The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463 Heinous Crimes

"Such audacity! I'll teach you a lesson!" The bald man's face turned ashen with anger at Stout. He was, after all, a vice-general, and he couldn't stand being belittled by a chubby fellow like Stout. After uttering those words, he raised his hand and charged towards Stout.

Just as he was halfway there, Stout raised his hand, sending a powerful gust of wind that threw the man out of the courtyard, and he crashed to the ground. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the man's face turned pale, and a hint of fear crept into his eyes. Although his cultivation wasn't very strong, he possessed the strength of a Half-Step Warlord. Yet, he was treated like a helpless ant in front of Stout.

"Hmm?" Andre Catro furrowed his brows as he witnessed the scene. "How dare you harm my fellow war department colleague, you have some nerve!"

After a brief pause, he waved his hand and ordered, "Get him!"

"Understood!" Two to three dozen men rushed out from behind Andre, all of them well-built and emitting a fierce aura.

The strength of this group was not to be underestimated. The strongest among them had the power of a War Grandmaster, while the weakest were at the peak of the Battle God realm.

"Young man, lie down!" The leader of the group shouted at Stout and led his men charging towards him.

Whoosh!

Just then, a powerful gust of wind, like a tornado, swept in from behind Stout, creating a piercing howling sound. In the next moment, all two to three dozen men were lifted into the air, soaring in all directions. Witnessing this scene, the group of men all gasped in shock, their faces filled with horror, as they looked towards the tall figure calmly walking from a short distance away.

"Commander Gardner?!" After recognizing Billy, Andre's body trembled, his face filled with disbelief.

Frank Harvey's reaction was even worse than Andre's; he couldn't control the trembling of his body. He never expected Commander Gardner to be in Celestiford. At first, when he heard that his daughter had been captured by SHADOW's people, he didn't take it too seriously. He only sent Declan Harvey and Janice Harvey to negotiate. But not only did they fail to retrieve Sheila Harvey, they also left Declan behind with SHADOW.

Upon hearing the news, a sense of unease began to grow in Frank's heart. So, he had Janice contact Andre Catro. When he entered the SHADOW compound earlier and saw that only Azure Fang and a few members of SHADOW were present, he felt somewhat relieved. But the moment he recognized Billy, all his hopes vanished.

"If I remember correctly, your name is Andre Catro, right?" Billy approached him and spoke calmly. "Are you here to represent the Harvey clan?"

"Commander Gardner, I had no idea you were..." Andre Catro took a deep breath before speaking with a respectful tone. Although their ranks were only one level apart, he knew very well that the gap between them was huge.

"You haven't answered my question yet," Billy interrupted him. "Are you the Harvey clan's backer?"

"Commander Gardner, the Harvey clan has a cooperative relationship with the War Department in the central region. I am acquainted with them." Andre replied nervously.

Billy's question was something he wouldn't dare to answer even if he had ten times the courage. If the charges were confirmed, he wouldn't survive, even with ten lives. While he didn't yet know why the Harvey clan had attracted Commander Gardner's attention, he could tell it was a serious matter. Otherwise, Billy wouldn't personally intervene.

"Commander Gardner, I don't know what offense the Harvey clan has committed. Could you please clarify?" Andre asked cautiously.

"You know them, don't you? Don't you have any information to share?" Billy spoke calmly.

"Mr Harvey, are you keeping something from me?" Andre exhaled heavily and looked at Frank with a stern expression.

"Chief Cato, please calm down. I also don't know what the Harvey clan did to offend Commander Gardner." Frank steadied his emotions slightly before continuing to address Billy. "Commander Gardner, I don't know what transgressions my younger brother and my daughter have committed. I implore you to clarify." Frank added respectfully.
