Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“I don’t know specifically who they were. But I know that was a woman. Every time she met us, she wore a veil. She should be a beautiful woman, with every move and gesture capable of arousing the desire of most men.”

“That’s it? If this is all the information you have, it’s not enough to exchange for the lives of so many people in the Watkins family!”

“I… I haven’t finished speaking yet,” Osmond paused briefly before continuing, “By chance, I caught a glimpse of a tattoo on the back of her neck.”

“What pattern?”

“It is… a blood-red peony!”

“What is their goal?”

“She… She didn’t say anything, she just told us to go ahead and start, and she sent someone to help us. And she kept pressing that we should kill everyone in the Miles family, with no one spared. If it weren’t her, we… we wouldn’t have killed everyone, out targets were only the head of the Miles and the best man by his side. As long as the two of them were dead, the Miles family would no longer pose any threat to us, and we didn’t even consider anyone else important.”

Billy had a look of hate on his face. There were over a hundred people in the Miles family and they were all killed by that woman. What was her purpose?

“I… I only know this much. Please spare our off-springs…” Osmond trembled as he spoke.

“Before 8 AM tomorrow, bring all your direct blood relatives to kneel in front of the headstone of the head of the Miles family! And you three brothers will commit suicide and apologize at the headstone. The rest of the Watkins family will kneel there for three days and nights, and I’ll spare their lives! You can also choose to escape tonight, but if any single direct blood relative from the Watkins family doesn’t show up tomorrow morning, everyone else will die!”

“T-Thank you…” Osmond collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

“The rest is up to you! Tell everyone on site that today’s events are confidential. Don’t mention my identity, just say SHADOW is handling it. No idle questions allowed! Anyone who leaks information will be executed.” Billy then looked at Judge.

“Yes, sir!”

A few minutes later, Billy and Casey got into a car.

“Find out who that woman mentioned by Osmond is.” Said Billy.

“Okay.”

Meanwhile, the same scene was unfolding at two other major families in Ozin. The Malcom Family and Jimenez Family were both visited by another two groups of SHADOW men. Both families resisted fiercely at first. In front of hundreds of elite soldiers, their resistance seemed feeble. In less than three minutes, anyone with any fighting ability was either dead or severely injured. With this, the top three ranking families in Ozin became a story in history. However, people of these families never understood one thing until they died-they couldn’t figure out Billy Gardner’s relationship with the Miles family.

Well, they could only ask Harriet in hell now.

…

The next morning, news of the downfall of the top three families spread like a virus throughout Ozin. No one believed it when they first heard it, since these three families had existed in Ozin for over a century and had great influence both legally and illegally. Moreover, they possessed formidable combat power themselves.

They had no idea who could overthrow these top-tiered clans overnight in Ozin. Even Derek Hines, Chairman of World Group-currently considered as one of Ozin’s most influential figures-would find it difficult to accomplish such a feat. Shortly thereafter, someone posted real-time images from inside the estates of the three families on social media. When everyone saw that everything was in shambles, all doubts about this rumor vanished.

Next, everyone’s curiosity turned to the mysterious man who did this. So, everyone used their own channels to inquire about relevant information. Finally, the information gathered from all channels was surprisingly consistent-SHADOW was handling the case and idle people were not allowed to inquire. This matter had been classified as confidential and anyone attempting to pry into SHADOW’s secrets would be punished.

Therefore, most people put away their curiosity because SHADOW’s authority was not something ordinary people dare to challenge. Of course, there were still many people who privately inquired about it, especially those from other big families in Ozin.

Finally, they had come up with a speculation: five years ago, the three major families joined forces to wipe out the Miles family; someone from SHADOW came forward for revenge on behalf of the Miles family.

At 10 o’clock in the morning, Damon Andrews, the underground king in Ozin, was sitting in his office with a cigar in his hand. He was pondering over things about this event, which was enough to make him think deeply.

Soon after, Ezio Andrews walked quickly into the office.

“How’s it going? Any results?” Damon asked him.

“Master Eight, it has been confirmed that Mr Gardner is behind it.” Ezio replied in a serious tone.

“As expected. Only he has the power to remove these three families overnight!” After taking a puff of his cigar, he continued, “The three families, he didn’t even spare Harriet Howell, and the things related to the Dawson family… It can’t be a coincidence! Mr Gardner’s relationship with the Miles family is bound to be extraordinary.”

“Master Eight, I have looked through the information on the Miles family from back then.” Ezio paused for a moment before continuing to speak, “He looks very similar to the adopted son of the former head of the Miles family.”

“Oh? Really?”

“Yes!”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“In that case, there should be no doubt that Mr Gardner was probably saved by someone back then and now he has come back for revenge!” Damon blew out a string of smoke rings while wearing an expression as if lost in thought.

“What happened five years ago? Why was the Miles family targeted by the other three? I wasn’t in this position at that time, otherwise, I might have been able to learn some information.” He added.

“I heard it was because the Miles family had oppressed them too much and made them resentful.” said Ezio.

“It can’t be that simple!” Damon shook his head slightly and continued, “If it was just because of their power struggle, they wouldn’t have wiped out the Miles family!”
