The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 521 A War God-Emperor's Courage

Pop Harding was not only the top talent of the Harding clan but also one of the most outstanding students at Cerulean Abyss Institute. He had a promising future ahead of him, but now he had lost an arm. Even if he managed to reattach it, his martial arts progress would likely be severely hindered. This was something he found hard to accept.

"Now you know what it means to be narrow-minded?" Bob Stokes sheathed his sword and said coldly.

"Rascal, I'll fight you!" Pop Harding roared in anger, seemingly going berserk and charging toward Bob Stokes.

"Master Pop, don't go. You are not his match right now." The two members of the Greenwood clan quickly blocked his way.

"Go back and tell your clan leader that the matter with Nanrania isn't over. They should prepare themselves." Billy said to the Greenwood brothers.

"Pop, we're leaving!" The two of them looked at Billy with ice-cold expressions, then helped Pop Harding pick up his severed arm from the ground.

"Your revenge for your severed arm will be repaid a hundredfold one day." Pop Harding said with a deep breath, looking at Billy with a stern expression. With that, he turned and left without looking back. He knew that staying would put his life at risk.

The other three followed closely behind.

"Billy!" After the four of them had left, Harleen and her group quickly approached.

"Harleen, let me introduce my two brothers." Billy smiled and gave a brief introduction of Bob Stokes and Ian Blade to Harleen. However, he didn't go into too much detail, including their origins and current positions. Sharing that information would be too abrupt.

"Are you Mrs Knight?" After hearing Billy's introduction, Bob Stokes was surprised.

lan Blade had a similarly astonished expression. They hadn't expected their big sister to visit the capital.

After a brief pause, Bob continued with an exaggerated expression, "I've heard that you're a stunning beauty, and now I see that it's not just a rumor!"

"Mrs Knight, it's nice to meet you!" Ian Blade scratched his head and said to Harleen, "Only someone like you can match our boss!"

"Thank you for your compliments, Bod and lan!" Harleen responded with a smile.

"Boss, shall we return to SHADOW and continue our discussion?" Night Orchid looked at Billy and said.

"Sure." Billy nodded with a smile.

An hour later, everyone returned to SHADOW and gathered in the conference hall.

"Boss, what exactly happened today? Why did Pop Harding and the others come to you?" Bob Stokes asked after everyone had taken their seats.

"Let me explain, Bob." Night Orchid gave a brief summary of the events leading up to the confrontation.

"He's utterly audacious, targeting Mrs Knight for no reason!" Bob Stokes exclaimed. "If I had known, I should have taken his life earlier!"

"I'll definitely kill him another day!" Ian Blade wore a similarly angered expression.

"Boss, did Pop Harding mention why he came to see you?" Night Orchid asked Billy.

"Have you heard of Ruthless Lordling?" Billy asked lan Blade and Bob Stokes.

"Ruthless Lordling?" Ian Blade, Bob Stokes, and Stout all looked surprised.

They all came from the world of ancient martial arts and had naturally heard of the Eight Marvels in the Ancient Martial Arts world, especially since Ivy Chandler was one among them. "Bob, who is Ruthless Lordling?" Night Orchid asked, and Harleen turned her attention to Bob Stokes as well.

"Ruthless Lordling is one of the Eight Marvels in the Ancient Martial Arts world!" Bob explained the basic details.

"Boss, could this be related to Ruthless Lordling?" Night Orchid inquired after listening.

Other people also looked at Billy at the same time.

"Well!" Billy smiled faintly and nodded. "According to Pop Harding, Ruthless Lordling came to the capital specifically to challenge me."

"He's out of his mind!" Stout cursed.

"He thinks he can challenge you just because he's one of the Eight Marvels? He's really too full of himself!"

"Stout, since Ruthless Lordling is one of the Eight Marvels, his skills should be quite strong, right?" Harleen asked, a bit worried.

"Don't worry, Mrs Knight. Boss can take him down with a wave of his hand." Stout said with a dismissive expression.

"One of the Eight Marvels in the Ancient Martial Arts world, he can't be that weak, can he?" Harleen still couldn't easily relax. "Harleen, don't worry, trust me." Billy reassured Harleen with a smile.

"Boss, why would Ruthless Lordling challenge you out of the blue? This matter doesn't seem so simple." Night Orchid continued after a moment of thought.

"Yes," Billy nodded slightly. He had been pondering this question since he heard about it from Pop Harding. It was undoubtedly more than just a simple challenge. "Boss, Ruthless Lordling is from Cerulean Abyss Institute. Could this be some scheme by the institute?" lan added after some contemplation.

"Oh?" Billy was momentarily

surprised, as he didn't know

Ruthless Lordling was from Cerulean Abyss Institute. Images from a recent encounter at the foot

of the Kun Lun Mountains flashed in

his mind, leading to a vague suspicion.

"Boss, should I and Bob go and bring him here to ask what he's up to?" lan suggested.

Ahem!

Stout cleared his throat.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"lan, are you serious? Conservatively

speaking, Ruthless Lordling is at

least a

War God-Emperor with bis

own God-Emperor's power. Are you

sure you can bring him here?"

"Is a newly-promoted War God-Emperor that strong?" lan responded nonchalantly.

"Alright," Stout's lips twitched.

"Don't bother with him." Billy spoke calmly, "Just keep an eye on him in the capital and don't let him cause any trouble."

"Got it!" lan and Bob both nodded.

"Alright, you two can go back now, and call me if there's anything." Billy said as he waved his hand.

"Boss, Mrs Knight has come to the capital after a long time. How about lan and I host a big dinner for her tonight?" Bob Stokes suggested.

"Thank you, Bob and lan, but there's

no need to be so formal. Just go about your business." Harleen said with a sweet smile. "If everything goes well, I'll be visiting the capital more often in the future. I'll treat you to a meal next time." S

"Alright then, Mrs Knight, goodbye!" Bob Stokes didn't insist any further.

After exchanging greetings with Billy and the others, they turned and left.
