Chapter 469 Robson

"Aunt Opal!" Nigel smiled and walked over.

"Nigel, is that really you?" The woman looked surprised. "It's been almost three years since you last visited, and you've grown so tall!"

"Yeah," Nigel smiled and then turned to Billy. "Mr Gardner, this is my aunt."

On the way there, Billy had instructed him not to call him "Commander" once they arrived in the village, so he changed his address.

"Hello, Aunt Opal." Billy greeted the middle-aged woman with a smile.

"Mr Gardner, nice to meet you." The middle-aged woman seemed a bit uncomfortable in front of strangers. Afterward, she seemed to remember something and turned to Nigel. "Nigel, go to Wendy's house and check on her."

"Huh?" Nigel was momentarily stunned. "What happened?"

"Wendy came back from the capital a few days ago, and we could tell right away that she had been mistreated outside. Sure enough, this afternoon, a young nobleman came to the village with a group of people, demanding that Wendy go back to the city with him. Wendy refused, and he threatened to harm her family. Right now, Robson is negotiating with them, but I'm afraid he might not be able to handle their men."

"Damn it!" Nigel frowned and then turned to Billy. "Mr Gardner..."

"Let's go take a look!" Billy interrupted him.

"Right this way, Commander!" Nigel nodded and led Billy towards the village.

Before long, the group arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard in the center of the village, where they could hear a commotion from inside. Nigel pushed the door open, and as the three of them entered, they saw two groups of people facing off against each other. On one side was a well-dressed young man, around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with an air that screamed "spoiled rich kid."

Behind him stood more than ten people, with an older man closely following him. The older man had decent cultivation, at the level of a Battle God, while the others were martial artists at the Battle Master level.

Facing the young man was a woman in her mid-twenties, with a well-proportioned figure and a beautiful face that radiated youthful vitality. However, at this moment, her pretty face was twisted with anger as she shot an icy glare at the rich young man. Standing beside the woman was an older man whose actual age was hard to determine. He had a full head of white hair, wore a tattered gray Daoist robe, and held a string of prayer beads in his hand. Next to the old man was a small cart with a flag planted on it, bearing a prominent 'Fortune' character. Behind the two of them were a group of villagers, each with a slightly irritated expression.

"Commander, that's Robson." Nigel whispered to Billy, pointing towards the white-haired old man.

"Hmm," Billy nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the old man.

While Billy was assessing the situation, the old man's eyes seemed casual but held a purposeful glance towards the entrance of the courtyard. However, it was just a fleeting moment, and his expression remained unchanged.

"Commander, if you don't mind waiting for a moment, I'll go deal with that playboy first," Nigel continued.

"Wait!" Billy waved his hand.

"Commander, they..." Nigel looked at Billy.

"Don't worry." Billy interrupted him.

"Wendy, have you made up your mind?" At that moment, the young nobleman addressed the young woman. "My patience is running out. You'd better not provoke me, or you'll experience my methods." He threatened.

"Thomas Finley, you might as well give up. Even if I die, I'll never be your woman!" Wendy replied angrily.

"You really don't know what's good for you!" A strong-looking man behind Thomas Finley stepped forward and pointed at Wendy.
