“Assholes! Who the hell are you guys?” Shawn Pierce furrowed his brow and red at Billy and his twopanions. “How dare youe here and act recklessly? You must have a death wish!”


    “You’re Shawn Pierce, right? Not bad, after all these years on the run, you still have the guts toe back to Ozin.” Judge squinted slightly.


    “Who are you?” Shawn Pierce was rendered alert by Judge’s words.


    “We’ll talk about your businesster,” Billy said, sweeping his gaze over Song Toye before turning to Mark Pierce. “I heard that the Pierce family can do whatever they want in Ozin, even if you kill someone no one can touch you.”


    “Do you have a problem with that?” Mark Pierce furrowed his brow. “You think highly of yourself.”


    “If I told you I had the power to decide the fate of your son, do you believe it?” asked Billy.


    Mark snorted coldly and said, “Ignorance breeds fearlessness. I’d like to see how you decide his fate!”


    “You’ll see soon enough,” Billy smiled faintly and turned to Judge with a serious tone. “Read out Alec Pierce’s main charges!”


    “Yes, sir!” Judge nodded vigorously.


    “At eighteen, he, along with his aplices, bullied two female ssmates, resulting in one of them tragicallymitting suicide, while the other suffered severe mental distress.”


    “At twenty, he was involved in a drunk driving ident, causing a serious traffic collision that resulted in three deaths and one injury, including a pregnant woman.”


    “At twenty-two, due to jealousy and envy, he led a group of people to beat someone into a vegetative state.”


    “…”


    Judge read out a list of eight serious crimesmitted by Alec Pierce all at once.


    Mark Pierce furrowed his brow. He didn’t expect that Judge would know these things so clearly. He had a vague sense of unease and felt that they were well-prepared.


    “Mr Pierce, do you have anything else to add?” Billy continued, looking towards Mark Pierce and speaking in a calm tone.


    Mark Pierce took a deep breath and coldly snorted again, “Even if you know, what can you do? The police can’t control me. Who do you think you are?”


    “In that case, do you acknowledge these charges against him?” Billy asked again in a calm tone.


    “Each of the crimesmitted by your son could have resulted in a life sentence, yet until today he was living well as an innocent person. Your family is truly impressive!”


    “Kid, I don’t have time to waste with you here. If you’re capable, try touching my son!” Mark Pierce threatened angrily.


    “Alright!” Billy then turned to looked at Judge and asked, “How should we punish him ording to thew?”


    “The death penalty!”


    “Then kill him!” Billy replied.


    “Yes, sir!” A SHADOW guard stepped forwards and wielded his de.


    “No!” Alec Pierce’s ghost eximed with fear.


    “You dare!” Shawn Pierce roared, his figure quickly shing out.


    Just as his figure had covered only half the distance, the glimmer of the de had already shed past Alec Pierce’s neck.


    Alec Pierce opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word. His legs gave out and he lost his breath. His eyes widened. Until that moment of death, he could hardly believe that he had died just like that. If only he had known, he wouldn’t have provoked them this morning. In just a few hours, he bid farewell to this colorful world forever.


    “Alec…” Alec Pierce’s wife eximed in shock and fainted directly.


    “Alec!” Bother Mark and Shawn cried out.


    On the side, Song Toye and the others were equally shocked, never expecting that they would dare to kill Alec Pierce in front of them.


    “You scoundrels! I’m going to kill you! I will definitely kill you!” In the next moment, Mark Pierce’s eyes filled with ferocity. “Guards, hurry,e and kill them for me!”


    A sudden sound of hurried footsteps arose, and around three hundred men wielding knives and sticks rushed towards Billy and hispanions with a menacing air. The leaders among them exuded a strong aura, clearly indicating that they were martial artists.


    “Hoe dare you kill the young master!” Just as they was about to rush to the three of them, the leading man roared angrily and swung hisrge knife swiftly towards Billy.


    Ten SHADOWds on the side swiftly darted toward the opposing crowd. Simultaneously, their wrists kept flipping, and the cold-crescent curved knives in their hands released sharp de glimmers, shing fiercely.


    The next moment, the square echoed with countless hysterical screams as one after another figure copsed to the ground.


    In less than five minutes, all three hundred men had fallen, each one writhing in pain on the ground.


    Mark Pierce and his brother simultaneously cried out in grief.


    “Are you people from SHADOW?” Song Toye furrowed his brows as he carefully examined the curved knives held by the ten SHADOWds


    “What!?”


    Upon hearing his words, the Pierce brothers shuddered all over, their legs going weak, and they almost copsed. The overwhelming anger in their hearts waspletely extinguished in an instant by the word “SHADOW”. Although they had never dealt with SHADOW, they had heard of this name before. They finally knew why Judge could master so many charges against Alec Pierce. With the power of SHADOW, it was too easy to find this information.


    Moreover, the Pierce brothers felt a sense of despair as they thought about what their family had done over the years. Even with their sky-high energy in Ozin, it seemed like they were no match for SHADOW. Those people whom they relied on probably would turn them down with the slightest hesitation if they knew that it was SHADOW who was handling things. How could they possibly stand up for the Pierce family on their behalf?


    “Alright, let’s settle your debt now!” Billy turned to Shawn Pierce and spoke.


    “Three years ago, you wiped out an entire family of five. You can’t deny that.” Billy said.


    “What… what do you want?” Shawn Pierce took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.


    Although SHADOW made him wary, he wasn’t at the point where he would give up without a fight. After all, he was a Battle Master. Besides, he had officially joined Crimson Shade Sect and Song Toye was right beside him. If there was going to be a conflict, who knew who woulde out on top?


    “What do you think?” Billy squinted slightly as he looked at Shawn Pierce. “Are you going to kill yourself or do you need SHADOW’s help?”


    “Hmph!” Shawn Pierce took another deep breath before speaking again, “I admit that SHADOW is strong, but do you think I’m afraid of you?”Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Well well well! From what you’re saying it seems like you still have some backup?” Billyughed lightly. “I’m guessing these four people around you are your backup?”


    “Sir, I’m Song Toye from Crimson Shade Sect. Shawn Pierce has officially joined our sect. Can we let this go? I am grateful beyond words.”


    Although Song Toye feared the name of SHADOW, he was still a leader in Crimson Shade Sect and he had to speak up. If he was scared off by just that name, it would be too embarrassing for him. After all, even if he was facing someone from SHADOW, with his strength as a Battle General, Song believed that there was still hope for victory.


    “Crimson Shade Sect?” Billy turned to Judge and asked, “Have you heard of it?”
