"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?" Billy asked with a faint smile.
"I apologize, Mr Gardner, but finding someone is not within our business scope." Rainbow Carter responded after some thought.
"Ten billion!" Billy interrupted her. "As long as you can help me find the target, I can offer ten billion. If you think it's too little, we can negotiate."
Upon hearing this, both Rainbow Carter and the woman in cheongsam took a sharp breath of cold air. Although they had dealt with many wealthy clients before, they rarely encountered someone who offered ten billion right off the bat.
"One moment, please." After some consideration, Rainbow Carter stood up. The price of ten billion was beyond her authority and she needed to report it first.
"Thank you for your trouble." Billy said with a faint smile.
Later on, Rainbow Carter and the other woman turned around and left.
"Ink Pavilion is indeed something. This woman is a Grand Elder Battle Master!" Judge spoke as soon as they were gone. "Even the waiter are Warriors."
"Of course, Ink Pavilion is an assassin organization that has been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, not to be underestimated." Casey nodded in response.
As they were talking on the corridor again came sounds of footsteps. Soon enough, only one middle-aged man in his fifties walked inside accompanied by Rainbow Carter.
"Mr Gardner, let me introduce our boss." Rainbow carter spoke up.
"Hello, Mr Gardner, I've been looking forward to meet you. I'm Mason Kemp." The middle-aged man said as he sat down on the nearby couch and turned to Billy.
"Hi, Mr Kemp, it's so nice to finally meet you!" Billy smiled. "Sorry for disturbing you."
"No need to be polite, Mr Gardner," Mason Kemp replied with a smile. "I heard that you wanted us to help find someone?"
"Yes," Billy nodded in response.
"I'm curious about who exactly you're looking for?" Mason Kemp paused briefly before continuing, "Also, how did you know we could definitely find them?"
"We're looking for her!" Billy pulled out a photo from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table.
The photo was of Lady Peony wearing a veil - Judge had retrieved it directly from the SHADOW system.
"Hmm!?"
As soon as they saw the photo, both Mason Kemp and Rainbow Carter's pupils shrank in shock.
"What do you think, Mr Kemp? You should know her, right?" Billy noticed their reactions immediately.
"You must be joking, Mr Gardner!" After taking a deep breath to steady his emotions, Mason Kemp replied, "This woman wears a veil, we can't even see her face, how could I possibly know her?"
"Is that so?" Billy raised an eyebrow slightly, "This woman has a nickname, Lady Peony, I'm sure you've heard of her."
As soon as Billy finished speaking, both Mason Kemp and Rainbow Carter burst out with strong energy at the same time.
