The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 465

Chapter 465 Another Trouble

"So, why did he come here?" Stout looked puzzled.

"Boss, is he worried that you might have a conflict with Gavin Grimes, so he came specially?" Azure Fang asked after some thought.

"Yes!" Billy nodded again. "Including the incident where he called to plead on behalf of Sheila Harvey last time, it was all for the same reason."

"What do you mean?" Stout scratched his head.

"That time, Frank Harvey called Andre Cato and made up a reason for him to relay a message to Gavin Grimes, asking Gavin for help." Billy explained after placing down his teacup. "When Gavin Grimes got wind of this, instead of calling me directly, he called General Wilson to intervene. So, General Wilson doesn't even know why I decided to execute Sheila Harvey that time."

"Alright!" Stout finally grasped the general idea. He picked up his teacup and took a sip before muttering, "I feel like General Wilson holds him in high regard."

Azure Fang choked on his drink.

"Stout, there's something you might not know." Azure Fang chuckled.

"What is it?" Stout asked, slightly puzzled.

"The head of the Grimes family is one of the Third Elder of the War Department."

"Ah?" Stout exclaimed in surprise. "Really?"

"Yeah."

"No wonder," Stout said with a relieved expression. "No wonder General Wilson is willing to run errands. He's just trying to curry favor, huh?"

Azure Fang choked on his saliva.

"Stout, if you don't speak, no one will mistake you for a mute!" Billy scolded him irritably.

"That's right! I admit I misjudged him!" Stout pouted.

"Stout, you're underestimating General Wilson!" Azure Fang added. "General Wilson intervened in this matter to prevent any strain on the relationship between boss and the Third Elder of the War Department. After all, a few months later, boss will be stationed in the capital city, and any discord between them would affect their work."

"In the beginning, some people in the capital even suggested that Gavin Grimes should succeed General Wilson's position. However, later on, after discussions between the Grand Elder and the Council, boss was selected. This might have left some thoughts in the Third Elder's mind. If another incident were to occur, it might further complicate matters. General Wilson's actions are driven by concerns for the country and the people!"

"Alright!" Stout nodded, seemingly understanding.

"Commander, there's something I need to report to you!" Just then, Michael Hornig walked in quickly.

"Speak!" Billy said.

"Yes. Under the escort of several members of the House of Harvey, Janice Harvey has left Celestiford!" Michael took a deep breath and continued, "They were not weak, our people couldn't stop them."

"Hmm?" Azure Fang furrowed his brows. "Do you know where they've gone?"

"I'm not sure," Michael shook his head. "I've ordered someone to retrieve the surveillance footage. They left the city heading west, where there's a blind spot in the surveillance."

"Send people there, now!" Azure Fang frowned again. "We must find out her whereabouts no matter what!"

"Forget it!" Billy said after some thought.

"Boss, that woman is not to be underestimated. I'm worried she'll be a threat..." Azure Fang voiced his concerns.

"If she's determined to escape, sending people there now won't make a difference." Billy interrupted him. "And if she truly intends to seek revenge for the House of Harvey, she'll show up sooner or later. Let's wait for her!"

"Understood!" Azure Fang nodded.

"Boss, didn't the people from the Central Zone War Department already go to the House of Harvey? Why did they let her escape? Was it intentional?" Stout asked.

"Commander, another one of our brothers is in trouble!" Christopher walked up to Billy and reported.

"What happened?" asked Billy.

"Nigel Hall, the deputy leader of the second squad, was tasked with supervising one of the core members of the House of Harvey today, who is also the general manager of a company under the House of Harvey. It seems that the other party received some information and was preparing to escape with an escort. Nigel Hall led five of our brothers in a fierce confrontation."

"Is he seriously injured?" Michael couldn't help but ask.

"Yes," Christopher nodded slightly.

"The other party had several formidable individuals, and despite Nigel Hall and our brothers putting up a desperate fight, they couldn't stop them. Finally, when it seemed that the other party was about to escape successfully, Nigel Hall used an unknown technique to seriously injure all of them."

"Is there a problem?" Michael asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The confrontation took place on a busy street, and several officials received the news and rushed to the scene. Just as Nigel Hall used that technique, it was seen by one of the leaders from Special Patrol Squadron."

"And then?" Stout was equally puzzled.

"That leader from Special Patrol Squadron seems to recognize that technique." Christopher continued. "They interrogated Nigel Hall about the origin of the technique. Nigel refused to say, so they forcefully took him to Special Patrol Squadron."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Billy furrowed his brows.

"Commander, from what I heard from the other five brothers, the other party seemed to have a strong reaction to that technique, and I'm worried that Nigel Hall..."

"Michael, prepare the car, we're going to Special Patrol Squadron!" Billy said as he stood up and headed for the door.

"Understood!" Michael replied loudly.
