Chapter 291 A Journey to the Capital
The news of the Watts family's overnight downfall spread throughout Shenford, and countless people rejoiced. Shenford had finally rid itself of this malignant tumor.
In the following two days, the Salvage family took over several key businesses of the Watts family. During this time, the head of the Salvage family personally led the core members to visit Billy and expressed their heartfelt gratitude. Undoubtedly, the biggest beneficiary of this incident was the Salvage family, as they transformed into the number one powerhouse in Shenford overnight.
For the next two days, Billy didn't do anything else; he dedicated his time to accompany Harleen to and from work.
On the morning of the third day, Harleen Knight, on behalf of the SunPark Group, officially signed a cooperation agreement with the Salvage Group, and the project was officially underway.
"Dear, congratulations!" Billy looked at Harleenwith a smile when they returned to the hotel room.
"This is all thanks to your efforts, my love!" Harleen looked deeply into Billy's eyes. "Thank you, Billy!"
With this project secured, the burden on her shoulders had finally eased. With the support of this major project, her reputation within the company would rise invisibly.
"I just did what was necessary," Billy said, smiling as he pulled her into his arms and kissed her gently on her forehead. "What are your plans now?"
"For this project, Simona will handle everything on behalf of the Salvage family. Since she wasn't involved in the initial stages, I might have to stay here for a few more days before returning,"
Harleen replied.
She looked up at Billy and continued, "Don't worry about me. If you have other matters to attend to, go ahead. I'll be fine."
"Okay," Billy nodded. "I do have some things to take care of in the capital."
"The capital?" Harleen was momentarily surprised and somewhat concerned. "Is it something very important? Could it be dangerous?"
"It's not a big deal, and there won't be any danger."
"I don't believe you!" Harleen pouted. "You're just saying that to keep me from worrying. I have a feeling that whenever you say it's not a big deal, it's actually quite significant!"
"I promise it's a minor matter. You have nothing to worry about."
"Whether it's a big or small matter, please stay safe."
"I will." Billy said before giving Harleen a kiss.
"Don't overexert yourself, and after you're done, come back home. Both of us won't be there, Tasha will miss us."
"Okay." Harleen nodded.
After having lunch, Billy, accompanied by Stout and Azure Fang, boarded a plane bound for the capital.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them walked out of the airport.
"Boss!" Just as they reached the exit, a group of four people approached, consisting of Night Orchid, Frostblade, Judge, and Soul Chaser.
With Azure Fang by Billy's side, the "Five Sharp Blades" of SHADOW were all present.
"How did you guys get here?" Billy asked with a slight surprise, then turned to Stout. "Did you inform them?"
In fact, he had an answer - he knew it was Stout's doing. Only Stout and Azure Fang knew about his trip to the capital, and given Azure Fang's personality, he wouldn't go against Billy's orders, so it had to be Stout.
"Boss, don't blame me for this!" Stout shook his head vigorously, like a rattle. "The day before yesterday, I was bored and called Judge to chat. He asked me how things were going in Shenford, and I said everything was resolved." NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
"Then, he asked when you would return to Ozin, so I mentioned that you were coming to the capital. I didn't say anything else!"
"This chubby guy is too unreliable!" Judge thought.
"Why didn't I know you were so close to Judge that you'd call him to chat after not seeing him for three days?" Billy glanced at Judge before turning back to Stout.
"I did it because I was afraid he'd worry about your safety, boss, so I called him to reassure him!" Stout said.
"If there's a next time, you'll have to stay in the mountains for seclusion!" Billy glared at him.
"Ha? Please don't!" As soon as Stout heard the mention of going back to the mountains, he immediately wilted. "Boss, I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again!"
After saying that, he turned to Judge. "Judge, say you're sorry! Or else you might get me killed."
"Boss, you should praise me," Judge said without addressing Stout's words directly. He looked at Billy with an expression of seeking approval. "Yesterday, Casey called me and asked if you were in Ozin. I resisted the urge to tell him your whereabouts for a long time! Otherwise, today there would have been not just the four of us but eight of us!"
If Judge had indeed told Casey, Azure Dragon, and the others, it would have been quite a commotion. The gathering of the Army of Bloodshadow and SHADOW's core members in the capital would undoubtedly unsettle many people.
"What do you want me to praise you for?" Billy smirked as he looked at Judge.
"Boss, shall we go?" Judge changed the topic.
Night Orchid couldn't help but chuckle; when it came to Stout and Judge, there was getting to be a little too much plot.
"Boss, since we're already here, just let us go with you." Frostblade spoke up.
"Alright," Billy nodded slightly. "Since you're here, let's go together!"
He understood the sentiment of his brothers and sisters. It was easier to avoid open conflict, and everyone was concerned that something unexpected might happen, especially when dealing with a top-tier clan like the Frazier Clan.
"Boss, all 5, 000 men from SHADOW in the capital have been assembled and are ready to move at any time." Night Orchid said, taking out her phone to check for messages.
"Don't make trouble," Billy replied. "This time, it's a personal matter. Except for you few, no one else is allowed to leave the base without my orders."
"Yes, Commander!" Night Orchid responded loudly after a brief pause.
"Boss, should we head directly to the Frazier Clan's gate?" Soul Chaser asked Billy.
"Yes, let's go directly. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can disperse." Billy agreed with a nod.
"Yes, Commander!" they all echoed.
Two minutes later, a business car slowly pulled out of the airport and headed towards the location of the Frazier family's gate.
"Boss, I've got some information on the matter you asked me to investigate." Night Orchid spoke up in the car. "Five years ago, the Frazier family had an internal upheaval. Their clan leader, Josh Frazier, was stripped of his position and replaced by his younger brother, Iain Frazier."
"Josh Frazier and the people from his faction were all exiled and removed from the clan's inner circle. Many of them have since met with unfortunate fates. As for Josh Frazier and his daughter, Violet Frazier, they were placed under house arrest. Since no one has seen them since, we don't know their current situation."
"Five years ago?" Billy's eyes narrowed.
Five years ago was exactly when his foster family had been killed!
