Chapter 391 Someone is Setting a Trap

"Wife, this is a gift from Mr Hines!" Billy kissed Harleen's forehead.

"He called me more than ten times for this matter. If I refuse again, he will think that I am deliberately keeping my distance from him, which is not appropriate. How about you accept it on behalf of me? Due to my special identity, I cannot hold shares in the company under my name. Can you help me hold them?"

"Humph! Don't try to treat me like a child!" Harleen rolled her eyes at him. "I know you too well. You are just trying to make it seem like it has nothing to do with you after I accept it!"

"Um..." Billy twitched his mouth. "Do I look like that kind of person?"

"You don't just look like one, you are one!" Harleen pouted.

"Well then, let's settle this matter." Billy smiled again. "Mr Hines will send the relevant documents in a few days and you can handle the procedures."

"But we can't..." Harleen spoke up again.

"Trust me wife, this is good for both Mr Hines and for us." Billy interrupted her with a smile. "Okay then, let's go watch Tasha set off fireworks!"

"Husband... thank you," Harleen looked at Billy affectionately with tears in her eyes. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

How could she not know that this was a gift specially given by her husband? He was making up for his guilt towards her over these past five years. Otherwise, with his personality he would never have

accepted such an expensive gift from Derek Hines; otherwise he would have taken over the entire World Group long ago.

"Harleen, Today is New Year's Eve, on such an important day please don't cry." Said Billy as he kissed her forehead once more.

"Otherwise if mom and dad find out they might think that I'm bullying their daughter!"

After speaking they walked towards Stout together holding hands

For the next two or three days, Billy stayed home accompanying his family. All year round there were very few opportunities where he could enjoy family time so naturally he cherished every moment of it. On the second day of Chinese New Year, Azure Dragon made a special trip to Ozin before he returned to the southern territory from the capital city while bringing Black Tortoise along as well.

The two carried large bags of gifts when they came over Fletcher Knight's house

Billy talked with them for almost two hours. The situation in the southern region was even more complicated than that of the eastern border. Billy was slightly uneasy and thus he gave many special instructions to his subordinates. In terms of manpower, aside from the four vice generals in Azure Dragon's command, Billy had transferred 200, 000 Bloodshadow guards from the western border to the southern region and also sent Groups Eight and Nine of Bloodshadow Forbidden Guard there.

On New Year's Day, Derek Hines came all the way from Enssea to Ozin with a purpose. On one hand it was for New Year greetings, on the other hand he brought relevant information about Sunpark Group. Since New Year's Eve when Billy finished talking with Harleen about it, Harleen didn't bring it up again. She took it as her husband's goodwill gesture.

Time passed quickly and before they knew it, it was already sixth day of Chinese New Year.

That morning while Billy and Harleen were playing with Tasha at a playground in their community park Judge and Stout walked over.

"Boss! Ms Knight!" The two greeted them as they approached.

"Hello Uncle Judge! Hello Uncle Stout!" Tasha shouted loudly towards them.

"Tasha is so good! So well-behaved!" Judge patted her head gently.

"What brings you here?" Billy asked curiously

Judge nodded his head "It's about what Colin Stuart said."

"I'll take Tasha to play on that slide." After saying this Harleen took Tasha by her small hand towards another area of playground equipment

"What happened? Tell me." Billy turned back towards Judge after seeing Harleen leave with Tasha.

"Before New Year, according to your orders, I sent my brothers there near those mountains to keep an eye out for any activity. There wasn't much movement for three days but recently more people have started showing up. A lot of people are going into those mountains searching upwards starting from its base. After a few days they're almost at its peak now. It looks like they're really looking for some kind of inheritance ground."

"How many people are we talking about?" Billy nodded slightly listening intently.

"There are quite a number, around four or five thousand. And among them there are Battle Gods not excluding War Emperors."

"Do we know which sects these people belong too?" Billy continued asking questions

"There are around ten sects or clans involved but we couldn't identify all yet, however most likely these groups belong within several top tier factions. In addition to Stuart clan, there's also the Morse family Clan , Purple Light Sect , Flame Sect and Spirit Wing Pavilion." Judge replied.

"Hmm?!" Billy's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard those names.

"Boss, I have a suspicion now!" Judge didn't notice Billy's expression and continued speaking after pausing for a moment. "This news is very likely to be fake news deliberately created by someone with the purpose of bringing these sects together!"

"What purpose?" Billy asked.

"I just have this suspicion, but I haven't figured out their purpose yet," Judge added after thinking for a moment. "And if my suspicion is correct, there may be action in the next two days. Because in the past few days, people from various sects were scattered. But today and tomorrow they will all gather at the top of the mountain..."

"Have you noticed anything common among these families and sects you just mentioned?" Billy interrupted him with a slight upward curve of his mouth.

"What do you mean?" Judge paused slightly.

"The top tier families and sects in ancient martial arts world are not only them. Why did only they receive this message?" Billy continued to say,

"Yes! I was wondering about this too!" Stout on one side spoke up,

"It seems that they were specifically selected. I called Secret Essences back, they didn't receive this message."

"Boss, do you have any guesses?" Judge nodded slightly.

"The Morse family should be behind the Holmes clan." Billy replied,

"Hmm?!" Hearing what Billy said, Judge and Stout seemed to react after being stunned for a moment.

"Boss, are you saying that they selected several families and sects who had conflicts with you?" Judge spoke up again.

"Yes!"Billy nodded,

"Purple Light Sect is backed by the Leonard clan, the Frazier family has the Stuarts as its support, while the two Elders from Flame Sect and Spirit Wing Pavilion were both killed by me last year."

"After all that trouble it seems like it was aimed at boss." Stout asked somewhat surprised.
