The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Too Late

Within the borders of Ozin's neighboring city, Cloud City, to the south of town, a license plate-less business van sped out from an abandoned factory and headed towards the outskirts.

Inside the van were three tattooed men and a four or five-year-old girl besides the driver. The little girl's face was pale with fear as her big eyes showed nothing but terror. She trembled slightly all over.

"Baldy, how could you mess up like this?" The man with a scar on his face turned to the bald man and said in a deep voice.

"You were supposed to keep an eye on this little girl! How come you didn't even notice she had a phone on her?"

"I'm sorry, Boss. It was my mistake." Replied the bald man quickly.

"I didn't expect such a young kid would have a phone with her." Said Scarface.

"We're lucky we found out early, otherwise if she called for help we'd be in big trouble!"

"Got it, Boss!" Baldy nodded vigorously.

"Boss, who wants this little girl? The commission they gave us is quite generous, she must be someone important." Another crew member with short hair asked curiously.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Just focus on your own job." Scarface responded coldly.

A deep sense of dread flashed through his eyes as he spoke about their client's identity. It made him shiver uncontrollably.

"I'm just curious," Short Hair replied, "Do you know why they want this little girl?"

"It's said that they're going to do a heart transplant for another little girl." Scarface nodded slightly in response.

"Damn! That's so cruel! Then this girl is doomed?" Buzz cut guy gasped.

"What do you think?" Scarface glanced at him.

Buzz cut guy shrugged his shoulders.

"Tasha won't die. Dad... Dad will come to save Tasha..."

Upon hearing their conversation, the little girl cried loudly.

"Where is your dad from?" Baldy turned to the little girl and asked.

"You are a bastard who doesn't even know who your daddy is. Your mother doesn't even know who he is!"

"Tasha isn't a bastard, Tasha has a dad..." The little girl continued crying and said, "You... You bad people, my... My daddy will never let you go..."

"Even if you have a dad, he probably died long ago. Otherwise why hasn't he come looking for you all these years?"

"Dad Isn't dead, he will come to save Tasha..." The little girl shook her head vigorously, "Dad will come..."

"When do you think your dad can come and save you? Tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow?" Baldy grinned.

"Unfortunately, tonight you're going into surgery. After tonight, even if your dad comes, you won't see him anymore!"

"No... It's not true. Tasha will see him..." The little girl burst into tears again.

"That's enough, don't tease her anymore." Scarface spoke up before turning to the driver, "Find an unmonitored place to change cars before we leave."

"Got it, boss!" The driver nodded in response.

At 1 pm, a military jeep pulled up to the entrance of an abandoned factory in the southern part of Cloud City.
