Chapter 43 Harleen's Suspicion
"It's... it's Brian Watkins." Eddie trembled as he spoke, bowing his head.
"I... I was just following his orders. Please, spare me." He pleaded.
"Since the moment you decided to go after Harleen, your life was no longer your own. Don't worry,Brian will soon join you." Billy spoke in a low voice.
"No! No!" Eddie screamed hysterically.
Before he could finish speaking, a burst of blood mist erupted and Eddie was gone in an instant.Damon gasped for air once again. The opponent he had been trying to eliminate for so many yearshad died so easily without even leaving behind any remains. He also admired Billy's courage anddetermination-when it came to killing someone, there was no hesitation or mercy.
"Master Eight, I leave the rest to you. You have one night to take over all of Eddie's territory!" Billyordered.
"Don't worry about those behind him, they'll soon be joining Eddie." As Damon said these words,Billy stood up and walked towards the door with Derek by his side. Damon finally snapped out of hisdaze and quickly bowed down in gratitude, "Thank you! Thank you, Mr Gardner!"
For him, this was a huge opportunity-from now on, the underground world of Ozin would only hearhis voice. As he felt a wave of joy, the words Billy had spoken still sent shivers down his spine.
Were they going to take on the major families in Ozin? Damon was lost in thought in helplesswonder since those were families that had been standing for decades here.
"Mr Gardner, are you planning on taking action against the three families?" Derek asked as they gotinto the car two minutes later.
"I wanted to let them live a little longer and deal with them after things settle down here. But sincethey're so eager to die, why not grant their wish? You'll arrange for people to start taking over theircore industries tomorrow. You have half a month to bring everything under control within WorldGroup."
"Don't worry Mr Gardner, I guarantee there won't be any problems," Derek replied loudly.
Meanwhile, Casey was driving towards Harleen's house with the two ladies trying hard to calmthemselves down.
"Casey, do you think Billy will be okay? I remember now, the person who caught us is named EddieNunez and he's from Ozin's underground world. Will Billy be safe staying there?" Harleen askedafter comforting her younger sister.
"Don't worry, Miss Knight. Mr Gardner will be fine because he has already notified his friends whoknow people at the police station. Eddie won't dare mess around." Casey reassured her confidently.He and Billy had already agreed on what story they would tell everyone else- whenever somethingwasn't convenient or easy to explain away, they would explain that they had some "friends" to help.
"How many friends does my brother-in-law have anyway?" Felicia asked once she regainedcomposure from being scared earlier.
"Well..." Casey hesitated before answering, "I'm not exactly sure about that."
"Oh yeah! How did you learn those moves? Where did you learn martial arts?" Felicia continuedasking questions curiously.
"I was born into a family of martial arts practitioners and started training at a young age. Later, Iwent to a military camp for a few years." Casey responded after some thought.
"Does my brother-in-law know martial arts? Is he as skilled as you?"
Casey was at a loss for words since he felt like that question hurt his pride.
"He also learned martial arts in the military camp," Casey said after thinking for a moment. "I haven'tcompared myself to him, so I don't know if I can beat him."
"Casey, tell me honestly, who are you and Billy?" asked Harleen.
"What do you mean?" Casey was slightly confused.
"I'm not stupid! Since the day you two appeared in Cloud City until now, many things have been toosmooth-sailing and unrealistic! In Cloud City, both Neal and the Thunder family are absolute giants,but you two easily rescued Tasha. Then there was the incident with our neighbour this morning.Egbert might not be top-tier in Ozin but he's heavyweight. Yet he willingly paid so much money tosettle it down peacefully. If it wasn't because someone made him wary of something or someoneelse, he wouldn't have done such a thing! And then there's the matter with Ozin Tower. Billy saidthat they could get the contract within one day and they did. Moreover, their director treated meexceptionally well when I went over there, it felt like they were afraid that I wouldn't sign with them.All these things couldn't possibly just be because he knows some friends who can help." Afterexpressing all her doubts in one go, Harleen fixed her gaze on Casey and asked seriously, "I justwant an honest answer from you."
"Um... Miss Knight, I can't answer these questions for you. Let's wait for Mr Gardner to tell you. Myrelationship with Mr Gardner is indeed a bit special, and it's precisely because of this, it's notconvenient for me to tell you at the moment. But don't misunderstand, not telling you is just for yoursafety, because the more you know, the more danger there is."
"Casey, are you and my brother-in-law secret agents or something?" Felicia asked with a twinkle inher eye.
Casey choked a little and replied, "Felicia, have you read too many novels?"
Then he said to Harleen, "Miss Knight, please trust Mr Gardner. He has told you before that he willmake up for what he owes your family over the years a hundredfold and he will do it."
"I see." Harleen didn't continue questioning. She was a smart woman. There was no point incontinuing to press him further since Casey had already said this much. Or, she would onlyembarrass both sides.
Soon enough they arrived at the entrance of their apartment building where Casey parked his car.
"Oh yeah," Casey said as they got out of the car. "If your parents ask why Eddie wanted to catchyou guys, try not to say too much. The more we say about it, the more worried they will be. Just saythat you don't know why Eddie wanted you caught, Mr Gardner rushed over before they couldinterrogate you so when he comes back maybe he'll tell them exactly why."novelbin
The two sisters nodded simultaneously.
About an hour later, Billy knocked on the door.
"Dad!" Tasha ran over when she saw him.
"Tasha, were you good at home? Did you listen to your grandpa and grandma?" Billy bent down andgave her a kiss.
"Of course!" Tasha nodded her head. "Tasha is a good girl. If you don't believe me, ask Grandpaand Grandma."
"I believe you!" Billy responded with a smile.
"Billy, are you alright? Did everything get resolved with Eddie?" Fletcher walked over and asked in aslightly worried tone.
