Chapter 260 The Yarwood Family's Helper

Billy had SHADOW's son, who had only now made an appearance, for the purpose of getting the Yarwood family to acknowledge certain matters voluntarily. Otherwise, the Yarwood family could easily claim that this was merely the action of Jesse Yarwood, unrelated to their family. That was certainly not the outcome Billy desired.

Jack Yarwood let out a heavy sigh and inclined his head slightly towards Billy. "I apologize sincerely. I didn't know you were affiliated with SHADOW, and I may have offended you earlier. I hope you can forgive us."

"The Dark Omen Technique was acquired by my son, Jesse Yarwood, through less than honorable means. The Yarwood family had no knowledge of this matter. Please, I implore you to spare the Yarwood family." Jack Yarwood continued.

Judge chimed in, a sly smile on his face. "Oh, you're changing your tune quite rapidly, aren't you? Weren't you saying something else earlier? I have it all recorded if you'd like to hear."

Jack Yarwood's face turned as pale as a ghost. "I..."

"Alban Carroll, hear my command!" Billy's voice was low and commanding. "Arrest everyone, investigate this matter thoroughly, and execute anyone involved."

"Yes, Commander!" Alban Carroll responded loudly.

Thuds echoed through the crowd as some of them collapsed, trembling uncontrollably. Especially the core members of the Yarwood family wore expressions of utter despair. As Billy had previously mentioned, Jesse Yarwood had harmed numerous young girls, and they had undoubtedly been complicit in the matter. The Yarwood family was in dire straits.

"Don't take this any further. The Yarwood family won't be swayed by your threats." Jack Yarwood said with determination.

"Well, it seems you have a last resort," Judge sneered. "How about I give you an hour? Will that be enough time?"

Jack Yarwood let out another sigh before nervously pulling out his phone. The number he dialed had been stored in his phone for many years, and he had never used it before. He knew he had only one chance to make this call, so he wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.

The phone rang for a while with no answer. Jack Yarwood was uneasy, so he dialed again.

"Who is this? It's so late, can't you let people sleep?" a slightly irritated voice answered.

"Sir, I apologize for disturbing you at this late hour. I am Jack Yarwood from Yarlington City..." Jack Yarwood spoke cautiously.

"Hmm?" The voice on the other end hesitated for a moment. "It's been many years, and you finally made this call."

"Thank you, sir, for remembering me." Jack Yarwood replied.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" the voice asked.

"I... I have a request, sir," Jack Yarwood said nervously. "I'm asking for your help to save the Yarwood family."

"You should think carefully. Your father saved my life back then, and I promised him that I would give the Yarwood family one chance to seek assistance. But there's only one opportunity, and you sure you want to use it today?" the voice continued.

"I... I've thought it through." Jack Yarwood replied.

"Very well, this will finally put my mind at ease," the voice sounded relieved. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Jack Yarwood proceeded to describe the situation, selectively leaving out the Yarwood family's involvement and blaming the crimes solely on his son, who had attracted the attention of SHADOW.

"I understand. SHADOW has become increasingly arrogant and unruly in recent years." The voice responded after hearing Jack Yarwood's account. "Simon seems to be in your city these days. I'll have him meet you. Send me the address."

"Thank you, thank you, sir!" Jack Yarwood said with gratitude.

"That's enough. Remember to delete my number from your phone." The voice instructed before hanging up.

Jack Yarwood let out a sigh of relief. He believed that with the influence of the person on the other end of the call in the capital city, the Yarwood family had a chance to survive this ordeal.

He quickly sent the address.

"Have you finished the call?" Billy asked, looking at him. "You have one hour. That should be enough time." Billy then turned to Judge. "Give them one hour. If they don't arrive by then, take them all."

"Understood!" Judge responded loudly.

Billy then got up and headed towards the martial arts academy's main hall, followed closely by Stout. Since the other side wanted to send someone, Billy was willing to give them a chance, curious to see who they would bring.

The other party arrived relatively quickly, in less than forty minutes, at the entrance of the estate. The leader was a man in his forties, with a square face, tall and sturdy, exuding a strong presence. He was accompanied by ten men and women, all of them serious and emanating a formidable aura.

"Who is Jack Yarwood?" the man asked as he walked into the courtyard in a deep voice.

"Good evening, sir!" Jack Yarwood quickly walked up and bowed respectfully. "I apologize for disturbing you at this late hour. After tonight's matter is resolved, I will certainly..."

"That's enough!" The young man waved his hand, cutting him off. "Let's get to the point."

With that, he walked up to the crowd and looked at Judge, who was sitting in a chair and engrossed in playing a mobile game. "Which one of you is from SHADOW? Identify yourself!"

"Quite. Let me finish this level!" Judge didn't even look up, completely focused on his phone.

"Outrageous!" A woman behind the young man pointed at Judge and scolded loudly. "How dare you speak like that!"

"Don't cry!" Alban Carroll, standing nearby, said calmly. "I advise you not to disturb him. If he fails this level, he'll have to start over, and that will take at least an hour."

"You..." The woman frowned. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"Alright!" The young man waved his hand. "I've heard about SHADOW's arrogance and recklessness. Today, I've seen it for myself. Since that's the case, we can wait for him to finish one more round."

And so, they waited for half an hour. Just as the young man's patience was running out, Judge cheered, "Yes! I did it, finally passed the level!"

"Finished?" The young man's eyes flashed with seriousness. "Which one of you is from SHADOW?"

"Are you the reinforcements the Yarwood family brought?" Judge examined the man up and down. "You certainly look impressive. Who are you?"

"From the capital city, Imperial Guard, Simon Holmes." The young man replied with a solemn tone.

"Oh, so you're an important figure from the Imperial Guard." Judge exclaimed with an expression of surprise. "Are you here to represent the Yarwood family?"

"I understand the situation between your two parties," Simon Holmes said with a furrowed brow before taking on a commanding tone. "You SHADOW, don't push your luck. This matter ends here. Withdraw your people!"
