The War God's Homecoming

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 make compensation within a reasonable range. We can accept it." She added.

"Do you think everything can be solved with money?" Billy laughed and continued, "You overestimate the power of money and underestimate SHADOW. If everyone who commits 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 and composed. This was also an important reason why her family chose her to come 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 flashing with a strong sense of frustration. This was the second time she had been rejected by Billy. The last 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 young lady from the Ryan family, being rejected twice in a row by a man naturally made her feel uncomfortable.
