“Mr Nunez…” Vivian Dous cried out with a face full of grief. The onlookers around, each with shocked expressions, couldn’t believe what they were witnessing. It was widely known that Commander Gardner was decisive and ruthless. Today’s events only confirmed those rumors.


    Magnus Dous looked at the two lifeless figures on the ground, exhaling a heavy breath with a face so grim it seemed ready to drip water. Both Silent Mirage Sect and Hundred Flowers Sect had lost their young masters on the same day in his Dous residence. He wondered how he would exin this to the two major sects.


    “Everyone, today we won’t entertain guests. Please leave!” Tristan Dous addressed the onlookers with a solemn tone, his face equally unpleasant.


    “Commander Gardner, do you really want to take it this far?” Tristan Dous took a deep breath before speaking. “I admit your skills are formidable, but you should know that if we, the Dous family, turn hostile, even if we can’t keep you, none of the people you brought will leave here alive.”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    “You fool!” Stout retorted. “You can try!”


    Soul Chaser, Gerry Schuman, and the others gripped their sabers, exuding a battle-ready aura, focusing on the members of the Dous family.


    Rowan Wheatly, despite his injuries, showed no less fighting spirit than the others.


    “Commander Gardner, what exactly do you want?” Magnus Dous asked Billy with a cold tone.


    “You have two choices,” Billy spoke again. “First, hand over the lives of the four who attacked me just now. Second, if you want to spare their lives, answer a question for me, and I’ll let them go.”


    “What question?” Both Magnus Dous and Tristan Dous were puzzled.


    “Who is your son Ruthless Lordling’s martial arts master?” Billy fixed his gaze on Magnus Dous.


    “What?” Magnus was puzzled again. “Is this why you came today?”


    “You got it right!” Stout added.


    “I don’t know why Commander Gardner is interested in this matter.” Magnus asked, seemingly confused.


    “That’s not the question you should be asking,” Billy responded calmly.


    “If you can’t tell me your purpose, Commander Gardner, I’m afraid I won’t be able to disclose it.” Mangnus Dous frowned.


    “Alright then! Just hand over the lives of those four people!” Billy pointed to Erasmus Dous and the others.


    “Commander Gardner, by pressing so hard, you’re making enemies!” Tristan Dous looked at Billy with cold eyes.


    “I’ve always heard that Commander Gardner is a genius of a millennium. Today, I have the honor to witness it and learn from your exquisite skills!” he continued sarcastically.


    “You’re an old fool, you’ll see!” Stout sneered. “You think you can challenge my boss?”


    “Commander Gardner, please proceed.” Tristan Dous ignored Stout and continued addressing Billy.


    “Alright,” Billy responded indifferently.


    “Wait a moment!” At this moment, Erasmus Dous quickly walked up to Tristan Dous and whispered a few words to him.


    “Hmm?” After hearing Erasmus Dous’s words, Tristan Dous’s pupils slightly contracted. Then he turned to Billy and spoke with a somewhat resigned tone, “You managed to kill War God-Emperors in the pinnacle realm?”


    Erasmus Dous’s words to him were the same as what Billy had said before; he had recently killed two War God-Emperor experts in ce of Darkness!


    “What, scared?” Soul Chaser said in a deep voice.


    Tristan Dous also let out a deep breath, then turned to Magnus Dous with a somewhat helpless tone.


    “Tell him about Errol’s master!” For him, although he wasn’t sure if what Erasmus Dous said was true or false, he didn’t dare to gamble! What if it’s true?!


    “Sure!” Magnus Dous nodded solemnly and then turned to Billy.


    “Which of the three masters did that rebellious brat apprentice under, Commander Gardner, do you want to know?” asked Magnus.


    His mindset was the same as Tristan Dous’s- he would rather believe there was something than nothing. If Billy really had the ability to kill War God- Emperors in the pinnacle realm, a full-scale conflict with him today would probably lead to the direct destruction of the Dous family! Moreover, disclosing this information to the other party didn’t entail any loss for the Dous family.


    “Among the three, whose War God-Emperor momentum is represented by the Yin-Yang Tai Ji diagram?” Billy asked.


    “Yin-Yang Tai Ji diagram?” Magnus Dous responded after a slight pause, “As far as I know, the Imperial momentum of those three experts is not represented by that.”


    “Impossible!” Soul Chaser frowned, “Then who taught your son ‘Ruthless Tai Ji’ Technique?”


    Ruthless Tai Ji was the sword technique Ruthless Lordling used when facing Billy, and the God-Emperor momentum condensed by the sword technique was represented by a Yin-Yang Tai ji diagram.


    “Ruthless Tai Ji?” Magnus Dous was once again surprised, “Honestly, I have no idea where that brat learned that sword technique! And I can be sure that it definitely wasn’t passed down by those three experts!”


    As he said this, it seemed like he remembered something, and a hint of something unusual shed deep in his eyes.


    “You must have something else to tell me.” Billy stared at him, calmly speaking.


    “I heard that after my son left for Heartbreak Valley not long after and stayed there for a year.” Magnus Dous continued. “As for whether he learned the sword technique there, I can’t say for sure.”


    Listening to the name of Heartbreak Valley, Rowan Wheatly’s eyes couldn’t help but show a trace of surprise.


    “Heartbreak Valley?!” Stout frowned and asked in a deep voice, “Are you sure he stayed there for a year?”


    “I’m sure!” Magnus Dous nodded in response, “He took the title of Ruthless Lordling during his time there!”


    “He’s pretty good at picking ces!” Stout’s eyes showed a hint of seriousness.


    “Do you know Heartbreak Valley?” Billy asked Stout, “What kind of ce is it?”


    He left home at the age of fifteen, then spent nearly ten years in Ozin, and then went to Ether Mountain for martial arts training, so he didn’t know much about the martial arts world.


    “Yeah!” Stout nodded solemnly, “My father mentioned it to me!”


    “Although Heartbreak Valley is a ce name, it is also the code name for a force that has existed for a thousand years!”


    “It is said that a thousand years ago, an extraordinary expert was deceived by his beloved woman. In sorrow, he wielded his sword and ughtered over a thousand members of the woman’s family. He then established Heartbreak Valley.”


    “Not long after that, Heartbreak Valley rose like a dark horse in the martial world. Unstoppable, in less than a hundred years, it squeezed into the ranks of the top martial forces.”


    “As it developed to this day, it is difficult for outsiders to know its specific strength. There are legends that the overall strength of Heartbreak Valley is approaching that of a super sect!”


    “So powerful?” Soul Chaser was slightly surprised before asking, “Is Heartbreak Valley a sect?”
