The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Paying a Visit

"Find a place to settle her down, but not at the base. Look for a nearby hotel." Billy pointed at the little girl, speaking up.

Since they were waiting for the other side to come to them, they couldn't stay at the SHADOW base. After all, not many dared to raid the SHADOW headquarters.

"Boss, who is she?" Judge asked after a moment of confusion.

"Not sure for now!" Billy shook his head, explaining the situation to Judge briefly.

"Someone's practicing this dark and sinister technique? Damn." Judge commented while frowning, and he had two SHADOW men come forward to take the little girl.

Just as Billy had estimated, not long before midnight, someone arrived. The hotel where the little girl stayed was about five kilometers away from the SHADOW base. Judge specifically instructed to find a more remote location and cleared out all guests from the hotel. A group of about thirty black-clad figures entered the hotel courtyard. Leading them was a young man, unremarkable in appearance with no distinguishing features.

"It should be in this hotel. Move quickly. Start from the first floor and search each room. Once you find the person, evacuate immediately!" The young man gestured as the group arrived at the lobby entrance.

The others nodded, and they headed towards the lobby.

"No need to search. Let me tell you where the person is!" Judge's voice rang out casually, and he strolled out from the lobby.

"Hmm!?" The young man paused, his pupils slightly contracting. "Who are you?"

A sense of unease arose within him. Judging from the situation, it seemed like they were waiting for him to show up.

"I think you should answer that question instead. Who are you guys?" Judge's voice remained calm. "Tell me, and I might spare your lives."

"Impudent fool!" The young man's brow furrowed. "I advise you that this matter is beyond your control. Hand over the girl, and you might survive! Otherwise, your family will suffer as well. Believe me, I'm not bluffing. It's not just an empty threat!"

"So, you're not willing to talk, huh?" Judge shrugged. "Then let's talk later."

With that, he signaled. "Take them all down. Kill anyone who resists!"

Following his command, about a hundred SHADOW members rushed into the courtyard, each with a cold crescent blade.

"Damn!" The young man's brow furrowed, his voice heavy. "Attack!"

Without saying a word, the group of around thirty men drew their weapons and charged at the SHADOW guards.

However, the strength and numbers were vastly different between the two sides. In less than two minutes, apart from the lead man, all of them either lay down or were left severely injured.

"What... what kind of people are you?" The unease in the young man's heart grew stronger.

"Enough with your nonsense!" Judge's eyes narrowed, and he swung his wrist, slashing his blade through the air.

The young man immediately sensed a strong impending danger. His pupils contracted, and he quickly blocked with his sword.

With only Battle General-level strength, he couldn't fend off Judge's strike. After the blade passed, his arm was severed at the shoulder, blood gushing out. The young man grunted, cold sweat breaking out as he stumbled several steps back and managed to say with difficulty, "A Half-Step Warlord!?"

"Now, can you answer my questions?" Judge didn't respond to his statement but calmly continued, "Who are you guys, and where is your hideout?"

Without hesitation, the young man turned around and dashed toward the door. But the disparity between their power levels was like heaven and earth. He no longer had the courage to stay.
