Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Their methods were very professional, and it would be difficult to make any breakthroughs in the short term.” Billy said solemnly from inside the car.

“Should we go find Miss Knight again?” Casey nodded slightly. “See if she can provide any clues?”

Billy took a deep breath before nodding in response. Casey pulled out his phone and sent a message to track Harleen’s location, then stepped on the gas pedal.

Half an hour later, Casey drove into an old-fashioned neighborhood. After several twists and turns, they stopped in front of a dilapidated building.

“Miss Knight lives on the first floor with her sister and parents!” Casey looked at Billy sitting in the passenger seat and spoke up.

Billy let out a heavy sigh of guilt as he looked at the almost dangerous building, “I’m responsible for getting them involved.” After speaking, he pushed open the door and got out of the car.

“Dad, please help me beg Grandpa again to send someone to find Tasha…”

As soon as they walked into the entrance of the building, they heard Harleen sobbing inside.

“Alas… it’s not that I don’t want to help you. You saw it yesterday too, they won’t even let me through the mansion gate. I can’t see your grandpa…”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Harleen’s father, Fletcher Knight, sighed in response. “I tried calling him, but he won’t pick up. What do you want me to do?”

“You should call Uncle Roger and ask him to talk to Grandpa for us. You helped him so much before, he’ll be grateful.” Harleen’s voice rang out again.

“I already did that. As soon as he saw my number, he hung up.” Fletcher sighed again.

“We… we can go back to Ozin and find him. He must be at the company…” Harleen was unwilling and continued speaking.

“Harleen, when will you come to your senses?” A middle-aged woman shouted loudly. She must be Harleen’s mother, Sharon Knight.

“The Knight family has nothing to do with us anymore. They won’t care about our life or death anymore. Do you understand?! Everything today is caused by yourself. You can’t blame anyone else for ruining your own life! When I asked you to abort that child, you refused and even ran away from home giving birth outside! Now do you know what heaven or hell is like with just one thought? If it wasn’t for that little bastard, we wouldn’t have ended up in Cloud City. By now you would have been Mrs Malcom!”

“Mom! Let me say it again, Tasha is not a little bastard, she’s my daughter and she has a father!” Harleen responded loudly, “I don’t want to hear those two words from your mouth ever again!”

“What good does shouting at me do?” Sharon spoke out loud once more.

“She has a father? Where is her father then?”

“In all these years has he ever come here even once just look at his daughter? Has he ever called or sent any money?”

“Nobody has heard from him in five years.”

“Mom, please stop talking. Harleen is already upset enough!” A young woman’s voice rang out, and it was none other than Harleen’s sister, Felicia Knight.

“Why should I stop talking? Did I say something wrong? Is there anything I said that wasn’t right?” Sharon retorted.

“If that man had even an ounce of responsibility, he would have contacted her by now! Only someone as brainless as your sister would willingly give birth to his daughter.”

Upon hearing this, Billy trembled slightly and his eyes turned red. As a husband and father, he felt like such a failure. He owed so much to Harleen and Tasha. Taking a deep breath, he walked towards the Knight family’s door. The wooden door inside was open but the iron gate outside was closed.

Felicia asked them as she saw the two of them standing nearby, “Excuse me, are you looking for someone?”

Felicia didn’t recognize Billy. Although he had lived in Ozin for many years, he rarely showed up in activities of the playboys before and he used to stay at campus most of the time. Besides, after all these years of living in an army barracks, Billy had changed in terms of his appearance and temperament. Thus Felicia didn’t know him.

“Hello, Miss, we’re looking for Miss Harleen.” Casey replied on behalf of both of them.

Upon hearing his words, Harleen and her parents inside all looked over at Billy.

“What are you doing here? I don’t want to see you again, get out of here!” Harleen shouted loudly at Billy.

Billy took a deep breath and continued speaking, “Harleen, I’m sorry. I was wrong to blame you earlier. I am so sorry. I know you have endless anger and resentment towards me. I admit that I am not a qualified father. But right now, the most important thing is to find Tasha as soon as possible. Every minute she’s missing puts her in more danger. After we find Tasha, you can do whatever you want with me.”

“What!?” Sharon immediately yelled out upon hearing this, “You’re the little bastard’s…”

“Mom!” Harleen shouted loudly, “If you say those two words again, from now on, I won’t consider you my mother!”

“You…” Sharon glared fiercely at Harleen. Then she turned back to face Billy and roared, “How dare you show up in front of us! Do you know that because of you, we lost our whole family? I-I GOTTA SKIN YOU!”

As she said, Sharon turned around and picked a knife up from a table nearby and ran to the door.

Casey flashed and stood in front of Billy.

“Move!” Billy ordered.

“Commander!” Casey turned his head to look at him.

“Didn’t you hear me telling you to move aside?”

Casey then stepped back.

“Mom, what are you doing!?” At the same time, Harleen and Felicia grabbed Sharon from both sides.

“Let me go! He has caused us so much trouble, I must kill him…” Sharon finally collapsed onto the ground and started wailing and crying loudly.

“Mr and Mrs Knight, I’m sorry.” Billy deeply bowed to them.

“Please believe me, from now on, I will compensate you thousands of times for what you have lost.” He added.

“Please don’t cause trouble here, just leave now!” Felicia glanced at him speechlessly.

She didn’t understand why her sister would be with this ordinary man. Besides his face, she couldn’t find any other advantages for this man.

“Harleen, I came to find you because I wanted to know if anything special has happened with Tasha in the past few days.” Billy said and looked towards Harleen.

“Trust me, as long as I know who took Tasha, I will be able to bring her back!”

“Everything has been normal these past two days, nothing special happened.” Harleen took a deep breath to calm down.

As far as she was concerned, she had reached the end of her rope and now, apart from relying on Billy, she had no other choice. As for the situation between herself and Billy, that was another matter entirely. Everything could wait until Tasha was rescued.

“So, have there been any incidents lately where strangers have followed or approached you?” Billy asked when Harleen acknowledged him.

“Not that I know of.” Harleen shook her head.

As Billy was about to say more, they were interrupted by a loud commotion in the hallway.

The sound of chaotic footsteps echoed through the corridor. Soon after, a young man with a bruised face and bandaged arm stumbled in, followed by over ten men dressed in black carrying knives and sticks. The already narrow hallway became even more crowded.
