The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 121 A Map

Chapter 121 A Map

One minute later, Billy appeared again inside the castle.

The courtyard was already filled with corpses and blood flowed like a river. Every member of the Blood Hall who had fought to resist had been killed. These people from Place of Darkness, every single one of them, had innocent blood on their hands. Killing them ten times over wouldn't be enough. Casey and his team never intended to let them go.

"Boss!"

"Commander!"

Upon seeing Billy, all three shouted at once.

Billy nodded slightly and said, "Let's leave here."

The three responded with nods.

Two minutes later, they drove away in their car.

With that, Blood Hall ranking fifth among Place of Darkness officially became history.

"Boss, are you okay?" Casey asked as they drove away for a while.

Judge looked at Billy with a slightly worried expression, clearly sharing the same concern. He knew that Billy's injuries were severe, and he was worried that Billy's old wounds might have resurfaced after his battle with the Devil of Blood today.

"I'm fine." Billy replied.

"Commander, were you injured?" Rakshasa next to him looked surprised.

To be able to easily kill a top Warlord even when injured was terrifying! What if he were in perfect condition?

"Just a little injury." Billy responded.

"Commander, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. You've been inconvenienced because of me." Rakshasa took a deep breath before continuing to speak.

"I... I didn't tell you everything. Please forgive me."

"You finally decided to speak up?" Judge spoke in a deep voice. "For your sake, both Ms Harleen Knight and Tasha were almost implicated. Are you treating us like your free bodyguards?"

He and Casey had already suspected something for a long time, but they hadn't asked because Billy hadn't mentioned it.

"I'm sorry... so sorry..." Rakshasa said guiltily.

"What are you hiding from us?" Casey spoke harshly.

"Somebody posted a bounty on Place of Darkness for one map with very tempting conditions," Rakshasa took another deep breath before continuing to speak again

"What kind of map?" Judge asked.

"I don't know what use the map has, everyone only knows about its existence but very few people know what it can do. It's just that the reward is too tempting which makes everyone flock towards it." Rakshasa said and shook her head.

"So what you're saying is that you know where the map is?" Judge asked after some thought.

"Two months ago, I was being chased by Blood Hall's people when I met an injured Battle God on my escape route." Rakshasa nodded her head slightly.

"He was almost dying at the time cause he was completely beaten and had only one breath left in him."

"He asked me to do him a favor, to find a way to notify his family to escape for their lives. In exchange, he showed me the map."

"But he didn't give it to me because he was afraid I would get into trouble. He just told me to remember as much as I could before destroying it himself."

"I wanted to learn more about the map, but at that time he was already at his wits' end. After destroying the map, he lost all hope." Rakshasa explained.

"How did the people from Blood Hall know that you knew about the map?" Casey asked.

"I'm not exactly sure." Rakshasa replied with a shake of his head.

"It wasn't until later when I found out that this person had been seriously injured because of the map. Before then, many people probably already knew about it being on him." Rakshasa continued.

"So it's possible those people from Blood Hall who were chasing after me suspected I had contact with him and therefore thought I had the map on me."

After speaking, she turned apologetically towards Billy, "Commander Gardner... I'm sorry for not telling you earlier, I never expected those people from Blood Hall..."

"Enough!" Billy interrupted her.

To him, whether or not Rakshasa told him didn't make any difference. He knew very well that since killing two Battle Generals of Blood Hall that day, conflict with them was inevitable.

Besides, from the information he had gathered, it seemed that over the past year, several sinister countries had been infiltrating Glavale, either directly or indirectly, through the power of the Place of Darkness.

So, even without the Rakshasa incident, he knew that sooner or later, he would cross paths with the Place of Darkness. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"Commander Gardner, I still remember that map vividly. I can sketch it out for you." Rakshasa paused briefly before continuing to speak.

"It's fine," Billy shook his head. "I have no interest in Place of Darkness' affairs!"

Whether or not what Rakshasa saw was real didn't matter, as King of the West, Billy wouldn't be interested in such matters anymore; there weren't many things left capable of piquing his curiosity these days anyway, no to mention the affairs of Place of Darkness.

After a brief pause, he looked at Rakshasa and asked.

"When I killed Devil of Blood just now, I met a man in black robes who Devil called a messenger. Do you know who that is?"

"Messenger?!" Rakshasa's pupils slightly contracted, "Does he wear a skull mask on his head?"

Billy nodded. "Who was it?"

"That was a messenger from Sanctum of Darkness!" Rakshasa paused and continued, "He should have come to stop you from killing Devil of Blood? What happened later?"

"I killed him!" Billy responded lightly. "What is Sanctum of Darkness?"

Upon hearing Billy's words, Rakshasa was shocked by Billy's decisiveness and speed of action.

"If we compare Place of Darkness to a country then Sanctum of Darkness would be like their law enforcement agency," Rakshasa steadied her emotions and continued speaking.

"On paper they regulate order in this world but in reality they use law enforcement as an excuse to satisfy their own desires."

"However, because there are too many strong individuals in Sanctum of Darkness, other powers can only be silently resentful." Explained her.

"Is this for real? I can't believe there's an organization like Place of Darkness." Exclaimed Judge incredulously.

"The messenger you encountered earlier, Commander Gardner, he is responsible for enforcing the law in Place of Darkness on behalf of Sanctum of Darkness." Said Rakshasa with concern evident in her voice.

"To maintain their authority, anyone who disrespects the messengers of Sanctum of Darkness will face severe retaliation."

"If they find out that you killed one of their messengers, they won't let it go." Added Rakshasa.

"What's so scary about a weak organization like Sanctum of Darkness? They better watch themselves or we'll tear down their whole operation!" interrupted Judge.

Ahem!

Rakshasa cleared her throat before continuing.

It was true what they say-birds of a feather flock together. The people around Commander Gardner seemed just as ruthless as he was!

Life and death were just part and parcel to them. If someone dared to challenge them, they would fight back!
