Chapter 534 Billy’s Trump Card
Chapter 534 Billy's Trump Card
"Commander Gardner..." Cole Wilson spoke again.
"Don't worry." Billy interrupted him. "General Wilson, you should go back to the Northern Territory now, and I'll return later."
George and his group wore cold smiles upon hearing this but didn't say a word.
"Commander," Cole looked concerned.
"Casey, take General Wilson with you." Billy interrupted again.
"Got it!" Casey put away his phone and said firmly, "General Wilson, let's go!"
Cole Wilson let out a heavy breath and looked at Rukchi. "If anything happens to King of the West of Glavale today, several million warriors in our country will come crashing down on Aquilandia!" Said Cole. Afterward, he looked at Billy and added, "Commander, I'll be waiting for you in the Northern Territory."
With those words, he turned and headed for the base's entrance. Though he worried about Billy's safety, he understood that, given his own level of cultivation, staying behind would only burden Billy. It was better to leave now, and perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope for Billy.
"Boss, be careful!" Casey and the others followed, saying the same thing.
Like Cole Wilson, they were all aware that staying behind would only be a hindrance. They had seen the look on Billy's face and had a vague sense of what might be happening. They believed Billy would be fine, so they didn't insist on staying.
"Can you release my people now?" After Casey and the others left, Rukchi turned to Billy and asked.
"Of course!" Billy took out his phone and dialed James Harper's number.
"Commander!" James's voice came from the other end.
"General Harper, release the people from Aquilandia." Billy said calmly.
As he had mentioned before, he had never intended to use those five thousand people as bargaining chips to save himself. Capturing those people had only been to ensure General Wilson's safety. As for himself, Billy was well aware that even if there were fifty thousand people, Rukchi would not compromise with him for his life.
"Commander, if we release them, you..." James hesitated for a moment.
"It's fine," Billy interrupted. "Release them."
"Yes, Commander!" James responded after a brief pause.
Five minutes later, Rukchi took out his phone, dialed a number, and confirmed that the five thousand people had indeed been released from Glavale's Northern Territory camp.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"King of the West, your word is your bond, and I admire that!" Rukchi said loudly after hanging up. "If it weren't for our positions, I would like to have a lasting friendship with you!"
As he spoke, George and his group applauded, saying, "King of the West, you truly have admirable courage!" With those words, they shifted the conversation, "Don't blame us, blame your conspicuousness. If we don't eliminate you, we won't have peace."
"Have you ever considered what would happen if you can't kill me today? How will Aquilandia deal with the aftermath?" Billy paid no attention to George and instead looked at Rukchi, speaking in a nonchalant tone.
"Thank you for the reminder, but I believe there won't be such a 'what if'!" Rukchi responded after taking a deep breath. Seeing Billy's calm expression, a vague sense of unease began to rise in his heart. However, he had no idea where this unease came from.
"Are you so confident?" Billy smiled faintly. "I suggest you think about it."
"King of the West, stop playing mind games." The woman from Occidenta said. "I advise you to take your own life to atone for your sins. Perhaps we can leave your corpse intact. otherwise, you will likely be annihilated!"
"Is that so?" Billy turned his head and looked at the woman, a sly smile tugging at his lips. "Originally, I thought about letting you leave here in one piece, being a woman and all, but now, I've changed my mind."
"Humph! Speaking big words even at death's door, you're really clueless!" the woman scoffed. With that, she turned to the others and shouted loudly, "Alright, everyone, attack! Swift and decisive!" "Alright!" the others responded in unison.
In the next moment, the forty people

at the scene all erupted with their auras. The entire base was shrouded in a terrifying pressure, and a bone-chilling, murderous intent filled every corner of the compound. The twenty War God-Emperors and the twenty mid-level War Emperors simultaneously launched their attacks, making it hard to breathe in this space. The killing intent was overwhelming.
"If you want to court death like this, then I'll grant your wish!" Billy stood in the center of the training ground, unmoving. His voice, filled with mockery, reached the ears of the forty assailants. People around him, upon hearing his words, felt a moment of hesitation. Many of them had a gut feeling that King of the West might have some hidden ace up his sleeve.
Boom!
The next moment, Billy's gaze
sharpened, and an apocalyptic wave
of energy erupted from his body.
Shockwaves@oared in all directions, and the base was suddenly shrouded in a mushroom cloud that resembled a massive nuclear explosion. Immediately after, series of explosions rang out, and colorful bursts of blood mist appeared in mid-air like a
magnificent fireworks display. Every warrior at the War Emperor level had their bodies burst like ripe watermelons under the pressure of this energy. All that remained were blood mists, and nothing else.
This included that female warrior from Occidenta. At the moment of her death, she finally believed what Billy had said earlier!
Simultaneously, those
pseudo-God-Emperor warriors
vomited blood and were sent flying
backward into the sky. After flying about a hundred meters, they landed with a heavy thud, twitching uncontrollably, their bodies devoid of any movement. Even the two War God-Emperors, the old men from
Northfortia and Aquilandia, had pale faces.
At the same time, several buildings close to the training ground collapsed as if they were made of tofu. Dust and debris filled the air, blocking the sky.
Then, the scene fell into a dead silence, and people could even hear a pin drop. Except for Billy, every other person had an utterly astonished expression on their face. They found it unbelievable that a wave of aura alone possessed such a terrifying force.
