Chapter 157 The Sickness Of SHADOW

Chapter 157 The Sickness of SHADOW

However, before the blade could reach Zach Covington, Cole Atkinson was sent flying on his own.

At least three or four ribs snapped, and he crumpled to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Cole Atkinson, in front of Commander, you cannot be reckless!" Alban Carroll, who took action, scolded in a deep voice, "Are you trying to kill someone and cover it up?"

"Alban, watch your mouth and don't insult people!" Cole Atkinson shouted loudly in response after getting up from the ground. "He deserved to be punished!"

"Cole Atkinson, you... you bastard. Not only did you stand by watching, but you also wanted to silence me with death. Even if it costs my life today, I'm dragging you down with me..." Zach Covington shouted loudly and then turned to Billy and spoke loudly.

"Commander, I know that I will undoubtedly die today, but Cole Atkinson deserves to die a thousand times more. He has abused his power for personal gain, filled his own pockets, colluded with outsiders and plotted against his colleagues!"

"I asked Cole to handle those matters for Russ and coordinate with various departments. Every time he did so, he would demand a hefty payment."

"He has done similar things many times! Many people in SHADOW have asked him to do things, especially some shady things, and he always charges a fee."

"Zach Covington, you damn it, don't falsely accuse me!" Cole Atkinson shouted loudly.

Zach Covington snorted coldly, "Whether or not I am framing you, you will soon find out. Do you think I have no evidence? Every time I give you money, there is a transfer record and even a recording. Is it false accusation? Everyone can understand it just by listening!"

While speaking, Zach took out his phone and played one of the recordings from it.

"Cole Atkinson, you bastard, do you have anything else to say now?" Alban Carroll shouted angrily after listening to the recording.

Cole Atkinson collapsed directly, his face turned pale and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"What do you mean by saying he colluded with outsiders and plotted against his colleagues?" Billy asked Zach Covington in a serious tone.

"There were two occasions when SHADOW was trying to capture a wanted criminal, but he sold the information to the other party beforehand," Zach Covington took a deep breath and continued, "One of them led to the escape of a wanted criminal, while the other resulted in an ambush that caused casualties among SHADOW colleagues."

Upon hearing this, an extremely cold anger spread from Billy.

'Can't believe there's such a rotten apple in the SHADOW team, they deserve to be punished severely!' the others thought.

"I'm gonna kill you!" Cole Atkinson shouted angrily and simultaneously exerted all his strength to slash out with a single blow to Zach.

"Get lost!" Alban Carroll wielded the curved blade in his hand and pulled out a cold light rushing over.

Cole Atkinson was only at the level of a Tier-two Battle General, while Alban Carroll had already been a Battle God. Accordingly, the two were not in the same league.

Alban Carroll's attack broke through Cole Atkinson's sword aura, and the momentum did not decrease. He directly flashed past him from his shoulder. The next moment, Cole Atkinson's arm was cleanly severed at the shoulder and fell to the ground, blood spraying wildly.

Actually, Alban Carroll had shown mercy to his subordinates, otherwise Cole Atkinson would have been dead long ago.

Commander Gardner did not give orders, so Alban Carroll had had no right to kill Cole Atkinson yet.

"Ah..." Cole Atkinson let out a cry of pain.

"You continue!" Billy ignored Cole Atkinson and spoke in a low voice, looking at Zach Covington.

"And... furthermore, three years ago, when he was the leader of the SHADOW case file group in Ozin, he received huge benefits from outsiders. He also arbitrarily modified many SHADOW wanted criminals' case files." Continued Zach Covington.

Billy and Judge exchanged a glance. Both of them simultaneously recalled the incident three years ago when the case file of the wanted SSS criminal was swapped.

"Take him back and interrogate thoroughly, correct all the case files that he has modified!" Billy instructed afterwards.

"Furthermore, gather up everyone in SHADOW who has any connection to him. Thoroughly investigate each one, and if any issues arise, cut them down!"

"Yes, Commander!" Alban Carroll replied. Immediately after, he walked quickly to Cole Atkinson's side and struck down with a palm strike.

"Alban..." Cole Atkinson opened his mouth to say a word, but his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

"Judge, order!" Billy then stood up.

"Please give orders, Commander!" Judge replied with a bow.

"Zach Covington and the five others, along with Russ Kelley, eliminate them!" Billy's voice grew heavy as he gave orders. "Bring Wilfrid Kelley back to SHADOW for investigation, if he deserves death, let him have it, if he belongs behind bars, lock him up!"

"Yes, Commander!" Judge nodded in response.

"No, please don't... I beg for your mercy, Commander..." both Wilfrid Kelley and his son cried out.

Meanwhile, Zach Covington and his four companions sat on the ground behind him with a look of despair on their faces, showing no emotion.

In the next moment, six cold rays flashed by and all six people fell down one after another.

"Russ..." Wilfrid Kelley cried out in pain as he collapsed to the ground with tears streaming down his face.

"Listen up everyone!" Billy then turned to the SHADOW members present. "You have one month to go back and self-examine your own teams. Any behavior that violates SHADOW's rules will be dealt with strictly. After a month, I will bring in SHADOW's enforcement hall. If there are still unresolved issues or individuals at that time, you'll have to answer for it yourselves!"

"Yes Commander!" Everyone shivered before shouting in unison.

They knew that this time Billy was determined to rectify SHADOW.

Alban Carroll then walked up to Billy and knelt down on one knee before him. "I cannot escape blame for SHADOW's many problems. Please punish me accordingly." He said.

"If I remember correctly," Billy replied. "You joined SHADOW two years ago? These historical legacy issues won't be counted against you! But if there are still such serious problems like this after a month... you'll be held responsible!"

"Thank you, Commander Gardner, for your mercy!" Alban Carroll replied loudly. "Please rest assured that I will not let you down!"

"Good!" Billy said before turning and leaving, with Casey and Billy following closely behind.

...

That afternoon, Billy was discussing something with Casey in Derek's office when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Harleen.

"Wife, what's up?" Billy asked with a smile after answering the phone.

"Billy, Felicia is in trouble!" Harleen's voice sounded anxious.

"What happened?" Billy frowned.

"I just received a call from her classmate. They were shopping together when suddenly several men rushed over and took Felicia away without saying anything," Harleen paused briefly before continuind, "Felicia's phone is no longer reachable..."

"What?" A chill spread over Billy's body.

"Billy, do you know anyone in Enssea? Can you..." Harleen's voice choked slightly.

"Don't worry. I promise Felicia will be fine." Billy interrupted her, "Give me her classmate's number, there are some things I need to ask her."

"Okay..."

After finishing speaking, Harleen hung up the phone.

"Boss, what happened?" Casey asked while Derek also looked over at Billy.

"Felicia has been kidnapped in Enssea!" Billy responded in a deep voice.

"What?" Casey and the others exclaimed in shock.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
