The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 368

Chapter 368 The Army at the Holmes Estate

In the heart of the capital, Donald and the Grand Elder were in an office, sipping tea.

"Billy went to the Holmes clan?" The Grand Elder handed a cigarette to Donald.

"Yes," Donald replied, lighting the cigarette and taking a puff.

"The Holmes clan has brought this upon themselves, no one to blame." The Grand Elder said as he also lit a cigarette. After a brief pause, he continued, "Should the two of us go to the scene?"

"What would we be looking at?" Donald asked in return.

"I've heard that both the Holmes family elders made breakthroughs recently. Aren't you worried that Billy might have trouble handling them?" The Grand Elder raised an eyebrow.

"As long as they haven't reached Emperor Realm, there's nothing to worry about." Donald replied casually.

"You have confidence in him." the Grand Elder chuckled. After taking another puff from his cigarette, he asked, "Now that his injuries should be mostly healed, do you think he might break through soon?"

"He's not in a hurry, so why should you be?" Donald responded, his expression contemplative. "Once he reaches Emperor Realm, there will be certain limitations. Until the buddies around him have fully grown, he won't break through too quickly." Donald explained.

"That makes sense," the Grand Elder nodded. "But he doesn't have much time. He needs to make sure those around him grow quickly, otherwise, he'll be spread too thin."

"That's right." Donald agreed.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and Cole Wilson entered.

"Grand Elder, Elder Donald." Cole greeted as he bowed slightly.

"Why did you come back? Weren't you going to the Holmes clan?" The Grand Elder asked, somewhat surprised.

"I was on my way there, but I received a phone call, so I came back." Cole replied as he took a seat on the sofa.

"Who called you?" Donald asked, a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"It was from the southern region, from Harlan Holmes."

"He's back in the capital?" The Grand Elder raised an eyebrow.

"He's still on his way, but he'll be here soon. He was worried that he might not make it in time, so he called me." Cole Wilson explained.

"What did he say? He's not planning anything reckless, is he? How many people did he bring with him?" The Grand Elder furrowed his brow.

"Please don't worry, Grand Elder. He came back alone." Cole reassured them.

"He was kept in the dark about the Holmes clan's collusion with Sanctum of Darkness. He only found out about it today." Cole Wilson continued. "He mentioned an idea to me, and I wasn't sure how to proceed, so I came back to discuss it with both of you."

"What idea?" Donald asked, his brow slightly furrowed.

Cole Wilson explained Harlan Holmes's idea in detail.

"Are those his exact words?" Grand Elder asked after a few minutes.

"Yes," Cole Wilson nodded.

"Donald, what do you think?" Grand Elder turned to him.

"It's worth considering," Donald said after a moment of contemplation. He then looked at Grand Elder. "What do you think?"

"I have no objections, but whether Billy agrees or not is the key."

"Cole, go to the Holmes estate and deliver Harlan Holmes's idea to Billy. Let him decide." Donald instructed.
