Immediately, Billy knelt down on both legs, his eyes turning red as he looked in the direction of Ozin.
"Father, I have been unfilial. It was my fault that the Miles family was implicated... I'm sorry..."
He never thought that the truth behind everything would be so cruel and that it all stemmed from himself. In his mind, various memories surfaced including those of his biological parents and different people and events.
For so many years now he had deliberately avoided thinking about the past in order to sever all ties with it. But fate had other plans for him and burdened him once again with such a huge psychological weight. Although even Luna Wilkinson didn't know the true identity of the other party, there was no way she didn't have any guesses.
"Brother, take care!" Casey and Judge came up to him.
After taking a deep breath, Billy bowed his head three times towards Ozin's direction before standing up again.
"You didn't take my jade pendant. You should know I'm not dead. Why didn't you come looking for me later?" He then turned to Luna Wilkinson and asked in a low voice.
"We wanted to find you too but someone warned Ink Pavilion later, saying if we dared chase after you again they would wipe out Ink Pavilion completely. So we were ordered by our superiors to give up."
Luna Wilkinson took another deep breath before continuing, "We explained to our employer that you jumped into the river committing suicide along with your jade pendant."
"What secrets does this jade pendant hold?" Billy continued asking, at the same time an image of an old man appeared in his mind. If he guessed correctly, it must have been that old man who gave Ink Pavilion warning.
"I... I don't know!" Luna Wilkinson shook her head.
"Judge, she's in your hands now. Make her reveal the Ink Pavilion's hideout and clear them all out!" Billy turned to Judge and gave his orders.
"Got it!" Judge nodded vigorously before walking towards Luna Wilkinson.
Five minutes later, Billy and Casey got into their car.
"Brother, do you know who did this?" Casey started the engine and asked.
"While I can't be completely sure yet, it's highly likely." Billy replied with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Really? Casey's tone became serious. "I'll call Azure Dragon and have him gather our team in the capital. We'll find whoever did this and take them down."
Casey declared with determination in his voice. For him, even if the capital was a dangerous place, Billy had to avenge his family's death. And Casey didn't believe anyone could stop Army of Bloodshadow - an army of tens of thousands of elite soldiers forged through bloodshed on battlefields.
"No, let's wait for further confirmation. Besides, it's not wise to go to the capital right now." Billy exhaled deeply as complex emotions flickered across his eyes. Then he took out his phone to make a call.
"Hi, Commander, what are your orders?" The phone rang once before an enchanting voice answered on the other end.
"Are you in the capital? There are a few things I need you to take care of right away!" Billy spoke in a low voice.
If it were any other time, he would have scolded the person and asked her to speak properly, but he was not in the mood now.
"Please give me your orders, sir!" The other person could tell from Billy's tone that he was serious and immediately became serious as well.
Billy then gave some instructions over the phone.
Ten minutes later, he hung up.
"You better not let me find any evidence. Otherwise, you will regret it!" Billy murmured as his gaze became sharp.
Casey felt a chill run down his spine when he sensed Billy's anger. He knew that if Billy's suspicions were confirmed, there would be chaos in the capital.
