Chapter 193 I'm Not Doing It!

An hour later, Billy and his crew returned to the SHADOW base.

"Boss, I have some news on that thing you had me investigate," Night Orchid said as they walked towards the conference room.

"It's related to one of the city's gatekeepers, just like you suspected."

"Are you sure?" Billy narrowed his eyes.

"Yes," Night Orchid nodded. "When we took down Ink Pavilion's external window last time, I interrogated their contact from the city. He told me that five years ago, someone contacted him about the matter related to the Miles family in Ozin. Back then, they introduced him to someone in the east district because of territorial jurisdiction issues."

"How did he know they were from an aristocratic family?" A cold glint flashed in Billy's eyes.

"Ink Pavilion is cautious when it comes to big deals and usually investigates their clients' identities. At that time, the other party offered more than a billion as reward so they were suspicious." Night Orchid paused before continuing. "Although they never revealed their true identity throughout their dealings with Ink Pavilion, Ink Pavilion eventually found some clues."

"The person who contacted them turned out to be under that aristocratic family's banner. After learning this information, Ink Pavilion no longer hesitated and transferred the deal to the east district." She added.

"As expected!" A chill ran through Billy's body.

"Do you want us to go visit that family now?" Night Orchid asked again.

"Not now," Billy shook his head slightly.

He came here this time for two reasons: first was resolving SHADOW's matter three years ago; second was using scare tactics against those with ulterior motives.

Today, they shouldn't make too much noise again while both objectives had been achieved. Besides, now that the identity of the other party had been confirmed, there was no need to rush at this moment.

Billy's phone rang. His eyes slightly brightened as soon as he saw the caller ID. Then he walked into a guest room alone.

"Donald, how's it going?" After answering the call, Billy respectfully greeted him.

The person on the other end of the phone was an elder he held in high regard, whether due to his standing or his contributions to this country.

"King of the West, to avoid suspicion, I won't meet with you this time." Donald's voice came through on the other end of the line. "How are you feeling? Has your anger subsided a bit?"

"Thank you for your concern, Donald." Billy responded.

"It was me who had Central Sky Office intervene." Donald continued speaking.

"Oh?" Billy was slightly surprised and felt relieved at heart.

Since it was Donald who intervened, it meant that the influence of those families hadn't become so rampant as to control Central Sky Office yet.

"The current situation in the capital is delicate. Minor issues aren't a problem but it isn't yet time for drastic measures. I hope you understand." Donald said further.

"I understand." Billy nodded his head in agreement.

"This time you made the Leonard family suffer a loss, they shouldn't let things go just like that. Other families may also feel threatened by your actions so be careful." Donald reminded him.

"It's just a jumping clown, nothing to fear!" Billy responded.

"Easy to dodge a spear in the open, hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Caution is key!" Donald paused briefly before changing the subject with a hesitant tone.

"Jake Hanson from is unlikely to return to his position in the east district. What do you think about that for the east region?"

"What do you want to say, Donald?" Billy narrowed his eyes slightly, guessing something was up.

"A few of us old guys talked about it and plan on having Casey take over his position. We wanted your opinion first." Donald continued speaking.

"I have no objections, but we should ask Casey what he thinks." Said Billy.

Things happened as he expected. Earlier when he heard Cole Wilson talking with Casey, he had already guessed roughly what was going on. In fact, he had thought about this himself before.

Casey being relegated as vice-commander by his side was a waste of talent. With Casey Kimmons's abilities in all aspects, he could easily take on the role of a leader of a whole region.

It was just that over these years, Casey had made up his mind to follow Billy and the latter couldn't kick him out either. But now that there was an opportunity available, naturally Billy hoped that Casey

could have a bigger platform for himself.

"He only listens to you, if you don't speak up then there's no way he'll agree!" Donald seemed very familiar with Casey.

"Well then I'll talk with him!" After some thought, Billy spoke again,

"Good!" Donald responded before changing topics once more, "We need to be more careful in Place of Darkness since Rakshasa will be staying there now. She alone may not be strong enough. This is an increasingly delicate international situation, with several major powers constantly pouring resources into the Place of Darkness, their intentions clear! Our strength in Glavale over there, apart from the original Rakshasa Hall, is too weak. If things start to get chaotic over there, we will be very passive. You need to be more careful!"

"Understood!" Billy nodded slightly. He had been thinking about this issue for some time now. Originally, he wanted to give Rakshasa a year to grow and develop on her own. But given the current situation, a year was too long - he couldn't wait and neither could Glavale!

"How are your injuries?" Donald continued to ask.

"It's nothing serious. It'll be fine in one or two months," Billy replied.

"That's good news! I spoke with the old man yesterday and he was asking about this matter." Donald said with a slight sigh of relief.

"Thanks for his concern." Billy said gratefully. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

After chatting for a while longer, they both hung up their phones.

At 8 PM, Billy headed back home along with Casey, Judge, Ebony Lord and Stout on a private plane of SHADOW, while Azure Fang, Frostblade and Soul Chaser each returned to their respective

positions. Billy had originally planned for Stout to return westward together with Soul Chaser but Stout refused no matter what. He insisted on going to Ozin with Billy, who couldn't refuse.

Before leaving, Billy asked Casey to contact Jake Hanson again. He wanted to check on his health, but found out that the imperial doctors of the capital had taken over, so he gave up.

"On the plane today, Donald called me," Billy said to Casey.

"He probably wants me to take over Jake Hanson's position," Casey replied calmly. He had heard from Cole Wilson's words what Donald was implying.

"Uh-huh," Billy nodded.

"Hey! Casey is getting promoted?" Judge and Stout exclaimed at the same time.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Casey glared at them both.

"What do you think?" Billy asked again.

"I'm not doing it!" Casey shook his head decisively.

Judge and Stout both choked at the same time. They couldn't understand why Casey refused, since it was such a good chance that someone was inviting him to be a lord of one region.
