Chapter 728 Terrifying Thoughts!

    Ivy’s mouth twitched when she heard Urban Woolery’s words. What she had actually said to him was that Billy had been injured by Gavin Langstaff and had some wounds, but it shouldn’t be too serious, so the Prime Minister didn’t need to worry too much. But in Urban Woolery’s mouth, it became that Billy’s heart had been shattered and his life was in danger. He was clearly trying to take advantage of the situation.


    “How could Lord Langstaff be so confused?” Hubert West’s face changed suddenly. After pausing for a moment, he looked at Ivy and asked, “Lord Chandler, how is Commander Gardner doing now?”


    “His atrium is damaged and his life hangs in the bnce. Whether he can make it until tomorrow is unknown!” Ivy replied bluntly.


    Urban Woolery gave her an approving look from the side.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    “The fact that Commander Gardner’s life is in danger has been ssified as top secret. Anyone who leaks this information will be punished ording to nationalw!” After a brief pause, Urban Woolery waved his hand at everyone.


    “That’s enough! Everyone can leave now! Lord Hum and Lord Rowe, you go arrange things immediately!”


    “Yes!” Otis Hum responded loudly before turning around with Zero Rowe to leave.


    “All cab elders listen up: lead your people out to search for Gavin Langstaff. Once found bring him back to the cab!” Urban Woolery continued sternly.


    “Understood!” The elders of the cab responded quickly before rushing out of the door one after another.


    “Ivy,e with me to SHADOW.” After giving these instructions, Urban Woolery turned towards Ivy before striding out of the conference room.


    With this series of orders given by Urban Woolery , the atmosphere throughout the entire city became exceptionally oppressive. The streets were filled with workers wearing different government uniforms; each one looking tense while hurrying about their business


    Forty minutester, Urban and Ivy met Billy in a reception room within SHADOW courtyard. Billy’s injuries were mostly healed thanks to Heart Sutra of the Azure Void’s effect .


    “Billy, the situation today was too dangerous. You shouldn’t do something like this again next time!” After roughly examining Billy’s injuries, Ivy finally let out a sigh of relief, knowing they weren’t severe.


    “It’s okay, I know what I’m doing.” Billy smiled back at her response.


    “What if something happens?” Ivy red at him irritably before speaking, “I don’t care. If there is another next time, I’ll just call Opal directly. Let theme find you themselves!”


    Upon hearing that name, Billy choked on his saliva and several figures shed through his mind. He quickly surrendered, with a slight twitch of his mouth, saying, “Ivy, please don’t. I promise there won’t be a next time!”


    Seeing Billy’s reaction, Ivy couldn’t help but smile. After a brief pause, she turned to Urban Woolery and said, “Minister Woolery, you talk to Billy while I wait outside. Call me if you need anything.”


    “Sure thing!” Urban Wooleryughed heartily.


    “Commander Gardner, I have to thank you for this generous gift,” he said after Ivy left.


    With his intelligence level, he knew that Billy was creating an opportunity for him. Ever since he heard about Billy being injured by Gavin Langstaff in the Cab courtyard meeting room before him, he had suspected something was up. He knew very well that although Gavin Langstaff’s skills were simr to Billy’s as both were War God-Emperors at their peak levels of power; their strengths were not on the same level at all. If it weren’t for Billy intentionally allowing it to happen, given Gavin Langstaff’s skills, there would be no way that he could have injured Billy.


    “You’re very wee,” replied Billy with a sip of tea in hand.


    “Commander Gardner,” Urban Woolery asked with a smile while holding up his tea cup. “Do you have any guesses?”


    “What do you mean by that?” asked Billy with an equally light smile in response.


    “How did you know I wanted to reorganize the Cab?” Urban Woolery responded. “You must have noticed something or guessed something right?”


    “I thought that among those who lurked within various government offices from the ancient martial arts world should be one or two people who held high-ranking positions such as Control Seal Upper Ministers.” Continued Billy after putting down his teacup.


    “But unexpectedly enough,” he added, “the highest position among those people is only a First Minister!”


    “And based on what has happened in recent years within our capital city,” continued Billy, “it’s clear that some things may not be so easy even for someone holding such high status.”


    “So do you suspect there are members from the ancient martial arts world within our Cab elders?” smiled Urban Woolery.


    “That is just one aspect of my reasoning!” replied Billy smiling back. “If we only rely on spection like this without any evidence then naturally we cannot use it as proof!”


    “Oh? You mean, you have concrete evidence?” asked Urban Woolery slightly surprised.


    “There’s no concrete evidence, but it can be used as a basis for spection.” Billy responded.


    Urban Woolery raised an eyebrow. “I wonder what your basis is?”


    “It’s about Hubert West’s background. I’m not sure if it’s convenient for you to share with me.” Billy didn’t directly answer Urban Woolery.


    “Hmm?” Urban Woolery was taken aback again, his pupils slightly contracted before he spoke.


    “Hubert Westes from a family of officials. His grandfather and father were both government officials, and his father even held the position of Elder in the Cab.” Pausing briefly here, he asked back, “What does you mean by this?”


    “Half a month ago, I learned something at Sky-Quaking Daoist Sect!” After taking another sip of tea, Billy described what Theobold had told him earlier.


    “Hmm?!” After listening to Billy’s words, Urban Woolery frowned tightly and his pupils contracted again. Although he had long suspected that there were people from the ancient martial arts world in the Cab, he never doubted Hubert West.


    The West family had been serving as officials for three generations and their all took up high positions. If Hubert West had close ties with the ancient martial arts world, did that mean his father and grandfather also had simr problems? Three generations of them! It was terrifying to think about it.


    The capital city needed a thorough overhaul now!


    Without much hesitation, Urban Woolery put down his teacup and took out his phone to send a message after editing it.


    “Thank you, Commander Gardner!” After putting away his phone, Urban Woolery stood up and looked at Billy before speaking.  “You shouldn’t be in too much hurry to return to Ozin these days, right? After dealing with this matter first,e visit meter on; there are some things I want to discuss with you.”


    “All right!” Billy also stood up, “Before National Destiny Channel opens up again, I’ll stay in the capital city for now.”


    “Good!” Urban Woolery nodded, “Stay at SHADOW for now. Don’t show yourself outside yet.”


    After finishing speaking, he walked towards the door.


    “I understand!” Billy nodded in response, “Take care, Minister Woolery!”


    Billy originally wanted to handle Hubert West’s affairs himself but gave up after considering it briefly because after all; he only heard Theobold mention something like that, and whether or not Hubert West was involved with ancient martial arts or how deep their involvement was still remained unknown.


    And Hubert West’s identity was quite special, so if it was not handled properly, there would be some trouble. That was why it was best to leave it to the prime minister to handle.


    An hourter.


    On the outskirts of the western part of the capital city, in front of a private estate that was unremarkable and hidden from view. An old man hurriedly walked over from a distance. It was none other than Gavin Langstaff, who had been tricked by Billy. At this moment, his face was so gloomy and his anger permeated throughout his body.
