The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277 Something Seems to Have Happened Again

"Boss, did you catch them?" Casey asked as they returned.

"Yes," Billy nodded, then smiled at Rakshasa. "Congratulations."

Rakshasa approached and knelt before Billy. "Thank you for your guidance, Commander."

"Get up." Billy raised his hand. "Have you remembered the sword technique?"

"Yes, I have." Rakshasa stood up and handed Billy the rusty sword. "Commander Gardner, take this sword."

"Why are you giving it to me? It's a gift from your half-master," Billy said with a smile. "Take it back and have it polished, it should be something extraordinary."

"Thank you, Commander!" Rakshasa bowed once more.

"Alright, go back." Billy looked at the others.

Several hours later, the group returned to Rakshasa Hall's headquarters.

"Boss, what's the story behind that jade pendant?" Inside the meeting hall, Azure Dragon looked at Billy and asked.

"I'm not sure," Billy shook his head, then explained the events surrounding the jade pendant to them.

The others in the room, except for Casey, were surprised to hear about it. They had met Billy after Harleen Knight had taken his jade pendant, so they were unaware of this story. Casey had learned about the pendant's existence during their previous encounter with Lady Peony.

The people in the room, apart from Casey, exclaimed in unison. They had known Billy for some time, but he hadn't shared this part of his life with them. It was evident that this was a painful memory for him.

"Boss, who gave you the jade pendant?" Judge asked.

"My mother," Billy took a deep breath and replied. "But she never told me about its origins."

He once again saw flashes of his childhood in his mind, and a mist of sorrow clouded his eyes. This was something he had always avoided facing, as every recollection was like a needle piercing his heart.

Upon hearing his words, Casey and the others fell silent. They understood the pain that this memory brought to Billy.

After a moment, Billy composed himself and let out a deep breath. He then turned to White Tiger and said, "White Tiger, there's more to Samuel Watson's capture than meets the eye. The people from Sanctum of Darkness likely know more. You should take the opportunity to find out."

"What do you mean by that?" Azure Dragon asked, and the others in the room turned their attention to Billy.

"I'm just speculating at this point," Billy began. "Capturing Samuel Watson was only one of their objectives. Another goal was to deal with White Tiger and our brothers in Bloodshadow."

"Hmm?" Casey furrowed his brows. "Could it be that someone back in our homeland is working with Sanctum of Darkness?"

"It's a possibility," Billy nodded.
