Chapter 133 The Truth

Although Luna Wilkinson appeared calm on the surface, her heart was already in turmoil. She never expected to be targeted by someone as powerful as Commander Gardner. She had little hope of surviving this ordeal.

The name of Commander Gardner was enough to fill her with despair.

"You're really asking for it!" Casey narrowed his eyes as he raised his hand to attack.

Luna Wilkinson was obviously teasing Billy.

"Casey!" Billy spoke up in a low voice and then turned his attention to Luna Wilkinson.

"I'll give you some advice, let him go and come with us. If you cooperate, there might still be a chance for you to live."

Luna Wilkinson giggled and said, "I didn't expect Commander Gardner to have such a sense of humor!"

"This is your only chance. Don't you want to take it?" Billy spoke again in an indifferent tone.

"What do you think?" Luna Wilkinson smiled flirtatiously once more. "If even your esteemed Commander Gardner has personally intervened, what chance do I have if I surrender?"

"Do you think that holding all these people hostage will protect you from me?" Billy narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I've heard that Commander Gardner never spills the innocent's blood." Luna continued. "If these people die, wouldn't that make your their killer?"

"You overestimate yourself!" Billy sneered back at her.

Boom!

The next moment, a palpable energy burst out from him like a roaring river breaking its banks, instantly spreading in all directions and shining brightly.

Immediately after, everyone at the scene except Casey and Judge flew out like autumn leaves swept away by the wind, their bodies scattered in all directions in mid-air. Later, they fell to the ground one by one, but it seemed that they did not suffer too serious injuries.

This was obviously done intentionally by Billy, otherwise, not to mention the hostages, even martial arts experts like Luna Wilkinson wouldn't be able to survive.

Almost at the same time as Billy's explosive momentum released, Casey and Judge moved simultaneously, two residual images shot out like ghosts as they lifted their hands to smash out powerful gusts of wind.

In less than a minute, all the assassins, except Luna Wilkinson, had their bodies completely shattered, with none of them spared. The two of them had been following Billy for so long that they had developed a tacit understanding. They both understand the meaning behind any action Billy made.

Upon seeing the pools of blood on the side, all the hostages immediately vomited, their faces turning deathly pale.

"Ted Arquette, are you dead? If not, get up quickly and lead everyone out of here!" Casey then turned to Ted Arquette nearby and said in a solemn tone.

"Y-yes..." Ted Arquette trembled all over and quickly got up, shouting loudly to everyone around him, "Get up now!"

The hostages struggled to their feet and rushed towards the entrance of the mansion.

"Do you believe me now?" At the same time, Billy had already arrived in front of Luna Wilkinson. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

"I admit that I underestimated you!"

Luna Wilkinson got up from the ground, knowing that she was defeated.

Before she could say anything else, Billy flicked his wrist and three silver needles shot out and pierced her body.

"What... what did you do to me?"

Luna Wilkinson trembled all over in fear as she realized that she couldn't even activate a trace of chi energy anymore.

"Don't panic. I just temporarily sealed your energy." Billy spoke calmly before adding, "To prevent you from committing suicide."

From his understanding of Ink Pavilion, this assassin organization brainwashed anyone above a certain level and they were always prepared for suicide at any moment. He still needed to extract the truth from Luna's mouth about what happened five years ago so he wouldn't let her die so easily.

"What do you want?" asked Luna Wilkinson. She vaguely felt that Billy's intention for capturing her wasn't solely because she was part of Ink Pavilion.

"Can you help me with something?" Billy responded.

"What... what is it?" Luna Wilkinson's suspicions grew stronger.

"Do you remember the incident five years ago about the Miles family in Ozin?" Billy spoke calmly.

"Um?!" Luna Wilkinson shuddered, "You... you are?"

"I forgot to introduce myself," Billy replied, "I am the adopted son of Truman Miles. I was lucky enough to escape death five years ago."

"It's you!" Luna Wilkinson exclaimed in shock, her face full of horror. She finally understood why Billy was afraid she would commit suicide.

"Tell me, who ordered you to attack the Miles family and what was their motive? I advise you not to try lying," he continued, "Otherwise, before your death, you will taste a fate worse than death!"

Luna Wilkinson collapsed on the ground with an expression of endless despair on her face. She had no doubt that what Billy said was true. It would be too easy for someone at his level to extract information from her mouth.

"To be honest, I don't know who exactly ordered me..." After taking a deep breath, Luna Wilkinson spoke in a trembling voice, "I only met him once and he was in disguise. All I know is that he comes from one of the noble families in the capital city. He offered billions as compensation for my help..."

Billy furrowed his brows. "What was his goal? Why did he want to wipe out the Miles family?"

"In a way, it's because of you," Luna Wilkinson took a deep breath and responded. "The Miles family was just caught in the crossfire."

"What do you mean!?" Billy's pupils shrank slightly.

"Their ultimate goal is to get their hands on a jade pendant that you have." Luna Wilkinson paused before continuing.

"A jade pendant?" Billy trembled all over. In his mind, he saw the dragon-shaped jade pendant that Harleen had taken from him.

That jade pendant was a birthday gift from his biological mother when he was a child. He had always thought it was just an ordinary piece of valuable jewelry and never imagined it held any special meaning.

"Yes," Luna Wilkinson nodded. "They've requested that we don't make it obvious that they're specifically targeting you or reveal our identity as members of Ink Pavilion. Instead, they want others to think it's just someone seeking revenge against the Miles family."

"So I first went to Black Eagle, Ozin's underground king at the time, but he refused to help. Then I went to the heads of three other families in Ozin who were still holding grudges against the Miles, and we struck a deal." She continued.

Hearing this, an overwhelming hatred emanated from Billy. The next moment, Billy spat out a mouthful of blood and his aura became extremely chaotic.

"Boss!" Casey and Judge exclaimed simultaneously.
