Chapter 14 The Complete Set
After hearing Tasha’s voice, Billy stopped his footsteps.
“Iris, how’s the situation?” Garth spoke in a deep voice on the phone, sounding worried.
“Dad, help!” Iris shouted loudly into the microphone, “He wants to kill me…”
“Give him your phone!” Garth said after exhaling a breath.
Iris handed the phone to Billy and said, “Your… your daughter wants to talk to you.”
After taking a deep breath, Billy took the phone and looked at it.
“Kid, if you dare to touch my daughter, you can forget about seeing your daughter!” Garth said and then turned the camera towards Tasha.
Immediately after, Garth raised his hand and slapped Tasha, leaving a clear palm print on her face.
“Little bastard, don’t you miss your father? Say hello to your father!” Garth said coldly.
Upon seeing this, a boundless and ferocious killing intent erupted from Billy, instantly filling the entire hall. His eyes were filled with endless coldness. Iris, standing in front of him, suddenly felt weak in the legs and collapsed directly.
“Dad… dad… Tasha is here. Are you my dad…?” Upon seeing Billy, Tasha cried out.
“Dad… Tasha is so scared. When are you coming to save me?”
“Tasha, don’t be afraid…” Billy choked on his words and couldn’t speak, tears uncontrollably streaming down his face.
“Dad, don’t cry. You are a great hero, mom said great heroes never cry…”
“Okay, I don’t cry, Tasha, I promise you.” Billy forcefully steadied his emotions and said, “Tasha, don’t be afraid. Dad promises you we’ll be able to take you home soon!”
“Um, Tasha believes in Dad. Dad will bring Tasha home…”
Before the little girl finished her words, Garth slapped her again. And the girl’s face was swollen soon.
“Ah…” Tasha screamed, her frail body trembling uncontrollably.
“If you dare to touch Tasha again, I will kill your son and daughter immediately!” Billy had been pushed to the edge.
“Is that so?” Garth snorted coldly. The he took a dagger from the side and waved it in front of Tasha while saying, “You can give it a try
Tasha cried in fear, “Dad! I’m so scared, please come save me. I’m so scared…”
The sound of a slap echoed once again.
“Little bastard, shut up! It’s so noisy. If you cry again, I’ll cut your tongue!”
Tasha was crying, her eyes full of fear, and she desperately pressed her lips together.
Billy took a deep breath to calm himself down. Being too impulsive at this moment would only hurt Tasha. Afterwards, he looked at Garth and asked, “What do you want?”
“Aren’t you very arrogant? You surrendered so quickly?” Garth’s tone became heavy after he finished speaking.
“Release them immediately, otherwise you won’t see your daughter again!”
“Do you think it’s possible?” Billy was full of murderous intent.
“You say no.” Garth sneered and cut a blood cut directly on Tasha’s arm with the dagger.
Due to excessive shock, Tasha shouted loudly and then fainted.
“I’ll give you one minute to think about it. If you don’t release them, you can collect the body for your daughter.” Garth threatened him.
Billy cried out in pain to the sky. He vomited blood again during the flare-up.
“Commander, please take care of your health!” Casey walked over with a worried expression on his face, paused for a moment and continued speaking.
“Let them go. We’ll go to their place to wait for Tasha. With so many people, Garth won’t ignore their lives.” Said Billy.
He then let out a heavy breath and looked at Garth with bloodshot eyes, speaking slowly, “I’ll be waiting for you at your mansion. If anything happens to Tasha, I’ll make sure everyone in the Thunder family accompanies her funeral.”
As he finished speaking, his grip tightened on his phone until it crumbled into powder that drifted to the ground.
“Can we go now?” Iris seemed to regain her confidence as she spoke coldly.
“Get lost!” Casey barked.
The people lying on the ground scrambled up as if they had been granted amnesty. Two men limped over to help Ainsley up before heading towards the door with everyone else following closely behind. Iris glanced back at Billy and said, “We’ll be waiting for you at our mansion. Don’t chicken out!”
Before she could finish her sentence, a gust of wind swept out from Billy’s hand and sent her flying out of the gate. She crashed heavily onto the ground, breaking several ribs in an instant.
“Ahh…” She let out a piercing scream before passing out with rolled-back eyes.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
The crowd quickly lifted Iris into the car. Faced with these two menacing figures, these people didn’t want to stay for even a second longer.
Meanwhile, Baxter Moreno, the head of Cloud City’s first battle zone, sat in his large chair contemplating a problem, with a cigarette in his hand and smoke swirling around him.
A hurried footstep sounded and then a burly man rushed into the office without knocking. His face was pale as he spoke.
“Edmond, are you itching for trouble again? I’ve warned you so many times to knock before entering!” Baxter glared at him.
“Boss, something big has happened!” Edmond walked over to the coffee table and grabbed a bottle of mineral water which he gulped down noisily.
“You’re Cloud City’s second-in-command. Can’t you be more composed?” Baxter scolded him angrily.
“It really is something big this time!” Edmond finally caught his breath. “I just received news that nearly a thousand people have gathered in Cloud City from all directions!”
“Are you out of your mind?” Baxter glared at him again. “Although Cloud City isn’t considered a big city, there are still hundreds of thousands of people who enter it every day through various means. And now you’re telling me that because a thousand people have gathered here recently it’s considered ‘something big’?”
“But boss,” Edmond continued speaking up. “You haven’t asked who these people are or who their leader is.”
“Let it out already!”
“Judge!”
“Who is Judge? He…” Baxter stopped mid-sentence, his wrist shaking and dropping the cigarette onto the desk. His face turned urgent as he stared at Edmond. “Say that again!”
“Judge is one of the ‘five sharp blades’ of SHADOW, in charge of the East district. He’s brought nearly a thousand members with him to Cloud City!” Edmond swallowed hard.
“Really!?” Baxter jumped up from his chair with a startle. “Is this information accurate?”
“Do you think I would joke about something like this?”
“Have you found out why they’re here specifically?” Baxter asked again.
“No,” Edmond replied.
“What about their movements then?” Baxter asked once more.
At that moment, Edmond’s phone notification rang out. He picked it up and looked at it urgently. After taking a deep breath, he looked back at Baxter and said, “If everything goes according to plan, their destination should be the Thunder Family.”
“Hmm!?” Baxter furrowed his brow in thought. “Has anything special happened to the Thunder Family these past few days?”
“I don’t know either!” Edmond shook his head.
Baxter let out a sigh before speaking in a deep voice, “Notify the standby members of the Special Forces team, gather everyone and come with me to check out the Thunder family!”
As the first person in charge of Cloud City’s war zone, he couldn’t help but feel nervous. He naturally knew what SHADOW meant. On ordinary days, wherever there were people from SHADOW appearing, it meant that something was happening. And now, over a thousand disciples of SHADOW had gathered in Cloud City.
“Yes, sir!” Edmond saluted before turning around and leaving.
Five minutes later, ten war zone trucks and off-road vehicles roared towards the direction of Thunder family.
