Chapter 229 The Mastermind

"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!"

"Where is he now?" Judge asked in a deep voice.

"He's just entered a restaurant to have a meal.”

"Send me the address!" Judge said before hanging up the phone immediately.

He then turned to Billy and recounted the situation.

A few minutes later, the three of them were on their way in a car.

In less than half an hour, Stout parked the car outside a restaurant. "Commander, Judge!" As they got out of the car, ten members of SHADOW quickly approached.

“Is he still inside?" Billy inquired.

“Yes, he's sitting by the window in the main hall, dressed in a dark gray Daoist robe."

"You guys stay outside. Don't let anyone in for now." Billy instructed before heading towards the main hall.

Stout and the others spread out.

The man's voice grew somber, and without a second thought, he darted towards the exit, his speed astonishing. 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?
