"I warn you, if you have any other ulterior motives, I'll castrate you!" Lizzie Greenwood gave him a stern warning. She knew exactly what Jay White was thinking.
"How could that be? I didn't think anything of it!" Jay White quickly responded. He had no doubt about her words. He couldn't afford to be discovered, or he might really lose his manhood.
"Lizzie, how do you plan to handle them?" Jay White changed the subject.
"I haven't decided yet. We'll see."Lizzie Greenwood said, taking a sip of tea. Then, she asked, "Has Marty Bennett said anything?"
"That stubborn old man is still refusing to talk!" Jay White replied.
"What a bunch of useless people!"Lizzie Greenwood scolded. "If we keep waiting, something big will happen. Tell them to use any means necessary to make him talk before sunrise tomorrow! Otherwise, let them bring him to see me personally!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Jay White nodded vigorously. Then, he sat next to Lizzie Greenwood and said, "You must be tired today. Let me give you a massage."
"Okay," Lizzie Greenwood agreed and propped her legs up on Jay White's lap.
Just as Jay White began the massage, a man rushed in hastily without even knocking on the door.
"Damn it!" Jay White was furious and yelled at the man.
Lizzie Greenwood was equally angry and shouted, "Get out!"
"Miss Greenwood, Inspector, something... something has happened." The man's face turned pale, and he trembled uncontrollably.
"What could be so important? Did the sky fall?" Jay White continued to roar.
"SHADOW has surrounded Special Patrol Division with 3, 000 people!" The man struggled to speak.
"What?!" Jay White yelled again. "Do they want to rebel? Who gave Liam Anderson the guts? Is he tired of living?!"
"SHADOW people have always been like this. There's no need to make a fuss about it!"Lizzie Greenwood sneered. "Let's go and hear what they have to say."
With that, she got up and walked toward the door, with Jay White following closely behind.
"Miss Greenwood, Inspector, and they..." The man tried to speak again.
"Don't waste any more time here. Go outside and see for yourself!" Jay White interrupted him once more.
The man had no choice but to shut up. He wanted to tell them that the leader of the group was not Liam Anderson, but someone else. Although he didn't recognize that person, he knew for sure that he was a big shot. Liam Anderson had been acting submissive in front of that person the whole time.
Shortly afterward, Lizzie Greenwood and Jay White arrived at the entrance of the compound.
"Liam Anderson, you have some nerve!" Jay White didn't even notice Billy standing nearby as he shouted at Liam. "Who gave you the authority to surround Special Patrol Division with people? Are you tired of your position?"
"Jay White, you're just an idiot, you don't even know when you're facing death! You..." Liam Anderson shouted back.
"Anderson, it seems you haven't recognized your place. Do you want me to help you find it?"Lizzie Greenwood said with a disdainful tone. She had casually glanced at Billy earlier but didn't recognize him, so she ignored him.
"You have a big mouth!" Liam Anderson retorted. "I'm from SHADOW, and I don't need the Greenwood family to meddle in my affairs!"
