Chapter 141 Confusing And Chaotic


    Chapter 141 Confusing and Chaotic


    "He was from a family of power and influence in the capital city, a radical figure." Judge continued,


    "He came with the purpose of investigating that case, so most of his energy was focused on finding


    Ebony Lord, but at that time Ebony Lord had already disappeared without a trace."


    "But he shouldn''t have justbeled Ebony Lord as an S-level wanted criminal for this, right?"


    "The city gave him a time limit, so after investigating for almost half a year in a seemingly proper


    manner, he submitted a so-called closing statement to the capital." Judge continued with a slightly


    disdainful expression.


    "The conclusion in the document was that, after investigation, this case was orchestrated by Ebony


    Lord and outsiders to frame the master of SHADOW and four other sharp des, after achieving


    their goal they fled out of fear. From then on, not only did Ebony Lord make it onto SHADOW''s S-


    level wanted list but also became one of Special Patrol Squadron''s key targets."


    "This is eptable?" Casey was speechless.


    "No one knows what really happened except for Ebony Lord!" Judge continued. "The case was


    written in that way and others would find it difficult to prove it wrong, since only Ebony Lord survived


    and even he disappeared without any trace."


    "Fine."


    "Afterpleting that closing statement report, that man was transferred back to the city and


    reportedly got promoted two levels upon returning." Continued Judge.


    "As expected." Casey shrugged his shoulders.


    This was just another trick used by those family with power. They took advantage of special


    situations to gain some political capital for their descendants within their own circle, which was quite


    normal.


    "So, that case had a result." Judge said, "And from then on, apetition for the new leadership of


    SHADOW started and entered into heated status."


    "It is said that several ns in the capital once jointly rmended several people to serve as the


    master of SHADOW and the new ''Five Sharp des''. However, they lost the game during the


    process because several old men strongly rmended our brother to be the master of


    SHADOW."


    "Of course, although these ns lost this round, the bosses made great concessions in other


    aspects to appease them. For example, things rted to Special Patrol Squadron and Buddha Hall,


    which gave those ns an eptable exnation."


    "These ns really spare no effort to achieve their goals!" Casey understood what was going on


    when he heard this.

    "It''s a snake eating a crocodile. There will always be retribution one day!" Judge took a deep breath


    and continued, "After our brother was appointed as the new master of SHADOW, Azure Fang and I


    were arranged to join SHADOW along with three others. Besides, the capital gave brother a task,


    he must capture Ebony Lord within two years."


    "Although SHADOW has not found Ebony Lord in recent years, you should have got some


    information?" Casey nodded slightly and asked.


    "It''s better than nothing!" Judge then shook his head in response, "They obviously came prepared.


    Except for the unexpected lead about Ebony Lord, all clues were cut off."


    "So does Ebony Lord have any suspicion?" Casey continued, "Why is he the only one who


    survived?"


    "Though we don''t know why either, we can be sure that this matter has nothing to do with him. He is


    just a victim." Judge responded.


    "So why doesn''t hee forward and reveal the truth?"


    "Who knows!" Judge shrugged again, "Perhaps it''s because his opponent is too powerful. He''s


    afraid that before he could speak out, he will be silenced!"


    "All right, stop specting here. We''ll find out by asking him directly." At this point, Billy spoke


    thoughtfully. He looked at Judge and asked, "Where is he now?"


    "At the foot of a mountain, four hours away from Ozin, it is said that he has been hiding in that small


    vige for two or three years." Judge responded.


    "He sure knows how to hide!" Billy''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    "Oh, by the way, I haven''t had a chance to report on what happened at Ink Pavilionst time." Judge


    suddenly remembered.


    "Did you get any other useful information?" Billy asked after nodding slightly.


    Ink Pavilion was mysterious to outsiders. Even SHADOW had little information about this


    organization. They finally caught Lady Peony and thus they wanted to find out some information


    from her.


    "There is very little useful information." Judge shook his head. "Ink Pavilion has a unique way of


    managing its members, following the management model of ancient civil and military officials.


    Members are managed along two lines: civil and military. The so-called civil officials are responsible


    for intelligence collection and external business reception, while military officials are professional


    killers."


    "And of course, it doesn''t mean that all the civil officials are not martial artists. It''s just thatpared


    to the military officials, their skills may be slightly inferior."


    "There is strict hierarchical management among members within Ink Pavilion. There is little


    interaction between peers at the same level."


    "Different levels have different ess to information. Even if they''re at the same level but belong to


    different groups within Ink Pavilion, what they know can vary greatly."


    "Lady Peony belongs in the civil line sequence and her position in Ink Pavilion is not very high, she


    only manages external windows in the eastern district."


    "And those staff working at the external windows are non-regr members of Ink Pavilion with even


    more limited knowledge."


    "It truly lives up to its reputation as a killer organization passed down for hundreds of years!" Casey


    couldn''t help but sigh with emotion.


    "Did you get any information of her superiors?" asked Billy.


    "Yes, I''ve got it." Judge nodded. "But it''s just a code name, for a woman named Verdant Bamboo."


    "Lady Peony has very limited information about that woman. She doesn''t have any contact


    information for her since it was always Verdant Bamboo who contacted her."


    "They don''t usuallymunicate through phones like normal people do?" asked Casey.


    "Like SHADOW, their members use special terminal devices provided by Ink Pavilion to


    communicate with each other. It''s difficult for outsiders to track them down." Judge replied.


    "Interesting." Billymented while narrowing his eyes.


    "For now, let''s put that aside. They''ll probablye looking for us soon enough. Let our people


    know to be extra vignt over the next few days."


    SHADOW had destroyed so many of Ink Pavilion''s external windows this time around; they


    definitely wouldn''t give up easily and woulde knocking sooner orter.


    "OK." Judge nodded in agreement.


    At two o''clock that afternoon, the three arrived at their destination - a farmer''s market located at the


    foot of a mountain with several viges nearby, about 12 miles from the nearest city.


    Looking around after getting out of their car, they saw that while not small by any means, there


    weren''t too many people in the market due to being past peak buying hours for groceries.


    ording to Song Toye''s confession statement, the fugitive was now going by Tyrone May and was


    selling something at this farmer''s market.


    "Are you gonna push me into a corner?"


    Just as they were walking towards the meat section area, they heard a slightly tearful female voice


    speak up.
