Billy nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed, it's rather unusual."
Given his understanding of the Doman family, their response shouldn't be like this. They would have shown some sort of reaction by now, to some extent. But now, so many days had passed, and there wasn't even a hint of movement. It was clear that something was odd about this situation.
"Boss, if the Doman family continues to remain inactive, should we release the sins that Lord Buddha provided and then have SHADOW capture their people? Let's see how they react." Judge suggested.
"It's not impactful enough and doesn't serve our purpose." Billy shook his head slightly.
"What do you mean?" Judge looked slightly puzzled.
"Judge, doing something like that wouldn't achieve much." Derek explained from the side.
"The Doman family is different from those three families. Even if there's compromising record, it won't undermine their foundation."
"Those families have an abundance of people, and they can easily sacrifice a few members to diffuse any allegations."
"The relationships of these families are complex and intricate. It's not only about Enssea, they have connections in the capital city as well. Unless we have indisputable evidence that can bring them down, it will only be a superficial itch we're scratching."
"So, what's our plan then? Are we just waiting for them to come to us? It's not exciting if we only catch a few small fish." Judge said somewhat frustratedly.
Just then, a knock on the door sounded, and Donald walked in.
"Donald, what's up?" Derek asked.
"Sir, the Doman family sent an invitation letter," Donald handed the card to Derek.
"Hmm?" Derek paused slightly, taking the invitation and quickly scanning it before looking at Billy.
"Mr Gardner, the head of the Doman family has invited me to his birthday banquet, and he explicitly mentioned that I can bring people along."
"Oh?" Billy raised an eyebrow.
"They seem to be quite leisurely, even in the midst of all this chaos, they're still in the mood for a grand banquet," Judge commented coldly.
"Mr Gardner, would you like to attend?" Derek continued.
"They've already delivered the invitation. Why not?" Billy smiled faintly. "When is it?"
"Tonight," Derek replied.
"Heh, let's go and have a big meal tonight." Billy's eyes narrowed slightly.
The fact that the invitation allowed Derek Hines to bring people suggested that the Doman family was targeting Billy. And Billy wanted to see what this whole show was about.
In the evening at 5 o'clock, Billy and his group arrived at the designated venue for the banquet-a large estate on the outskirts of the city. The estate covered an area of at least 100, 000 square meters, nestled beside a mountain and a river, boasting picturesque views.
"Please show your invitation cards," a man in black said as the five arrived at the entrance of the estate.
Derek handed over the invitation, and the man in black glanced at it, his expression flickering slightly.
"Mr Hines, please come in!"
Soon, they entered the estate. Inside, the place was bustling with activity, creating an extravagant atmosphere. The attendees at the banquet were all dressed in top-notch attire, exuding an extraordinary aura. Men wore suits and leather shoes, while women were adorned with pearls and jewels.
"Boss, it looks like tonight is a banquet of conspiracy." Stout assessed the surroundings and commented.
