"Ms Salvage, you are Harleen's friend, which means you are my friend too. No need to be so polite." Billy smiled again and changed the topic. "As for Orson's situation, you shouldn't worry too much."
Although Billy didn't know how Orson Baker was doing at the moment, he could tell from Douglas Watts's words earlier that Orson probably hadn't encountered major trouble yet; otherwise, Douglas wouldn't have reacted that way.
"Thank you, Mr Gardner!" Simona Salvage bowed slightly, but her worried expression remained.
"Simona, don't worry. Trust Billy." Harleen finally calmed down. Since she had seen Billy again a few months ago, her heart had been repeatedly shaken, and she was genuinely worried that she might explode from the excitement one day.
"How many secrets is Billy hiding? This can't go on. I must use a "gentle bomb" on him someday to reveal all his secrets!" Harleen thought.
"Thank you, Harleen!" Simona Salvage replied to Harleen. She had a hunch that Harleen probably didn't know her husband's true identity, considering her earlier reaction.
"No problem, Simona." Harleen Knight said with a smile. "Could you please check if our order is ready?"
Simona Salvage then hurriedly replied, "It should be ready. Let me go check."
About an hour later, Billy and his party finished their meal and were preparing to return to the hotel when a call came in from Azure Fang.
"Wife, you and Ava can head back to the hotel and rest. Stout and I will go see Azure Fang for a bit." Billy told Harleen after hanging up the call.
"Alright!" Harleen nodded and added with a hint of concern, "Please be careful!"
She knew that Billy was going to deal with Orson Baker's situation.
"Don't worry about me. Everything will be fine." Billy reassured her with a reassuring look and then led Stout toward the door.
"Mr Gardner, can I go with you?" Just as Billy and Stout reached the door, Simona Salvage caught up with them and asked in a pleading tone.
"It's still unclear about the strength of the other party. It might be dangerous for you to come along." Billy responded.
"I'm not afraid. I just want to see Orson Baker as soon as possible." Simona said with a worried expression.
"Alright then, come with us." Billy nodded.
"Thank you, Mr Gardner!" Simona bowed in gratitude.
The SHADOW base in Shenford was about a twenty-minute drive from the restaurant. When they arrived, Azure Fang greeted them promptly.
"Boss!" Upon arriving, Azure Fang greeted Billy first and then turned to address Simona.
"Ms Salvage is worried about Orson Baker's safety, so she's coming with us to check on him." Billy explained to Azure Fang. "Do you have any updates on the situation?"
"The Watts family is truly despicable!" Azure Fang took a deep breath and began to explain to the group. "In the past year, they had been originally one of the four major families in Shenford, and they have transformed into the most prominent powerhouse in the city. They achieved this by having remnants of Yin Void Sect help them eliminate their rivals."
"In return, the Watts family provided substantial funding to the remnants of Yin Void Sect and even sent them female disciples on occasion."
"Many unsuspecting women were either coerced or brainwashed by them and sent to their sect."
