Chapter 354 Then Let's Start With You
Upon hearing the words from the SHADOW operatives, those who were unaware of Billy's identitysuddenly collapsed. They were shivering in fear, and some even had the unfortunate experience ofwetting themselves. Terrified by Judge's actions earlier, they were now in complete despair.novelbin
"Take them all back for a thorough investigation. Once we find any wrongdoing, they will bepunished." Billy ordered sternly.
"Yes, Commander!" all twenty operatives replied in unison.
"No!..." Dwayne Rowse shouted loudly. He was well aware of the terrible things he had done. If hewas investigated, he would have enough crimes to warrant multiple death sentences.
Faye Rowse's face turned pale. Over the years, she had done many despicable things under theassumption that being the young miss of the Rowse family gave her immunity. Just last month, in afit of jealousy, she had ordered a group of men to assault a woman, leading to her suicide. Thisactions could certainly lead to Faye Rowse's execution.
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, at the eastern gate of the Rowse estate, SHADOW DeputyInspector Patrick Eland led a hundred SHADOW operatives as they disembarked from theirvehicles.
"Who are you people?" Four men at the gatehouse looked at them with suspicion.
"Group One, stay here. Group Two, head to the back gate. Group Three and Four, go to the sideentrance." Patrick Eland ordered with a wave of his hand.
"Without my instructions, no one is allowed to enter the estate. Anyone who resists should beeliminated!" Patrick Eland instructed.
"Understood!" the operatives replied in unison before dispersing.
"Inform the master, go!" one of the gate guards said to his companion with a trembling voice.
"Alright..." The companion nodded and pulled out his phone to make a call.
After about five minutes, the sound of footsteps echoed.
Following that, Martin Rowse, the head of the Rowse family, came out with a large group of people,his face not looking pleased.
"Who are you people? Who gave you the authority to come to my house..." Martin Rowse spokewhile walking, his aura emitting a strong presence. Midway through his words, he recognizedPatrick Eland and was momentarily stunned. Then, he furrowed his brows and continued speaking,"Deputy Inspector Eland, what do you mean by this? What are you trying to do?"
He had dealt with Patrick Eland a few times before. As the head of the number one powerhouse inLinkville, he naturally wanted to have a closer relationship with SHADOW. However, Patrick Elandhad never given him face, publicly humiliating him on several occasions. Therefore, Martin Rowsehad long held a grudge against Patrick.
"Nothing serious, just go for a walk here." Patrick Eland spoke up.
He had received orders to first encircle the Rowse family, preventing anyone from entering orleaving. As for the rest, he was to await further instructions.
"Damn it, do you SHADOW people think you're invincible?" Martin Rowse's third younger brother,Daley Rowse, stepped forward, pointing at Patrick Eland.
"This is the Rowses' private estate, we don't welcome you. Tell your people to get lost!"
"You act so high and mighty!" Patrick Eland responded coldly. "You'd better pray for yourself."
"What do you mean?" Daley Rowse furrowed his brow.
"You'll see!" Patrick shrugged his shoulders, his voice cold.
"Stop the nonsense. If you don't leave now, I'll have my people throw you out!"
"You can try!"
"I'm done playing nice!" Daley Rowse waved his hand and said, "Escort them out of the estate, akilometer away from here!"
"Yes, my lord!" dozens of martial artists responded and began moving forward.
"Group one, listen up. Any resistance against SHADOW operatives is punishable by death!" PatrickEland shouted loudly.
"Understood!" all twenty-five SHADOW operatives replied simultaneously as they drew their curvedblades, emitting an aura of death.
The dignity of SHADOW couldn't be trifled with.
"Patrick Eland, you've brought this upon yourself. Don't blame me! Attack!"
The martial artists of the Rowse family followed orders and charged towards the group ofoperatives. At that moment, several extremely sharp blade attacks swept through, unstoppable.
The fighters at the forefront had not even realized what was happening when they fell to the ground.The rest of the group immediately halted their charge, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at
Billy and the others approaching from a short distance. Though they didn't know who had arrived,the few slashes they had witnessed had shown that they were no match for the newcomers. Theseindividuals had the strength of at least a Battle God in the later stages.
"Commander!" Patrick Eland and the operatives bowed in unison.
Billy nodded slightly. "No one has left, right?"
"Yes! No one left." Patrick Eland replied firmly.
"Very well."
"Who are you SHADOW people?" Daley Rowse asked, looking at Billy with a frown.
"You dared to attack SHADOW openly? You're quite something!" Judge retorted coldly.
"Are you Commander Gardner?" Daley Rowse said with a trembling voice. Except for CommanderGardner, he couldn't figure out who else could be addressed as 'Commander' by a deputy inspectorin SHADOW. There was also a knot of tension in his stomach. And he finally realized that theremust be something big happened since this man was here. The rest of his family members, uponhearing these words, all had a look of shock on their faces simultaneously.
"The antiques market, it's unlikely that it's solely the work of the Rowse family, right?" Billy began.
While the Rowse family was the dominant force in Linkville, they had limited influence beyond thisregion. Given their capabilities, it was unlikely that they could gather such a group of outlaws ontheir own. Furthermore, without someone backing them up from behind, they wouldn't have had thecourage to undertake such actions.
"I... I'm not entirely clear about your intentions, Commander Gardner." Martin Rowse's heart sankupon hearing Billy's words. He knew this was a significant matter.
"Is that so?" Billy replied calmly and then turned to Judge, saying, "Since he's unwilling to speak, tellhim what crimes the Rowse family has committed."
"Certainly," Judge nodded and turned to Martin Rowse, speaking in a stern tone. "The Rowse familyin Linkville has been harboring two A-level SHADOW fugitives, four B-level fugitives, and eight C-level fugitives. According to SHADOW regulations, anyone harboring SHADOW fugitives isconsidered an accomplice. All members of the Rowse family involved in this case shall beexecuted."
"Execute!" Patrick Eland and the group of SHADOW enforcers shouted in unison.
A chill ran down the spines of the Rowse family members, and many of them began to trembleuncontrollably.
"At the brink of death, you still cling to your stubbornness." Judge said coldly. "Then let's start withyou!"
With those words, he once again drew his curved blade.
Martin Rowse could no longer hold out and knelt on the ground. The core members of his familybehind him followed suit.
"Have mercy, Commander Gardner," Martin pleaded with a trembling voice. "We were only acting asintermediaries. It was... it was at the orders of Mr Holmes..."
