Chapter 234 The Culprit

"Rose!" Upon seeing the woman, Black Panther and his companions all bowed respectfully, showing an unusually deferential attitude.

"I apologize for the behavior of my subordinates, sirs. Please forgive us,” Rose's gaze lingered on Billy for a moment before she smiled gracefully. At the same time, she was slightly surprised. She couldn't sense any martial aura from any of the three individuals, wondering whether all of the three were above her in strength. Moreover, she felt an unprecedented aura of power from Billy. It was stronger than any dignitary she had encountered before.

"You should be able to tell me where Derek Hines is." Billy said. "Hmm?" Hearing this, the pupils of Rose, Black Panther, and the old man all slightly contracted.
