The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429 Mark Barber Needs to Vent

"Boss, is this when we're going to take action?" Azure Dragon on the other end of the phone sounded eager.

"It's been ten years, and it's time for them to settle that debt," Billy replied calmly.

"Understood!" Azure Dragon responded loudly.

"Moreover, it's a good opportunity to use Nanrania as an example to deter the other countries in the south. Recently, several nations in the region have been getting restless, probably instigated by the west."

"Yeah." Billy nodded before ending the call.

"Boss, I have a question. Did you deliberately provoke those two earlier?" Stout asked with a grin. He knew Billy well enough to know that it wasn't about the four billion.

More than likely, it was to force the other side into action, providing a suitable reason to take action against Nanrania.

"Several nations in the south have become strategic reserves for the West. Nanrania, in particular, is the most submissive." Billy replied.

"Understood!" Stout nodded and continued, "I heard that Nanrania went so far as to send one of their royal family's princesses to become a lover of a high-ranking official in a Western country. Is that true?"

"Where there's smoke, there's fire." Billy replied again.

"Ha, they're really going to great lengths to cozy up to the West!" Stout smacked his lips. "Why don't they just befriend Glavale like we do? Instead, they run to the West, allowing themselves to be used like tools. Do they enjoy it?" he continued, his voice filled with disdain.

"Human desires are insatiable." Billy said with narrowed eyes.

"Boss, one thing I don't understand is why the South Trade Group became interested in Ms Knight's cosmetics company. Is the profit really that substantial?" Stout asked as Billy put away his phone.

"The profit might be part of it," Billy mused. "Perhaps they are after the formula."

"What do you mean?" Stout asked, puzzled.

"Because the cosmetics have a remarkable hemostatic effect," Billy explained with a faint smile.

"Hmm?" Stout seemed to realize something. "Are you saying they want to extract the hemostatic effect from the formula?"

"I'm just speculating for now." Billy replied.

"Could that guy's family be connected to Nanrania's military?" Stout muttered an expletive.

"It's a possibility," Billy said with another smile.

Although it was just a guess for now, he felt it was highly likely. Otherwise, if they were only after the cosmetics' profits, Mark Barber wouldn't have needed to personally get involved; he could have delegated it to someone within the group.
