The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193 I'm Not Doing It!

An hour later, Billy and his crew returned to the SHADOW base.

"Boss, I have some news on that thing you had me investigate," Night Orchid said as they walked towards the conference room.

"It's related to one of the city's gatekeepers, just like you suspected."

"Are you sure?" Billy narrowed his eyes.

"Yes," Night Orchid nodded. "When we took down Ink Pavilion's external window last time, I interrogated their contact from the city. He told me that five years ago, someone contacted him about the matter related to the Miles family in Ozin. Back then, they introduced him to someone in the east district because of territorial jurisdiction issues."

"How did he know they were from an aristocratic family?" A cold glint flashed in Billy's eyes.

"Ink Pavilion is cautious when it comes to big deals and usually investigates their clients' identities. At that time, the other party offered more than a billion as reward so they were suspicious." Night Orchid paused before continuing. "Although they never revealed their true identity throughout their dealings with Ink Pavilion, Ink Pavilion eventually found some clues."

"The person who contacted them turned out to be under that aristocratic family's banner. After learning this information, Ink Pavilion no longer hesitated and transferred the deal to the east district." She added.

"As expected!" A chill ran through Billy's body.

"Do you want us to go visit that family now?" Night Orchid asked again.

"Not now," Billy shook his head slightly.

He came here this time for two reasons: first was resolving SHADOW's matter three years ago; second was using scare tactics against those with ulterior motives.

Today, they shouldn't make too much noise again while both objectives had been achieved. Besides, now that the identity of the other party had been confirmed, there was no need to rush at this moment.

Billy's phone rang. His eyes slightly brightened as soon as he saw the caller ID. Then he walked into a guest room alone.

"Donald, how's it going?" After answering the call, Billy respectfully greeted him.

The person on the other end of the phone was an elder he held in high regard, whether due to his standing or his contributions to this country.

"King of the West, to avoid suspicion, I won't meet with you this time." Donald's voice came through on the other end of the line. "How are you feeling? Has your anger subsided a bit?"

"Thank you for your concern, Donald." Billy responded.

"It was me who had Central Sky Office intervene." Donald continued speaking.

"Oh?" Billy was slightly surprised and felt relieved at heart.

Since it was Donald who intervened, it meant that the influence of those families hadn't become so rampant as to control Central Sky Office yet.

"The current situation in the capital is delicate. Minor issues aren't a problem but it isn't yet time for drastic measures. I hope you understand." Donald said further.

"I understand." Billy nodded his head in agreement.

"This time you made the Leonard family suffer a loss, they shouldn't let things go just like that. Other families may also feel threatened by your actions so be careful." Donald reminded him.

"It's just a jumping clown, nothing to fear!" Billy responded.

"Easy to dodge a spear in the open, hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Caution is key!" Donald paused briefly before changing the subject with a hesitant tone.
