Chapter 182 Departure For The Capital


    Chapter 182 Departure for the Capital


    "I... I''m worried that we''ve been working with Sakura Blossom Trading Company for so long, there


    may be some unintentional mistakes along the way, so..." Audrey Ryan took another deep breath


    before continuing.


    "As long as Mr Gardner can give us some leeway, the Pan family is willing to makepensation


    within a reasonable range. We can ept it." She added.


    "Do you think everything can be solved with money?" Billyughed and continued, "You


    overestimate the power of money and underestimate SHADOW. If everyone whomits a crime


    could redeem themselves with money, SHADOW would have no reason to exist."


    "Mr Gardner, I... I didn''t mean that. I..." Audrey Ryan spoke anxiously.


    She didn''t know why she felt such great pressure in front of Billy. Normally she was a very confident


    woman and even when facing some big shots in her daily interactions with those elite figures in


    Enssea she could remain calm andposed. This was also an important reason why her family


    chose her toe to Ozin.


    But in front of Billy, Audrey felt an invisible pressure that made her incredibly nervous as if anything


    she said would have loopholes all over it.


    "Alright!" Billy interrupted her words. "Go back and tell your father that SHADOW has rules for


    handling things and won''t deliberately target anyone. If there isn''t any problem with your family, he


    doesn''t need to panic!"


    "Of course, if your family is involved in any wrongdoing on this matter, tell him that he shouldn''t


    waste time looking for someone else! Because finding anyone else will be useless!"


    After speaking, Billy stood up and walked towards the door.


    "Mr Gardner..." Audrey Ryan had a hesitant tone since she didn''t know how to express it properly.


    "Anything else?" Billy turned and asked.


    "Um... excuse me, are you free tonight? Can I invite you to dinner?" Audrey Ryan took a deep


    breath and spoke again.


    "Next time!" Billy''s voice fell, and he was already outside the door.


    Audrey Ryan exhaled heavily, her eyes shing with a strong sense of frustration. This was the


    second time she had been rejected by Billy. Thest time was at that exhibition center when she


    asked for his phone number. He didn''t give it to her and told her to find Derek Hines if she had any


    business with him. This time, she took the initiative to invite him for dinner but was rejected again.


    As a youngdy from the Ryan family, being rejected twice in a row by a man naturally made her


    feel ufortable.


    "Missy, did he leave?" The old man who had been there before walked in. "What did he say? Did he


    agree to release Mr Ryan?"


    "He didn''t say anything!" Audrey Ryan shook her head.


    "He didn''t say anything?" The old man slightly stunned. "Then... then what about Mr Ryan..."


    "Don''t worry!" Audrey Ryan interrupted him, "He will be fine. I trust Mr Gardner and I trust


    SHADOW!"

    One of the purposes of representing the Ryan family in visiting Ozin was to see what kind of person


    Billy really was, and now she had seen it. Although this was only their second meeting with each


    other, she believed in herself that Billy wasn''t someone who would bend or breakws for personal


    gain. As long as her family didn''t have any intention of betraying the country, there wouldn''t be any


    major issues.


    "Stephen, find out what his position is in SHADOW." Said Audrey Ryan after a moment of


    contemtion.


    "Got it!" the old man nodded.


    Meanwhile, Billy had arrived in the lobby and pulled out his phone to call Harleen. She was just


    getting off work and told him to wait for her in the lobby.


    "So you finished talking with that beautifuldy so quickly?" Harleen asked as she walked towards


    him from the elevator and linked arms with him on their way to the parking lot.


    "She came all this way from Enssea just to see you. Why don''t you take her out for dinner or


    something?" Harleen teased.


    "Well..." Billy hesitated. "Harleen, this is only our second time meeting. We''re not even friends yet."


    "Is that so?" Harleen looked at Billy thoughtfully. "For you, maybe she''s not even a friend yet, but for


    her it might mean more than that. As another woman, I can read between the lines."


    "You think too much," Billy chuckled lightly.


    "Trust me, my intuition is never wrong," Harleen smiled before changing topics. "She should be the


    heiress of the Ryan family in Enssea, right? She came because of her brother''s recent incident?"


    With her intelligence, Harleen had already guessed as much when she heard where Audrey Ryan


    was from earlier on.


    "Mhm," Billy nodded in agreement.


    "What does her family think now? Are they going to seek revenge for their young master?" Harleen


    continued to ask.


    "Nope!" Billy shook his head with a smile. "She came to apologize on behalf of the Ryan family, and


    everything is fine now."


    "Really?" Harleen asked again.


    "Of course it''s true. Do you think I would lie to you?" Billy chuckled.


    "That''s good then!" Harleen responded with a smile. "Since my husband did well today, I''ll treat you


    to a fancy dinner. I already told my parents to take Tasha out for dinner first, so they don''t have to


    wait for us. Tonight will be just the two of us."


    "Haha, sounds great!" Billyughed in response.


    Two minutester, they drove off together.


    ...


    That day in Ozin was sunny and cloudless. Today was the first time in years that Billy had set foot in


    the capital city, even though he had been crowned King of the West three years ago. But today he


    was going there to clear Ebony Lord''s name. Besides, he nned on capturing the most wanted


    criminal for SHADOW. Of course, only Billy knew if there were any other motives behind his actions.


    Regardless of his intentions though, this day was destined not be an ordinary one.


    At 9 AM, eight people boarded a private ne of SHADOW. Only the master of SHADOW or those


    authorized by him were eligible for such privilege.


    This was the first time Billy had climbed aboard the stairs of this ne since bing the leader.


    Usually, when he needed to fly, there was always a ne on standby from the military department.


    Roderick Chasey had already prepared a private jet for him, but he refused it.


    This time, as the master of SHADOW, it was more meaningful for him to take this flight into the


    capital city.


    Before leaving, Roderick Chasey brought a thousand soldiers in uniform to see him off and


    repeatedly reminded Billy not to be too impulsive once he arrived in the capital city.


    He knew very well that Billy would encounter many obstacles on this trip. But at the same time,


    Roderick knew that with Billy''s personality, even if he knew there were hell and high water ahead of


    him, he would still go forward without hesitation.


    So besides trying his best to persuade him otherwise, there was nothing else Roderick could do.


    At 9:15 AM sharp, the ne with "SHADOW" printed on it soared into the sky like lightning towards


    its destination, the capital city.
