"Oh?" Billy raised an eyebrow as he listened to Brigham Bush's words. The possibility of Mirabelle Leonard undergoing another disguise was quite significant.
After committing the crime, it was unlikely that she would retain Night Orchid's appearance. Reverting to her original look would carry some risk, so it made sense for her to take on a completely new identity.
"Where are they?" Billy continued to inquire.
"They've gone to a villa owned by Leroy Holmes." Brigham Bush replied.
"Keep them under surveillance." Billy said with a stern tone.
"I've already given the order." Brigham Bush nodded in response.
"Let's go and check it out." Billy said, getting up and heading towards the door, with Judge and the others following closely.
Leroy Holmes' villa was a standalone property, located near a park in the southern part of the city. Meanwhile, in the living room of the villa, Leroy Holmes and a young woman were sitting on a couch. The woman appeared to be in her mid-twenties, with delicate features and an alluring figure. She was dressed in a low-cut sweater that highlighted her curve.
"Mirabelle, your disguise skills are truly remarkable. I can't see any resemblance up close." Leroy Holmes said with a smile, his gaze admiring her figure.
Clearly, the woman was none other than Mirabelle Leonard, the young lady of the Leonard clan.
"Don't flatter me, Uncle Leroy. I don't have that level of skill. This disguise was crafted by my master." Mirabelle Leonard replied with a coquettish smile, adjusting her hair. She then picked up her glass of red wine. "Uncle Leroy, toast to your help."
"It's nothing," Leroy Holmes said, raising his glass to clink it against hers.
"So, how does Central Sky Office plan to handle the Night Orchid case? They can't drag it out indefinitely, can they?" asked she.
"Don't worry," Leroy Holmes said, taking a sip of wine. "After today, SHADOW will only have four out of its original five sharp blades left."
"Really?" Mirabelle's eyes lit up.
"Yes," Leroy confirmed with a smile. "It was supposed to be carried out three days ago, but I heard that someone from the western region contacted Central Sky Office and requested a three-day extension. After these three days, if they can't find any evidence to prove Night Orchid's innocence, Central Sky Office will handle it."
"Humph! He's overestimating himself!" Mirabelle snorted, her eyes flashing with cold determination. "Even if he's given three years, he won't find anything!"
"He's always been quite arrogant, hasn't he?" Leroy chuckled.
"Yes. Uncle Leroy, is there any chance this matter will face any more complications? What about Central Sky Office..."
"Don't worry," Leroy interrupted her. "I promise there won't be any more problems. We, the Holmes clan, have joined forces with two other clans and have made our voices heard in five of the privileged departments. Even if Central Sky Office wants to protect him, they'll have to consider the opinions of others. Moreover, the new official at Central Sky Office is an absolute iron-willed character. Giving him three days was already a big concession. He should be satisfied."
"That's good to hear." Mirabelle said, raising her glass again.
"Uncle Leroy, thank you. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't know when I'd be able to start avenging my family."
"No problem. This is just the first step. Take it slow, I promise you'll have your revenge in no time."
"I believe you, Uncle Leroy!" Mirabelle said, her eyes filled with allure.
