The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 525

Chapter 525 The Day of the Challenge

"General Wilson, when are you going to the Northern Territories?" After Bob Stokes and Ian Blade left, Billy turned to Cole Wilson and asked.

"According to General Geis's suggestion, the supreme commander of Aquilandia's war department will arrive at the border soon. I plan to leave this afternoon." Cole Wilson replied.

"Alright," Billy nodded and continued, "General Wilson, go ahead first to engage with them. Unless necessary, avoid any conflict with them and find out what they want. After I deal with Ruthless Lordling, I'll join you."

"Okay, that's the plan. I'll go prepare." Cole Wilson said as he stood up.

"Very well," Billy stood up as well. "General Wilson, please be sure to stay safe."

"Sure, thank you for your concern." Cole nodded and greeted Night Orchid and Stout before leaving.

"Boss, with Aquilandia mobilizing forces in the Northern Territories, there must be a hidden agenda, right?" After Cole Wilson left, Night Orchid asked.

"Yes," Billy's gaze turned thoughtful. "After some consideration, it seems likely."

Then, he turned to Stout and said, "Stout, call Casey and Azure Dragon, and have them come to the capital tomorrow."

"Understood!" Stout nodded and took out his phone to make the call.

The next day, around noon, Billy was discussing some matters in Night Orchid's office when the phone rang. It was a call from Bob Stokes. On the phone, he informed Billy that the showdown with Ruthless Lordling had been scheduled for tomorrow at noon, at the foot of the Eastern Mountain.

This news quickly spread throughout the entire city, and everyone was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next day. On one side was Commander Gardner, the rare talent of the millennium of the country; on the other side was Ruthless Lordling, one of the eight great prodigies in the world of ancient martial arts. Who was stronger between these two? It was truly something to look forward to!

At 1 PM, Casey and Azure Dragon both arrived at the SHADOW compound.

"Casey, Azure Dragon," Night Orchid welcomed them with Stout.

"Night Orchid, where's boss?" Casey asked after a smile.

"He's in his office, talking with General Wilson." Night Orchid replied, leading the two towards the office.

"Orchid, I heard someone wants to challenge boss. What's going on?" Azure Dragon asked as they walked.

"Azure Dragon, let me explain," Stout replied and proceeded to describe in detail what had happened the previous day.

"That's really audacious!" After listening to Stout, Azure Dragon shook his head and said, "If he's so eager for death, he should just commit suicide, it would be less embarrassing."

"Azure Dragon, you said what I wanted to say." Stout grinned.

"Orchid, do you know what's going on in the Northern Territory?" Casey turned to Night Orchid and asked.

Casey had no interest in Ruthless Lordling's affairs. He had heard of Ruthless Lordling before, and in his opinion, he was nothing but a complete joke. Based on what he knew of Billy, with all his cards on the table, ten Ruthless Lordlings wouldn't be a match.

"Aquilandia has launched an attack, citing the past incident where General Wilson killed their Deputy Commander as the surface reason." Night Orchid explained, sharing some information she had gathered.

"Hmm?" Both Casey and Azure Dragon frowned.

"After all these years, now they want to settle old scores. Aquilandia must have ulterior motives," Casey said after some thought.

"Most likely," Night Orchid nodded in agreement.
