However, Billy completely ignored him and walked towards the parking lot.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Can't you hear me?" Eugene angrily caught up with him.
"Get lost!"
"You're so arrogant!" Eugene frowned. "Today, I'm gonna teach you a lesson!"
After speaking, he raised his hand to hit Billy. Just then, several brake sounds were heard and four off-road jeeps stopped not far away. Then more than ten plainclothes men got out of the cars one by one with serious expressions and tense looks on their faces.
"Dad!" When he saw the leading man, Eugene shouted loudly.
"What are you doing here?"
The leader was none other than Eugene's father Waldo Gross.
"Dad, you came just in time. There's a fake soldier here." Said Eugene as he walked towards his father. "I asked him what rank he was and he shamelessly said that he didn't need one!"
Waldo turned to look at Billy and trembled all over with a shocked expression on his face. Then he quickly walked towards Billy.
"Dad, you need to have him captured and interrogated. I suspect that he..." Eugene continued speaking.
Bang!
Before Eugene could finish his sentence, Waldo kicked him out of the room.
"Dad... why did you hit me?" Eugene tumbled several times before blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Ignoring him completely, Waldo ran towards Billy and saluted him with military precision. "Waldo Gross from War Zone reporting to the commander-in-chief!"
Several plainclothes men behind him also rushed over in shock and saluted Billy. "Commander!"
Both Eugene and Lawrence's jaws dropped as they were petrified. Both of them knew that except for Jake Hanson, who was currently considered as No. 1 in the east region, no one dared to call themselves a commander. Finally, they understood why Billy said that he didn't have any military rank before. None of the five major lords within their territory had been granted military ranks; being lords was already their identity. Thinking about how they treated Billy previously made them tremble uncontrollably with fear all over their bodies.
"Do you know me?" Billy looked at Waldo.
"Commander, on the night of the Watkins family incident, I followed Vice Commander Hanson to the scene!" Waldo quickly responded.
"He's your son?" Billy then pointed at Eugene. "He suspects that I'm a fake soldier. Do you want to check my identity?"
Waldo knelt down directly and pled with Billy. "I dare not! I apologize for my son's ignorance. Please punish me, Commander!"
After speaking, he turned his head and snapped at Eugene and Lawrence, "You two bastards, why aren't you begging for mercy from Commander? Do you not want to live?"
The two quickly came before Billy and knelt down directly.
"I'm... I'm sorry... We beg for mercy from Commander..."
