The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 358

Chapter 358 Clues to the Crescent Moon Saber

"Where is the video footage you took from the casino?" Billy asked after some thought. Hearing that Night Orchid had been taken away by Central Sky Office eased his concerns a bit. Regardless of who had been newly assigned to Central Sky Office, anyone in such a position couldn't possibly make a snap judgment based on just a video.

Moreover, if Central Sky Office intended to deal with Night Orchid, they would have informed him in advance. Everyone knew that Billy was fiercely protective of his subordinates. If any department dared to handle his people without notifying him, the entire capital city might not withstand his wrath.

"It's right here," Ollie Ray said as he took an electronic device from one of his subordinates. "Commander Gardner, due to my duties, I can't send the video externally, but you can view it here."

With that, he handed the device over to Billy. Judge received the device and brought it to Billy. Just as described by Brigham Bush, the woman in the video bore an uncanny resemblance to Night Orchid, making it nearly impossible to distinguish them.

"Such impressive disguise skills!" Judge couldn't help but exclaim.

"Stop!" After a few minutes of playing the video, Billy spoke up with a stern tone.

"Yes?" Judge immediately paused the video and looked at Billy. "What's wrong, boss?"

"Zoom in on the scimitar!" Billy instructed.

"Alright!" Judge nodded and followed the order.

"Can you see anything now?" asked Billy.

"What exactly are you looking for?" Judge seemed puzzled.

"This scimitar, whether it's the length, width, the patterns on the blade, or the platinum material on the hilt, is identical to ours. I can't discern..." Judge stopped abruptly, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "Boss, do you mean...?"

"Alright, let's go!" Billy dismissed the issue. "Deputy Ray, sorry for the trouble, and we're leaving."

"Never mind, Commander Gardner." Ollie Ray took the smart phone from Judge and said while bowing.

"Sir, what did they find in the video?" one of Special Patrol Squadron officers asked after Billy and his group left.

"I have no idea," Ollie Ray replied with a bewildered expression.

Before this, he had thoroughly compared Night Orchid's scimitar with the one in the video and found no differences.

"Judge, did you find any clues about that scimitar?" Stout asked after they got into the car.

"None," Judge replied bluntly. "It's identical to Night Orchid's."

"So, what were you trying to say earlier?" Stout was confused.

"The resemblance is remarkable." Judge said, somewhat philosophically. "When anything pursues perfection excessively, it tends to create problems."

Judge, a rough man, unexpectedly dropped a philosophical statement.

"What do you mean by that?" Stout was still puzzled.

"Cold Moon Sabers for governors of SHADOW and the Bloodshadow Battle Blade used by the Army Commander or higher-ranking officers, both come from the hands of a grandmaster blacksmith within the territory." Judge explained. "Every one of the blades is meticulously handcrafted, and anyone attempting to replicate it to such perfection would find it nearly impossible."

"Judge, is that blacksmith you're talking about, is he Blade Lord form Blade Sect?" Stout asked, sounding somewhat surprised.

"You know quite a bit, don't you, chubby?" Judge was a bit surprised.

Stout continued, "So you're saying that this assassin's scimitar is also made by Blade Lord?"

"Most likely," Judge nodded in agreement.

"In that case, I have one question," Stout said, "Why would Blade Lord remake a scimitar identical to the one he gave to Night Orchid? He should know that if such a scimitar were to circulate in society, it would cause problems."

"This scimitar couldn't have come from Blade Lord." Billy decisively replied.
