Before the conversation could continue, Wally Hammond delivered a powerful palm strike, and Byron Clayton'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 Bureau come and support him, but things had taken a different turn, and he was not pleased with the outcome.
"Why, Mr Riley, do you want to interfere in SHADOW's investigation?" Billy responded nonchalantly.
"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, accompanied by a group of people.
"Governor Wade, hello!" Upon seeing the newcomer, 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 annihilation of the Dittman family, Special Patrol Squadron also takes it very seriously and we've been investigating the case. Originally, I was planning to visit SHADOW today to inquire about the situation. But when I heard that Commander Gardner was here at the Riley clan'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 clan from the matter.
"According to SHADOW's regulations, anyone who conspires with Ink Pavilion should be exterminated, their whole clan. 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 clan just for colluding with Ink Pavilion, wouldn't that be excessive?" Andy explained.
"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 Glavale are operating according to regulations."
"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."
