Chapter 367 Shocking the Whole City

"Yes, Commander!" Four SHADOWers escorted Leroy Holmes and Mirabelle Leonard onto the stage.

"Do you know her?" Billy pointed to Mirabelle and asked Night Orchid.

"Mirabelle Leonard?!" Night Orchid recognized the Leonard family's young lady and was slightly surprised.

"So it was you who did it! What a clever tactic!" said Night Orchid. At this point, she understood what was going on. Mirabelle Leonard had disguised herself as Night Orchid to commit the murders, intending to frame her. It was quite a cunning plan.

"You wanted evidence, right? We'll give it to you now!" Billy then looked at Judge and said loudly, "Show them the evidence they requested!"

"Understood!" Judge moved to the sound system on the side of the stage and connected a device. Shortly after, the projection screen on the stage displayed a video confession of Mirabelle Leonard.

"I killed the people at the casino. I disguised myself as SHADOW Governor Night Orchid and committed the murders. My purpose was to frame her..."

The video lasted for about ten minutes as Mirabelle Leonard explained the whole sequence of events in detail. Following that was Leroy Holmes' video, focusing on the people he had collaborated with and the entire plan, including preparations, execution, and the provocation after the crime. He also admitted to being involved with the event related to the Chambers family.

After watching the videos, many in the audience were left stunned. Some were among those named by Leroy Holmes, while others weren't, but they were well aware of their roles in this crime. Everyone had pale faces, looked terrified, and couldn't stop trembling. Originally, they had come to witness Night Orchid's punishment, but now, they had become targets themselves.

"You all are despicable!" After watching the videos, an angry middle-aged man shouted, "You should all be torn apart! You killed so many innocent people just to frame someone!"

"How despicable! You killed my son! I want your life!" Another middle-aged man, who was closer to the stage, roared and rushed toward it.

Many others followed him.

"Don't approach the stage. Everyone step back!" Several Central Sky Office staff members spoke sternly and blocked the crowd several meters away from the stage.

"Everyone, please remain calm. We will give you an explanation shortly!" Billy raised his voice slightly.

"Night Orchid, according to SHADOW regulations, what should be the punishment for Mirabelle Leonard and Leroy Holmes?" he asked.

"They should be executed!" Night Orchid replied loudly.

"Then they shall be executed!" Billy said firmly.

"Yes, Commander!" Night Orchid nodded solemnly.

"Night Orchid, your blade!" A Central Sky Office staff member threw Night Orchid's Cold Moon Saber onto the stage.

"Thank you!" Night Orchid caught the blade and, with a swift motion, struck down.

"No, don't..." Leroy Holmes cried out like a dying soul.

Mirabelle Leonard, on the other hand, showed no expression on her face, and her eyes remained emotionless. After Night Orchid's strike, the two fell to the ground.

"Thank you, Commander Gardner, for avenging my son!" the middle-aged man who had shouted earlier bowed deeply to Billy.

"Thank you, Commander Gardner!" other victims' family members also bowed respectfully.

"You're welcome. It's the duty of SHADOW." Billy replied.

At that moment, that Central Sky Office officer named Paul Welch received a phone call and quickly walked over to Bob Stokes. After a few words in hushed tones, Bob's expression changed slightly.

"Is it confirmed?" he asked.

"Yes, it's confirmed."

"I see."

"Bob, I'm entrusting the rest to you. Punish all those involved." Billy said as he and Night Orchid stepped down from the stage and approached Bob.

"Leave that part to me, boss, no one will escape!" Bob nodded solemnly.

"Alright!" Billy replied. "I have other matters to attend to. Tomorrow, wait for my call, and we'll have a drink together."

"Are you heading to the Holmes clan? I'll go with you." Said Bob.

Just now, Paul Welch had informed him about the situation, saying that he had just received word that the Army of Bloodshadow had surrounded the Holmes clan's estate, and both sides were currently in a standoff. Although Bob Stokes didn't know the specifics of what had happened, he was sure it must be something significant for Billy to personally intervene in the affairs of a noble clan in the capital.

"You don't need to go. Your identity is too sensitive, and it's not suitable for you to get involved." Billy laughed and said.

"It's not a problem. These scoundrels are the parasites of our nation. Sooner or later, I'll deal with them!" Bob replied. After a brief pause, he continued, "Boss, what dirty deeds has the Holmes clan done?" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"They're quite something. They conspired with Place of Darkness and tried to kill a thousand of my people from the Army of Bloodshadow." Billy's eyes narrowed with intensity.

"What?! They're asking for death! Wipe out their entire clan!"

The way Bob Stokes spoke, his tone, and his immediate call for wiping out their entire clan were reminiscent of Judge and the others around Billy. This was how they usually spoke, without hesitation.

After saying that, Bob headed straight for the exit. "Come on, boss, I'll go with you. Watch as I exterminate their whole family!"

"Alright, you stay here and handle things on this side. Don't worry about the other side." Billy stopped him.

In fact, the reason Billy didn't want him to go wasn't because of his sensitive identity. The Holmes clan's collusion with external enemies and their attempt to harm the Army of Bloodshadow was well

within the jurisdiction of Central Sky Office. However, Bob Stokes had just taken office a few days ago, and taking action against the noble clans so soon might have an impact on his future in the capital.

"Alright, then." Bob didn't insist any further. After a brief pause, he added, "But if they dare to resist, call me, I'll bring people over at any time."

"Okay!" Billy smiled and turned to leave.

At the same time, news of Night Orchid quickly spread throughout the capital. Some were delighted, while others were anxious. What shocked many even more was the revelation that the new commander of Central Sky Office referred to Commander Gardner as his "boss". For some, this news was even more frightening than news about Night Orchid.

Having one King of the West was troublesome enough, but now, there was another formidable figure rumored to have personal combat skills not much inferior to the king of the West's, which was undoubtedly a double whammy for them.

As people were still processing these two pieces of news, another explosive revelation swept through the entire capital - the Army of Bloodshadow had surrounded the Holmes clan!

Upon hearing this news, everyone's jaws dropped in shock. What was Commander Gardner thinking? Was he taking such drastic action because of Night Orchid's case? Wasn't this going too far?

Amid the shock, the majority of people began trying to gather information. However, despite their efforts, they couldn't find any concrete details except for the fact that certain individuals were surrounding the Holmes' residence. Everything else remained a mystery.
