Chapter 486 A Deception

"Alright! Be careful, all of you!" Billy also detected the unusual smell. With that said, he raised his hand and struck the tea house's front doors with a powerful blow.

Bang!

The two wooden doors shattered immediately.

The group then looked into the tea house's main hall and saw the gruesome sight of twenty to thirty people lying on the floor. They had all been killed with a single slash to the throat, a truly horrific scene. From their attire, it was clear that they were employees of the tea house.

A chill ran down Billy's spine.

"What's going on?" Stout muttered, visibly taken aback. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Bob Stokes and Night Orchid also wore puzzled expressions.

"Help... Help me..." Suddenly, a weak voice reached Billy's ears.

"There's someone who's still alive!" Billy frowned and quickly moved towards the source of the voice.

"Night Orchid, Stout, you two stay out here, Bob follow me." Billy instructed as he walked over.

"Okay." Bob replied and followed up.

"Boss, Bob, be careful!" Night Orchid reminded with concern.

"Don't worry." Bob said as he waved his hand.

Before long, Billy and Bob entered the lobby.

"Help, save me..." the weak voice from before came from the direction of the bar.

"Boss, someone's inside the bar!" Bob pointed towards the bar area and was about to approach it.

"Bob, be cautious!" At that moment, Billy's pupils slightly contracted as he shouted a warning. Immediately afterward, without hesitation, he struck towards the bar area with a powerful palm strike. Almost simultaneously with Billy's warning, a violent surge of energy rushed towards them from the bar area, creating a massive gust of wind and a deafening impact as their attacks collided.

Boom!

The intense clash sent shockwaves through the hall, shattering tables, chairs, benches, and even several wooden pillars into splinters.

Simultaneously, Billy and the person they clashed with were both pushed back seven or eight steps, their auras showing signs of disruption. However, the opponent seemed to have fared slightly worse, with a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Boss, are you alright?" Bob Stokes quickly rushed to Billy's side as he walked away from the confrontation.

"I'm fine." Billy said as his gaze still locked on the opponent with icy determination.

Though it was hard to determine the opponent's actual age, it was safe to say that his was at least in his seventies or eighties. He appeared emaciated, dressed in gray robes, had sharp eyes, and was enveloped in an aura of energy. His skill was formidable, reaching the Half-Step War God-Emperor level of cultivation, just one step away from reaching the real God-Emperor realm.

"Commander Gardner, you are indeed as renowned as the rumors say. To possess such strength at such a young age is truly admirable!" The old man wiped the blood from his mouth with his hand. "However, let me offer you a piece of advice, King of the West. The Stan Mitchell case is not something you can handle. It's best not to get involved."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid you may not live to see the day when you reach the Dragon Transformation stage." He continued. While speaking, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, indicating that Billy's skills surpassed his expectations.

"Old fool, you'd better think about how to leave here alive!" Bob Stokes retorted coldly.

"I'm leaving. You two won't be able to stop me!" The old man sneered.

"Then, you may try!" Billy said coldly. He took a step forward and unleashed a powerful palm strike toward the opponent.

"Commander Gardner, you'd better heed my advice, or you'll surely regret it!" The old man spoke while exerting his full strength to counter Billy's attack.

The hall echoed with a series of intense clashes. Although the old man was at the same level as Billy, his combat prowess was clearly on a different level. In no time, he was struck by several palms, and he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.

"Lie down!" Immediately after, Billy said coldly, and a stronger palm wind swept out.

"I won't play with you anymore. Remember what I said, take care of yourself!" The old man sensed the power of Billy's palm and his pupils contracted. As he spoke, he quickly moved his body to evade the attack and then dashed towards the back door of the hall.

"Can you escape?" Billy squinted his eyes and was about to chase after him.

"Stout, watch out!" Just then, Night Orchid's cry came from outside the door.

"Huh?" Billy's pupils slightly contracted, and he rushed out towards the door, with Bob Stokes following closely.

As the two men reached the door, they saw Stout being sent flying with a single palm, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it!" Billy furrowed his brow and then swept the person who attacked Stout with a palm.

However, he was still a step too slow. The man outside not only sent Stout flying but also quickly retreated and leaped over the wall.

Boom!

Billy's palm hit the wall directly, causing a large section of the wall to collapse, and dust filled the air.

"Wanna run?" Bob said as he spoke and turned to chase after the fleeing man.

"Bob, stop chasing, come back!" Billy shouted to stop him.

Both of the attackers were skilled, especially the one who escaped from the hall. He was even more skilled than Bob Stokes, so pursuing him would be like hitting a brick wall.

"These guys are really despicable!" Bob took a deep breath and then walked towards Stout.

"Stout, how are you?" Night Orchid had already arrived at Stout's side, with a worried expression on her face.

"I'm... I'm fine..." Blood continued to trickle from Stout's mouth.

"Stout, take this healing pill first, and don't talk for now!" Billy approached and took out a healing pill from his pocket, handing it to Stout.

Then, he took out several silver needles from his pocket and inserted them into important acupoints on Stout's body. He had already roughly examined Stout's injuries, and although they weren't bone-deep, they were severe enough.

"Bob, check if there are any survivors in the teahouse, and then take Stout back to SHADOW with Night Orchid."

About ten minutes later, when Stout's condition had stabilized, Billy stood up and rushed to the entrance of the courtyard.

"Boss, where are you going?" Bob and Night Orchid both asked simultaneously.

"lan might be in danger!" Billy's voice fell, and he was already outside the courtyard.

Hearing Billy's words, both Bob Stokes and Night Orchid showed a hint of concern on their faces. After a moment of thought, they understood the situation. If someone behind them intended to harm Ian Blade, this was the perfect opportunity. Billy was tied up here and would find it difficult to protect lan.

Just as Billy and his companions reached the teahouse...

At the entrance of an open-air park in the eastern suburbs, lan led a dozen of his Special Patrol Squadron colleagues as they got out of several cars.

"Mr Blade, why are we here?" one of the men asked lan.

"Clear the entire two-kilometer radius around here and get the tourists to leave as soon as possible." lan replied in a serious voice.

"Yes, sir!" The group hesitated for a moment before dispersing in all directions.
