Brandon couldn't help but panic. On the way there, he asked Damon about Billy's identity. Damon only asked him one question, which made him completely hopeless.
Damon asked him, "How does the Blount family compare to the Watkins, Jimenez and Malcom families?"
Damon's implications were clear enough. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Never had Brandon thought that his son would provoke such a high-level figure. It was going to make the Blount family follow in the footsteps of those three families!
"Are you here to plead for him?" Billy ignored Brandon and looked at Damon calmly.
"I dare not!" Damon trembled all over before quickly speaking up. Then he bowed deeply and said, "I just heard about what happened on your side, so I came to see if you have any orders."
"Tell me, how to handle this matter."
Damon shuddered at Billy's question again. Billy Gardner was already like a god-like figure in his heart now and had saved his life. Naturally, he didn't dare show any disobedience whatsoever.
"Well then, I'll leave it up to you!" Billy spoke calmly.
"Harleen came here for an interview with this company. The young master of the Blount family wanted her as his woman but when Harleen refused him, he forced himself on her. If I hadn't accompanied Harleen today she would have been taken advantage of."
"If you don't take action then I will!"
Brandon took a deep breath. If his son got his way, there wouldn't be any survivors in the Blount family.
"Mr Blount, what are you waiting for? Do you want your family to be wiped out?" Damon took a deep breath and shouted angrily at Brandon.
"Keith... You've been an adult. You have to take responsibility for your own actions. Now that you dared to do something like this, you have to be prepared for all consequences..." Brandon burst into tears and continued, "If... if you don't die, hundreds of people of the Blount family will accompany you in death. Don't blame me. In your next life, try to be a better person."
Brandon knew very well that he had no other choice. Then he picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table and walked shakily towards Keith Blount.
"Dad, what are you doing? I'm your own son! You can't kill me!" Keith was terrified.
The next second, a whole fruit knife plunged into his heart.
A look of extreme pain flashed in Brandon's eyes as he swiftly wielded the knife. After that, the old Blount slumped to the ground like a deflated ball, instantly aging several decades.
"Don't..." Keith shouted hysterically.
"Mr Gardner, Mr Blount did express interest, but I did not agree." Damon quickly replied.
Billy nodded slightly and said, "People are never satisfied and always want more. Throughout history, many ambitious people have died because of their greed."
"I will remember your teachings." Damon respectfully responded.
Five minutes later, Billy, Damon and Ezio walked out of the office building.
"Alright, that's it!" Billy waved his hand and walked towards his car.
Early next morning,
All offline media outlets were dominated by a single headline while online media was flooded with similar news reports.
The news mentioned that Heart of the Earth, the necklace, which was given away for free in Enssea two days ago would be unveiled to the public tomorrow night in Ozin, and there would be no limit on how many people could attend as long as they are interested in it before 8 PM tomorrow night at Ozin Square before Ozin Tower. It had driven countless women crazy who were waiting eagerly for tomorrow without eating or drinking anything until then.
On the other hand, everyone was so curious about who the lucky woman was that could have such good fortune to receive a rare treasure like Heart of the Earth as a proposal gift.
Time passed quickly, and one day flew by in the blink of an eye.
The news also mentioned that this Heart of the Earth would be given as a proposal gift to a beautiful woman. For a moment, all eyes in Ozin City were focused on this matter, with attention skyrocketing.
When Heart of the Earth was exhibited at Enssea Expo, just an invitation alone sold for nearly two million; it was priceless. Furthermore, traffic control had been implemented since morning. Except for special vehicles, no other vehicles were allowed in or out. All companies within this area were given a day off. The controlled area was densely fortified with guards and posts; each guards were standing tall with high spirits.
Starting from 9 AM, people began walking towards this controlled area hoping to get close enough to admire Heart of The Earth up close
What was even more exaggerated than yesterday was that besides newspapers and online media outlets, all local TV stations in Ozin had been continuously broadcasting this news through rolling subtitles since midnight. Moreover, someone noticed that streets in Ozin city were decorated with festive mascots while colorful hot air balloons were fluttering atop top ten ranked buildings.
In addition, around ten kilometers centered on Ozin Tower, thousands large LCD screens sprouted overnight.
Fortunately, SHADOW and War Department of the city jointly deployed several thousand law enforcement personnel so everything remained orderly at scene.
"Dad, Mom, Harleen, hurry up! Billy will be here soon!" Felicia said anxiously at 5:30 PM at home.
Everyone who entered into controlled areas received friendly reminders not to take photos or videos after activities start; furthermore, mobile signals would be blocked until activities end. The purpose of doing so was to prevent Billy's identity from being accidentally leaked.
By late afternoon, several main roads within the restricted area were already packed with people, estimated to be at least in the hundreds of thousands.
"Felicia, why are you in such a hurry? It's still early!" Sharon glared at her impatiently.
"It's already past five o'clock. How is that early? If we're any later, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get in. The venue is probably already packed!" Felicia retorted.
"Billy said there wouldn't be a problem. Why are you still worried? Trust him with everything he does." Fletcher chuckled.
"What if something goes wrong?" Felicia said. "It's better to go early than late. Hurry up! You're driving me crazy!"
