Before the words had even been finished, Judge's hand lashed out, delivering a resounding slap. "You fool who doesn't know any better!"
"I'm from the Toye family in Enssea. How dare you touch me, are you implying you don't want to live?" Will Toye raised his hand to wipe away the blood from his mouth and shouted angrily.
"You think you're better than anyone because you're from SHADOW? I..."
Once again, a series of crisp slaps echoed through the air, causing Will Toye's cheeks to swell up immediately.
"One more remark, do you believe I'll kill you right now?" A chilling aura emanated from Judge.
"You..." Will Toye trembled all over.
"Judge, inform the Toye family that they have two hours to come to Ozin to see me, or else, they'll be collecting the body of their young master." Billy calmly interjected.
"Yes, Commander!" Judge nodded.
"Where were the bodies of those patients taken?" Billy turned his gaze towards Will Toye.
"You... who are you from SHADOW?" Hearing that Billy dared to summon his family members to Ozin, Will Toye had a sense of impending doom.
"I'll ask again, where were the bodies taken?" Billy asked again.
"I advise you to release me immediately. This matter is beyond the control of SHADOW. Otherwise..." Will Toye took a deep breath before speaking.
But before he could finish speaking, a blade-like gust of force shot out from Billy's palm, narrowly missing Will Toye's shoulder.
"Ah..."
Will Toye let out a hysterical scream and writhed on the ground, his left arm limp and blood spurting out.
"From now on, every question I ask you, if you don't answer honestly, I'll sever one of your limbs until I reach your head." Billy said with a stern tone.
"I… I had the bodies taken to the outskirts of Enssea. There's a secret laboratory there…" Will Toye lost all his defiance.
"And the address?"
"I… I'll write it down for you…" Will Toye struggled to take the paper and pen Stout offered him.
"Besides your Toye family, were there others involved in this matter?" Once Will Toye handed the address to Stout, Billy questioned again.
"It's… WestCloud Trading Company's people approached us…" Will Toye began explaining, his spirit broken.
"They… They have a pharmaceutical subsidiary that mainly develops cancer drugs. They claimed that if this drug trial succeeded, their newly developed targeted medicine would monopolize the global market…"
"We… the Toye family happens to have a stake in the pharmaceutical industry, so we…"
"WestCloud Trading Company in Zephyria?" Billy's eyes gleamed with coldness.
WestCloud Trading Company, one of the largest conglomerates globally, headquartered in Zephyria. Like Sakura Blossom Trading Company, it appeared to engage in commerce, but was essentially a spy organization, feeding intelligence from its global branches back to the country of Zephyria.
"Yes…" Will Toye swallowed nervously.
"How despicable!" Judge thundered.
"How dare you collude with WestCloud Trading Company! Don't you tell me you don't know what kind of organization it is!"
"We… We were just trying to develop a new product. Though the drug had uncertainties, it doesn't mean it's doomed to fail…" Will Toye tried to justify.
