"Ms Salvage, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's best if you don't get involved!" Douglas Watts responded coldly and then pointed at Billy and the others. "Just hand them over to us!"
"Mr Watts, you must be kidding." Simona Salvage continued speaking. "All the people dining here today are friends of mine. How can it not concern me? If customers can't even have basic security when they come to my restaurant, who would dare to come in the future?"
"Simona Salvage, don't push your luck!" Mick Watts pointed at her and shouted loudly. "If you keep meddling, do you believe I'll have my men smash your restaurant right now?"
"Master Mick, that's quite a big mouth you have there!" Simona Salvage smirked. "You can give it a try!"
"What a bitch!" Mick Watts thundered and signaled to his people. "Go! Smash everything here!"
"Stop!" Douglas spoke up.
"Uncle, she..." Mick wanted to insist.
"I'll handle it!" Douglas Watts furrowed his brow slightly and looked at Simona Salvage. "Do you want to protect them?"
"Harleen is my friend. If Mr Watts can show some leniency, I'll definitely visit you to express my gratitude another day." Simona Salvage replied.
"What if I don't give you that leniency?" Douglas Watts responded coldly.
"Then it depends on your abilities to take them away from me." Simona Salvage said with a furrowed brow.
"Heh, quite the attitude you have!" Douglas Watts sneered. "Do you think you being the Salvage family's young miss makes me wary of you? You're too naive. In the eyes of the Watts, you are nothing."
"By the way, do you think that by making it onto Orson Baker's list, the Salvage family has climbed onto a big tree?"
"Hmm?" Billy's ears perked up when he heard Orson Baker's name.
"Unfortunately, your beloved may not have a bright future ahead of him!" Douglas Watts continued to sneer.
"What do you mean?" Simona Salvage furrowed her brow.
"You want to know? Why don't you try calling him yourself?"
"Webster!" Simona Salvage turned to the elderly man beside her.
The elderly man nodded and dialed a number on his phone. However, they made five or six consecutive calls, and none of them were answered.
"Miss, the calls can't get through," the elderly man reported to Simona Salvage.
Simona Salvage looked grim, and she turned to Douglas Watts. "What have you done to him?!"
"Ms Salvage, that's an overstatement. How could I dare to do anything to a high-ranking SHADOW member like him?" Douglas Watts sneered again. "However, whether you can see him tomorrow or not, I cannot say."
Stout's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this. He turned to look at Billy. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Why does this involve a member of SHADOW?" they thought.
"You scoundrel!" Simona Salvage shouted angrily. "Are you even concerned about these four people now?"
"Ms Salvage, who is Orson Baker to you?" asked Billy.
"Do you know him, Mr Gardner?" Simona paused before continuing, "He's my fiance."
"Oh?" Billy didn't expected that there was such an coincidence.
Orson Baker, an inspector of SHADOW in Shenford. Billy knew his soldiers. After a brief pause, Billy continued, "What happened to him?"
"I don't know either." Simona Salvage's face showed a hint of worry. "He only told me that he's been investigating a case recently, but due to confidentiality, he didn't tell me the specifics."
"Hmm," Billy nodded slightly.
In SHADOW, when investigating a case, until it's concluded, no one is allowed to disclose any information to the outside world, including family members. This was one of SHADOW's strictest rules.
"Is this case related to the Watts family?" Billy then looked towards Douglas Watts.
"You brat, who do you think you are? Daring to speak to Mr Watts like this!" A man with a scar on his face stepped forward and pointed at Billy. "Get out of h...!"
Bang!
Before the man could finish his sentence, a powerful gust of wind swept through, sending him flying. He crashed into a table, his head hitting it hard, causing a large gash on his forehead, and blood began pouring out.
"Ah..." The scar-faced man screamed in pain.
"Hmm!?" Douglas Watts furrowed his brow. "Kid, do you want to die?"
"I'll ask again. Is Orson Baker's situation related to the Watts family?" Billy spoke up again.
"If you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!" Douglas Watts shouted angrily. "Attack! Cripple the two men and take the woman away!"
As he gave the order, more than a hundred men raised their knives and sticks, preparing to attack.
"Douglas Watts, you dare!" Simona Salvage exclaimed. "Stop them!"
The elderly man responded and led a group of people to charge forward. Just at that moment, a series of icy glows struck from the entrance of the hall, cutting through the air like a blade. The more than twenty people near the entrance had yet to react to what was happening when they all fell to the ground, blood gushing from their bodies. They lay there, writhing in pain.
The sudden turn of events left both sides momentarily stunned, and they stopped their actions, turning their heads to look at the entrance.
A tall figure led a group of dozens of men dressed in black, striding confidently toward them. It was none other than Azure Fang, leading his SHADOW operatives. Billy had sent a message to him before leaving Ozin, asking him to come to Shenford. However, Azure Fang had been chasing a fugitive in another city in the Central Region and was delayed, which was why he arrived slightly later than expected.
Upon reaching the entrance of the restaurant and seeing that the Watts family's people dared to surround Billy, Azure Fang's heart passed judgment on Douglas Watts immediately.
Recognizing that it was SHADOW, Douglas Watts furrowed his brow and asked, "Which one of SHADOW are you?"
Azure Fang completely ignored him and walked straight toward Billy.
"Scoundrel!" Douglas Watts spoke angrily. "You think SHADOW is invincible, do you? You dare to harm members of my family without reason. Today, you'd better give me an explanation!"
To him, although he had a slight fear of SHADOW in Shenford, he didn't want to openly clash with SHADOW members. However, his family wasn't to be underestimated, especially on home turf. In a face-off between the two, he wasn't necessarily afraid of SHADOW.
"Lord Azure Fang!" At that moment, Simona Salvage seemed to recognize him and approached him with a slightly surprised expression. "Why are you here, sir?"
She had met Azure Fang once when she accompanied Orson Baker to Celestiford, and she knew that he was a high-ranking figure in SHADOW, one of the "Five Sharp Blades".
Moreover, she had heard that Azure Fang's personal strength might have already broken through to the Warlord realm. Such a prominent figure, even in the entire Central Region, there weren't many who could match him.
"Hello!" Azure Fang nodded slightly. He didn't pause in his steps or words as he continued walking toward Billy's group.
"What!?" Upon hearing Simona Salvage's words, Douglas Watts exclaimed in shock. "You... You're one of SHADOW's 'Five Sharp Blades', Azure Fang?"
