"Furthermore, have them reveal their network of relationships within the country!" Billy continued to instruct. All suspects are to be arrested and detained, regardless of who they may implicate. We will not tolerate any leniency!"
"Hidden Ninjia Society?" Judge paused for a moment before angrily exclaiming, "There's really something wrong with Sakura Blossom Trading Company! They're asking for trouble!"
"Call Azure Fang and his team again. Investigate all branches of Sakura Blossom Trading Company within the country." Billy continued with his orders.
"Understood!" Judge nodded vigorously before hanging up the phone.
After Billy hung up the phone, Elijah Ryan and his two companions immediately knelt down in front of him, trembling more and more violently. They had already heard Billy's words, and judging from how he gave orders, they could tell that he held a high position within SHADOW. They were well aware of how powerful SHADOW was within the country of Glavale.
Hardly any major clans within the country dared to underestimate SHADOW. Moreover, they also knew that just a few days ago, a young lord of the Wood family in Enssea had been killed by someone from SHADOW. They would never have thought that they would encounter such an intimidating figure by chance.
The three men regretted their decision deeply.
"Sir... I'm sorry. I didn't know you were part of SHADOW... I really am sorry..." Elijah Ryan apologized while kowtowing repeatedly with a trembling voice.
"Do you want to kneel now?" Billy asked coldly. "Weren't you tough just now? Are you scared now?"
He continued, his tone becoming more serious, "You better not let SHADOW find out that you or your family have anything to do with the Hidden Ninjia. Otherwise, your days as a big shot will be over."
"I swear it's not true." Elijah Ryan trembled.
"Our family only has business cooperation with Sakura Blossom Trading Company. Nothing else," he added quickly.
"It's not up to you whether there is or isn't any involvement. We'll wait for SHADOW's investigation results." Billy interrupted him and then asked, "What was your purpose in coming to Ozin with him?"
"After the three major families in Ozin had problems, there were many business opportunities left behind. He... he invited me over to take a look..." Elijah Ryan replied hastily. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"Get out of here!" Billy waved his hand dismissively.
The three men bowed again before scrambling towards the door and running away unsteadily.
Meanwhile, as Judge made several phone calls, thousands of SHADOW members across the country began moving towards various branches of Sakura Blossom Trading Company. Overnight, all branches of Sakura Blossom Trading Company in Glavale were sealed off and all related personnel were taken away for investigation. Those domestic institutions that had business dealings with Sakura Blossom Trading Company became nervous when they heard about this news. After learning about what happened, everyone became fearful and started self-inspection first thing in the morning, checking if they had any involvement in anything sensitive or controversial themselves.
The next day morning saw many people voluntarily approaching SHADOW seeking leniency for their actions - any behavior that showed a willingness to sell out the country would be punished
severely without exception.
That afternoon, Billy was driving with Casey when his phone rang. "Judge, what's up?" Billy answered the call.
"Boss, the Special Patrol Squadron is here and they're demanding to take Ebony Lord in for questioning!" Judge sounded angry.
"Is that so? They came pretty fast," Billy replied calmly. "I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, he told Casey, "Let's go to SHADOW." For him, ever since Judge issued that notice on behalf of SHADOW, he knew that the Special Patrol Squadron would definitely come knocking at their door. Three years ago, Ebony Lord not only made it onto SHADOW's wanted list but also became a high-priority target for the Special Patrol Squadron.
By issuing that notice through Judge, Billy was actually waiting for them.
Ebony Lord had disappeared for three years and now he was back in everyone's sights; it was certain that those in power had received news of this as soon as possible. For them, their first step would be to send someone from the Special Patrol Squadron to test Billy's determination. If it didn't work out, they would take further action.
"What happened boss?" Casey asked as she stepped on the gas pedal.
"People from Special Patrol Squadron went to SHADOW and want to take Ebony Lord away." Billy responded.
"Are they asking for trouble?" Casey coldly chuckled. After a brief pause, he continued, "But, the aristocratic families have been operating in the Special Patrol Bureau for many years and they have many loyalists inside. We must be careful."
"What can a small Special Patrol Bureau do?" Billy said with a faint smile. "They eat their fill and sit idle all day long. They only serve as lackeys for others and I'm afraid they've forgotten the purpose of setting up the Special Patrol Bureau! They better not push their luck. Otherwise, I'll just shut down the Special Patrol Bureau in Ozin directly!"
"Okay," Casey's mouth twitched slightly.
As expected of Billy, he had such courage. Perhaps only he dared to evaluate Ozin Special Patrol Bureau in this way. If this were heard by those in the capital city, there would probably be a large number of people who would be angry.
Meanwhile, two groups of people from SHADOW were confronting each other with an intense atmosphere on site. One side was led by Judge along with Alban Carroll and other core members of SHADOW in Ozin following closely behind him; the other side was led by a man with stubble on his chin from the special patrol bureau. Clay Yates and Marvin who were both inspectors at Ozin also attended. Both looked slightly embarrassed on their faces.
"Judge, we hope you can cooperate with us when we handle this case." Said Alexander Hall sternly. He was Provincial Governor at East District for special patrol bureau .
"You guys really have some nerve coming to SHADOW to handle your cases! Who gave you that authority?" Judge responded coldly
"The special patrol bureau has been ordered to capture Ebony Lord who is wanted by authorities in capital city. This is an order from them. Are you going against orders?" Alexander Hall continued speaking solemnly .
"Trying to scare me using capital city? Too bad it won't work!" Judge sneered, "You can't intimidate me!"
"I'll say it again, Ebony Lord is my SHADOW's lifetime honored elder, not some wanted criminal!"
"Judge, are you going to go against the grain?" Alexander Hall furrowed his brow. "Can you handle the consequences if something goes wrong?"
"Enough with the chit-chat," Judge's tone grew serious. "The members of SHADOW are all upstanding individuals. Without the so-called wanted criminal you speak of, get out now! Otherwise, it will be seen as an attempt to attack our SHADOW base and will be met with swift retribution."
