In the center of the garden, on a sofa, sat a young man in plain clothes with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was Billy. Casey and Judge stood on either side of him.
After a simple disguise, Billy looked completely different now. He had no plans to let Ozin's people know he was back yet. Everything would have to wait until Harleen and her daughter were settled.
In addition to the three of them, there were ten intimidating men standing at each corner of the garden.
"Who are you? I am Albion Watkins, iIf you dare touch me, the Watkins family will never let you go!" Albion spoke up.
Billy swirled his glass of red wine before taking a sip.
"Gentlemen, do you remember that night five years ago?"
"What... what do you mean?" Albion was slightly stunned while the other two began to think it over.
"You don't remember? I understand! You've done so many despicable things that it's hard to keep track. Let me remind you then. Do you remember Samantha Miles?"
Upon hearing that name, all three men widened their eyes with panic flashing through them. On that night five years ago, it was extremely lively here, and it was also the most exciting time they had played in those years. Whenever they thought of that night, they would feel an inexplicable excitement. The only thing that disappointed them was that a woman named Samantha Miles finally jumped into the river and killed herself. But they had planned to use her more as their toy.
"Who are you?" Albion asked after taking a deep breath, wondering if Billy was someone left of the Miles family to avenge Samantha. But he remembered that the Miles family had been wiped out five years ago.
"Someone who wants your life!" Billy blurted out with a long face. "Are you scared?"
"You... you dare to kill us?" Albion glared fiercely, gritting his teeth. "You brought me here in front of so many people, my family must be on their way here now! If you dare, my father will certainly skin you!"
"Yes! If you dare to kill us, you will surely die a hundred times worse than us!" roared Jeff Jimenez.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you myself." Billy puffed on the cigarette and said, "I will have your elders personally kill you."
Soon, a hurried sound of footsteps could be heard. A group of thirty people rushed out of the hotel. They were from the three families. Brian Watkins, the second-in-command of the Watkins family, showed up first.
"Uncle, help me!" Albion shouted loudly.
"Dad, save me!" The other two shouted at the same time.
"Fuck, who are you? Do you know we are?" Brian snapped at Billy.
"Uncle, he's here to avenge Samantha that slut! You should kill him for me!" Albion called out.
"We can't it, my lord." One of the old men seemed to have an awakening and shuddered all over. He walked to Brian's side and said nervously, "He... they are SHADOW's."
"I don't care whether he's SHADOW or not, I must have him today..." Brian responded angrily. Halfway through the conversation, he shuddered all over and said, "What did you say? SHADOW?"
"Dressed in fine clothes, wielding a curved blade in the shape of a crescent moon, this is none other than SHADOW!" The old man spoke again with fear.
Upon hearing his words, everyone's faces turned pale in an instant, as if they had seen a ghost, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Excuse me... may I ask who you are?" Brian hesitated for a moment before asking Judge.
"I am Judge from SHADOW."
Brian and the other two leaders was shocked by what he said and their legs went weak. They all knew Judge, one of the "five sharp blades" of SHADOW. Each controlled one side. Ozin belonged to the eastern region, and Judge was the one in charge of SHADOW's control over this area.
Moreover, they all noticed that Judge was listening to another man. That made them curious about the identity of that man.
"Your Honor, may I ask who he is?" Brian pointed at Billy and asked Judge.
