The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 184 A Silent Confrontation

Chapter 184 A Silent Confrontation

A bout of coughing erupted in the car.

"Frostblade, can't you be a little less aggressive? You're always ready to attack!" One of the men complained.

The other party was from the Capital Defense Bureau and Imperial Guard Bureau. Even though SHADOW wasn't afraid of them, if they were killed here, Billy's group wouldn't be able to enter the city anymore.

"What's with your big reaction?" Frostblade retorted. "If you guys are too scared, I'll go down alone!"

Night Orchid quickly grabbed Frostblade's hand and said anxiously, "Frostblade, calm down first and listen to what Boss will say."

"Boss, what do we do now?" Judge asked Billy.

"Why are you all so nervous? Maybe they just happened to pass by here and stopped because they saw our car." Billy replied calmly with a hint of coldness in his eyes. He was well aware that someone was trying to make things difficult for him. The other party was smart enough to send people from both the Capital Defense Bureau and Imperial Guard Bureau as a 'welcome committee'. Even if the news got out, their intervention would be considered justified, since these two organizations were responsible for safeguarding the capital city and its surrounding areas.

"You mean...?" Brigham Bush sitting in the driver's seat asked tentatively after being slightly taken aback by Billy's response.

"Don't you understand?" Night Orchid raised her lips, "The people from the Capital Defense Bureau and Imperial Guard Bureau are passing by here. They're making way for us. Hurry up and drive, don't keep them waiting too long. It will be rude."

Night Orchid understood what Billy meant - Billy had no intention of paying attention to the other party. Let them do as they please!

Spike Arnold and the others also understood Billy's meaning, and their eyes lit up at the same time.

"Ah? Okay!" Brigham Bush responded seriously after a momentary daze. Immediately afterwards, he stepped on the gas pedal with force and drove off in his extended off-road vehicle.

At the same time, four men standing in the middle of the road saw that instead of slowing down, Brigham was actually speeding up his extended off-road vehicle. They furrowed their brows simultaneously.

"Sir, what are they gonna do?" one of them who looked around forty-five years old narrowed his eyes and spoke to the oldest man among them in a deep voice.

"I don't know," Ebenezer Rowe replied with a serious expression as he stared ahead, harboring a bad feeling about this situation.

During their conversation, the extended off-road vehicle had arrived within a few dozen meters of the four people, and a sudden honking sound rang out.

"Damn, do they want to just charge straight through?" Oscar, the number four person in the Imperial Guard Bureau, shouted in a deep voice.

"So arrogant. I want to see how they get past me today!" He said as he exuded an imposing aura and drew his sword from his side. He was confident that with his strength alone he could easily slice the extended off-road vehicle in half with one swing.

"What are you doing?" Ebenezer Rowe frowned and looked at Oscar before speaking sternly. "Do you want to die?"

"Oscar, put away your sword. Don't be reckless!" Stan Mitchell, the head of Imperial Guard Bureau also spoke up at the same time.

They both knew very well that their opponent was clearly trying to provoke them into making the first move. If Oscar made this strike now it would only escalate things further.

Assassinating a high-ranking SHADOW official was tantamount to rebellion. It was an absolute crime. At that point, their opponents would have every reason to attack them even if they killed all four of them; and there would be no repercussions from higher-ups. And based on what they knew about Commander Gardner's temperament - if he were provoked into action, all four of them combined probably wouldn't even be enough for him to bother with.

"Get out of our way!"

In just an instant while everyone blinked their eyes several times over, the extended off-road vehicle had already arrived right beside them. Ebenezer Rowe's pupils slightly contracted as he immediately stepped aside several meters away from it.

The other three people didn't hesitate after hearing this command either. They quickly moved aside by stepping onto one side of road or another.

Almost simultaneously, off-road vehicles flew past them without any signs of braking. If they had been a little slower, they would have been knocked out.

Whoosh!

The SHADOW convoy followed closely behind the off-road vehicle.

The men standing next to the other car were stunned as they watched the convoy pass by in front of them.

"This is outrageous!" Oscar turned around and looked at the departing extended off-road vehicle with a face so dark.

The faces of the other three were equally ugly, like they had just swallowed a fly. They had come here early in the morning to wait for this moment, fearing that they would miss their chance. Now that their opponent's convoy had arrived, but they didn't even stop.

"What do we do now?" Denton Sandoval, Capital Defense Bureau's number two man asked Ebenezer Rowe.

"What else can we do? Follow them immediately!" Ebenezer Rowe frowned and got into his car.

In fact, if he had a choice, he wouldn't have stepped into this mess. He was very aware that today's events were going to be thankless no matter how he handled it. he was going to offend someone no matter what. And, from the depths of his heart, he really didn't want to confront Commander Gardner like this. He had always held a deep respect for him. Apart from the contribution Commander Gardner had made to this country as King of the West, crime within their borders had decreased by at least 70-80% compared to two years ago since Billy Gardner started serving as the master of SHADOW two years ago. Besides, in these past two years, they had captured more S- level and above wanted criminals than in the previous ten years combined.

Since its inception, SHADOW had changed many leaders but none could match Billy's contribution. As Ebenezer Rowe, head of Capital Defense Bureau, he was at least able to distinguish right from wrong.

Commander Gardner was a great asset to this country and could bear the weight of these words: "Heavenly Luck Descends Upon Us". Therefore, he would never willingly stand against Billy

Gardner. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

However, one could not choose where they stood when it came to politics. He was in his current position and thus he must act accordingly.

...

An hour later, the extended off-road vehicle parked outside SHADOW's base located on the east side of town. Billy and his team got out and walked into the conference hall on the east side of campus.

"Boss, people from Capital Defense Bureau and Imperial Guard Bureau have followed us here. They're currently waiting outside our gate, what should we do?" Night Orchid asked after answering a phone call.

"Notify everyone that SHADOW will be holding an internal meeting today, no visitors allowed!" Billy calmly responded.

"Understood!" Night Orchid nodded before sending out a message on her phone.

"Boss, do you think they'll rush in?" Soul Chaser asked.

"It's better if they do. I'm afraid they don't have the guts." Azure Fang responded with a cold glint in his eyes.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Billy waved his hand and turned to Night Orchid.

"First, tell us about Alvin Leonard's situation."
