The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 513 Will Harleen Be in Danger?

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Billy and Stout walked out of the capital city airport.

"Boss, Stout!" When they reached the exit, Night Orchid and another SHADOW brother welcomed them.

"Mmm," Billy gave a faint smile. "Let's go to SHADOW first."

"Alright," Night Orchid and the other brother nodded and led Billy and Stout to the car.

"Did we make any progress with the investigation of the Greenwood and Harding families, the ones you mentioned earlier?" After the car started moving, Billy asked Night Orchid.

In the capital, there were five major clans. The Leonard clan had already disappeared, while the Frazier clan had regained control under Josh Frazier's leadership, distancing themselves from the clan system. The Holmes Clan had quieted down after the incident last time, and with Harlan Holmes watching over it, there shouldn't be any subversive activities.

So for Billy, he needed to be on guard against the Greenwood and Harding clans, the two most influential clans within the capital. In particular, the Harding clan was much more powerful, with many of its members holding important positions in the various government departments.

"It's pretty much as you guessed, Boss. Many of the core members of these two families are not in the capital right now. Those who stayed are just representatives of the clans." Night Orchid replied. "Some of the talented younger generation members from the clans have been sent away, most of them placed in different martial arts sects, with a few even sent overseas." Billy nodded.

This was in line with his expectations. Throughout history, the prominent clans and influential families within the country had such arrangements. These clans and families were affiliated with the ancient martial sects and served as vessels for absorbing the nation's resources.

These clans knew well that the capital had long harbored intentions to target them, but they hadn't made up their minds to act yet. However, that day would eventually come, so they had to prepare early and send their potential talents to the ancient martial world.

Even if one day the capital did take action against them and all the clan members in the capital were executed, it wouldn't extinguish their lineage. In a few decades, once the potential talents they had sent out had grown up, with the support of their sects, they could rebuild the clan.

A centipede might die, but it wouldn't stay dead.

"When you mentioned this morning that there have been unfamiliar faces from several big families showing up recently, is it related to these people?" Billy continued.

"Yes," Night Orchid nodded. "According to the feedback from our brothers, these individuals mostly come from the ancient martial world, and quite a few are the outstanding young talents from various major families."

"But we haven't found out what they're planning."

"Mmm," Billy nodded slightly. "Have our brothers keep an eye on them but don't take action yet. Let them do as they please for now."

"Understood." Night Orchid replied.

At that moment, Night Orchid's phone rang.

"Brigham, what's up?" After answering the call, Night Orchid asked.

"Night Orchid, Mrs Knight somehow got wind of Raven's whereabouts and is now alone at the Raven's bar looking for him." Brigham Bush's voice came through the phone.

After a slight pause, he continued, "I'd like to ask for instructions. Should we step in?"

Night Orchid had received a call from Billy earlier in the morning, so he had arranged for his men to track Harleen's phone number as soon as she arrived in the capital. She didn't want anything to happen to Harleen.

Night Orchid was slightly stunned. "Just hold on."

Afterward, he relayed Brigham Bush's words to Billy.

"Oh?" Billy was also a bit surprised. He didn't expect that Harleen would go after the other party alone. She seemed to be getting more and more courageous. In fact, what he didn't know was that in the months, Harleen had been.

consciously making many changes. As she learned more and more about her husband's identity and some other information, she felt the pressure mounting. She didn't want to be a burden to Billy, nor did she want to be just a decorative piece. That's why she had insisted on learning martial arts from him.

Apart from martial arts, she had also been working on strengthening her psychological resilience. She had personally dealt with many tricky situations for Sun Park Group. She wanted to narrow the gap between herself and Billy little by little through her efforts.

"Give me the phone," Billy said after a brief thought, taking the phone from Night Orchid. "Brigham, you and your men keep an eye on her, but don't interfere unless absolutely necessary." "Understood!" Brigham Bush replied.

"Later, send me the address of that bar to Night Orchid's phone." Billy instructed.

"Okay!" Brigham acknowledged and hung up.

"Boss, do you think Mrs Knight will be in danger?" Night Orchid asked, taking the phone from Billy.

"She'll be fine. Harleen has reached the mid-stage of Warlord, and she won't be in danger from ordinary thugs." Billy said with a faint smile.

"But..." Night Orchid hesitated.

"If this is indeed targeted at me, as you suspected, showing our faces too early would startle the snakes. Let them make their move for now." Billy smiled again, cutting her off. "Boss, are you trying to fish?" Stout raised an eyebrow.

"If this Raven doesn't know the background of SunPark Group, he's probably just doing this for money. A little bait will likely do the trick." Billy said, ignoring Stout's remark.

Night Orchid nodded. "That's quite possible. If not, it would take a lot of courage to go after SunPark Group."

While they talked, Brigham Bush's text message came in.

"Boss, should we go now?" Night Orchid asked after checking her phone.

Billy nodded slightly. "Let's go to the bar and find a place nearby to sit and wait."

The bar Brigham Bush mentioned was located on a bustling commercial street in the east of the city. As Billy and his team headed to the bar, Harleen had already gotten out of the car and walked into the bar's main hall.

At this time, the bar wasn't tooOriginal content from NôvelDrama.Org.

crowded, and the moment Harleen entered, all eyes were on her. The reason was simple: her appearance and temperament were in stark contrast to the typical clientele of the bar, and everyone's eyes were filled with amazement.

"Hey there, gorgeous! Are you here alone? How about a drink with me?" A man sitting at the bar approached Harleen with a glass in his hand.

"I'm not interested," Harleen coldly replied with a frown.

"Serendipity has brought us together, and you don't need to push people away. Once you've had a drink with me, we'll be friends." The man insisted.

Harleen's icy gaze didn't deter him.

He was a regular at this bar and had seen countless women of all kinds, but there was absolutely no one who could compare to Harleen. Encountering such a top-notch beauty, if he didn't seize the opportunity he would be doing himself a disservice.

"If you don't want to trouble yourself, you better step aside right now." Harleen said, her delicate eyebrows furrowing.

"It's alright if you don't want a drink. How about dancing with me instead?"

Setting down his glass, the man reached out to grab Harleen's wrist.
