The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 The Tip of the Iceberg

"Do you have confidence?" Billy asked.

"As long as Commander Gardner is determined, I will do my best and die trying!" Spike Arnold nodded vigorously.

"Good!" Billy nodded. "After returning from the capital, you will focus on this task with all your heart. I'll give you three months to make sure that SHADOW's water is crystal clear!"

"I promise to complete the mission!" Spike Arnold saluted in response.

As soon as he finished his words, Spike sensed two extremely terrifying pressures sweeping towards them.

"Arrived pretty quickly, huh?" Billy laughed lightly and stood up from his seat.

In no time, two figures appeared like ghosts about a hundred meters away from them - one tall and one short.

The taller man looked like he was under forty years old with delicate hands and skin as smooth as jade. His facial features were even more refined than those of an average woman's - a very handsome man indeed.

The man beside him had rough features with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He had a burly build carrying a large sword of God of War on his shoulder, exuding an intense bloodthirsty aura.

As reported by Rakshasa earlier, both men were powerful fighters. The handsome man was already a True Master Warlord while the other was a Grand Elder Warlord.

"I've heard that Commander Gardner in Glavale is an extraordinarily handsome man, today I see it for myself." Said the taller man, who was known as Ethereal Scribe.

"Really?" Billy laughed lightly. "You surprised me too. I never expected the Ebon Gate Master to be such a beautiful man!"

"What did you say?" asked the other man, who was the deputy gate master.

"It's nothing!" Ethereal Scribe stopped him and smiled. "It's an honor to receive Commander Gardner's praise."

As he spoke, he walked towards Billy and Spike Arnold, glancing at Spike along the way.

"Commander Gardner, I actually underestimated the people around you. I didn't expect there to be another Warlord besides you in Ozin. It looks like our intelligence system has a big problem!"

"Are you scared?" Billy smiled faintly again.

"You're joking, right?" Ethereal Scribe laughed before changing the subject, "Commander Gardner, you should know why I came this time, shouldn't you?"

"I don't know. Why don't you tell me?" Billy responded indifferently.

"People like Devil of Blood can be killed without causing too much trouble for you," Ethereal Scribe continued speaking. "But killing an envoy from Place of Darkness is something that shouldn't be done under any circumstances, because if we don't come today, other forces will come for you tomorrow! The authority of Sanctum of Darkness cannot be challenged by anyone else, so you made a huge mistake!"

"Is that so?" Billy took a puff of his cigarette and asked, "Do you know what mistake you made?"

"Do you want to say that I shouldn't have taken on this task and traveled all this way just to die in Glavale?" Ethereal Scribe asked and smiled in response.

"You're smarter than I thought," Billy exhaled smoke rings with a faint smile on his lips.

As he spoke, he released a terrifying pressure and quickly enveloped Spike Arnold.

Billy casually waved his hand and dissipated the other's momentum before turning to speak calmly to him.

"If you say another word, I'll send you to meet your four Great Ghost Kings first."

Upon hearing Billy's words, Ethereal Scribe frowned slightly.

"Oh right, maybe you don't know yet," Billy turned towards Ethereal Scribe. "Of all the people Ebon Gate sent to Glavale this time around, only two are still alive, both of them are standing here right now. Everyone else has become true ghosts."

"What do you mean?" Ethereal Scribe's face was no longer carefree and light-hearted as before.

"Didn't your intelligence system have major problems before?" Billy smiled faintly. "Congratulations on getting it right, ten points for you! All the people who came with you this time have been killed by us except for the two of you."

"Shameless boasting!" The deputy head of Ebon Gate snorted coldly. "Other than you, who else can kill the four ghost kings?"

"Don't believe me?" Billy smirked. "You'll soon believe it!"

Just as Billy finished speaking, black shadows flew from around the lawn. Then, they all fell around the four of them with a dull thud. These shadows were none other than the group led by Ebon Gate's four ghost kings.

Without exception, they were already dead.
