"You..." the man on the other side spoke again.
"If you don't shut up, I'll send you down to join them!" Vermilion Bird interrupted him.
The man opened his mouth as if to retort, but he felt the killing intent emanating from Vermilion Bird and involuntarily closed his mouth.
Emmett Mills let out a heavy breath. He then looked at Billy. "What do you want?"
"Do you know why I came to find you?" Billy asked calmly.
"Is it about what happened ten years ago?" Emmett Mills took a deep breath.
He wasn't a fool; he had long guessed what this was about.
"You have half an hour, gather all five hundred people who were involved in that incident ten years ago." Billy replied. "Otherwise, today, I'll level your Nanrania Palace to the ground."
"Do you dare? You..." the previous deputy spoke up again.
Before he could finish his sentence, Vermilion Bird's wrist flicked, and a cold light shot out like lightning.
"No..." The man's face turned pale. With a flash of the blade, he immediately fell to the ground, lifeless, legs twitching without breath.
"Commander Gardner, you're going too far!" Emmett Mills shouted angrily. "This is Nanrania, not your Glavale. If you push us too far, we might as well go down together!"
"Are you trying to tell me that you're prepared to use thermal weapons?" Billy sneered. Then, with a stern tone, he said, "Azure Dragon, notify the Southern Border Army. Lock onto Nanrania's capital with all thermal weapons. Within half an hour, if I don't see those culprits from ten years ago, Nanrania's capital will disappear from the map."
"Understood!" Azure Dragon responded loudly and then sent out a mobilization order on his phone.
With the transmission of this message, Glavale's Southern Border Base immediately entered a state of readiness. All heavy firepower was activated. Billy's words were not a joke. As soon as he gave the order, this city of nearly ten million people would be leveled within te minutes.
"You..." Emmett Mills trembled with anger.
Just then, footsteps were heard again, and a group of people walked out from behind the crowd. The leader, who was less than sixty years old, was dressed in yellow robes, had a square face, deep-set eyes, and an aura of a king about him. The person who arrived was the ruler of Nanrania, Dominic Newman. Behind him were dozens of people, all exuding an aristocratic air, obviously members of Nanrania's elite.
But one person stood out from the rest. He was someone Billy knew, Clifford's son, Mark Barber.
Mark Barber's eyes were filled with boundless hatred as he looked at Billy, his teeth clenched, his face contorted, and his nails dug into his palms, causing a few drops of blood to ooze out. His hatred for Billy was beyond words.
Apart from him, there was another person in the crowd who also looked at Billy with intense hatred. He was Mark Barber's father, Nanrania's Prime Minister, Terence Barber.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The soldiers from Nanrania all knelt down and saluted.
"Are you Commander Gardner from Glavale's Western Division?" Dominic Newman ignored everyone else and strode forward, speaking with a solemn voice.
"Be careful, Your Majesty!" Emmett Mills quickly followed.
"Mr Barber, do we meet again!" Billy still didn't pay attention to Clifford but turned to Mark Barber and said casually.
"You scoundrel!" One of the high-ranking Nanrania officials took a couple of steps forward and shouted at Billy, "The Sovereign is speaking to you. Can't you hear? Kneel down."
