The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284 The Lair of Yin Void Sect

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment. "What... what do you mean?"

"From the moment you first laid eyes on us, your gaze gave you away," Billy calmly spoke. "Others might have looked slightly surprised when they saw us, but your eyes were different, especially when you saw Ms Salvage. You had the look of someone who sees prey coming to their doorstep."

"Furthermore, did you add Mystery Fragrant Grass to this tea?" Billy continued. "Take a sip, and within three minutes, the drinker 'll fall unconscious."

"Am I right?"

Hissing sounds filled the air as Simona Salvage gasped in shock.

"But since Commander Gardner knew the tea was poisoned, why did he drink it?" she thought.

"Hmm!?" Upon hearing Billy's words, a murderous intent emanated from the middle-aged man. "Who are you?"

"Tell me the location of your hideout, and I'll spare your life." Billy spoke calmly once more.

Someone of this level could not possibly escape from the scrutiny of the King of the West. Billy had already sensed the auras of the ordinary villagers as he approached the village gate. Aside from the man before him, the rest were indeed regular villagers. It was evident that this man had been providing information to those in the mountains, and if prey came to their doorstep, he would not hesitate to act.

The middle-aged man snorted and said, "You're quite audacious. You've already drunk the tea, and in another minute, you'll be unconscious. Yet you dare talk about sparing my life? What a colossal joke!"

"You scoundrel!" Simona shouted. "Give us the antidote!"

"Haha, once you're poisoned by Mystery Fragrant Grass, there's no cure. You can only wait for it to wear off in an hour." The middle-aged man said, licking his dry lips. "But, my dear lady, don't worry. After I kill your man here, I'll take you up the mountain. A stunning beauty like you, will surely be cherished by the brothers up there. You won't be able to resist their advances."

"I'll kill you!" Simona's face turned pale as she prepared to attack.

"Ms Salvage, you're no match for him. Rest on the side for now." Billy advised.

"But, Mr Gardner..." Simona looked concerned.

"If such a child's play poison could affect me, I would have died countless times by now." Billy said with a faint smile.

"What do you mean? You're not poisoned?" The middle-aged man exclaimed, his face filled with shock. "You drank the tea!"

"I gave you a chance earlier, but you didn't seize it." Billy said, ignoring his question.

"Humph! No matter if you're poisoned or not, I'll still kill you!" The middle-aged man's unease turned into anger. Having spoken, the middle-aged man raised his hand and charged toward Billy, his aura bursting with the strength of a True Master Battle General.

Simona couldn't help but shiver involuntarily at the scene.

Before the man could cover much ground, a powerful gust of wind swept through, causing him to be flung backward. He crashed into two tables and fell to the ground, with three or four ribs broken.

"Battle God Realm?!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with astonishment. "Who... who are you?"

"My surname is Gardner, from the Western Territories." Billy revealed his identity.

"What?!" The middle-aged man gasped, trembling all over. "Are you... are you Commander Gardner?"

As a martial artist, he might not have met Billy in person, but he had undoubtedly heard the name Commander Gardner.

"Congratulations, you got it right." Billy calmly confirmed.

Hearing this, the man had no trace of false bravado left. He crawled over to Billy and knelt.
