"Sir!" Baxter stood up and saluted Casey respectfully.
"Without the gunfire and battles, you seem to have put on some weight." Casey chuckled.
"I apologize for that." Baxter replied awkwardly.
"It's alright. There's nothing going on here. You can withdraw your men." Billy waved his hand dismissively.
"Yes, Commander." Baxter saluted again before shouting at his men, "Everyone, retreat!"
The soldiers responded loudly and left altogether.
"You should go too. I'll find you when I'm done here." Billy turned to Baxter.
"Yes, Commander." Baxter didn't argue because he knew there were nearly a thousand SHADOW members present, not to mention Billy himself. It would be effortless for them to wipe out the Thunder family completely if they wanted to.
"I-It has nothing to do with us today, sir..." Roger Meyer trembled as he spoke up nervously.
"It was Garth who forced us here. We'll leave right away..."
"That's right! Garth threatened us that if we didn't come, he'd deal with both of our families..." The head of the Jimenez family shuddered as well.
Both of them regretted coming now that they had seen the situation unfold before their eyes. If they had known it would turn out like this, they wouldn't have come no matter what happened.
Meanwhile, they both realized that the Pena family must have known something beforehand, which was why they didn't show up. They cursed Chris Pena in their hearts.
"Stay put and behave yourself. Without the permission of Commander, if you dare to leave, you'll die!" Judge spoke sternly.
"Judge... we were forced..." They opened their mouths again to plead for mercy.
"Shut up!" Judge snapped at them before turning to Garth and threatened, "You still haven't told us where Tasha is. Do you want us to wipe out the Thunder family?"
Garth finally realized what was going on. He looked at Billy and said, "Your Honor, Tasha she's... she's..."
"Daddy!" Just then, a childish voice came from not far away.
Billy quickly turned his head to look over there. Although they had never met before, when he saw Tasha for the first time, he felt like there was an inexplicable connection between them.
"Tasha!" Billy's eyes turned red as he tried hard to smile before walking quickly towards her.
"Daddy!" After getting down from a police officer's arms, Tasha ran straight towards Billy without hesitation.
"Tasha, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Billy hugged the little girl tightly into his arms as tears flowed down his face.
"Dad, I'm okay, don't cry. Uncle said that you are a great hero and heroes shouldn't cry." Tasha lifted her small hand to help Billy wipe away his tears.
"Dad didn't cry, I just got a bit of grit my eyes." Billy forcefully suppressed his tears.
"I knew it, Dad, you would come to save Tasha..." The girl's voice gradually weakened, "Dad, Tasha is tired, I wanna sleep..."
The girl fainted directly. After being in a high-intensity state of fear for several dozen hours, she couldn't hold on any longer when she saw Billy.
"Tasha, Dad got you, no one will hurt you anymore." Billy gently patted Tasha's back.
