The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Black Eagle

"I was just here to have some fun, why talk about looking for trouble?" Billy took a drag of his cigarette. "Alright, give us the money. It's only ten billion, your gambling den should be able to handle it, right?"

"Do you know whose territory this is? Do you even realize the consequences of causing trouble here?" asked Emily.

She didn't believe that Billy's group was here to gamble. Judge's slash just now was definitely from a Battle Master level expert. She knew the three of them came prepared.

"My time is limited, so you better hurry up and give me the money. If you can't make the decision yourself, then ask for permission from above." Billy spoke calmly.

"In that case, let me see what tricks you have." Emily's tone turned cold. "Attack!"

Several black-clothed men in the room and the beautiful female dealer all launched their attacks to charge at Billy and his group.

"Stop!" Just then, a deep voice rang out followed by a group of people walking in through a side door.

The leader was a man 50-odd years old with fierce features and one arm missing. He appeared a tough and formidable guy. Following behind him was an old man with a full forehead; there seemed to be daggers shooting out of his eyes. After them, four black-clothed men were standing behind, having something bulging at their waists indicating they had weapons on them.

"Mr Twitty!" Everyone including Emily trembled before bowing down to the lead respectfully.

"Bunch of pussies!" Hannibal Twitty aka Black Eagle said sternly before turning towards Billy. "... what should I call you?"

As he spoke, there was a glint in his eyes. He vaguely felt that Billy seemed familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"My surname is Gardner!" Billy narrowed his eyes as he looked at the other man.

On the way here, Judge had already shown him a photo of Black Eagle, so he recognized him at first glance.

"Gardner?" Black Eagle furrowed his brows slightly and couldn't recall anything about it.

After pausing for a moment, he continued speaking, "The people below don't understand the rules. Don't take offense to them, Mr Gardner."

Then he turned to Emily and asked, "What are you still standing there for? You lost the bet fair and square. Give Mr Gardner his money!"

"Mr Twitty, he..." Emily hesitated slightly.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Black Eagle's tone became heavy.

"I see." Emily quickly turned around to leave the room. Less than two minutes later, she walked back in with a check in her hand and a tinge of hatred in her eye as she handed it over to Billy.

"Thanks!" Billy took the check with a faint smile on his face before turning back to Black Eagle. "There's something I want to ask Mr Twitty about. Would you be willing to share some information?"

"Oh?" Black Eagle was slightly surprised. "What do you want to know?"

"Let me start by asking an unrelated question first, should I call you Mr Twitty or Black Eagle?" Billy smiled again.

"Hmm!?" Black Eagle felt panic flooding into his heart. It had been five years since anyone had mentioned that name in front of him. But when the others in the room heard Billy's words, they too showed a strong sense of shock and tension.

"What's wrong, Mr Twitty? Can't answer this question?" Billy smirked.
