turning extremely grim. If this incident were to be investigated further, it would also implicate the Central Sky Office, as they were primarily responsible for hosting the Oriana's delegation.
Now that such a significant event had occurred, how could he explain it to his superiors? If Commander Gardner didn't recover from his injuries, there was a very real possibility that the Oriana's delegation would succeed today. If that were the case, he couldn't even begin to imagine the consequences. As a member of the Central Sky Office, he was well aware of Billy Gardner's importance to Glavale. The once-in-a-millennium national treasure, if lost, could lead to catastrophic consequences, akin to doomsday.
"Listen!" After taking another deep breath, Mullins turned to look outside the hall and ordered, "The Oriana's delegation attempted to assassinate one of our high-ranking military officials. Take them all into custody!"
"Yes, sir!" a voice responded from the entrance.
Soon, a group of soldiers in military uniforms entered, each with a solemn expression and a fierce aura.
