"Young man, don't be so hot-tempered, or you'll regret it in the future." The mysterious person said calmly. After a brief pause, he continued, "Commander Gardner, consider it a favor from me. I owe you one, and I'll make sure to repay it when the time comes."
"Is your favor worth much?" Azure Dragon chimed in, equally frustrated.
"Commander Gardner, you've killed so many members of Sanctum of Darkness this time. If you kill him too, they will undoubtedly come after you relentlessly." The person continued, ignoring Azure Dragon. "I believe Commander Gardner isn't so arrogant as to think he can take on the entire Sanctum of Darkness by himself, right? As long as you accept this favor, I promise that Sanctum of Darkness won't pursue this matter any further."
"No matter your intentions, you'll regret your actions today." Billy said in a cold voice, then turned to Casey and the others. "Let's go."
"Thank you, Commander Gardner!" that person replied.
After Billy and his team left, a blur of movement quickly emerged from the shadows, lifting the wounded vice hallmaster of Sanctum of Darkness before vanishing at an astonishing speed.
His teleportation speed was jaw-dropping.
"Commander Gardner, how's your injury?" Rakshasa asked as they boarded the helicopter.
Casey and the others also looked at Billy, their hearts hanging in the balance. Though Billy had inflicted significant damage on his opponent, he must have been injured as well.
"I'm fine, don't worry. A few days of rest will do the trick." Billy said with a faint smile.
"Boss, are you okay?" Stout asked. "If you want, I can have my sister come here and take a look."
"No need," Billy replied. "It's just a minor injury, I can handle it myself."
"Boss, was that person a Rule Protector?" Casey asked. Now that it seemed like Billy was okay, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"While I can't be a hundred percent sure, it's highly likely." Billy nodded in response.
"Damn it! Rule Protectors broke the rule themselves, what a bunch of hypocrites!" Black Tortoise exclaimed in anger.
"There's nothing surprising about it. Since the rules are made by people, there will always be those who break them." Billy replied. "Besides, this might not be a bad thing."
"Boss, what do you mean?" Black Tortoise asked.
"It's simple," Casey explained from the side. "Judging from the cultivation level of that vice hallmaster, we may have underestimated the strength of Sanctum of Darkness. And since we've killed so many of their members, if they decide to seek revenge, even without their War God-Emperors, we might have trouble ensuring the safety of all the Rakshasa Hall members when we leave Place of Darkness."
"Moreover, we'll be leaving this place soon, so what about Rakshasa Hall?"
"Now I see." Black Tortoise finally understood.
"Boss, do you think that person indirectly helped us?" Azure Dragon asked.
"I can't be sure for now," Billy said, his expression thoughtful. After a brief pause, he decided not to continue this topic and instead turned to Azure Dragon. "When we get back, pay close attention to the situation in Nanrania."
Azure Dragon raised an eyebrow. "Boss, have you discovered something?"
"One of the five War Emperors who attacked us earlier was from Nanrania." Billy replied.
"Huh?" Casey and the others were all surprised.
"Nanrania is really audacious!" Azure Dragon's face showed a trace of anger. "This time, when we go back, we should settle the score for what happened ten years ago!"
"Agreed," Billy nodded. "They won't escape this time."
Three hours later, Billy and his team returned to Rakshasa Hall headquarters. In the following days, Billy and his team didn't rush back to their home country. They were cautious in case Sanctum of Darkness made another move, and they were also busy with the expansion of Rakshasa Hall's base.
Since Rakshasa Hall was going to be the main stronghold of Glavale's military in Place of Darkness, they needed to address the infrastructure needs. With an increase of three to four thousand members, the original base was no longer sufficient, so it had to be expanded to two to three times its size. Additionally, they established four forward bases within a hundred kilometers of Rakshasa Hall. The original headquarters of the other four factions were kept as backup bases.
After several days, the overall plan was nearly finalized, and the remaining task was construction.
Billy's injuries had healed after two to three days of rest, and with his help, several core members of Rakshasa Hall saw their cultivation levels rise again.
