Chapter 140 The Big Case Three Years Ago
"Do you know who was talking big now?" Harper Rodriguez glanced at the two of them. "Too late!You can go talk to the police yourselves!"
After speaking, she took Harleen's hand and walked towards her office.
"Ms Knight, come with me to my office." Said she.
Behind them came the sound of Gerald Patton and Isabella Martinez collapsing to the ground. Bothof them had pale faces and were trembling all over. Especially Gerald Patton, he had not only gotinvolved in economic issues but also forced himself on female colleagues. He probably wouldn't beable to get out of this mess for the rest of his life.
It was 7 PM that evening when Harleen returned home from work and told Billy about whathappened at the company today.
Then she looked at Billy and asked, "Honey, why did Ms Rodriguez suddenly become soenthusiastic towards me?"
"Well, that's easy to understand," Billy smiled. "From your description, she must have wanted todeal with that guy named Gerald Patton for a long time but just didn't find the right opportunity. Andyour performance today gave her a good chance, so naturally she wants to thank you. And nowyou're on her side, she's just using this as an opportunity to build her network."
"But why isn't she afraid of Gerald Patton anymore?" asked Harleen.
"She couldn't have become the general manager without any background, maybe she just hadn'tfound a breakthrough before." Billy laughed again.
"That's it." Harleen nodded slightly, "Your explanation seems to make a little bit of sense."
"Shouldn't it make perfect sense?" Billy chuckled.
Derek had already called Billy earlier today and briefed him on the situation. Billy had neverexpected that his wife would end up working for a subsidiary company of World Group. But it wasstill good news, at least he didn't have to worry about Harleen being bullied at work in the future.
"That's just speculation, we need time to verify it!" Harleen playfully made a face, "And I can't let youget too proud either."
"Okay, okay." Billy shrugged with a smile.
...
On the next morning, Billy was playing with toys with Tasha at home when Judge's call came in.
"What's up?" asked Billy.
"Boss, we found the whereabouts of the S-class wanted criminal that Song Toye mentioned." Judgeresponded.
"Oh? Do you know who this person is?"
"It hasn't been confirmed yet but based on Song Toye's description of their appearance, there is ahigh possibility that they are related to a major case from three years ago!" Judge's tone wassomewhat serious.
"What major case?" Billy was slightly taken aback.
"Are you free today? Shall we go check it out? I'll give you more details when we meet later." Judgeasked.
"Alright." Billy nodded in response.
Half an hour later, Judge and Casey drove up to the villa.
"Boss, this is a portrait sketched according to Song Toye's description." After Billy got into the car,Judge handed him a portrait.
"Is there anything special about it?" Billy asked after taking a look at it.
"Take a closer look at his right earlobe." Judge responded.
"Hmm!?" Billy seemed to realize something. After pausing for a moment, he spoke, "Do you suspectthat he is Ebony Lord?"
As the master of SHADOWS, Billy knew everything about all the wanted criminals of SHADOWabove S-class, including some of their features. Therefore, as he saw that small crescent-shapedbirthmark on the right earlobe in the portrait image, a S-class wanted criminals' appearance floatingin his mind. Although the person in the portrait looked completely different from the one in his mind,they were possibly the same person since there were not many people with that crescent-shapedbirthmark on their right earlobe.novelbin
"Uh-huh," Judge nodded heavily and continued, "I suspect that he has undergone plastic surgery.According to Song Toye's description, his age and height are similar to Ebony Lord!"
"Really?" Billy narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Boss, who is Ebony Lord?" asked Casey.
"Ebony Lord's real name is Spike Arnold. He was nicknamed Ebony Lord because of the birthmarkon his right earlobe."
"He was one of the original 'Five Sharp Blades' of SHADOW, the top leader in the East District,which is where I am now. There was a saying in the underworld at that time, 'It's better to provokethe Death Lord than Ebony Lord!'" Billy explained.
"Oh?" Casey looked slightly surprised. "If he's such a prominent figure, why did he become a Swanted criminal of SHADOW?"
"That has to do with a major case three years ago." Judge said gravely.
"What case?" Casey became interested.
"Three years ago, an SSS-level wanted criminal recorded by SHADOW appeared in the north. Themaster of SHADOW at that time led all Five Sharp Blades and rushed over. SSS-level wantedcriminals are the highest level criminals in SHADOW and each one carries out super big cases. Soas long as their traces are found, SHADOW will try everything to capture them."
"They chased after him for a day and night until they were led into an original forest in the northerndistrict."
"And then?" Casey nodded slightly and continued asking.
"And then there was no more news." Judge responded solemnly.
"What does that mean?" Casey was slightly stunned.
"Except for Ebony Lord, all other members of SHADOW perished inside that forest." Judge took adeep breath before continuing, "Ebony Lord only appeared once after one month but it was justonce. Since then, there has been no trace of him whatsoever."
Immense Surprise flashed across Casey's face as he asked again, "What? Could they have allbeen killed by that SSS-level wanted criminal?"
"That was impossible!" Judge shook his head.
"The opponent was indeed strong, with the cultivation of a True Master Battle God, but at that time,the master of SHADOW had already reached the strength of a Warlord, at novice level though."
"Moreover, Ebony Lord was halfway through the cultivation from a Warlord to the next level at thattime. And the other four Sharp Blades, they were all Battle Gods at gandmaster level. The opponentcouldn't have killed them."
"So you mean there were people lurking in that primitive forest?" Casey asked again.
"No doubt about it!" Judge nodded and said, "And the appearance of that SSS-level criminal wasalso intentional and aimed to lure them over!"
"Who would dare to attack SHADOW?" Casey frowned slightly.
"God knows!" Judge shrugged his shoulders.
"Why was Ebony Lord later listed as a wanted criminal?" Casey paused briefly before continuing toask.
"After the master of SHADOW was killed, someone from the capital city temporarily took charge ofSHADOW." Judge did not directly answer his question.
"Who was it?" Casey asked.
