Upon hearing the words from the SHADOW operatives, those who were unaware of Billy's identity suddenly collapsed. They were shivering in fear, and some even had the unfortunate experience of wetting themselves. Terrified by Judge's actions earlier, they were now in complete despair.
"Take them all back for a thorough investigation. Once we find any wrongdoing, they will be punished." Billy ordered sternly.
"Yes, Commander!" all twenty operatives replied in unison.
"No!..." Dwayne Rowse shouted loudly. He was well aware of the terrible things he had done. If he was investigated, he would have enough crimes to warrant multiple death sentences.
Faye Rowse's face turned pale. Over the years, she had done many despicable things under the assumption that being the young miss of the Rowse family gave her immunity. Just last month, in a fit of jealousy, she had ordered a group of men to assault a woman, leading to her suicide. This actions could certainly lead to Faye Rowse's execution.
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, at the eastern gate of the Rowse estate, SHADOW Deputy Inspector Patrick Eland led a hundred SHADOW operatives as they disembarked from their vehicles.
"Who are you people?" Four men at the gatehouse looked at them with suspicion.
"Group One, stay here. Group Two, head to the back gate. Group Three and Four, go to the side entrance." Patrick Eland ordered with a wave of his hand.
"Without my instructions, no one is allowed to enter the estate. Anyone who resists should be eliminated!" Patrick Eland instructed.
"Understood!" the operatives replied in unison before dispersing.
"Inform the master, go!" one of the gate guards said to his companion with a trembling voice.
"Alright..." The companion nodded and pulled out his phone to make a call.
After about five minutes, the sound of footsteps echoed.
Following that, Martin Rowse, the head of the Rowse family, came out with a large group of people, his face not looking pleased.
"Who are you people? Who gave you the authority to come to my house..." Martin Rowse spoke while walking, his aura emitting a strong presence. Midway through his words, he recognized Patrick Eland and was momentarily stunned. Then, he furrowed his brows and continued speaking, "Deputy Inspector Eland, what do you mean by this? What are you trying to do?"
He had dealt with Patrick Eland a few times before. As the head of the number one powerhouse in Linkville, he naturally wanted to have a closer relationship with SHADOW. However, Patrick Eland had never given him face, publicly humiliating him on several occasions. Therefore, Martin Rowse had long held a grudge against Patrick.
"Nothing serious, just go for a walk here." Patrick Eland spoke up.
He had received orders to first encircle the Rowse family, preventing anyone from entering or leaving. As for the rest, he was to await further instructions.
"Damn it, do you SHADOW people think you're invincible?" Martin Rowse's third younger brother, Daley Rowse, stepped forward, pointing at Patrick Eland.
"This is the Rowses' private estate, we don't welcome you. Tell your people to get lost!"
"You act so high and mighty!" Patrick Eland responded coldly. "You'd better pray for yourself."
"What do you mean?" Daley Rowse furrowed his brow.
"You'll see!" Patrick shrugged his shoulders, his voice cold.
"Stop the nonsense. If you don't leave now, I'll have my people throw you out!"
"You can try!"
