Chapter 232 Another Incident

“You and Stout should head to Enssea. Get the Toye family to hand over the family members implicated by Will Toye. Also, find out the location of WestCloud Trading Company's hideout in Glavale." Billy instructed after a moment of thought.

“Yes, boss!"Stout continued, "Boss, why not wipe out the Toyes? They're nothing but treacherous burglars!"

"For now, follow my plan.” Billy waved his hand and continued with a thoughtful look, "Enssea needs a thorough cleanup.”

Both of Judge and Stout nodded.

"Boss, what if the Toye family doesn't cooperate?" Judge asked. "Obstructing SHADOW's investigation will be seen as being in league with them." Billy's gaze sharpened.

“Understood!” They nodded and left.

At 8 PM that evening, Billy received a call from Judge, who informed him that, unexpectedly, the Toye family had been quite cooperative. They willingly handed over the individuals implicated by Will Toye. This result was as Billy had predicted. Clearly, someone had intervened and warned the Toye family. If they hadn't cooperated, they might not have only lost these few people. Judge also informed Billy that the WestCloud Trading Company's hideout in Glavale turned out to be in Enssea. But when he and his team arrived there, the place was deserted.

Time passed quickly, and half a month flew by in the blink of an eye. Casey Kimmons and Azure Dragon had officially taken over the east district's War Department. Their first task upon assuming their roles was to reorganize and purify the team. Additionally, as per Billy's plan, White Tiger had officially showed up under the starry sky of Place of Darkness. Accompanying him were his four lieutenants and a thousand Bloodshadow warriors specially selected by him from the Tenth Legion. Billy had assigned three tasks to White Tiger.

First, collaborate with Rakshasa to quickly establish an iron-blood team in the Place of Darkness.

Second, fully understand the various forces in that area, particularly uncovering the nations supporting each faction.

Third, gather intelligence about Place of Darkness and understand the organization behind it.

Before leaving, Billy had boosted White Tiger's cultivation to the latter stages of the Warlord level with his help. White Tiger was now just a step away from reaching the pinnacle of the Warlord level. This level of power might not allow him to dominate the Place of Darkness, but he should be able to handle matters reasonably well. Moreover, his four lieutenants were all at the latter stages of the Battle God realm.

Worth mentioning was that, during this time, the "Five Sharp Blades" had been diligently training and had each made breakthroughs. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Azure Fang, Frostblade and Night Orchid had all broken through to become Warlords, while Judge even advanced to the Half-Step Warlord level. Soul Chaser had not lagged behind, reaching the True Master stage of a Battle God.

With Billy's help, Stout had also broken through to the peak of the Warlord level. Coupled with his extraordinary medical and poison skills, even if he encountered a War Grandmaster at the initial stage, he should be able to hold his own.

One morning, shortly after Billy and Stout dropped Tasha off at school, an unknown number called Billy's phone.

"Who's this?" Billy answered the call.

"Mr Gardner, it's Amir Donald!" The urgent voice of an elderly man came through the phone.

"Donald? What's happened?" An image of the old man by Derek Hines's side at the exhibition popped into Billy's mind, making his heart skip a beat.

"Master Derek is missing!" Donald hesitated slightly before continuing. “I went out on business yesterday and didn't return home in the evening. When I went to pick up Master Derek for work this morning, I didn't find him at the villa. I tried calling his phone, but it's turned off. I later asked the company secretary, and she said he didn't go to the office today. I thought he might have turned off his phone while on a flight, so I checked the flight information for today's flights to Enssea. There's no record of his boarding any of the flights.”

"His phone has remained off all this time."

"Hmm?" A cold sensation enveloped Billy. “Is there anything unusual at the villa?"

"Nothing!" Donald replied. "Everything is tidy. I think he probably didn't come home last night.”

"Besides you, are there any other people who usually accompany him?" Billy continued to ask.

"There are two people, but I tried calling them, and their phones are also off." Donald answered.

"Do you know what he was doing last night?" Billy furrowed his brows, asking further.

“Last night, he was receiving guests at the Celestial Restaurant.” Donald responded.

"I see. Continue looking around the places he frequents. If you find anything, let me know." Billy instructed.

"Yes!" Donald responded before ending the call.

"Boss, has something happened?” After Billy hung up the phone, Stout asked.

"Derek might be in trouble!" Billy's brows slightly furrowed as he recounted Donald's message.

"Could it be the work of the four families?" Stout raised a brow.

“It's possible, but not certain.” Billy shook his head. After a brief pause, he sent a message to Harleen, informing her that he might be heading to Enssea for a few days. Next, he called Judge, gave him a brief summary of the situation, and asked him to join him.

Billy was well aware that Derek's disappearance was likely not so simple and thus it was necessary for him to go to Enssea. Moreover, the city needed some thorough housekeeping, as not only had the Sakura Blossom Trading Company emerged, but now the WestCloud Trading Company had appeared as well. He didn't know what other chambers of commerce might spring up next.

Enssea was one of Glavale's important cities, and it couldn't tolerate the antics of such small fry.

Twenty minutes later, Judge arrived. With a press of the gas pedal, the Land Rover driven by Stout sped toward Enssea.

"Boss, does anyone in Enssea know about your relationship with Derek?" Judge asked after they left the vicinity. "I mean, is it possible that the Toye family or the Wood family knew about Derek's connection to you, they're unable to deal with you so they decided to take it out on him?"

"Except for the Ryan family's young miss who might have some suspicions, the others probably aren't very aware." Billy responded after a brief pause.

"You mean the one we saw at the exhibition last time?" Judge inquired. "Yes," Billy nodded. "However, that woman is quite intelligent. She's unlikely to divulge it."

Continuing his instructions, Billy said, "Call Liam and ask him to pull up the surveillance footage from inside and around Celestial Restaurant last night. Let's see if we can find any leads.”

"Right after you called earlier, I already gave the order. We should have results soon.” Judge replied.

As soon as Judge finished speaking, his phone began to ring.

“Liam, how's it going? Any findings?" Judge answered the call and inquired.
