“Someone’s had enough of living!” Billy briefly explained Joel Greenwood’s situation.
“These people are really asking for trouble!” White Tiger also frowned.
The SHADOW brothers acted efficiently, and in less than three minutes, Night Orchid’s phone received a notification.
“We found him. He’s in a mansion under the name of the Greenwood family.” Night Orchid said after checking her phone.
“Brigham, drive!” Billy said in a solemn tone.
“Yes!” Brigham Bush responded loudly, taking the phone from Night Orchid to check the address before stepping on the gas.
“Night Orchid, inform the nearby brothers to go there immediately.” Billy continued to instruct. “Tell the brothers that if they encounter strong enemies, don’t expose themselves, just keep an eye on them!”
“Yes, boss!” Night Orchid nodded vigorously.
The mansion was located in the eastern suburbs of the city. Despite Brigham Bush driving at full speed, it took almost half an hour to reach the destination.
“Commander!”
After getting off the car, four SHADOW guards quickly approached.
“How’s it going? Any discoveries?” Billy nodded slightly and asked.
“It’s not looking good. When we arrived, there was no movement. After entering the mansion, including Joel Greenwood, about fifty or sixty people were all killed.”
“There are no clues at the scene, and the surrounding surveillance has been destroyed.”
“Let’s go in and take a look!” Billy furrowed his brows, then walked towards the mansion.
Inside the mansion, dozens of bodies lay scattered on the square, each with its throat cut.
“Commander, Joel Greenwood is in the main hall of that villa.” One of the SHADOW guards pointed to a villa on the right.
Billy nodded slightly and walked towards the villa. Upon reaching the entrance of the villa, they immediately saw Joel Greenwood lying motionless in the center of the hall. The entire hall and several rooms had been turned upside down, including Joel’s clothes, indicating that he had been searched. After entering the villa, Night Orchid, White Tiger, and Rakshasa dispersed and carefully inspected the hall and various rooms, but found no discoveries.
“Boss, with the place turned upside down like this, is it possible that they haven’t found the list yet?” Night Orchid asked after a while.
“It’s possible!” Billy had a pensive expression.
“If they came for the list, why didn’t they force Joel Greenwood to reveal it before killing him?” Rakshasa, looking somewhat puzzled, asked.
“There’s only one possibility,” Night Orchid continued after some thought. “Perhaps, before they had a chance to interrogate him, Joel Greenwood committed suicide.”
“Why would he commit suicide?” Stout couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s simple!” Night Orchid continued, “He is very aware that the list he collected involves the life and death of a group of people.”
“Even if he hands over the list, they won’t spare his life, because no one can guarantee that he won’t draft another list again. So, for him, suicide is the only choice. This way, it may not involve other people from the Greenwood family!”
“Alright.” Stout shrugged.
“Stout, see if there’s any chance of saving him!” Billy said after a while.
Stout was slightly stunned, but without much hesitation, he walked up to Joel Greenwood and turned the body over. Looking at it, they saw Joel Greenwood with closed eyes, pale face, and a large amount of fresh blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
“Boss, he probably shattered his meridians and died by himself. I’m afraid…” Stout roughly checked Joel Greenwood’s condition and said. However, as he spoke halfway, he stopped, raised his eyebrows slightly, and pressed his hand on Joel Greenwood’s chest. After a while, he looked up at Billy. “Boss, he still has a faint breath. I’m about 30-40% sure I can save him!”
“You and a few brothers take him back to SHADOW and use the Nine Needles of Secret Essences to help him survive.” Billy nodded and said.
He had just released his spiritual power to probe Joel Greenwood’s situation, vaguely sensing a trace of vitality on Joel Greenwood, which was why he asked Stout to check.
“Understood!” Stout nodded in response.
“We’re going to the Greenwood’s!” Billy then turned to Night Orchid and the others and said before turning quickly towards the door.
Night Orchid, White Tiger, and Rakshasa, after a moment of hesitation, seemed to have realized something and immediately followed. If the other party hadn’t found the list here, there was a ninety percent chance they would go to the Greenwood family mansion.
As expected, as Billy and the others rushed there, four men and women appeared at the gate of the Greenwood family mansion. Wearing identical Daoist robes and masks, their auras indicated that none of them were ordinary martial artists. The weakest among them had already reached the War God-Emperor realm.
“Who are you people?” At the gate of the mansion, five or six guards surrounded the four individuals. “This is the Greenwood family mansion. If you don’t want trouble, leave immediately…” A man who looked like a small leader frowned and shouted at the four.
Before he could finish his words, a blade aura flashed, and a head soared into the sky, blood spraying like a fountain.
“Hmm?!” The other five guards were filled with horror, shivering all over, and without any hesitation, they turned and ran towards the mansion.
“Help, come help, powerful intruders!” One of the men shouted loudly while running.
The four of them had not run a hundred meters when blade auras flashed again, just like the previous person, all of them were beheaded, and their bodies fell straight to the ground.
“Rascals, who are you?” At the same time, four to five hundred people rushed out from various directions in the mansion. One of the elders, who was ranked in the top three in the Greenwood family, glared at the four and angrily asked. Speaking, he involuntarily showed a trace of fear in his eyes. As a half-step War God-Emperor, he unexpectedly couldn’t sense the aura of any of the four people. Obviously, all four of them were at least in the War God-Emperor realm.
“You have one minute. Bring out Halbert Greenwood, or all of you will die!” A black-robed elder from the four said coldly.
The person he mentioned was the current head of the Greenwood family.
“Who are you people, and what business do you have with the master?” A middle-aged man pointed at the four and said.
“Thirty seconds!” The black-robed elder ignored the man and continued in a cold voice.
“Hmm?!” The middle-aged man frowned. “Do you think this is a place where anyone can be insolent?”
He also couldn’t sense the strength of the four, but because he was only at the level of a War Grandmaster himself, he didn’t feel that the four were terrifying. After all, this was the mansion of the Greenwood family, and there were real War God-Emperors here.
“Too much nonsense!” Another gray-robed elder said coldly. Then, with a flick of his wrist, a blade aura slashed out like lightning.
