The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326 Baiting

Billy agreed to take the formula not for any other reason but to ensure that the Lawson family would be spared further disasters. This formula was not only attractive to Ink Pavilion but also held significant temptation for some hidden noble clans and martial sects. Now that the news had spread, considering the current strength of the Lawson family, it was indeed challenging to safeguard this formula for them. Keeping it within the Lawson family would only bring them immense trouble.

The formula had no value to Billy personally. Similar formulas could be obtained from Secret Essences if he desired them. However, he wasn't particularly interested in using elixirs to enhance his cultivation; he preferred the path of martial combat.

He firmly believed that true power came from battles that pushed one's limits, not from relying on external elixirs. In his view, elixirs were merely supplements, not a shortcut to strength. Furthermore, he suspected that the formula was incomplete, a detail the Dittman clan's head might not even be aware of.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr Gardner." Herman Lawson said with relief.

"You're welcome," Billy replied, handing the formula to Frostblade. "Keep it in SHADOW's archives, marked as S-class."

"Yes," Frostblade acknowledged, taking the formula.

Billy and his SHADOW team then left the scene.

"This young man is extraordinary." Ferris Lawson remarked as he watched Billy's departing figure.

"Second Elder, haven't you figured out Mr Gardner's identity yet?" Herman Lawson smiled.

"Hmm?" The Second Elder was momentarily puzzled. "What do you mean, sir?"

"At such a young age, he possesses a cultivation level above the Warlord stage, is affiliated with SHADOW, and holds a higher status than even Frostblade." Herman Lawson explained with a smile. "Who else could it be besides the King of the West?"

"Herman, are you saying that Mr Gardner is the one from the Western Territory?" Ferris Lawson asked in amazement.

"Yes," Herman Lawson confirmed.

The Lawson family members all gasped in shock, realizing that their guest was none other than Commander Gardner, the ruler of the Western Territory and the leader of SHADOW.

No wonder he had been so decisive in dealing with Piers Riley!

On the other hand, Eleanor Lawson wore an expression of disbelief. She recalled the regal aura she had sensed when she first saw Billy, and she knew he was not an ordinary person. However, she had never imagined that his status would be this extraordinary.

"Commander, should we head straight to the Riley estate?" Several minutes later, as Billy and his team were traveling by car, Wally Hammond asked.

"No rush," Billy replied. "Arrange for someone to deliver a message to the Riley clan. Inform them that the third-in-command of them has been eliminated by SHADOW, and the Dittmans' formula is now in SHADOW's possession. Tell them Piers Riley willingly confessed the Riley clan's crimes, and they have one day to come to SHADOW to confess their sins. After one day, if they don't show up, SHADOW will officially visit the Riley clan."

"Commander, won't this give them and Ink Pavilion time to prepare?" Wally Hammond asked, slightly puzzled.

"Handle it as boss instructed," Frostblade interjected. She knew Billy well enough to understand that he was setting a trap.
