Chapter 283 An Offer of Help

"Ms Salvage, you are Harleen's friend, which means you are my friend too. No need to be so polite." Billy smiled again and changed the topic. "As for Orson's situation, you shouldn't worry too much."

Although Billy didn't know how Orson Baker was doing at the moment, he could tell from Douglas Watts's words earlier that Orson probably hadn't encountered major trouble yet; otherwise, Douglas wouldn't have reacted that way.

"Thank you, Mr Gardner!" Simona Salvage bowed slightly, but her worried expression remained.

"Simona, don't worry. Trust Billy." Harleen finally calmed down. Since she had seen Billy again a few months ago, her heart had been repeatedly shaken, and she was genuinely worried that she might explode from the excitement one day.

"How many secrets is Billy hiding? This can't go on. I must use a "gentle bomb" on him someday to reveal all his secrets!" Harleen thought.

"Thank you, Harleen!" Simona Salvage replied to Harleen. She had a hunch that Harleen probably didn't know her husband's true identity, considering her earlier reaction.

"No problem, Simona." Harleen Knight said with a smile. "Could you please check if our order is ready?"

Simona Salvage then hurriedly replied, "It should be ready. Let me go check."

About an hour later, Billy and his party finished their meal and were preparing to return to the hotel when a call came in from Azure Fang.

"Wife, you and Ava can head back to the hotel and rest. Stout and I will go see Azure Fang for a bit." Billy told Harleen after hanging up the call.

"Alright!" Harleen nodded and added with a hint of concern, "Please be careful!"

She knew that Billy was going to deal with Orson Baker's situation.

"Don't worry about me. Everything will be fine." Billy reassured her with a reassuring look and then led Stout toward the door.

"Mr Gardner, can I go with you?" Just as Billy and Stout reached the door, Simona Salvage caught up with them and asked in a pleading tone.

"It's still unclear about the strength of the other party. It might be dangerous for you to come along." Billy responded.

"I'm not afraid. I just want to see Orson Baker as soon as possible." Simona said with a worried expression.

"Alright then, come with us." Billy nodded.

"Thank you, Mr Gardner!" Simona bowed in gratitude.

The SHADOW base in Shenford was about a twenty-minute drive from the restaurant. When they arrived, Azure Fang greeted them promptly. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"Boss!" Upon arriving, Azure Fang greeted Billy first and then turned to address Simona.

"Ms Salvage is worried about Orson Baker's safety, so she's coming with us to check on him." Billy explained to Azure Fang. "Do you have any updates on the situation?"

"The Watts family is truly despicable!" Azure Fang took a deep breath and began to explain to the group. "In the past year, they had been originally one of the four major families in Shenford, and they have transformed into the most prominent powerhouse in the city. They achieved this by having remnants of Yin Void Sect help them eliminate their rivals."

"In return, the Watts family provided substantial funding to the remnants of Yin Void Sect and even sent them female disciples on occasion."

"Many unsuspecting women were either coerced or brainwashed by them and sent to their sect."

"They are truly despicable!" Simona exclaimed in anger. "So, they have been responsible for the deaths of key members of the other families in Shenford over the past year."

"The Watts family is playing with fire!" Stout furrowed his brow.

"About a month ago, Orson Baker received a request for help from SHADOW in Shenford to investigate this matter. At that time, we didn't know it was the remnants of Yin Void Sect causing trouble, so I didn't pay much attention to it. It seems that he has gathered some specific clues recently, which is why the other side decided to take action against him." Said Azure Fang.

"I see," Billy nodded. "Where is Orson Baker now?"

"Douglas Watts doesn't know for sure, but he's probably been taken back to the enemy's base."

"Alright, let's go. We need to pay a visit to these remnants of Yin Void Sect. In addition, inform our men to surround the Watts family. No one is to enter or leave without my orders."

"Yes, Commander!" Azure Fang nodded firmly.

According to Douglas Watts's description, the base of the remnants of Yin Void Sect was located in the mountains on the outskirts of Shenford. However, the exact location was unknown.

At 8 PM, Billy, accompanied by a thousand SHADOW guards, arrived at the foot of the mountain. As far as the eye could see, there was a small village with only a few dozen households.

"I'll go in with Ms Salvage to check. You two stay here with the team." Billy instructed Azure Fang and Stout after some thought.

"Yes, commander!" the two men replied.

Billy and Simona then proceeded to the village. Along the way, Billy gave Simona some instructions. Soon, they reached the village entrance, where several men in simple attire were playing cards under a streetlight, surrounded by a small crowd of onlookers.

"Who are you? Is there something you need?" The men all looked over when they saw Billy and Simona approaching, wearing expressions of surprise.

Very few strangers came to this village, especially at this hour, which was far from normal.

"We're sorry to disturb you. We were on a self-driving tour nearby, and our car broke down up ahead. We're waiting for a mechanic to arrive." Simona explained, pausing briefly before continuing. "Our car broke down, and when we saw the lights here, we thought we could ask for some water."

"You self-driving tourists are really brave, driving this late at night. Aren't you afraid of something happening?" one of the middle-aged men, around fifty years old, spoke up.

"Not at all. We heard that some young people had their money stolen by robbers after their car broke down around here not long ago." While speaking, he stood up and walked towards the nearby cottage. "Come inside, I have some water in my place." He offered.

"Thank you, sir!" Simona exchanged a glance with Billy before following him.

"This is tea we've grown ourselves. The flavor is decent, give it a try." The man said as he prepared two cups of tea and handed them over.

"Thank you." Billy took a sip of the tea. "Good flavor, excellent quality."

After putting down his cup, Billy turned to Simona and said, "It's a bit hot, you can wait a bit before drinking."

"Okay." Simona nodded.

The middle-aged man, who had been observing, subtly brightened at the sight of Billy drinking the tea. He said, "The repair company people shouldn't arrive so soon. Take your time, there's no rush!"

"Before today, you've used this method to harm many people, right?" Billy suddenly asked, breaking the conversation.
