Early in the morning, King company headquarters had begun business operations. Since King partnered with the Ronney Group, their office was also located inside the Ronney Group’s headquarters in Cethos. The previously well-known L/K and Ido were also running their businesses there.
As soon as they started their work day, however, a swarm of police arrived downstairs and surrounded the entire building. They sealed off the scene and stopped anyone from entering or leaving while a group of police officers rushed in.
Sandra had gone to work early that day and was not expecting to see so many police officers.
No, don’t tell me… This can’t be!
The twins were not at the Yard Group today, so Sandra hurried to the lobby to greet the police. Billy also rushed out to observe the situation.
When they got to the lobby, they did not expect to see Sophia with a group of police officers coming onto them aggressively. The police also had a young foreigner in their hands. It was one of the hitmen Billy had sent out to kill Ivan.
The moment Sophia saw Billy and Sandra, she yelled, “It’s him, Mr. Policeman! He’s Billy, the one who hired the hitmen!”
The foreigner also became worked up when he saw Billy.
The last surviving person in black from last night would not open his mouth in spite of everything. He kept insisting that it was done out of a personal grudge. But, the person standing in front of them now was the mastermind behind everything.
Since none of them were free from guilt, the foreigner planned to drag Billy down with him and force Billy to tell them the truth about the attempted murder.
Billy was scared out of his wits when he caught sight of the guy. Once the police spotted him, they took him away in handcuffs in front of everyone.
In an instant, the police cleared off and left without a trace. Flustered, Sandra quickly followed after them.
“Idiot,” Sophia cursed from behind her.
Turning around, Sandra glared at Sophia, who had her hands crossed in front of her chest.
Sandra did not think that she would get caught this time.
Still, she kept her nose in the air. “Sophia, do you think you can take me down by targeting Billy? In your dreams!”
She was the one who hired those people.
She was not as foolish as Billy to use her own people.
Those people were part of a foreign killer gang. They charged a high price and were very tight-lipped. Even if they got caught, they would not expose their clients and would rather have their people go to prison.
Moreover, they were of foreign nationality. If things went wrong, it would lead to an international dispute.
The Bayside City Police would not dare to touch them either.
Nonetheless, it was a losing battle for Billy this time.
What’s the big deal with losing Billy? We still have millions of other Billys!
Sandra stormed off. Sophia couldn’t help but chuckle as she watched her from behind.
Back at the Edwards Residence, Lucy had just received news on the matter.
Billy… That idiot!
At this point, it was certain that he hired those hitmen. It was not going to be easy to get him out now, and Lucy did not want to either.
No, there’s still a way to get him out. But, those two gangs were very daring to draw out their guns on Bayside City’s airport highway. Were they eager to get themselves killed?
A standoff that involved firearms was often seen overseas, but in Bayside City, it would cause a major security issue; one that was enough to garner the attention of the higher ups.
Apparently, Joel was personally handling this matter.
How interesting…
All of a sudden, it dawned on Lucy that they had still fallen into Sophia’s trap.
She had kept watch on them in the dark all this time and waited for their reaction.
