The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 518 What They Deserve

"So, you instructed Archibald Harding to target SunPark Group and lure my boss to the capital?" After the introductions were finished, Stout looked at Pop Harding and spoke with a cold tone.

"We wanted to meet with King of the West, but it wasn't easy, so we had to resort to this plan. I hope you can understand, Commander Gardner." Pop Harding replied, ignoring Stout and addressing Billy.

"Bold move, at least you're admitting it," Stout continued, "But you won't have the chance to meet your cousin."

"What?" Pop's face darkened upon hearing Stout's words. Then, he turned to Billy and asked, "Did you kill him?"

"Otherwise?" Billy replied indifferently.

"Damn it!" Pop exhaled heavily, his face filled with anger.

"Do you want to do it yourself, or shall I help you?" Billy asked again.

Pop Harding took a deep breath. "Commander Gardner, you're too full of yourself, boasting as if you're a once-in-a-millennium genius of Glavale. You're self-absorbed, thinking that there's no one above you. But you have a limited view of the world. You don't understand how vast this world truly is."

"The saying goes that there are people better than you, and there are heavens beyond heavens. This world is full of people more powerful than you, and you..."

"You're truly naive!" Stout couldn't stand listening to his words any longer.

"Your words are quite excessive." Greg Harding, who was silent until now, interjected. He raised his hand, and a fierce palm strike was aimed at Stout, who was near.

Bang!

However, before the palm strike reached Stout, Billy effortlessly dissipated the attack. Greg Harding was forced to retreat seven or eight steps, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. "If you move again, you'll die!" Billy said.

"Greg!" Pop Harding called to a halt. Then, in a commanding tone, he turned to Billy and continued, "Commander Gardner, I won't waste words with you. Someone wants to see you. Come with us!"

His tone was far from casual. When someone wanted to see Billy, it meant Billy needed to make a special trip to meet them. In all of Glavale, there were only a few individuals with such qualifications, and clearly, the person Pop Harding was referring to wasn't among them.

"Harleen, I'll take you back to the company first." Billy naturally wouldn't pay attention to him and said to his wife with a faint smile.

To Billy, today's matter wouldn't end here. However, it wasn't convenient to escalate the situation further, especially when he had Harleen, Stout, Night Orchid, and Brigham Bush by his side, not to mention the other SHADOW members. If a conflict were to break out with these five individuals, he couldn't guarantee everyone's safety.

"Alright!" Harleen nodded.

Then, Billy led Harleen to a nearby Land Rover, with Stout and Night Orchid following closely.

"What?" Pop Harding had never been so blatantly ignored in his life, and he felt a coldness welling up. He then raised his hand and ordered, "Stop him!"

Whoosh!

The other four men simultaneously moved, blocking Billy about fifty to sixty meters away. They stood firm, their expressions serious.

"Commander Gardner, I advise you not to make things difficult for us," Pop Harding said in a deep voice, "If you come with us to meet someone, these three can safely leave. Otherwise, it'll be a matter of life o death."

"Boss, from the looks of it, they won't back down unless we kill a few. How about we just kill them all before we go?" Stout suggested.

"What a fool!" Crane Leonard sneered, "To think that someone who hasn't even reached the God-Emperor stage would try to kill the five of us together? That's just a pipe dream."

"You really are as much of a fool as your sister." Stout once again found himself speechless. Based on his understanding of Billy, these five individuals before him, even if they teamed up, probably wouldn't even be a challenge for him.

Stout had no idea where Crane Leonard's confidence came from.

"If you say one more word, I'll send you off first." Crane said, looking at Stout angrily.

"Are you eager to take revenge for your clan?" Billy interrupted, "I'll give you a chance. If you can hold your ground against me for one round, I'll sever one of my arms. How about it?"

"Darling, no!" Harleen immediately shouted, her face filled with worry.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine!" Night Orchid reassured Harleen, knowing very well the strength of Billy. Crane Leonard hadn't even reached the pseudo-God-Emperor stage, let alone hold his ground for one round. "Are you serious?" Crane Leonard's eyes lit up.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"I don't make empty promises." Billy replied.

"Four of you, please bear witness." Crane Leonard said with a serious expression to Pop Harding and the others.

"Once a round is over, if he doesn't sever his arm, please help me finish him off!"

Though Crane Leonard knew he

might not be Billy's match, he had the utmost confidence that he could. hold his own against him. Both of them were at the half-step War

God-Emperor stage, and in his kinet

he was unrivaled among those of the same level. Though Billy was exceptionally talented, Crane believed that they were at least evenly matched. If Billy severed an arm, Crane Leonard would have a chance to take his life at any time in the future.

"Commander Gardner, are you sure about this?" Pop Harding hesitated briefly and then turned to Billy, though he wanted to seriously harm Billy. After a brief pause, he continued, "Even though there is a decree of the Ether Mountain that War God-Emperor Realm experts are not allowed to attack those below the God-Emperor Realm But if you lose and refuse to fulfill your end of the bargain, according to the Ether Mountain's laws, we have the right to take action against you. You should be well aware of this!"

"Night Orchid, give me your saber!" Billy glanced at the other group and then said.

"Sure!" Night Orchid handed her Cold Moon Saber to Billy.

"Stout, take Night Orchid and Harleen and get in the car!" After taking the curved saber, Billy instructed.

"Understood!" Stout nodded in acknowledgment

"Billy, be careful!" Harleen didn't insist further. She knew that staying would only be a hindrance.

"Don't worry!" Billy smiled and reassured her.

Then, Stout led the two of them towards the car. The other group didn't try to stop them.

"Is this your choice? You'll be

responsible for the consequences." Crane Leonard said as he drew his sword from his waist. While speaking, he took several steps forward, and a powerful aura radiated from his body, enveloping the surrounding area.

Pop Harding and the others simultaneously moved, positioning themselves in different directions-east, south, west, and north-forming a circle around Billy and Crane Leonard.

"Go ahead!" Crane Leonard took a few steps forward, raised his sword, and shouted.

"Sword Through the Void!"
