Boom!
Azure Fang's wrist continuously flipped, and several thunderous blade beams sliced through the thick doors of the Watts family courtyard, reducing them to a pile of debris.
A thousand SHADOW soldiers entered in formation, forming four squads around the courtyard's central square, while Billy and his group stood in the center of the square. At the same time, from all around the courtyard, around five hundred people rushed out, their faces filled with fear.
From yesterday evening until now, they had neither eaten nor drunk, as if they were awaiting their judgment day. Only those who had experienced it firsthand could understand the feeling.
Soon, a group of people emerged from a luxurious villa on the eastern side of the courtyard. They were the core members of the Watts family, led by the current family head, Hubert Watts.
"SHADOW is truly lawless, daring to seal the Watts family courtyard for a whole day and night. Do you still have any respect for the law?" Hubert Watts, who had arrived a hundred meters away from Billy and the others, shouted angrily.
"Who among you is in charge here? Come out and talk to me!" He was more confident now than he had been this morning. Although he still wasn't completely sure why SHADOW had come to the Watts family, he had his suspicions. If it wasn't something major, SHADOW wouldn't have taken such drastic measures. Moreover, he hadn't been able to contact anyone from Yin Void Sect since last night, which further confirmed his suspicions. That was why he had requested assistance from the capital. And now, the people from the capital had arrived, bolstering his confidence.
Over the years, he had spent a considerable amount of money to cultivate various connections in order to help the Watts family prosper. Every year, one-third of the family's total income was sent to the capital. This time, the capital had dispatched people to Shenford so readily; it wasn't in vain that he had spent all that money.
"Hubert Watts, if you don't want your clans to be wiped out, you better behave!" Orson Baker spoke loudly.
"Heh, such arrogance!" Hubert Watts sneered. "Inspector Baker, you're not the lead on this scene, are you? You're not qualified to talk to me!"
"Is that so?" Orson Baker's voice grew heavy, and he drew a Cold Moon Curved Blade from his side. "Do you believe I can take your head with a single swing of my blade?"
"Are you trying to scare me? You can give it a try!"
"Very well!" Orson Baker's gaze darkened, and he was about to move in.
"Baker!" Azure Fang stopped him. Then he turned to look at Hubert Watts. "Do you know the crimes committed by the Watts family?"
"Who are you?" Hubert assessed Azure Fang.
"SHADOW governor of the Central District, Azure Fang!"
"Oh?" Hubert's pupils contracted slightly. "So, it was under the orders of the Inspector-General that SHADOW dared to take such action!"
"So, Governor Azure Fang, can you explain why you SHADOW had sealed off my estate? Moreover, my younger brother should be in SHADOW's custody, correct? When do you intend to release him?" Hubert asked, his tone tinged with resentment.
"It seems that the person behind you has given you great confidence!" Azure Fang spoke sternly. "Douglas Watts committed heinous crimes and has already met his end as of last night."
"What!?" Hubert Watts exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief. "How dare you kill my younger brother?"
"I not only dared to kill your younger brother, but I also dare to annihilate your clans. Do you believe me?" Azure Fang responded.
"Bastard!" Hubert shouted in anger.
"Enough, don't shout anymore. You'll soon have a chance to meet him!" Azure Fang said again. "Let your people behind you come out. I don't have time to waste here. You have one minute. After one minute, SHADOW law enforcement will treat anyone who obstructs as accomplices."
