Chapter 329 Who Gave You the Authority?
Before the conversation could continue, Wally Hammond delivered a powerful palm strike, and
Byron yton''s eyes rolled back as he lost consciousness. Byron was still capable of defending
himself, but at this moment, he had lost all resistance, which allowed Wally to easily knock him out
with a single palm strike. Afterwards, he was dragged to the side.
"Commander Gardner, isn''t this going too far?" Ralph Riley furrowed his brows. He had intended to
have some officials from the Capital Defense Bureaue and support him, but things had taken a
different turn, and he was not pleased with the oue.
"Why, Mr Riley, do you want to interfere in SHADOW''s investigation?" Billy responded nonchntly.
"You..." Ralph Riley took a deep breath, feeling as if he was on the verge of losing his patience.
Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed, and a middle-aged man arrived hastily, apanied by a
group of people.
"Governor Wade, hello!" Upon seeing the neer, Ralph Riley quickly greeted him.
"Hello," the man named Andy Wade nodded slightly and then looked at Billy. "Andy Wade, the
District Governor of the Southern District, Special Inspector, at your service, Commander Gardner."
"Do you also want to interfere in SHADOW''s investigation?" Billy asked.
"I wouldn''t dare!" Andy Wade responded. "Regarding the annihtion of the Dittman family, Special
Patrol Squadron also takes it very seriously and we''ve been investigating the case. Originally, I was
nning to visit SHADOW today to inquire about the situation. But when I heard that Commander
Gardner was here at the Riley n''s residence, I hurried over."
"Is that so?" Billy said with a faint smile. "What do you want to know?"
"I heard that the Dittman family''s case was orchestrated by Piers Riley in collusion with Ink Pavilion.
Is that true?" Andy Wade inquired.
"The capital city is still waiting for my report, so I wanted to consult Commander Gardner for
confirmation." He added. As he spoke, he directly excluded the Riley n from the matter.
"ording to SHADOW''s regtions, anyone who conspires with Ink Pavilion should be
exterminated, their whole n. Do you have any objections to this?" Billy asked.

"Commander Gardner, isn''t this premature?" Andy Wade furrowed his brows slightly.
"Based on my investigation over the past few days, it appears that Piers Riley''s actions were indeed
his own. If he is to be exterminated the whole n just for colluding with Ink Pavilion, wouldn''t that
be excessive?" Andy exined.
"Are you trying to interfere with SHADOW''s investigation, Commander Wade?" Billy responded with
a hint of mockery.
"Commander Gardner, please, let''s not go too far." Andy Wade sighed. "One of the important
responsibilities of the Special Patrol Squadron is to oversee whether various departments in
vale are operating ording to regtions."
"So..." Billy''s tone grew serious. "Who gave you the authority to oversee SHADOW''s operations?
Was it your superior? Or was it the Central Sky Office? Perhaps someone even higher up the
chain? You name someone, and I''ll give them a call to confirm who granted them the authority!"
"Commander Gardner, there should be a limit to everything. Going too far will lead to trouble." Andy
Wade cautioned.
"Oh! Now you''re threatening me?" Billy smiled coldly. "Not bad."
"Besides, judging from your tone, it seems you already knew about the collusion between the Riley
n and Ink Pavilion, didn''t you?"
"As a District Governor of the Special Patrol Squadron in the south, you knew about the Riley n''s
collusion with Ink Pavilion, yet you didn''t take any action to stop the crimes or assist SHADOW."
Billy continued.
"Commander Gardner, I emphasize once again that Piers Riley was the one who colluded with Ink
Pavilion. I only learned of this recently." Andy Wade said with a furrowed brow.
Billy smiled again.
"Boss!" At this moment, Frostde approached Billy and whispered a few words in his ear.
"I see," Billy replied with a nod before turning to Andy Wade. "You imed that only Piers Riley
colluded with Ink Pavilion, correct? Well then, you should watch carefully."
"What do you mean?" Andy furrowed his brows again.
Ralph Riley had a bad feeling about this as well.
Suddenly, a formidable and oppressive aura swept across the courtyard, shrouding the entire area
like dark clouds gathering in the sky. The ordinary martial artists from the Riley n felt a
suffocating pressure and quickly retreated hundreds of meters.
Ink Pavilion''s people had arrived!
The most notable characteristic of this group was that they all wore Daoist robes and ck-and-
white masks on their faces. Each of them had formidable strength, with the lowest being at the
Battle General stage, and some were even Battle Gods and Warlords. The leader of the group
possessed the power of a Half-Step Battle Emperor.
Upon seeing these figures, the onlookers couldn''t help but gasp in shock. Among those with the
most watchable expressions were Ralph Riley and Andy Wade, whose faces turned as ugly as if
they had lost their parents.
"Tell me, do you have anything else to say now?" Billy nced at the Ink Pavilion members and
then turned to Andy Wade for a response.
"Mr Riley, what is going on here?" Andy Wade swallowed hard and looked at Ralph Riley for
answers.
As he spoke, Andy cursed the Riley n in his heart. So many formidable members of Ink Pavilion
had arrived here at the Riley Estate, while he had previously insisted that only Piers Riley was
involved in colluding with Ink Pavilion, trying to distance the Riley n from the matter. That was
quite contradictory.
"I don''t know either, Governor Wade. Please remain calm." Ralph Riley said, taking a deep breath
before looking at the members of Ink Pavilion.
"Ink Pavilion, your audacity knows no bounds! You dare toe to my ce. Do you have a death
wish?" His mood was even worse than Andy Wade''s. Originally, he had nned to shift the me
onto his brother, Piers Riley, and thought that would resolve the situation. He could have dealt with it
by paying somepensation. However, with the arrival of Ink Pavilion''s members, his ns had
fallen apart. He knew very well what Ink Pavilion intended-they wanted to tie the Riley n and Ink
Pavilion together. Now, he had to consider his options carefully.
"How long has it been, Mr Riley? I hope you''ve been well." The leader of the Ink Pavilion group said
casually, looking at Ralph Riley.
"Scoundrel! I don''t even know you. Don''te any closer to me!" Ralph Riley furrowed his brows,
still torn about what to do.
"Given the current situation, are you still trying to be optimistic, Mr Riley?" The man from Ink
Pavilion chuckled coldly. "You massacred dozens of members of the Dittman family, colluded with
Ink Pavilion to assassinate SHADOW operatives. If these charges are confirmed, it will be enough
to warrant the extermination of your n over!"
"You have no choice left. Your only chance is to cooperate with our people to eliminate them.
Perhaps you might have a chance to survive. As long as you assist me in obtaining that form, I
will report to our Lord in the capital city. He will then operate on your behalf within the capital,
ensuring your safety!" the man representing Ink Pavilion continued.
