The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 315

Chapter 315 Ink Devil Palm!

"What happened?"

For the past month, Ebony Lord had been in the Southern District, cleaning up the internal issues within SHADOW as per Billy's instructions. A few days ago, he had spoken to Ebony Lord on the phone, during which Ebony Lord had informed Billy that there were indeed significant problems in the Southern District, and he had already identified and dealt with about twenty to thirty SHADOW traitors.

Before hanging up the call, Ebony Lord had mentioned that he would be heading to Earthford the next day, as it was the headquarters of SHADOW's Southern District.

But now, just a few days later, something had gone wrong.

"I've been away on business for the past few days, and as soon as I received the news, I rushed back. I just arrived, and we're still investigating the specific reasons." Replied Frostblade.

"How is Ebony Lord's condition right now?" Billy asked with concern.

"He's seriously injured, and the person who attacked him seemed to be out for his life. He's been unconscious ever since. We have SHADOW medical personnel trying to treat him, but their efforts have had limited success." Frostblade continued.

"Besides Ebony Lord, were there any other casualties?" Billy's brow slightly furrowed.

"Yes," came Frostblade's response. "Four Enforcement Hall brothers who were with Ebony Lord were killed."

A cold shiver ran down Billy's spine. Attacking even SHADOW members was a reckless move.

"I'm on my way." Billy said decisively.

"OK!" Frostblade replied.

After hanging up, Billy sent a message to Harleen, letting her know that he would be away for a few days. He then informed his family and headed to the Ozin War Zone Airport.

Earthford was the core city of the Southern District, the economic center, and had a population of nearly twenty million people.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Billy arrived at the airport.

"Commander!" Frostblade and Earthford's SHADOW Inspector, Wally Hammond, led ten SHADOW members to welcome him.

Billy had instructed Frostblade before his departure not to reveal his whereabouts until they were sure of what had happened.

"Boss, are we heading to headquarters?" Frostblade asked once they were in the car.

"No, find a quieter place," Billy replied. "And have Ebony Lord brought here as well."

"Understood!" Frostblade sent a couple of messages on his phone.

"Do you have a general idea of what happened?" Billy asked as they drove.

"Yes," Frostblade nodded. "Last night, there was a major violent incident in Earthford. The fourth-ranked family among the four powerful ones, the Dittman family was wiped out overnight. Dozens of people in their compound were killed. The perpetrators were very professional, leaving no trace at the scene. The Earthford authorities have requested SHADOW's assistance in solving the case. Because Wally Hammond was busy with other matters yesterday, Ebony Lord and his team went to the scene to assist and learned that there was a witness."

"After a night of investigation, they confirmed the identity of the witness and went to find him this morning." Frostblade continued. "However, they were ambushed on the way. Ebony Lord was seriously injured, and the four Enforcement Hall brothers with him were killed."

"Did you send anyone else to look for the witness after Ebony Lord's injuries?" Billy asked, his brow slightly furrowing.

"Commander, as soon as I learned of Ebony Lord's situation, I went to the scene myself, and also sent people to the witness's residence, but they found that the witness had already been silenced." Wally Hammond said.

"How many SHADOW members knew that Ebony Lord was going to find the witness?" Billy asked, his brow furrowing deeper.
