Chapter 73 Important Clues

The gamblers rushed out of the door, leaving behind a group of black-clad men writhing in pain on the ground.

Billy turned to Black Eagle and asked, "So, do you have anyone left to call?"

"You... you've become a member of SHADOW?" Black Eagle trembled as he asked. As someone with his status and position, he knew what being associated with SHADOW meant.

"If there's no one left, how about we chat?" Billy took a drag from his cigarette.

"What happened five years ago had nothing to do with me. It was... the work of the three families, Jimenez, Malcom and Watkins..."

“I never said it was you," Billy replied. "But surely there are some things that you can tell me about.” "What... what things?"

“Can you tell me why you left Ozin after the Miles family incident?” Billy asked again.

“I... I grew tired of all that violence and killing. I just wanted to find a place...” Black Eagle shuddered uncontrollably.

"Black Eagle, I advise you not to test my patience any further.” Billy interrupted him sternly. Suddenly there was knocking at the door.

At this moment, around thirty or forty men in fancy attire marched up to the door of the private room and simultaneously bowed.

"Commander, the entire estate has been cleared. Please give further instructions!"

“Call the local police station and have them take over." Billy replied.

"Yes, sir!" The group responded in unison.

Black Eagle, who had just gotten up from the ground, collapsed again. This time, his face was even more filled with shock than before.

Looking at Billy with trepidation he asked, "You... you're Commander Gardner?"

With his experience and knowledge, he knew that there was only one person within their territory who could be called "Commander" by SHADOW's elite soldiers-King of the West and master of SHADOW.

"Now can you tell me who that woman was that you instructed three major families to attack?" Billy spoke again.

Black Eagle let out a deep breath. If he still held any hope before then it had vanished completely now. This man was an absolute giant in their world; there was no way Black Eagle could stand against him.

“I... I don't know exactly who she was... only that she's a very beautiful woman..." Black Eagle struggled to swallow before continuing.

“Five years ago, she came to me first and asked me to attack the Miles family. But at that time, I hac established myself as the underground king in Ozin and didn't have much conflict with the Miles family. So I declined.”

“This could have been the end of it."

"But... but something unexpected happened during that meeting. The woman may have had a relapse of an old illness and was writhing in pain on the couch...”

“I heard someone call her Lady Peony. And her veil fell off because of her movements, revealing her true face."

“It was for this reason that she developed murderous intent towards me and sent people after me on the second day after our meeting.”

“Luckily, I was prepared for it. After losing an arm due to their attack, my companions fought bravely to protect me and we managed to escape.”

"But I knew they wouldn't give up easily on pursuing me so I fled overseas for two or three years.” “Later on, I heard that the Miles family had been exterminated and their goal had been achieved. Sc two years ago, I dared return home thinking they would gradually give up chasing after me." "You're pretty lucky!" Billy squinted his eyes. "Do you still remember what she looks like?"

“It's been too long now and it was just a quick glance so my memory is not very clear.” Black Eagle shook his head.

“I only remember there was a beauty mark about as big as a grain of rice between her eyebrows." After speaking he looked back at Billy. "That's all I know, Mr Gardner, please spare my life..."

"Take him back! Draw out whatever details you can remember about her appearance!” Billy ordered Immediately, Black Eagle was hit by a palm strike from Judge and fell to the ground unconscious. Ten minutes later, the three of them drove back to Ozin with Black Eagle.

"Oh, by the way, brother. We got a response from the capital.” Casey spoke up after driving for about ten minutes.

"They won't approve your resignation but they'll give you three months off and expect you to repor back in the capital after that."

"Whatever," Billy added as he expectedly shrugged his shoulders.

Casey nodded before speaking again with a thoughtful tone. "Roderick showed up at the Watkins family that night. It doesn't seem like it was just a coincidence.”

"We have no connection with him and we didn't notify him beforehand about our plans for the Watkins. How did he know we were going to take action that night?"

Billy smile lightly and asked, "Do you think those old fogies in the capital would be so kind as to give me three months off?"

"What do you mean?" Both Casey and Judge looked confused.

"Boss, are you saying Roderick was sent by them?" Judge asked further clarification from Billy.

"Of course!” Billy's eyes narrowed slightly before continuing his explanation. "Jake is injured and no able to perform his duties properly while Roderick’s strength is still too weak to intimidate everyone in East District.”

"But I'm here now working for free right under their noses! What a group old cons indeed!" Casey couldn't help but comment sarcastically on their situation now.

"Forget about them though, let them do whatever they want.” Billy dismissed their concerns before turning towards Casey once more. "Have you been able to contact Jake yet?"

"We can't reach him, he's not in Ozin. He must have been recalled to the capital.”

"Well, forget it then. We'll talk about it next time." Billy nodded slightly.

Over an hour later, their Land Rover entered the outskirts of Ozin.

As the their car stopped at a traffic light at an intersection, an unlicensed Hummer sped past from the side, almost knocking two pedestrians crossing the street off their feet. With that speed, it was at least 120 miles per hour and disappeared in a blink of an eye around a bend ahead.

The three of them exchanged glances with a hint of surprise in their eyes. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Two Battle Generals?" Judge paused briefly before speaking with a slightly solemn expression on his face.

"Yeah!" Billy frowned slightly.

Not only did they detect that both people in that car were Battle Generals, but they also sensed strong bloodthirsty aura emanating from them.

"Judge, send all SHADOW boys stationed in Ozin out to search for any suspicious individuals who may have infiltrated Ozin within our full range. Wait for my order if they find any traces, no sudden moves. Report immediately as soon as possible.”
