The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379 What Is Despair?

This time, Commander Gardner's identity was confirmed by Alger Shelton. Who else could make Bob Stokes call them "boss" besides that legendary figure?

After taking a deep breath, Alger hurried to Billy's side and bowed deeply.

"Your humble servant, Alger Shelton, was unaware of Commander Gardner's presence earlier and may have offended you. Please accept my apologies, Commander Gardner!" he began. As he spoke, he trembled slightly. He couldn't believe he had the audacity to lecture the King of the West earlier. It was truly a humbling experience. Besides, there was even more speculation about Azure Dragon's identity in him.

Hearing Alger's words, there were gasps of astonishment. Even Helen Greenwood and her son were trembling uncontrollably, their faces filled with terror. They had just realized that this man was the one who had humiliated several prominent families. They had foolishly contemplated letting the Greenwood family to avenge them, and now they saw how misguided that would have been.

"Why are you here?" Billy looked at Bob Stokes and smiled.

"I made an appointment with General Wilson to come here together to support Azure Dragon!" Bob grinned.

"What do you mean?" Billy asked. At the same time, he had a hunch about what was happening.

"You'll find out in a moment." Bob grinned again.

"Azure Dragon, is Mr Gardner... that Commander Gardner?" Alana, holding Azure Dragon's hand, was shivering even more. Even though she wasn't well-versed in current affairs, Commander Gardner's name was well-known within their territory.

"Yes," Azure Dragon replied with a slight smile.

"Commander Gardner is your boss, so what... who are you exactly?" Alana continued to ask.

"I... I am..." Azure Dragon scratched his head.

Footsteps sounded at the door once more, and then Cole Wilson led a group of war department personnel into the room.

Alger Shelton felt like his heart was about to burst. These high-ranking figures, who usually held themselves above others, were visiting his estate one after another. Without time to contemplate further, he quickly approached and respectfully said, "It's a great honor to meet you here, General Wilson."

"It's nice to finally meet you, Mr Shelton."

"General Wilson, please help us seek justice..." Helen and her son seemed to have glimpsed a glimmer of hope.

"My brother was killed by SHADOW, and we hope you'll bring justice..." Helen Greenwood pleaded.

"Those who do wrong will eventually pay the price. If they killed, they will be killed." Cole Wilson replied indifferently.

"What?!" The mother and son were crestfallen.

"General Wilson!" Bob Stokes walked up to him and said. "I told you I'd get here before you did!"

"Haha, you're quite fast!" Cole replied with a smile. The two of them had clearly planned this.

"General Wilson," Billy greeted him with a smile.

"Commander Gardner!" Cole Wilson replied.

"General Wilson, are you here for a reason?" Alger took a deep breath and asked.

"Mr Shelton, you've found yourself an excellent son-in-law." Cole said.

"What... what do you mean by that?"

Helen Greenwood and her son both slumped to the ground, their faces filled with despair.

"Mr Azure Dragon, I didn't know your identity before, and I apologize for any offense caused." Alger Shelton took a deep breath and approached Azure Dragon. As he spoke, he attempted to bow and show respect but was lifted up by Azure Dragon.

"Mr Shelton, you're embarrassing me." Azure Dragon replied. "It should be me apologizing for not disclosing my identity earlier. Please forgive me."

After speaking, he turned to Alana who was still stunned and said, "Alana, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that you never asked, and I..."

"You big liar! I don't want to talk to you!" Without waiting for Azure Dragon to finish, Alana gave him a glare and then ran off towards a nearby villa.

Azure Dragon stood there, stunned.

"What are you waiting for? Go after her!" Night Orchid reminded him in a bemused tone.

"Oh!" Azure Dragon quickly followed her.

"Alas... with his emotional intelligence, how can boss trust him?" Stout commented in a knowing tone.

Night Orchid stifled a laugh. "Stout, have you ever been in love?"

"Does a childhood crush count?" Stout replied solemnly. "When I was a kid, I secretly had a crush on an older female disciple. I was ten years old when she left Secret Essences, and I was heartbroken..."

"Hahaha...!"

Billy and the others were all amused by his story.
