"We've screened Ashton Erickson's call records and identified thirty suspicious numbers." A SHADOW guard reported over the phone.

"We found one out-of-town number's owner to be highly suspicious. Plus, he emits an unusual herbal scent. He's the person we've been looking for!"

He knew his expertise in poison was mere child's play in the eyes of his pursuer. Remaining was a certain death sentence. However, what chance did a Battle General of his level have against escaping from Billy's grasp?
