The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 Trash in Buddha Hall

"Don't worry, Mr Knight. It's taken care of. I had a friend at the police station handle it." Billy said with a smile.

"Did you ask him why they were trying to grab Harleen and Felicia?" Sharon asked, her face still showing fear and concern. She knew exactly who Eddie Nunez was, and if he had his sights set on them, their family would never be safe again. Compared to some of the bigger families out there, people like Eddie with underground connections scared her even more.

"They got the wrong person. Harleen looks a lot like a woman who owed their company money so they grabbed her instead. My friend went over there and cleared things up. After Eddie apologized to me for the mistake, I came back here." Billy quickly made up a reason.

As soon as Sharon heard this explanation she breathed a sigh of relief.

"They got it wrong? That's good news." Said Sharon.

Harleen and Felicia were looking at Billy in disbelief.

Afterwards, they all sat down for dinner together in good spirits.

"Billy, can you come inside with me? There's something I need to talk to you about." Harleen said after dinner as she stood up from the table.

"Sure thing." Billy followed her into the room where Harleen gave him a complicated look before speaking again.

"Have you found out who was behind what happened to the Miles family five years ago?" asked she.

Back then she had only saved Billy but she still didn't know who held such deep hatred towards the Miles family that they wanted them wiped off the map completely.

"What does that mean?" Billy was slightly taken aback. "Why do you suddenly want to ask that?"

"You're still pretending to be confused with me." Harleen glared at him and continued, "Eddie caught me and forced me to reveal who I saved back then. Obviously, even if it wasn't him who did the Miles family's case, he must know who the mastermind behind it is!"

"Um..." Billy thought for a moment. "I did ask him, but he didn't know either."

"He only said that a mysterious person asked him to do this job and gave him a generous reward, but the person never revealed their identity from start to finish."

"Is that so?" Harleen was stunned for a moment before looking at Billy with some concern.

"Now that someone knows about this, I don't think they'll give up easily. They'll definitely try their best to find you out. You should leave Ozin as soon as possible."

"It's okay, Harleen. Don't worry, I promise nothing will happen." A touch of emotion rose in Billy's heart. Harleen only thought about his safety but forgot that her own situation was the most dangerous. The only clue in the hands of the other party now was her alone, and they won't give up.

"I know your identity is somewhat special and perhaps not afraid of ordinary forces." Harleen spoke again. "But since they can wipe out the Miles family, their strength and power are extraordinary. It's too dangerous for you to stay in Ozin."

"Thank you for your concern, Harleen, but trust me, nothing will happen." Billy looked at her seriously. "I promised you I would take care of you and Tasha forever, I'm not just saying it."

"But..."

"Harleen, let's not talk about my problems. What are your plans next? Are you going back to Cloud City or staying in Ozin? You helped Knight Group secure the contract, and that old man Zeph should allow you to transfer back to the headquarters."

"I haven't decided yet." Harleen shook her head slightly and she continued, "To be honest, I don't want to stay at Knight Group. Even if I go back to work at the headquarters, I'll definitely face their exclusion and won't be able to do anything. If there's a choice, I'd rather go back to Ozin and find a job in another company, start everything anew."
