Chapter 156 The Appearance of the Worms
"Before this, your son must have done a lot of similar things, right?" Billy glanced at Wilfrid Kelley before turning to Judge. "Check and see if there's any 'glorious' history of him!"
"Got it!" Judge nodded and pulled out his SHADOW phone to check the data.
Upon hearing their conversation, Wilfrid Kelley furrowed his brows again. The carefree attitude of Billy and the others made him feel uneasy.
They thought the word 'SHADOW' was enough to scare most people off. But not only did they have no qualms about it, they even invited him to call assistance.
Wilfrid started to suspect that there was something big going on.
"How is it?" Billy asked Judge a few minutes later.
"He has a bad track record!" Judge responded. "In the past three years, he has committed ten crimes in total, with two of them resulting in deaths."
"The first one was racing on the highway with someone else and causing a private car to fly off the road resulting in one death and one injury."
"The second one was bullying a female college student at a bar who then committed suicide."
"After each incident, someone would come forward to speak for him and then pay money to settle everything!"
"Hmm?" Wilfrid Kelley's unease grew stronger.
The fact that all this information could be easily retrieved from just casually playing around with that phone made him somewhat worried.
'Who exactly are these people?' Wilfrid thought to himself.
"Very good!" Billy spoke up in a low voice. "Enough reason for us to take action!"
"You're good at pretending! Who do you think you are? A king?" Upon hearing Billy's words, Russ Kelley shouted loudly.
The next second, he was sent flying again, the sound of breaking ribs echoing as he tumbled. A torrent of fresh blood gushed from his mouth.
"Russ!" Wilfrid Kelley ran over again and asked, "Russ, how are you? Are you okay?"
"If you can't keep that trap of yours shut, you won't have to wait for your uncle to show up, I'll cut you down first!" Judge cast a glance at him.
"You..." Russ Kelley's mouth hung open, a rush of fresh blood spilling out.
"Damn you all to hell! How dare you harm my son, today you're gonna pay a heavy price!" Wilfrid Kelley's face twisted with rage.
"Alright, stop talking and wait for the person you called!" Billy said calmly before walking over to sit under a nearby umbrella.
Judge and Casey stood on his left and right side respectively.
"Call everyone above deputy group leader here!" Billy pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and looked at Judge.
"... OK!" Judge was slightly stunned before taking out his phone to make a call.
In less than twenty minutes, there was a sudden rush of footsteps at the entrance of the courtyard. Soon after, a man who was not yet forty years old walked in with an unpleasant expression on his face. It was Zach Covington, followed by four SHADOW boys.
"Wilfrid, who dares to cause you trouble?" Zach Covington walked into the courtyard and ignored the three people under the umbrella directly.
"Uncle Zach, what took you so long? I was damn close to getting my ass kicked to death!" Russ Kelley's voice rang out, full of desperation.
Zach Covington frowned when he saw Russ Kelley's miserable state. "Who the hell are they?"
"It's them!" Russ Kelley pointed at Billy and his two companions.
Zach Covington followed his gesture and looked over. As soon as he recognized the three people, Zach knelt down directly, trembling uncontrollably with horror on his face. The four people behind him also had a look of extreme fear and didn't have time to think much before they all knelt down with a thud. They never thought that Commander Gardner would appear here. They were all clear about Billy's character, and there was absolutely no tolerance for anyone who used the SHADOW name to bully others. Before this, a lot of people had already been punished for it.
"Uncle Zach, what's wrong with you?" Russ Kelley exclaimed in surprise.
"Zach, who... who is he?" Wilfrid Kelley's body couldn't help but tremble.
"Commander..." Zach Covington was sweating profusely and too scared to pay attention to the father-son duo as he looked at Billy with a trembling voice. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
As they heard his title, both Wilfrid Kelley and his son collapsed with fear on their faces.
"Is he really the King of the West, the master of SHADOW?!" Both of them finally understood what was going on.
"What is SHADOW's purpose?" Billy asked Zach Covington calmly.
"Commander, I'm sorry, I..." Zach bowed deeply.
"I'm asking you what SHADOW's purpose is," Billy said with a flat tone and expressionless face.
"To... to eliminate evil and promote good..." Zach Covington stuttered in response.
"Can you explain to me what these words mean?" Billy took a drag from his cigarette and asked again.
"Commander Gardner, I'm sorry, please give me another chance. I won't do it again..." Zach Covington bowed once more.
"You must have been the one who took care of Russ Kelley's situation. He did so many things that should have gotten him killed but he still came out unscathed. It must have been because of you." Billy continued to question him.
"I'm sorry, Commander... I won't do it again..." Zach Covington trembled uncontrollably as he begged for mercy.
"The four of you must have done similar things as well!" Billy turned to the other four people and asked them too.
"Please spare us, Commander... we won't do it again." All four people begged for forgiveness while bowing their heads down low in unison.
"Well done everyone!" Billy laughed coldly
Suddenly there was a loud knock at the door. Soon after, a group of 30 people or so appeared hurriedly at the entrance of the courtyard. These people were the core members of SHADOW in Ozin, ranging from inspectors to deputy group leaders, totaling 28 people.
After entering the courtyard, the group immediately saw five people kneeling on the ground and Billy's group.
"Commander Gardner, Judge!" They quickly came to Billy's side and knelt down on one knee, calling out in unison.
"Judge, introduce the matter to them." Billy said lightly.
"Yes!" Judge nodded vigorously and turned to describe it to the group of people.
Everyone realized at the same time that Billy was going to make an example of someone here.
"Zach Covington, you are damn it!" Inspector Alban Carroll, the first lead role of SHADOW in Ozin, shouted angrily at Zach Covington.
"Mr Atkinson, please save me, help me plead with the Commander for mercy..." Zach Covington was still trembling all over. After scanning the crowd, he looked at his immediate superior and shouted in a trembling voice.
"Zach, you son of a bitch! After pulling off this messed-up stunt, you've got the nerve to ask me to plead for you? I'll take you down!"
The man named Cole Atkinson's eyes flashed with a hint of panic. As he completed the sentence, he unsheathed his curved blade, and with a glint of light flashing, the blade sliced through the air.
