The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 134 Endless Hatred

Chapter 134 Endless Hatred

Immediately, Billy knelt down on both legs, his eyes turning red as he looked in the direction of Ozin.

"Father, I have been unfilial. It was my fault that the Miles family was implicated... I'm sorry..."

He never thought that the truth behind everything would be so cruel and that it all stemmed from himself. In his mind, various memories surfaced including those of his biological parents and different people and events.

For so many years now he had deliberately avoided thinking about the past in order to sever all ties with it. But fate had other plans for him and burdened him once again with such a huge psychological weight. Although even Luna Wilkinson didn't know the true identity of the other party, there was no way she didn't have any guesses.

"Brother, take care!" Casey and Judge came up to him.

After taking a deep breath, Billy bowed his head three times towards Ozin's direction before standing up again.

"You didn't take my jade pendant. You should know I'm not dead. Why didn't you come looking for me later?" He then turned to Luna Wilkinson and asked in a low voice.

"We wanted to find you too but someone warned Ink Pavilion later, saying if we dared chase after you again they would wipe out Ink Pavilion completely. So we were ordered by our superiors to give up."

Luna Wilkinson took another deep breath before continuing, "We explained to our employer that you jumped into the river committing suicide along with your jade pendant."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"What secrets does this jade pendant hold?" Billy continued asking, at the same time an image of an old man appeared in his mind. If he guessed correctly, it must have been that old man who gave Ink Pavilion warning.

"I... I don't know!" Luna Wilkinson shook her head.

"Judge, she's in your hands now. Make her reveal the Ink Pavilion's hideout and clear them all out!" Billy turned to Judge and gave his orders.

"Got it!" Judge nodded vigorously before walking towards Luna Wilkinson.

Five minutes later, Billy and Casey got into their car.

"Brother, do you know who did this?" Casey started the engine and asked.

"While I can't be completely sure yet, it's highly likely." Billy replied with a cold glint in his eyes.

"Really? Casey's tone became serious. "I'll call Azure Dragon and have him gather our team in the capital. We'll find whoever did this and take them down."

Casey declared with determination in his voice. For him, even if the capital was a dangerous place, Billy had to avenge his family's death. And Casey didn't believe anyone could stop Army of Bloodshadow - an army of tens of thousands of elite soldiers forged through bloodshed on battlefields.

"No, let's wait for further confirmation. Besides, it's not wise to go to the capital right now." Billy exhaled deeply as complex emotions flickered across his eyes. Then he took out his phone to make a call.

"Hi, Commander, what are your orders?" The phone rang once before an enchanting voice answered on the other end.

"Are you in the capital? There are a few things I need you to take care of right away!" Billy spoke in a low voice.

If it were any other time, he would have scolded the person and asked her to speak properly, but he was not in the mood now.

"Please give me your orders, sir!" The other person could tell from Billy's tone that he was serious and immediately became serious as well.

Billy then gave some instructions over the phone.

Ten minutes later, he hung up.

"You better not let me find any evidence. Otherwise, you will regret it!" Billy murmured as his gaze became sharp.

Casey felt a chill run down his spine when he sensed Billy's anger. He knew that if Billy's suspicions were confirmed, there would be chaos in the capital.

Just as they drove back to Ozin, nearly 20 thousand men under SHADOW's jurisdiction in East District began moving out and gathering in different directions.

The various factions of East District were once again alarmed and started asking around about what was going on. SHADOW had made such a big move; something major must have happened!

By nightfall, a heavy piece of news spread like wildfire throughout East District - all ten external windows belonging to Ink Pavilion had been taken down by force and all members had been arrested.

Upon hearing this news, everyone sighed with emotion. It could only be SHADOW that took down an organization like Ink Pavilion that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

Everyone simultaneously pictured an image of a king-like figure, belonging to a man as the master of SHADOW.

At 9 PM, Billy returned home.

"Dad, Mom!" he greeted Fletcher and Sharon, who were sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Billy, why are you back so late? Haven't eaten yet?" Sharon stood up as she spoke. "Sit down for a bit and I'll heat up your food."

"No need, Mom!" Billy replied with a smile. "Casey and I already ate out."

"Try to eat at home more often. It's not hygienic outside." Sharon said before heading to the kitchen. "How about some chicken soup? I'll heat it up for you."

"Thanks, Mom!" Billy smiled gratefully.

"Billy, don't you need to go back to work after leaving your post for so long?" asked Fletcher.

"I haven't had much rest in the past few years while stationed at camp. That's why my superiors granted me three months off." Billy replied with a smile.

"I see. What about Casey? Does he have similar work arrangements?" Fletcher continued asking questions.

"He has more flexible work hours and is often on-the-go."

"That explains it!" Fletcher nodded in understanding.

"Dad, are Harleen and Tasha asleep?" Billy asked next.

"Tasha was tired from playing all day and fell asleep shortly after dinner. Harleen is putting her to bed now." Fletcher laughed softly as Harleen walked out of her room just then.

"Billy, you're back." Harleen smiled at him.

"Yeah," Billy nodded with a smile. "Is Tasha asleep?"

"She fell asleep a while ago. I just put her to bed and fell asleep myself."

Half an hour later, after drinking chicken soup and washing up, Billy entered the bedroom with Harleen.

"Harleen, do you still remember my dragon-shaped jade pendant?" After they got into bed, Billy asked.

"Of course! Before you came back this time, it was the only thing that gave me hope. How could I forget it? Whenever I feel like I can't hold on any longer, I take it out and look at it. Then I tell myself that maybe one day you will come back to find me. If we can't meet again in this life, when Tasha grows up, I will give her the jade pendant and tell her that it's something her father left for her."

"Honey, you must've been a rough couple years." Billy kissed her hair gently.

"No matter how hard or tiring things were before now, everything is worth it because now I'm happy." A look of happiness appeared on Harleen's face.

Then she got out of bed to retrieve the jade pendant from the dresser drawer before returning to bed again.

"Honey, why did you suddenly think of this jade pendant? Is there something going on?"
