The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Endless grievances

"Anything works?" Tony smirked.

"Y-yes." Harleen responded with a trembling voice.

"I fucking asked you nicely, what a cheap woman!" Tony sneered and then his tone turned serious.

"I can help you find that little bastard, but two conditions! First, come, sit by me, make me happy. Second, you must unconditionally accompany me for a month and be at my beck and call after I help you find that little bastard!"

"I-I promise you." Harleen gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Come sit over here quickly!" Tony patted the empty seat next to him. "Give me a massage first!"

"Make me comfortable, I will call someone to help you find that little bastard."

"I hope you keep your promises when you speak..." Harleen took a deep breath and stood up, then sat down next to Tony.

"Come here, bitch!" Before Harleen could even sit down completely, Tony immediately pulled her into his arms.

Boom!

Just then, the door exploded open like it was made of paper, and wood chips flew everywhere. Soon after, Billy's figure appeared at the door, with cold eyes and raging anger. He stared silently at the two people on the sofa.

Harleen, who had just realized what was happening, screamed and struggled out of Tony's arms.

"Damn, who dares to ruin my good time? Do you have a death wish?" Tony shouted angrily.

Meanwhile, Harleen trembled all over when she recognized Billy. Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. Her eyes flashed with a complex mix of shock, resentment, grievance, and even a hint of anticipation.

Why him?

How could the man who ruined her life suddenly appear before her?

Five years ago on that day, she had saved his life out of kindness but he took away the most precious thing from her in return. As Ozin's top beauty and also the daughter of the Knight family, she had a bright future ahead of her. But everything came to an abrupt end since that day. When she found out about her pregnancy three or four months later, she couldn't bear to deprive the little life inside her so she gave birth despite all pressure against it. In these five years since then, except for herself and younger sister, everyone ridiculed and ostracized them. Even their parents couldn't understand them anymore.

And as for their grandfather who originally wanted to use Harleen's marriage as an opportunity to climb up Ozin's four big families' ladder by marrying into one, he kicked them out along with their entire family from the Knight Family when he heard about it. Harleen and father both worked at Knight Group before this happened. But now they were both unemployed because of what happened back then. Actually with Harleen's own abilities plus those of her father's combined together they could easily find decent jobs elsewhere to support themselves, but the heir of the Malcom Family made it clear that if anyone dared hire them it would be considered going against Malcom Family, which led Harleen and her father struggling in finding work everywhere they went.

Under helplessness, her father had to beg the old man of the Knight family multiple times. It was estimated that the old man was annoyed and reluctantly allowed them to work as ordinary employees in the Cloud City subsidiary of Knight Group, barely surviving on meager wages. It was also because of this reason that their family of four moved from Ozin to Cloud City.

As time went by, she gradually got used to this kind of life and had no other demands as long as her daughter could grow up healthy. But then, fate played a cruel joke on her again-her daughter went missing. To her, it was like a bolt from the blue and she felt like everything around her collapsed.

"Tasha is in trouble, don't you know?" Billy took a deep breath and looked at Harleen with cold eyes.
