The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Important Clues

The gamblers rushed out of the door, leaving behind a group of black-clad men writhing in pain on the ground.

Billy turned to Black Eagle and asked, "So, do you have anyone left to call?"

"You... you've become a member of SHADOW?" Black Eagle trembled as he asked. As someone with his status and position, he knew what being associated with SHADOW meant.

"If there's no one left, how about we chat?" Billy took a drag from his cigarette.

"What happened five years ago had nothing to do with me. It was... the work of the three families, Jimenez, Malcom and Watkins..."

"I never said it was you," Billy replied. "But surely there are some things that you can tell me about."

"What... what things?"

"Can you tell me why you left Ozin after the Miles family incident?" Billy asked again.

"I... I grew tired of all that violence and killing. I just wanted to find a place..." Black Eagle shuddered uncontrollably.

"Black Eagle, I advise you not to test my patience any further." Billy interrupted him sternly.

Suddenly there was knocking at the door.

At this moment, around thirty or forty men in fancy attire marched up to the door of the private room and simultaneously bowed.

"Commander, the entire estate has been cleared. Please give further instructions!"

"Call the local police station and have them take over." Billy replied.

"Yes, sir!" The group responded in unison.

Black Eagle, who had just gotten up from the ground, collapsed again. This time, his face was even more filled with shock than before.

Looking at Billy with trepidation he asked, "You... you're Commander Gardner?"

With his experience and knowledge, he knew that there was only one person within their territory who could be called "Commander" by SHADOW's elite soldiers-King of the West and master of SHADOW.

"Now can you tell me who that woman was that you instructed three major families to attack?" Billy spoke again.

Black Eagle let out a deep breath. If he still held any hope before then it had vanished completely now. This man was an absolute giant in their world; there was no way Black Eagle could stand against him.

"I... I don't know exactly who she was... only that she's a very beautiful woman..." Black Eagle struggled to swallow before continuing.

"Five years ago, she came to me first and asked me to attack the Miles family. But at that time, I had established myself as the underground king in Ozin and didn't have much conflict with the Miles family. So I declined."

"This could have been the end of it."

"But... but something unexpected happened during that meeting. The woman may have had a relapse of an old illness and was writhing in pain on the couch..."

"I heard someone call her Lady Peony. And her veil fell off because of her movements, revealing her true face."

"It was for this reason that she developed murderous intent towards me and sent people after me on the second day after our meeting."

"Luckily, I was prepared for it. After losing an arm due to their attack, my companions fought bravely to protect me and we managed to escape."

"But I knew they wouldn't give up easily on pursuing me so I fled overseas for two or three years."
