Although Douglas Watts had no fear of SHADOW members in Shenford, he didn't dare to provoke a SHADOW Commander openly. The SHADOW Commander held tremendous power, and with a single order, tens of thousands of SHADOW members in the central region could gather in Shenford within minutes. Dealing with the Watts family would be a matter of minutes. He didn't expect that this famous figure had come to Shenford. "Could it be related to Orson Baker's situation?" Douglas thought to himself. The thought sent a shiver down his spine, and he felt an uneasy sensation in his heart.
"Boss!" At this moment, Azure Fang had reached Billy and bowed respectfully.
Billy had previously instructed his comrades that whenever Harleen was present, all formalities should be dispensed with.
The spectators were dumbfounded, their jaws dropping to the floor. The revered SHADOW Commander, someone even the heavenly figures in Shenford had to show respect to, was addressing the person in front of him as "boss"?
And it was evident from Azure Fang's demeanor and tone that he was showing genuine respect.
Everyone wondered who Billy was.
Standing behind Azure Fang, Simona Salvage's face was filled with astonishment. She had heard her fiance talk about it; in SHADOW, the five Commanders referred to the leader of SHADOW as "boss". Now based on Azure Fang's respectful attitude, she didn't need much to realize who this person was.
The King of the West, the Leader of SHADOW, Commander Gardner!
She finally understood why she had felt an invisible pressure the moment she laid eyes on Billy. In the presence of such a top-tier figure, who wouldn't feel pressured?
As for Douglas Watts, even though he hadn't yet guessed Billy's identity, he had enough sense to realize that this was a person of immense importance. After all, a person who made even a SHADOW Commander bow in respect couldn't possibly be ordinary.
Mick Watts saw this scene, his legs went weak, and he collapsed on the ground. He shivered uncontrollably, and a foul stench emanated from his crotch. He hadn't even dreamed that the woman he coveted would have such a terrifying husband. He had truly dug his own grave!
"Azure Fang," Billy said to Azure Fang in a calm manner.
"Sorry for being late, boss." Azure Fang responded with a nod before greeting Harleen Knight, "Hello, Ms Knight." And he gave a nod to Stout.
"Sir... who are you?" Harleen still hadn't fully recovered from her astonishment.
Ava Jones, sitting across from her, had the same expression of utter shock. In Ozin, Billy had already left a deep impression on her, but she never expected that coming to Shenford, the surprises would continue.
"Harleen, he's one of my good comrades, Azure Fang." Billy explained.
"Nice to meet you, Mr Azure Fang." Said Harleen after a pause.
"Ms Knight, just call me by my name." Azure Fang continued to ask Billy, "Boss, how should we proceed?"
"What case has Orson Baker been working on recently?" asked Billy.
"Orson Baker has been investigating something related to Yin Void Sect these days." Azure Fang replied.
"Yin Void Sect?" Billy's eyes flickered with a hint of coldness. "Have they resurfaced?"
Yin Void Sect was a notorious cult that practiced dark rituals and harmed innocent people. They had been eliminated by SHADOW ten years ago, with over a thousand members killed back then. After that, Yin Void Sect had disappeared completely from the public eye for nearly a decade.
Never had Billy expected that they would resurface after all these years.
