Chapter 140 The Big Case Three Years Ago

"Do you know who was talking big now?" Harper Rodriguez glanced at the two of them. "Too late! You can go talk to the police yourselves!"

After speaking, she took Harleen's hand and walked towards her office.

"Ms Knight, come with me to my office." Said she.

Behind them came the sound of Gerald Patton and Isabella Martinez collapsing to the ground. Both of them had pale faces and were trembling all over. Especially Gerald Patton, he had not only got involved in economic issues but also forced himself on female colleagues. He probably wouldn't be able to get out of this mess for the rest of his life.

It was 7 PM that evening when Harleen returned home from work and told Billy about what happened at the company today.

Then she looked at Billy and asked, "Honey, why did Ms Rodriguez suddenly become so enthusiastic towards me?"

"Well, that's easy to understand," Billy smiled. "From your description, she must have wanted to deal with that guy named Gerald Patton for a long time but just didn't find the right opportunity. And your performance today gave her a good chance, so naturally she wants to thank you. And now you're on her side, she's just using this as an opportunity to build her network."

"But why isn't she afraid of Gerald Patton anymore?" asked Harleen.

"She couldn't have become the general manager without any background, maybe she just hadn't found a breakthrough before." Billy laughed again.

"That's it." Harleen nodded slightly, "Your explanation seems to make a little bit of sense."

"Shouldn't it make perfect sense?" Billy chuckled.

Derek had already called Billy earlier today and briefed him on the situation. Billy had never expected that his wife would end up working for a subsidiary company of World Group. But it was still good news, at least he didn't have to worry about Harleen being bullied at work in the future.

"That's just speculation, we need time to verify it!" Harleen playfully made a face, "And I can't let you get too proud either."

"Okay, okay." Billy shrugged with a smile.

...

On the next morning, Billy was playing with toys with Tasha at home when Judge's call came in.

"What's up?" asked Billy.

"Boss, we found the whereabouts of the S-class wanted criminal that Song Toye mentioned." Judge responded.

"Oh? Do you know who this person is?"

"It hasn't been confirmed yet but based on Song Toye's description of their appearance, there is a high possibility that they are related to a major case from three years ago!" Judge's tone was somewhat serious.

"What major case?" Billy was slightly taken aback.

"Are you free today? Shall we go check it out? I'll give you more details when we meet later." Judge asked.

"Alright." Billy nodded in response.

Half an hour later, Judge and Casey drove up to the villa.

"Boss, this is a portrait sketched according to Song Toye's description." After Billy got into the car, Judge handed him a portrait.

"Is there anything special about it?" Billy asked after taking a look at it.

"Take a closer look at his right earlobe." Judge responded. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Hmm!?" Billy seemed to realize something. After pausing for a moment, he spoke, "Do you suspect that he is Ebony Lord?"

As the master of SHADOWS, Billy knew everything about all the wanted criminals of SHADOW above S-class, including some of their features. Therefore, as he saw that small crescent-shaped birthmark on the right earlobe in the portrait image, a S-class wanted criminals' appearance floating in his mind. Although the person in the portrait looked completely different from the one in his mind, they were possibly the same person since there were not many people with that crescent-shaped birthmark on their right earlobe.

"Uh-huh," Judge nodded heavily and continued, "I suspect that he has undergone plastic surgery. According to Song Toye's description, his age and height are similar to Ebony Lord!"

"Really?" Billy narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Boss, who is Ebony Lord?" asked Casey.

"Ebony Lord's real name is Spike Arnold. He was nicknamed Ebony Lord because of the birthmark on his right earlobe."

"He was one of the original 'Five Sharp Blades' of SHADOW, the top leader in the East District, which is where I am now. There was a saying in the underworld at that time, 'It's better to provoke the Death Lord than Ebony Lord!'" Billy explained.

"Oh?" Casey looked slightly surprised. "If he's such a prominent figure, why did he become a S wanted criminal of SHADOW?"

"That has to do with a major case three years ago." Judge said gravely.

"What case?" Casey became interested.

"Three years ago, an SSS-level wanted criminal recorded by SHADOW appeared in the north. The master of SHADOW at that time led all Five Sharp Blades and rushed over. SSS-level wanted criminals are the highest level criminals in SHADOW and each one carries out super big cases. So as long as their traces are found, SHADOW will try everything to capture them."

"They chased after him for a day and night until they were led into an original forest in the northern district."

"And then?" Casey nodded slightly and continued asking.

"And then there was no more news." Judge responded solemnly.

"What does that mean?" Casey was slightly stunned.

"Except for Ebony Lord, all other members of SHADOW perished inside that forest." Judge took a deep breath before continuing, "Ebony Lord only appeared once after one month but it was just once. Since then, there has been no trace of him whatsoever."

Immense Surprise flashed across Casey's face as he asked again, "What? Could they have all been killed by that SSS-level wanted criminal?"

"That was impossible!" Judge shook his head.

"The opponent was indeed strong, with the cultivation of a True Master Battle God, but at that time, the master of SHADOW had already reached the strength of a Warlord, at novice level though."

"Moreover, Ebony Lord was halfway through the cultivation from a Warlord to the next level at that time. And the other four Sharp Blades, they were all Battle Gods at gandmaster level. The opponent couldn't have killed them."

"So you mean there were people lurking in that primitive forest?" Casey asked again.

"No doubt about it!" Judge nodded and said, "And the appearance of that SSS-level criminal was also intentional and aimed to lure them over!"

"Who would dare to attack SHADOW?" Casey frowned slightly.

"God knows!" Judge shrugged his shoulders.

"Why was Ebony Lord later listed as a wanted criminal?" Casey paused briefly before continuing to ask.

"After the master of SHADOW was killed, someone from the capital city temporarily took charge of SHADOW." Judge did not directly answer his question.

"Who was it?" Casey asked.
