"Great, that's fantastic!" Fletcher laughed heartily.
"Yoo-hoo, we're a family now!" Tasha blurted out excitedly in Harleen's arms.
Harleen's eyes welled up with tears.
At four 4 PM, the family returned home from the park. Billy had wanted to talk to Harleen alone but received a call from Casey instead.
"What's up?" Billy answered the phone and asked.
"Hey, bro, there might be some progress on what Osmond mentioned last time." Casey responded.
"Have you found someone?"
"Not yet, but someone might know something." Casey paused before asking, "Have you heard of Black Eagle?"
"Black Eagle?" Billy was slightly taken aback. "The former underworld boss in Ozin?"
Before the Miles family got into trouble, Billy didn't pay much attention to the underground world but had heard of Black Eagle back then. Back then Black Eagle was as powerful as Damon was now, having the final say in the underground world.
"Yes," Casey replied. "Judge found out that around the time of Miles' incident, Black Eagle disappeared without a trace. It was only after his disappearance that Ozin's underworld fell into chaos again and gave Damon an opportunity to rise."
"Do you mean, Black Eagle was involved with the Miles family?"
"I can't be sure yet." Casey responded. "But it's too coincidental! At that time, Black Eagle was at his peak just like Damon now. If there wasn't a special reason, he wouldn't have chosen to leave. I think even if he didn't participate in the Miles family's affairs, he might know something."
"Should we go see him?" asked Casey.
"Where is he now?" Billy asked after a moment of thought.
"According to our investigation, after he left Ozin 5 years ago, he disappeared until 2 years ago when he reappeared under the name, Hannibal Twitty, and opened a popular casino in a small town 200 kilometers away from Ozin."
"Oh, really? Let's go see him then." Billy responded.
Casey's reasoning was obvious. Someone like Black Eagle who had such an underground influence would not willingly choose to leave his domain during his prime period unless there was something going on. Furthermore, using an alias now clearly indicated that there were problems.
"All right!"
Casey hung up the phone.
About half an hour later, Casey and Judge arrived downstairs at Harleen's house and drove off with Billy as well.
"Have you asked Damon how much he knows about Black Eagle?" Billy asked shortly after they left in the Land Rover.
"I have. At that time, he was only a local leader in Ozin's suburbs and had little interaction with Black Eagle, who was several levels above him. When Black Eagle left Ozin, there were two other leaders before he took over. He knew very little about what happened at the time, only that Black Eagle offended some big shot and was expelled from Ozin."
Billy nodded slightly.
An hour and a half later, the three of them arrived at the small town Casey mentioned.
"Should we just surround his casino? Drag him out?" asked Judge.
"No. Let's not startle him." Billy shook his head. "If he chose to stay in such a small town, it must be to avoid something. He probably has an escape plan ready by now. Let's go inside the casino first and see what's going on."
Judge nodded before stepping on the gas pedal again.
Twenty minutes later, they stopped at the entrance of a medium-sized mansion on the southern outskirts of town.
"Show your membership card!" A muscular man stopped their car at the gate.
"We're here out of curiosity. How do we get a membership card?" Casey spoke up.
"No entry without an introduction!" The man responded in a deep voice.
"Can we make a deal?" Casey pulled out several wads of cash from the glove compartment of his Land Rover and handed them over.
"Hold on!" The man took the money and looked at it before turning around to make a phone call.
Two minutes later, he returned to the car. "Park your car outside and follow me."
"Thank you." Casey replied.
Soon, under the man's guidance, they obtained a regular membership card. Although it was just an ordinary card, they had to recharge at least five million.
This underground casino seemed like a big deal. Then, the three of them walked towards a three- story building on the inside of the estate.
As soon as they reached the door, they saw someone being kicked out by another person. He fell heavily onto the ground with blood spewing from his mouth and injuries all over his body. One arm hung limply from his shoulder.
"Dare to cheat here? It's a warning for you! If there is a next time, you won't leave here alive!"
"I didn't cheat, you can't afford to lose..."
"What did you say? Do you wanna die?" a guy in black took two steps and walked up to him. " You have one minute. If you don't get out of here, don't leave today!"
"It's robbery! I..." The man spat out another mouthful of blood.
"If you don't want to live, I will fulfill your wish!" The guy of the casino raised his foot to step on the man's heart.
"For a little bit of money, do you have to resort to violence?" Judge spoke up. He helped the man up and said, "Alright, hurry and leave. Money is important, but you need your life to spend it!"
"Get out of here, don't go looking for trouble." The man in black snapped at Judge.
"Guests are all welcome here. If people find out that you treat your guests like this, who would dare come gamble here?" asked Judge. Afterwards, he looked at the man who was knocked down on
the ground and asked, "Aren't you leaving yet? Are you willing to risk your life for some money?"
"Th-thank you!" The man thanked them before stumbling towards the gate.
The man in black took another look at Billy's group. He was probably surprised by their aura but didn't say anything else before turning around and walking towards the lobby.
The three of them then entered the first floor hall. Looking around, there were all kinds of gambling tools available with many people gathered around each table. Soon after they walked around the hall, taking note of each table's situation where games were being played big time with hundreds of thousands being wagered per round.
"It seems Black Eagle isn't willing to retire just yet, he has quite a few men under his wing." Judge commented.
Casey responded nodding his head as they sat down in an adjacent resting area. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"This kind of shady place should've been shut down long ago!"
"Just in this hall alone, there are at least three Warriors reaching later stages, not including those inside private rooms."
"Even Damon can possibly lose."
"Bro, what's the plan now? Are we just gonna grab someone and interrogate them?" Judge turned to Billy.
