"He insisted that Ms Knight had to have dinner with him before the contract could be signed. Ms Knight refused, so the contract wasn't finalized." Ava Jones continued.
"Hmm?" Billy furrowed his brow.
"Ms Knight didn't want to entertain his request, and she even considered dropping the project," Ava Jones took a deep breath. "But today, he directly came to our branch office and said many offensive things to Ms Knight. He even threatened to shut down the branch if she didn't have dinner with him."
"Send me the address of your branch office, and I'll come over immediately," Billy's voice was filled with cold determination.
"Alright..." Ava Jones hesitated for a moment before adding, "Mr Gardner, Ms Knight didn't want me to call you. She thought you were busy with important matters and didn't want to disturb you, so please don't tell her that I informed you."
"I see," Billy replied before hanging up the phone.
One minute later, he received a text message from Ava Jones with the branch office's address.
"What's happened?" Stout and Judge looked at Billy with concern.
"Heh, someone is feeling too comfortable," Billy said with a faint smile before briefly explaining the situation to his two companions.
"These rich and spoiled brats don't know what they're doing!" Judge huffed.
"These wealthy playboys have no idea how to appreciate anything." Stout added, sounding exasperated.
"Alright, Judge, you return to SHADOW. Stout and I will go to Shenford." Billy calmly instructed.
"Boss, let me go with you." Judge offered.
"No need. Shenford falls within the Central Zone's jurisdiction, and I'll inform Azure Fang if anything happens." Billy waved his hand. "You've been away from Ozin for nearly half a month. It's time to handle SHADOW's affairs."
"Yes, sir." Judge agreed.
At 5 p. m., Billy and Stout arrived at Shenford Airport. They hailed a taxi and headed towards the address of SunPark Group's branch office.
Shenford was one of the major cities in the Central Zone with a population of over ten million. It held a significant position within the Central Zone, second only to the central hub of Celestiford.
As Billy and Stout rushed to their destination, two cars stopped outside the SunPark Group's branch office. One was a luxury convertible Lamborghini worth over ten million, and the other was a Mercedes-Benz business vehicle.
Five people disembarked from the cars, led by a man in his sixties. Four burly men followed closely behind him.
"Master Mick!" They approached the Lamborghini and bowed respectfully to the young man in the driver's seat.
"Have you booked the restaurant as I instructed?"
The young man named Mick Watts lit a cigar and took a puff.
"Yes, I've done whatever you instructed. No other customers will be there tonight." The old man replied.
"Well done!" Mick Watts had a puff at his cigar and nodded.
"Master Mick, we could simply have her abducted and brought to your room," one of the burly men with a shaved head suggested.
"You simpleton! Do you think she's a woman from a brothel?" Mick Watts glared at him. "A woman like her needs to willingly undress herself to truly satisfy me!"
"Master Mick is right. I've been too shallow in my thinking." The shaved head man replied, his lips twitching involuntarily. Inwardly, he was perplexed. "When has Master Mick become so gentlemanly?" he thought. If he remembered correctly, last month, Mick Watts had ordered him to abduct two uncooperative B-list female celebrities. Those two women were still lying in the hospital now.
"She's coming out!" Soon, the elder pointed towards the entrance of the office building.
"Tsk tsk, how can there be such a beautiful woman? Compared to her, even those A-list celebrities have to step aside!" Mick Watts couldn't help but swallow hard, his Adam's apple bobbing as he watched that graceful figure.
"That woman is indeed stunning. She outshines even the number one beauty in Shenford!" The crew-cut man licked his dry lips and commented.
"You're such a brute, what do you know about appreciating beauty?" Mick Watts retorted with a smirk. He then pushed the car door open and stepped out, followed closely by the elder and the others.
"Ms Knight, hello! Are you finished with work?" He approached Harleen Knight briskly.
"Why are you here again?" Ava Jones frowned. "Ms Knight and I won't be dining with you. Give up on that idea."
"You loudmouth! If you don't shut up, I'll make sure you never speak again!" The crew-cut man scolded with anger.
"You..." Ava Jones began to retort.
"Ava!" Harleen Knight interrupted sharply, then turned her cold gaze towards Mick Watts and said firmly, "Mr Watts, I've officially notified you that our company has decided not to proceed with the project. We have no more business relations. Please refrain from disturbing me in the future."
"Heh, Ms Knight, I didn't come here today to discuss business with you. I came here specifically to invite you to dinner." Mick Watts smiled faintly.
"I'll emphasize this once more. I'm already married, and I will absolutely not have dinner alone with a strange man." Harleen Knight's eyebrows furrowed. "Furthermore, I'm returning to Ozin later today, so I don't have the time to dine with you."
"Ms Knight, perhaps you haven't realized something yet." Mick Watts smiled again. "Without my consent, you'll find it difficult to leave Shenford, whether you're taking a plane, train, or driving yourself."
"You really are a scoundrel! If you continue like this, we'll call the police!" Ava Jones spoke up again.
As soon as she completed the sentence, the shaved head man took a couple of steps forward and slapped her, sending her sprawling to the ground.
"You bitch! Didn't you hear what I said earlier? Call the police? Maybe I should give you the private number of their boss." The shaved head man sneered.
"What are you doing, you brute!" Harleen helped Ava up and then turned to Mick Watts, her voice cold. "I strongly advise you not to go too far. Otherwise, you will regret it." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"Is that so?" Mick Watts took another puff of his cigar. "All my life, there haven't been many things I regret, so I'm curious to see how you can make me regret anything."
"Don't think that your family can rule the roost in Shenford. If things escalate, even your family won't be able to protect you!" Harleen took a deep breath. In her mind, the image of Billy appeared. She believed her husband truly had the capability to handle this situation.
"Hahaha..." Mick Watts and his entourage burst into laughter.
"You're quite humorous." The shaved head man remarked while laughing. "Do you know what's the identity of the Watts family in Shenford? If you don't, I suggest you learn before you say such things to Master Mick."
"I don't need to know. If you continue this way, it's your own decision."
With that said, Harleen took Ava's hand, saying, "Let's go."
"I've said it before, you won't be able to go anywhere without my consent!" Mick Watts took a step forward and continued, "My patience has limits. I suggest you don't force me to use force."
"Move aside!" Harleen walked to the side.
"It seems like you won't take the polite way." Mick Watts's patience seemed to have run out. He turned to the crew-cut man with a serious tone, "Since Ms Knight is so uncooperative, help her out, gentlemen."
"Alright!" The crew-cut man couldn't wait any longer. He loudly responded and quickly walked up to Harleen, reaching out to grab her.
