"No, they won't," Billy shook his head. "Although both of them hide it well, their eyes and spirit can't deceive people. Besides, when that old man, Elder Thorne was about to strike Arthur Fowler, Arthur emitted an uncontrollable aura. But he realized our presence and quickly concealed his aura."
"Boss, are you saying that Arthur Fowler can sense our cultivation levels?" Stout asked again.
"Most likely," Billy nodded slightly. "That old man can maintain his composure quite well."
Just then, Billy's phone rang, displaying Michael's number.
"Michael, what's up?" Billy answered the call.
"Commander, Azure Fang is in trouble!" Michael's voice sounded urgent.
"What happened?" Billy's brow furrowed.
"He has been seriously injured!" Michael took a deep breath and continued, "Earlier, we intercepted those two assailants with Azure Fang when we were almost at the airport. At first, everything seemed fine. But just when we killed the two assailants on the spot, three martial artists from the Ancient Martial World arrived."
"These three individuals attacked us without saying a word. They were all highly skilled, with one of them having reached the War Grandmaster Late Stage. It seemed like they specifically targeted Azure Fang. After seriously injuring him, they left without further harm to us."
Billy's brow furrowed again. "Is Azure Fang badly hurt?"
"He took a palm strike from one of them and is currently in a coma." Michael replied.
"Bring Azure Fang back to the SHADOW base. We are on our way back now." Billy instructed after a brief pause. "Also, have someone monitor the movements of those three assailants. Find out where they are headed."
"Understood!" Michael responded loudly before hanging up the phone.
"Boss, what happened to Azure Fang?" Stout asked as Billy put away his phone.
"He's been seriously injured!" Billy frowned. He then recounted Michael's report.
"Damn." Stout muttered.
After about three to four hours, the two of them returned to the SHADOW base.
"Commander!" Michael and a group of SHADOW operatives hurried over to greet them.
"Where is Azure Fang?" Billy asked.
"He's in the medical room," Michael replied and led the way to a room in the courtyard.
In no time, they arrived at a ward in the medical room. Azure Fang lay on a bed, lips turning blue, his face pale. His whole body seemed to be covered in frost, making him feel cold to the touch. Stout briefly assessed his condition, then reached out to check his pulse. Three minutes later, he looked at Billy with a slightly grave expression
"Boss, this is bad. It appears that Azure Fang was poisoned before being injured."
"Hmm," Billy nodded slightly. He didn't need to check the pulse; a single glance confirmed that Azure Fang was not only injured but also poisoned.
"Got poisoned?" Michael was taken aback. "Stout, do you know what poison he's been afflicted with? Can it be treated?"
"He hasn't been deeply poisoned, it's just a common Dissipating Force Poison, not difficult to counteract." Stout shook his head slightly. "But his injuries are troublesome."
