Billy nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed, it's rather unusual."
Given his understanding of the Doman family, their response shouldn't be like this. They would have shown some sort of reaction by now, to some extent. But now, so many days had passed, and there wasn't even a hint of movement. It was clear that something was odd about this situation.
"Boss, if the Doman family continues to remain inactive, should we release the sins that Lord Buddha provided and then have SHADOW capture their people? Let's see how they react." Judge suggested.
"It's not impactful enough and doesn't serve our purpose." Billy shook his head slightly.
"What do you mean?" Judge looked slightly puzzled.
"Judge, doing something like that wouldn't achieve much." Derek explained from the side.
"The Doman family is different from those three families. Even if there's compromising record, it won't undermine their foundation."
"Those families have an abundance of people, and they can easily sacrifice a few members to diffuse any allegations."
"The relationships of these families are complex and intricate. It's not only about Enssea, they have connections in the capital city as well. Unless we have indisputable evidence that can bring them down, it will only be a superficial itch we're scratching."
"So, what's our plan then? Are we just waiting for them to come to us? It's not exciting if we only catch a few small fish." Judge said somewhat frustratedly.
Just then, a knock on the door sounded, and Donald walked in.
"Donald, what's up?" Derek asked.
"Sir, the Doman family sent an invitation letter," Donald handed the card to Derek.
"Hmm?" Derek paused slightly, taking the invitation and quickly scanning it before looking at Billy.
"Mr Gardner, the head of the Doman family has invited me to his birthday banquet, and he explicitly mentioned that I can bring people along."
"Oh?" Billy raised an eyebrow.
"They seem to be quite leisurely, even in the midst of all this chaos, they're still in the mood for a grand banquet," Judge commented coldly.
"Mr Gardner, would you like to attend?" Derek continued.
"They've already delivered the invitation. Why not?" Billy smiled faintly. "When is it?"
"Tonight," Derek replied.
"Heh, let's go and have a big meal tonight." Billy's eyes narrowed slightly.
The fact that the invitation allowed Derek Hines to bring people suggested that the Doman family was targeting Billy. And Billy wanted to see what this whole show was about.
In the evening at 5 o'clock, Billy and his group arrived at the designated venue for the banquet-a large estate on the outskirts of the city. The estate covered an area of at least 100, 000 square
meters, nestled beside a mountain and a river, boasting picturesque views.
"Please show your invitation cards," a man in black said as the five arrived at the entrance of the estate.
Derek handed over the invitation, and the man in black glanced at it, his expression flickering slightly.
"Mr Hines, please come in!"
Soon, they entered the estate. Inside, the place was bustling with activity, creating an extravagant atmosphere. The attendees at the banquet were all dressed in top-notch attire, exuding an extraordinary aura. Men wore suits and leather shoes, while women were adorned with pearls and jewels.
"Boss, it looks like tonight is a banquet of conspiracy." Stout assessed the surroundings and commented.
"Within this estate, there are at least ten Battle Gods and even two Warlords." He continued.
"Heh, you underestimate them," Billy smiled faintly, his gaze narrowing slightly as he looked deeper into the estate.
"Is the Doman family planning to trap us tonight?" Judge's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Interesting."
"It's okay, let's see what they're up to." Billy smiled again.
"Mr Hines, it's a pleasure to have you here. Thank you for coming." A man's voice came not long after.
The five turned their heads to see a handsome young man leading a group of people walking towards them. Billy's gaze swept over the young man, and his eyes slightly narrowed. Not only was the young man a martial artist, but his cultivation level was also not weak, at least at the later stage of the Battle General realm.
"Hello, Mr Doman," Derek greeted with a smile.
"Mr Hines, are these gentlemen your friends?" Robbie Doman, the young man, inquired. As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously flicked over Billy and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Yeah," Derek nodded and continued, "Mr Doman, I apologize for the rush today, I didn't get the chance to prepare a gift for your family leader. I'll make it up to him another time."
"You're too kind. Your presence itself is the best gift. I thank you on behalf of my uncle." Robbie Doman smiled in response.
"It's rare to see someone attending a birthday banquet empty-handed. Are you here for a free meal?" A disdainful expression appeared on a young man's face who stood behind Robbie Doman.
"And you are?" Derek looked at him and smiled.
"Stop talking to me, I don't deign to speak with freeloaders like you!" The young man retorted coldly.
"Is that so?" Derek smiled again. "What if I make you apologize?"
"Fool, who do you think you are? You want me to apologize to you?" The young man growled, "Master Robbie has a good temper. If it were me, I would have kicked you all out long ago!" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
"Are you not going to apologize?" Derek's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Mr Hines, please don't take offense. He isn't from Enssea, so he doesn't recognize you. Please forgive any offense."Robbie Doman spoke up. Afterward, he turned to his friend and said, "Richard, apologize to Mr Hines. Mr Hines's presence here is already a great honor to my uncle."
"Robbie, why do you indulge this kind of person? He's acting like he's somebody!" The playboy continued. "Fine with enjoying a free meal himself, and he's even brought four poor fellows along..."
Bang!
Before he could finish, Stout raised his hand, sending a gust of wind that knocked the playboy into a series of somersaults, leaving him seated on the ground with blood trickling from his mouth.
Robbie Doman furrowed his brows slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise. The group behind him also showed astonishment on their faces, clearly not expecting this chubby guy to possess such skills.
"How dare you lay a hand on me?" The playboy climbed to his feet from the ground and yelled angrily.
"Kneel!" Stout's voice was cold. He was incensed by the playboy who referred Billy as a poor fellow.
"I'll show you!" The playboy roared again, charging toward Stout with the skills of a warrior.
But after only a few steps, he was sent flying once more, crashing to the ground heavily. He spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to get up.
"Apologize, or die!" Stout's voice was stern.
"Sir, Richard is new here and unfamiliar with your distinguished selves. On his behalf, I apologize to all of you. I hope you can be magnanimous." Robbie Doman spoke after a brief moment of contemplation.
Just then, the sound of footsteps resonated, and a man with a sword at his waist walked over.
