At this point, even Zelene Frazier, as clueless as she might be, had guessed Billy's identity. Based on the information she possessed, among SHADOW's several governors, the strongest in combat was Azure Fang in the central region, but he was only at the late-stage Warlord level. However, the strength Billy had displayed was at least at the War Grandmaster level or higher. Within all of SHADOW, except for the SHADOW Master, who else could possess such strength?
With trembling and a terrified expression on her face, she realized the gravity of the situation. Regret surged within her. If she had known Commander Gardner was in Shenford, she wouldn't have come, even if given ten times the courage. She had truly walked into her own demise.
Hearing her words, the core members of the Watts family all collapsed, similarly shaking and filled with fear.
The Watts family was utterly doomed.
"Do you know why SHADOW came to the Watts family?" Billy asked Zelene Frazier, ignoring the pleas of the Watts family members. "Did Hubert Watts tell you the reasons?"
As he spoke, a majestic and overwhelming pressure emanated from him, shrouding everyone present. Under such a powerful pressure, everyone, including Zelene Frazier, felt as if a moutain was pressing down on them.
"I... I..." Zelene shuddered, her eyes revealing panic.
"From your expression, it seems you already knew that they had conspired with Yin Void Sect, or perhaps you were the ones who instigated it?" Billy continued, his gaze narrowing.
"No... it's not like that," Zelene Frazier stammered. "We of the Frazier family did not know about this."
"Miss Frazier..." Upon hearing her words, Hubert immediately spoke up. He knew that Zelene Frazier was completely abandoning the Watts family.
"If you utter another word, I'll annihilate your entire family!" Zelene Frazier gritted her teeth.
Hubert Watts shut his mouth since he believed that Zelene Frazier's words were not an empty threat.
"Are you treating me like a three-year-old child?" Billy looked at Zelene Frazier, his voice calm.
"I... We only heard about the Watts family being associated with Yin Void Sect, but we definitely did not instigate this. It's not something we pushed for." Zelene Frazier stammered, trembling as she spoke. She dared not admit to any involvement because acknowledging it would be a grave offense. Yin Void Sect had been classified as a heretical cult a decade ago, and if the Frazier family was implicated in any way, they would face severe consequences, provoking public outrage.
"Since you've learned about the Watts family's collusion with Yin Void Sect, why did you come to Shenford to obstruct SHADOW's investigation? Who gave you the audacity?" Billy's tone grew colder.
"I'm sorry... I was wrong... Please forgive me this time, I won't dare again..." Zelene hurriedly begged for mercy.
"I asked you a question earlier. Your family's young heiress should be Violet Frazier, right? Since when did it become your turn?" Billy inquired.
"My... my cousin..." Zelene Frazier stammered.
"Tell me!"
"My uncle was already stripped of his position as the family head, so my cousin..."
Billy's imposing aura intensified as he spoke in a cold tone, "So, where are they now?"
"They are still in the Frazier estate, but they've been expelled from the core ranks of the family and demoted to secondary status."
"You're doing so good." Billy's expression turned stern, and with a swift motion, he sent a powerful gust of wind that threw Zelene Frazier off her feet.
Zelene coughed up a mouthful of blood after landing, and when she regained her composure, her voice trembled as she exclaimed, "You... you've crippled my cultivation!"
