The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467 A Return to the Origins of Power

A collective gasp escaped the Special Patrol officers' lips. They had heard the rumors about Commander Gardner from the western district being decisive, and today, they witnessed it firsthand. Taking such an aggressive stance, like threatening to sever a Special Patrol inspector's arm at the slightest provocation, was truly remarkable.

"Alright." Azure Fang replied, raising his blade to execute the command.

Alexandra Maynard had no strength left to resist; he promptly knelt before Nigel Hall and muttered through gritted teeth, "I apologize for my rash actions. Please, don't hold it against me."

He didn't doubt for a second that Azure Fang would have severed his arm if he hadn't knelt. He sighed in relief, knowing that he had escaped with a mere apology.

"You should be grateful you didn't harm Nigel Hall severely. Otherwise, you would be dead by now." Azure Fang said sternly.

"I'm so sorry." Alexandra took a deep breath.

"Inspector Maynard, your time in office is over." Billy then turned to Michael Hornig and ordered, "Take Nigel Hall back to SHADOW."

"Yes, Commander!" Michael replied emphatically.

Billy and his team left the scene.

"Inspector Maynard, are you alright? Please, get up." Siobhan Naylor walked over to him and was about to pull him up from the ground.

"Get lost!" Alexandra pushed him away, his eyes cold and filled with resentment as he watched Billy and his group depart. He muttered under his breath, "Commander Gardner, you will pay dearly for your actions today."

Later, he walked away and dialed a number on his phone.

Half an hour later, Billy and his team returned to the SHADOW headquarters. Stout immediately administered a healing potion to Nigel Hall and tended to his injuries.

"What happened, Nigel? Why did the Special Patrol officers want to capture you?" Michael inquired once Nigel had regained some color in his face.

"It's nothing major. They probably mistook me for someone else." Nigel replied, his eyes revealing a hint of hesitation.

"Are you hiding something from us?" Azure Fang furrowed his brow.

"No... I'm not," Nigel stammered, his face growing even more uncomfortable.

"Nigel, tell us the truth. Are you lying to Commander Gardner?" Michael pressed, his brow furrowing as well. "You can't lie in front of Commander Gardner."

"I..." Nigel Hall's face turned even more unnatural.

"If Alexandra Maynard truly recognized the technique you used earlier, he won't give up easily. To avoid implicating the people in your hometown, it's best to tell us the whole story." Billy calmly stated. He had already deduced that the person who taught Nigel the technique was no ordinary individual.

Suddenly, Nigel knelt before Billy without warning.

"Commander, it's not that I don't want to talk, I don't know where to begin..."

"The... I secretly learned it from an old man, his last name was Robson. He... he found out later, and he warned me never to use it casually, or it would bring me huge trouble." Nigel explained.
