The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 183 Intercepting On The Way

Chapter 183 Intercepting on the Way

At the same time, in a restricted area of the capital city, two elderly men sat in an office. They were Donald and that old man in plain clothes.

"He's boarded the plane!" Donald picked up his phone and glanced at the message before speaking calmly.

"Hmm." The old man nodded slightly. "Actually, it's not a good time for him to come here, in these dangerous times."

"Dangerous times? Whoever dares to cause trouble when he arrives will see how I deal with them!" Donald responded with an unpleasant tone.

"Don't make trouble for that kid!" The old man glared at Donald unkindly. "It's better if you don't show up. Things will be different when you do."

After a brief pause, he continued to ask, "Who did he bring?"

"Casey and 'Five Blades', plus Spike Arnold." Donald picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Are you sure Azure Dragon and his group of four won't come?" The old man continued to ask.

"I'm not sure." Donald shook his head decisively and put down his teacup before

"If everything goes well in his trip this time, that's fine, but if someone wants to make trouble, I'm afraid it's not just the four including Azure Dragon coming!"

"Do you want to see it happen?" The old man glared at Donald again. Afterwards, he continued to speak in a slightly worried tone, "I hope everything goes well, otherwise it will be difficult for us to

explain to that old man! Last time, Sebastian Cook from the Central War Department blocked SHADOW from taking people of Ink Pavilion. The old man found out about this and made a big fuss! If something happens again this time, he may behead a few people with his own hands!"

"Mhm!" Donald's face also showed a hint of seriousness. He knew very well what would happen if the old man mentioned by them made a move.

"Have all the major families received the message?" The old man in plain clothes continued to ask.

"Obviously!" Donald nodded.

"Did you have someone keep an eye on them?" he handed a cigarette to Donald and continued, "Especially on the Leonard family's side."

"It's useless to keep an eye on them!" Donald shook his head slightly. "That kid announced that he was inducting Spike Arnold into SHADOW Hall of Honor so publicly. He obviously gave his opponent ample preparation."

"What do you mean?" The plain-clothed old man paused for a moment.

"Do you think he came to the capital this time just for Spike Arnold? He is going to kill two birds with one stone." Donald spoke lightly, "Including what happened five years ago, although he won't take action against those people this time, giving them a warning is inevitable!" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Mhm!" The plain-clothed old man nodded slightly and took another drag from his cigarette before continuing, "Someone has to step forward. Is there anyone suitable?"

"We few old men shouldn't get involved and make things difficult for him." Donald spoke thoughtfully. "Although he came to the capital as the master of SHADOW this time, he is still part of the War Department after all. Let Cole Wilson step forward. It makes sense both emotionally and logically."

"You sly fox! You're really cunning," The plain-clothed old man rolled his eyes at Donald.

"Compared with you, I'm not worthy," replied Donald sarcastically. "Don't tell me you didn't plan on letting him step forward?"

"... This tea tastes pretty good," said the plain-clothed old man awkwardly while laughing nervously.

"Old fox!" Donald raised his teacup and gulped it down.

Both of them knew that in this critical moment of selecting a new commander-in-chief for the war department, having Cole Wilson come forward was significant.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, SHADOW's special plane landed steadily at a controlled airport on the outskirts of the capital. Subsequently, a group of eight people walked down from the gangway.

"Salute to Commander-in-Chief!"

Not far away, three thousand SHADOW soldiers knelt down simultaneously and shouted in unison with their voices soaring to the sky.

"Get up and speak!" Billy raised his hand.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" The crowd shouted again in unison.

Afterwards, a young man at the head of the team quickly ran to Billy's group and saluted them with standard military courtesy.

"Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander, and five Provincial Governors, I'm Brigham Bush."

"Is our car ready?" Night Orchid spoke up.

According to the regional division of SHADOW, the capital city belonged to the north district, so this was Night Orchid's purview. Brigham Bush was one of her subordinates who was responsible for leading SHADOW in the capital.

"Madam, everything has been prepared long ago!" Brigham Bush responded solemnly

"Boss, where are we going first?" Night Orchid then looked towards Billy asking.

"Let's head to SHADOW!" Billy responded.

"Alright," Night Orchid nodded.

Five minutes later, a convoy of vehicles headed towards the base of SHADOW in the capital city from the airport.

"Boss, who do you think will be the first to 'greet' us?" Soul Chaser asked Billy from inside their extended SUV.

"No need to ask, it's definitely people from the Capital Defense Bureau!" Judge interjected before Billy could respond. "When Commander comes to the city, they have to be on high alert. They probably haven't slept well these past few days!"

As its name suggested, the Capital Defense Bureau was a special agency responsible for ensuring security in the capital city. Like Special Patrol Force, its members were part of military units but were not under military jurisdiction and they reported directly above them. The bureau also had a permanent agency called Imperial Guard Bureau that specialized in securing and protecting areas within the capital city. Although it fell under Capital Defense Bureau's jurisdiction, Imperial Guard Bureau could often operate independently due to their unique responsibilities.

"Judge, congratulations! You got it right!" Azure Fang said with narrowed eyes as he gazed towards where they were heading on their drive.

"It doesn't seem like they're welcoming boss at all!" Soul Chaser exclaimed angrily as he looked out at what was ahead of them.

There were hundreds of off-road vehicles parked along both sides of road with flashing warning lights that seemed endless. Each vehicle had four men standing next to it; all had strong energy and serious expressions while staring intently at SHADOW's convoy passing by them.

In front of one particular vehicle stood four men ranging from thirty years old up until fifty years old. Judging by their auras, each man was above Battle God-level cultivation.

The oldest man among them was a Novice Warlord.

"Even the Imperial Guard Bureau is here. They really think highly of our boss!" Night Orchid's eyes narrowed and a coldness spread involuntarily.

"These bastards!" Judge exclaimed in anger. "Our boss, King of the West, came to the capital city and they intercepted him on the way. They're asking for death!"

"A few years ago, when I came to the capital city with our former leader, we encountered a similar situation." Spike Arnold frowned slightly. "However, at that time there were only ten people on their side. Later they took us and our leader to Capital Defense Bureau and never let us leave their office. I didn't expect them to repeat their old tricks three years later!"

"Is that so?" Billy said lightly.

"Boss, how do we handle this?" Frostblade's face was frosty as she turned to Billy.

"How about we go down there with all five of us and chop them up?"
