Chapter 457 Departure to Celestiford
"Did you find out what secrets she has from the Gosa family?" asked Billy.
"We haven''t used any interrogation methods on her yet, so we haven''t gotten any information." Judge shook his head. "However, based on her words, it seems to involve some political maneuvering within the Gosa family in Northfortia."
"In that case, eliminate her!" Billy waved his hand dismissively.
Billy had no interest in the internal conflicts of Northfortia. When it came to dealing with a country like Northfortia, all other methods were futile. Only force would work, and they needed to intimidate them thoroughly, preferably for a hundred years!
"Understood!" Judge nodded in response.
"Boss, when are you nning to visit Celestiford?" Casey asked from the side.
Casey knew very well that Billy wouldn''t let the matter with the Harvey n slide. Whilest time, he had spared She Harvey''s life due to General Wilson''s intervention, this time, it seemed unlikely she would be given another chance, even if General Wilson made a phone call. In addition, the branch offices of the Central ins Business Association were spread all over vale, like a horde of parasites that needed to be eliminated.
"I''ll go in the next couple of days." Billy replied after a brief moment of contemtion.
"The situation in the central region is moreplicated than the other areas. I''ve heard that the head of the War Department hasn''t given up yet." Casey continued.
"If he wants that position so badly, we can give it to him." Billy said with a casual smile. With that, he waved his hand and added, "Alright, you can go back now. I''ll call you if there''s anything." "Okay!" Casey nodded before turning to leave.
Shortly after, Billy and Stout drove back to Royal View Vis.
"Honey, you''re back!" As Billy entered the house, Harleen, who had been resting at home, stood up from the sofa.
"Harleen, you finished work so early today?" Billy smiled and asked.
"I had a meeting outside today, and after it ended, I came straight home." Harleen replied with a sweet smile.
"No wonder!" Billyughed. "Where''s mom? Did she go to pick up Tasha?"
"Yes!" Harleen nodded, then noticed the two swords in Billy''s hands. "Are these for me and Felicia?"
"Haha, how did you know?" Billy chuckled and said, "Take a look and see if you like them."
"I love them! I love anything you give me." Harleen replied with a happy expression, drawing out one of the swords.
"Wow! They''re so beautiful!"
"How about trying them out outside?" Billy suggested with another smile.
"Sure!" Harleen nodded.
Soon, the two of them were in the courtyard.
Harleen''s figure shifted as she flipped her wrist, disying Stuart Sword Art. In no time, the sky above the courtyard was filled with phantom sword images, creating a gust of wind as they passed. Wherever the sword aura went, it left behind sword marks on the courtyard''s fence.
"Break!" Harleen eximed and took two steps forward. Her sword thrust forward, and a substantial sword energy shot towards a stone pir not far away.
A crisp sound echoed, and the stone pir was split cleanly in half, with a smooth surface at the cut edge.
"Congrattions, my wife! I haven''t seen you practice for a while, but your swordsmanship has improved a lot." Billy praised with a smile.
"Why do I feel like this sword can enhance the power of Stuart Sword Art?" Harleen looked somewhat surprised as she gazed at the broken stone pir.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
"That''s only natural," Billy said with a faint smile. "This sword was personally forged by de Lord. It''s not an ordinary weapon. Once you be proficient with it, you''ll be unbeatable, even against opponents a level higher than you."
Harleen''s eyes lit up. "Thank you, Billy!"
"Billy, when you mentioned de Lord, were you talking about the patriarch of de Sect? Next time, if you have the chance, could you take me to meet him? I want to thank him in person."
"Of course!"
For the next two or three days, Billy didn''t have any specific ns and spent quality time with his family. On the fourth day, in the morning, Billy and Stout set off for Celestiford.
Celestiford, situated within the territory of vale, was the core city of the central region, with a poption of over ten million and a city areaparable to the capital.
Rumors in the streets imed that
Celestiford had been built to the
standards and configurations reserved for vale''s future capital
city. Although there was no source for this rumor, some aspects of Celestiford''s departmental organization were indeed different from other cities. Besides the standard departments found in all cities, several core departments in vale had secondary branches in Celestiford. Additionally, the headquarters of the Central Region War Department was also located in this city.
Around 11:00 AM, Billy and Stout emerged from Celestiford Airport.
"Boss, Stout!" Azure Fang, apanied by Celestiford Inspector Michael Hornig, approached quickly to greet them.
"Yes!" Billy smiled faintly. "Let''s talk in the car."
Two minutester, Michael stepped on the gas pedal, and the car headed for the Celestiford SHADOW base.
"Boss I have the results of the investigation you requested," Azure Fang said as he handed a file folder to Billy. "Inside are some core dealings between the Central ins Business Association and the South Trade Group over the past three years. It involves various aspects and is quite serious."
"They''re quite audacious," Billymented, flipping through a few pages.
"In addition, the Central ins Business Association opened a branch office in Nanrania two years ago, and the person in charge was a younger brother of the Harvey n''s patriarch."
"After the incident in Nanrania, he
was recalled to the country by his family, and it seems that the branch office over there has been liquidated. Since his return, I had our people monitor his phone calls, and in the past few days, he made three caffs to Nanrania. As expected, besides business matters, he also discussed quite a bit of ssified information."
"The Harvey n is truly audacious," Stout remarked with a furrowed brow. "This could be considered an act of treason, and they should be eradicated."
"Have you found any connections between the Harvey n and the Central Region War Department?" Billy asked, furrowing his brows slightly.
"They have a military-industrialplex under its control, which has maintained a long-term cooperative rtionship with the Central Region War Department." Azure Fang replied before adding, "Their military industrialplex is managed by the patriarch''s younger sister, Janice Harvey, who is a prominent socialite in Celestiford."
Billy narrowed his eyes.
"That woman is not simple. She manages the Harvey n''s rtions with several core departments in Celestiford." Azure Fang continued. "In addition, she is a martial artist herself. She was sent to Cloud- Stepping Sect for martial cultivation from a young age and has now reached the Warlord level."
"Cloud-Stepping Sect?" Billy heard this name for the first time.
"Boss, it is a top-tier sect, slightly superior to Purple Light Sect." Stout exined.
"Interesting," Billy mused. "In that case, let''s find She Harvey first."
"Commander, since She Harvey
returned from Ozinst time, she
1.n
has been staying in the Harvey n''spound in Celestiford and hasn''t left." Michael Hornig reported while driving. "However, today, representatives from several martial sects have gone to there. It seems to be people from Cloud-Stepping Sect. She Harvey is responsible for receiving them. At present, they are all dining at a five-star hotel owned by the Harvey family. I''ve arranged for several of our men to keep an eye on them." Content
Billy raised an eyebrow. "In that case, let''s skip SHADOW for now and head straight to her location."
"Understood!" Michael Hornig responded loudly.
