The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 5 Under Martial Law

"Miss Knight, where are you going?" Casey called out to Harleen as he had just finished dealing witt Tony in the hallway. However, Harleen completely ignored him and soon disappeared at the staircase.

"Stop Harleen!" Billy shouted as he rushed out of his room.

After hearing Harleen's tearful confession earlier, he vaguely felt that he might have misunderstood her.

"Got it!" Casey turned around and chased after her. Just as he had taken a few steps, his phone ranc and he answered it while running.

“Really!?" The next moment, Casey stopped in his tracks

He then frowned and replied, "We'll be right there!"

"What happened?” Billy had caught up to her by now.

"We found those four people who kidnapped Tasha.” Casey spoke with a heavy voice after hanging up. "But they're already dead.”

"Huh!?" Billy furrowed his eyebrows and looked towards where Harleen disappeared before saying hesitantly, "Let's go check it out first!"

For him now, saving Tasha was more important than anything else.

Three minutes later, Casey stepped on the gas pedal and drove off in their car at full speed. "Commander, you might have misunderstood Miss Knight." Casey spoke while driving.

“I have interrogated the son of the Pena family. Miss Knight came to see him today, asking for his help in finding Tasha. According to his description, Miss Knight also doesn't know who kidnapped Tasha. After Tasha was taken away, Miss Knight was almost going crazy with anxiety and sought hel, from everyone she knew, but none of the capable people were willing to lend a hand. She also reported to the police, but so far there have been no clues or progress. Under the circumstances of having no other options, she had to turn to Tony Pena. He proposed a condition that he could help find Tasha, but Miss Knight had to... She was forced to do so and had no choice but to do it in order to find Tasha.”

Billy nodded slightly, his eyes turning red. The feeling of guilt in his heart surged like a flash flood, filling every cell in his body. He couldn't control the trembling that spread throughout his entire being.

“I am such a jerk!"

When Harleen was in her most painful and helpless state, not only did he fail to comfort her properly, but he also doubted her like that. He was really unworthy of being a man.

The next moment, Billy spat some blood out, since his breath was in a state of chaos.

"Commander! Are you okay? Don't be too guilty. Take care of yourself. You have old injuries on you body. Under the influence of impatience and anger, it will inevitably worsen your injuries.”

As Billy's deputy, Casey was very aware of the injuries on Billy's body. Two years ago, Billy fought alongside ten of the top warriors from ten different countries. Although he ultimately took down all ten opponents, he himself was heavily injured by them and his cultivation greatly declined. Despite having medical skills that were just as incredible as his martial arts abilities, Billy couldn't heal himself. His injuries were too severe and there was no possibility of a quick recovery. He could only rely on time to slowly recover.

“I'm fine!" Billy wiped away the bloodstains on his hand. "Faster!"

"Got it!" Casey accelerated again and spoke up once more, "Commander, don't worry too much. Tasha will be okay!"

Billy didn't respond to him. His gaze became sharp as he stared ahead with killing intent emanating from him.

Forty minutes later, Casey parked the car at a junkyard.

Looking around, they saw about forty or fifty people wearing SWAT uniforms gathered around a small car nearby discussing something

"Hello officers, which one of you is Captain Kimmons?"

“I am." Casey said.

The leader of the group-a man in his fifties-quickly walked over to them with an extremely respectful tone, "I am Winston Kim from Cloud City Police Department. Sir, please give me your instructions.”

An hour ago, Winston had been leading a special meeting at headquarters when halfway through, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was his immediate boss calling. After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but shudder with a look of shock on his face and sweat pouring down his body. He had a feeling that something big would happen in Cloud City.

His boss informed him over the phone that Army of Bloodshadow's big shot's daughter had been kidnapped, and it happened in Cloud City. As the head of the police station here, he naturally knew what Army of Bloodshadow meant. That was an army created by Billy Gardner, also known as King of the West. Billy personally created an army from scratch, which had never lost a battle in hundred: of battles both big and small. It made all enemy countries tremble with fear. Now, someone dared to offend Bloodshadow.

"How is the situation?" Casey asked Winston as they walked towards their car.

"Sir, four thugs were all killed with their throats cut by someone with sharp blades. There was no clue left on the scene.” Winston took a deep breath and responded. He couldn't help but glance at Billy.

Although Billy didn't say a word, he appeared special, making Winston feel intimidated. He had never experienced this feeling before. Unconsciously, a storm arose in Winston's heart, and he had already speculated about Billy's identity.

That made him even more frightened. He never thought that it was Commander's daughter who had an accident.

How he wished to arrest those people who kidnapped Billy Gardner's daughter and torture them during their execution!

In no time, the three people arrived at the car, and Billy bent down to get into it.

Four men sat paralyzed in the car, each with a blood cut in their throats and their upper bodies wer soaked in blood.

When he saw a little child's shoe left behind on the back seat, a towering rage spread from Billy anc instantly enveloped the entire space. All police officers, including Winston, shuddered at the same time. The suffocating feeling was a mountain down on them, making it hard for them to catch their breath.

"Sir, may I ask if he is...?" Winston asked Casey outside the car.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" Casey responded in a low voice, "Knowing too much is not good for you!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Investigate them!" Billy spoke coldly after getting off the car. "Find out the identities of these four people as quickly as possible, and who they have had contact with in the past few days. Report back immediately upon finding any suspicious individuals.”

"Yes, sir!" Winston saluted in response.

"You are personally responsible for this matter.” Billy looked back at Winston and added, "And tell your people not to reveal our identities.”

With those words, Billy turned and walked towards their car with Casey following closely behind.

As soon as his command was issued, all police stations in Cloud City began to move and the entire city was put under martial law.
