The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 491 Something Wrong With Ozin City

"Thank... thank you!" Relieved after hearing Night Orchid's words, Vere Badman took a breath and continued, "As far as I know, Ink Pavilion received another piece of information from somewhere. It said there might be another lead to one of the jade pendants in a village at the foot of the Kun Lun Mountains. They've already sent people to that village, but it seems that the village is not ordinary. The people they sent have all gone missing. If everything goes as expected, Ink Pavilion will probably send someone back there in the next few days. Also, about this village, it's not just Ink Pavilion that knows about it. I suspect two or three other sects might have heard about it as well."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Billy and Night Orchid were equally surprised. Both of them recalled the faces of Arthur Fowler and Bessie Charleston.

"Could it be that they spent twenty years guarding that village for another jade pendant?" they thought.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"Do you know about that village, Boss?" Seeing their reactions, Bob Stokes and Ian Blade asked Billy.

"Yes," Billy nodded slightly. After a pause, he continued, looking at Vere Badman. "What else do you know about that village?"

"I'm not sure about the other details, I only overheard this," Vere Badman replied with a shake of his head. Then, with a somewhat triumphant expression, he added, "I know only this much. Please, Commander Gardner, let me go quickly!"

"Take him away!" Billy waved his hand.

"Understood!" Two SHADOW members standing nearby nodded and led Vere out.

"Boss, what village is he talking about?" Ian Blade asked Night Orchid.

"Let me explain," Night Orchid said as she sipped her tea and began to describe the village.

"What?!" After listening to Night Orchid's description, Bob Stokes and Ian Blade were both astonished. Neither of them had expected such a development.

"Boss, could Arthur Fowler and that old lady really have been guarding that village for twenty years just for another jade pendant?" Bob spoke, clearly in disbelief.

"I'm not sure," Billy replied with a slight shake of his head. He had a feeling it couldn't be that simple.

"Boss, if that's true, it's terrifying. What's the real story behind these five jade pendants?" lan furrowed his brow.

"Bob, lan, you may not know this, but out of the five jade pendants, three are already in boss's possession." Stout said with a smirk, not mincing his words.

Since they were all family, there was no need to hold back.

"What?!" lan and Bob exclaimed in shock, their faces filled with astonishment. Although they didn't know the exact purpose of the jade pendants, if they had risen to the national level of importance, they couldn't be ordinary items. With five in total, Billy had already obtained three of them.

"Boss, should we call that old man and ask him about the jade pendants? He should know something." Ian Blade suggested after regaining his composure. "He's currently not in the Ether Mountain, and I can't reach him. We'll have to wait until he returns to the mountain before we can discuss it." Billy replied. "Boss, if Ink Pavilion sends people to that village again this time, it's definitely going to be a big show. Should we make another trip there?" Night Orchid asked. "Yeah," Billy nodded slightly. "It looks like we'll have to go again."

Just then, Billy's phone rang, and he picked it up to see Judge calling.

"Judge, what's up?"

"Boss, something's not right on the Ozin side." Judge's tone sounded slightly anxious.

"What's going on?" Billy continued to inquire.

"Since yesterday afternoon, there

have been quite a few martial artists from the ancient martial world entering Ozin city, and some of them are quite formidable. I'm worried that something might happen."

Judge responded.

"Hmm?" Billy furrowed his brow slightly. After a brief thought, he instructed in a serious tone, "Call Casey and Azure Dragon, the four of them should go to Ozin and wait for me. I'll be back soon." Calling Casey and the others to Ozin wasn't just because of concerns about trouble in Ozin but also because he wanted to take them to Nigel Hall's hometown.

"Alright," Judge said before hanging up.

"Boss, is something wrong?" After Billy put away his phone, Night Orchid asked.

"Yeah," Billy nodded and then recounted what Judge had said.

"Are some troublemakers trying to stir up trouble again?" Bob furrowed his brow. After a momentary pause, as if realizing something, he looked at Billy and continued, "Boss, could it be that Ink Pavilion is intentionally revealing their whereabouts to lure you back to Ozin and simultaneously strike at Arthur Fowler's Side?" Bob speculated.

"Most likely," Billy nodded. "And it's not just Ink Pavilion, I suspect there may be others involved as well."

He naturally guessed this possibility;

the other party was setting a trap for

him again. And this time, he knew it was the other side's scheme, but he didn't have a choice. His family was in Ozin and thus Billy had to go back onee.

"Tomorrow, each of you three selects a hundred brothers to set up camp near Nigel Hall's hometown. I'll head back to Ozin first." Billy instructed Bob Stokes and the others. "Got it!" they all responded simultaneously.

"Night Orchid, make a call to Azure Fang, Frostblade, and Soul Chaser, and have them bring a group of people to join you."

"Sure thing!" Night Orchid nodded vigorously.

"Stout, come with me to Ozin," Billy said as he got up and headed towards the door. Stout followed him.

That evening, Billy returned home from SHADOW base in Ozin.

"Daddy!" Tasha, who was playing with her toys, dropped them and ran over when she saw Billy.

"Tasha, let me see if you've gained weight." Billy smiled and bent down to pick Tasha up.

"Tasha hasn't gotten fat. Tasha doesn't want to become as fat as Uncle Stout, that's ugly."

Stout, who had just returned to the adjacent villa with Judge, inexplicably sneezed and muttered to himself, wondering who was thinking about him.

"Haha..." Billy laughed heartily. Then, he greeted Fletcher and Sharon, "Dad, Mom, where's Harleen?"

"Harleen's taking a bath. Haven't you had dinner yet? I'll heat up some food for you," Sharon smiled.

"Mom, no need. I already ate at SHADOW." Billy put down Tasha and smiled.

"Well, then have some chicken soup. Harleen said you'd be coming home today, so Sharon specially made you some homemade chicken soup." Said Fletcher. "Thanks, Mom!" Billy nodded with a smile.

"Welcome back, dear." Harleen came out of the bathroom not long after and looked at Billy affectionately as she softly spoke.
