The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 495

Chapter 495 Moves

Upon hearing their son's words, Kennard Higgins and his wife felt a growing sense of unease. They couldn't help but cast another look at Billy, wondering if Billy was an influential figure.

Zeph Knight and his son, on the other hand, were equally surprised. They had heard Beatrice mention "Uncle Earl", the person Maurice Higgins had called, and they knew he was a significant figure in Ozin.

Just then, Kennard Higgins's phone rang. He picked it up without thinking and answered the call. Whatever was said on the other end of the line made him shudder uncontrollably. His face turned deathly pale, and he didn't even realize when he dropped his phone to the floor.

"Kennard, what's wrong?" Thalia asked, concerned, seeing her husband's state.

In the next moment, Kennard Higgins knelt down in front of Billy.

"I... I apologize, I was blind and ignorant. Please forgive me, sir." Said he.

Another shocked silence filled the room. Zeph Knight and his family were left dumbfounded.

"How could the formidable head of the Higgins family kneel down so quickly?" they thought.

They all turned to look at Billy, their expressions filled with disbelief as they were guessing Billy's identity.

"Kennard, what's happened? What's wrong?" Thalia asked, her voice trembling.

"Thalia, Maurice, kneel and apologize to Mr Gardner. Hurry!" Kennard Higgins shouted hoarsely.

The phone call he had received earlier was from his father, who had scolded him mercilessly and warned him that the people he had offended were extraordinarily powerful, even in the capital. If they didn't get Billy's forgiveness today, the Higgins family could be expelled from the capital tomorrow. Kennard didn't think his father was joking, and he deeply regretted his actions now. If only he had known about the influential figure in the Knight family earlier, he wouldn't have acted so arrogantly. But it was too late now.

Seeing Kennard's reaction, both Thalia and Maurice didn't hesitate and immediately knelt down beside him.

"We're so sorry, please forgive us."

"Now you're afraid? Weren't you acting all tough just a moment ago?" Stout sneered.

"Beatrice, please help us plead with your brother-in-law. Beg him to spare us this time." Maurice trembled as he pleaded with Beatrice.

"Grandpa..." Beatrice looked at Zeph and hesitated.

"Billy, what do you think?" Zeph couldn't make up his mind either and turned to Billy for guidance.

Just then, the sound of footsteps outside the door caught their attention. A group of about thirty to forty people walked briskly into the room. The leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties with a square face, thick eyebrows, and a commanding presence.
