Cole Wilson let out a sigh, his eyes flashing with a hint of complexity.
Billy's question made it difficult for him to answer. Being able to hold the position of the first person in charge of the military department was obviously based on his great achievements, but more importantly, it was based on his integrity and character. With his personality, if he were in Billy's current position and knew that there were hidden secrets behind that matter, he would never turn a blind eye.
"Didn't you just ask me about my intentions?" Billy took another sip of tea before continuing.
"If I have to compromise for that position and ignore the SHADOW case, then I can tell you that I'm not interested!"
"Gardner, today I offer you tea instead of wine!" Cole Wilson stood up and looked at Billy. "When you close the SHADOW case one day, I will bring strong liquor to toast you!"
After speaking, he lifted his cup with both hands and drank it all in one go!
"Thank you, General Wilson!" Billy also stood up and bowed before lifting his teacup to drink.
Three minutes later, Cole Wilson appeared again in the courtyard square. He bid farewell to Billy as they walked towards the courtyard gate together.
Just before they reached the gatehouse entrance way, Cole Wilson turned around and looked at Billy solemnly.
"The world is vast and boundless. Right or wrong is determined by people's hearts. Let go and do what needs to be done! As long as I am still in this position for one day longer, I can ensure justice is served every single day."
With that said, Cole Wilson strode towards the door with big steps .
"Thank you, General Wilson." Billy bowed slightly.
"Farewell, General Wilson!" SHADOW members shouted in unison.
"Boss, can we leave now?" Judge asked after Cole Wilson left.
"Yes," Billy nodded and turned to Night Orchid. "Just the few of us will go. Let the others stay put."
"Yes, Commander." Night Orchid nodded in response.
The Leonard family's mansion was located in the southern part of the capital, nestled against a mountain and covering an area of 100, 000 square meters. It boasted beautiful scenery and excellent geomancy.
An hour later, their extended SUV stopped at an archway with two dragons, phoenixes and a title of "LEONARD MANSION" carved on top. Below it was a fence with a one-kilometer-long tree-lined avenue leading straight to Leonard Mansion's courtyard.
According to Leonard Mansion's rules, anyone who came to visit had to get out here and walk inside.
"Who goes there?" Eight black-clad guards stood at the entrance with tense expressions and fierce aura - all battle generals!
It was clear that Leonard Mansion knew Billy's group would come; they had already changed their guards.
"SHADOW is here to capture an SSS-level wanted criminal. Please cooperate!" Brigham Bush got out of his seat and responded loudly.
"Nonsense!" One of the guards replied sternly. "Why are you looking for any wanted criminals here? You have one minute to leave or face consequences!"
"How dare you!" A cold air emanated from Brigham Bush as he spoke up again. "SHADOW has orders, anyone who obstructs our investigation will be treated as accomplices! Open the door now, or face the consequences!"
"You're full of hot air!" The man in black stared coldly at Brigham Bush. "You can try if you want."
"Fine!" Brigham Bush's eyes narrowed as he lunged forward, wielding his curved blade towards the man in black.
"How dare you act so recklessly in Leonard Mansion, you really don't know your place and deserve death!" A low voice came from the guard post.
As he spoke, a beam of sword energy with thunderous force shot out from the guard post towards them.
"You are tragically out of your depth!" Judge got out of his car and also raised his hand to unleash an extremely sharp cold light.
Boom!
