The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Under Martial Law

"Miss Knight, where are you going?" Casey called out to Harleen as he had just finished dealing with 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 rang 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 help 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 your 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.
