The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 446 Harleen's Concerns

Three days later, Billy, Casey, and Stout returned to Ozin. Casey took a connecting flight to the Eastern Camp, while Billy and Stout drove to the SHADOW base.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

On the way back to Ozin, Billy messaged Harleen, letting her know he was coming back.

When Harleen received the message, she was in the middle of an important meeting and told Billy that she couldn't come to pick him up today.

"Boss!" About half an hour later, the two of them arrived at SHADOW, and Judge walked over.

"Hmm," Billy replied with a faint smile, and the three of them headed towards Judge's office.

"Boss, the commotion this time was quite intense, wasn't it?" When they reached the office, Judge, after pouring them some tea, wore an exaggerated expression. Though he hadn't been to the scene in the southern territory, news of the conflict had already spread throughout their domain. Moreover, SHADOW had its own system for collecting intelligence, much more detailed than the publicly reported information and he had already learned about the situation that night.

"How's the situation with the ancient martial arts world that I asked you to keep an eye on a few days ago? Any developments?" Billy picked up his tea cup and took a sip.

"Nothing for now." Judge shook his head in response. After a slight pause, as if suddenly remembering something, he spoke with a slightly grave tone, "By the way, boss, those two missing brothers have been found, they've been killed. We're currently investigating the culprits..."

"No need to investigate," Billy interrupted him. "Sheila Harvey was behind it."

"What?!" Judge exclaimed. "How do you know it was her?"

"Not only did she do that, but she also had people impersonate members of SHADOW to harm Mark Barber." Stout explained from the side. Then he described the situation in more detail to Judge. "Damn!" Judge spoke coldly. "She really seems to be tired of living!!"

"Give Azure Fang a call. I'm heading to Celestiford in the next two days. Have him send someone to keep an eye on Sheila Harvey 24/7." Billy instructed in a stern voice.

"Got it!" Judge nodded vigorously. "She dared to kill our SHADOW brothers, this spoiled brat's time has come!"

As he spoke, he took out his phone and sent a message to Azure Fang.

After continuing their conversation for a while, Billy's phone rang, and it was Harleen calling.

"Hey, honey, is the meeting over?" Billy answered the phone and asked with a smile.

"Yeah, just finished," Harleen's soft voice came through the receiver. "Are you in Ozin now?"

"Yes, I'm at Judge's place." Billy replied with another smile.

"When you're done with your work, come home early," Harleen continued in a gentle tone. "My parents are taking Tasha out for a celebratory dinner tonight, so it'll just be the two of us at home. I'll cook dinner for you."

"Just the two of us? How about we eat out, honey?" Billy suggested.

"No," Harleen replied firmly. "You eat out often, it's not good for your health. Since you're back in Ozin, we should have a meal at home."

"Alright, honey, you go ahead. I'll try to come back early." Billy said with a smile.

"Okay!" Harleen replied and hung up the phone.

Around 6 o'clock in the evening, Billy returned home.

"Honey, you're back!" As soon as he entered the house, Harleen, wearing an apron, rushed out of the kitchen. Approaching him, she looked at Billy affectionately and said softly, "Have a seat. I'm cooking, and it'll be ready in a moment."

"Are you tired? I'll help you," Billy said with a smile.

"No need, I'm not tired at all!" Harleen replied. "You can watch TV, I just have one more dish to prepare, and it'll be ready in a few minutes."

After saying that, she turned and went back to the kitchen.

Ten minutes later, a table full of delicious dishes was served, looking and smelling fantastic.

"Honey, are you sure this is just for the two of us?" Billy looked at the feast and commented.

"I wasn't sure what dishes you'd like, so I made a few of your favorites. The portions aren't too big, so we should be able to finish them." Harleen replied with a smile.

"Haha, thanks, honey!" Billy raised his wine glass and clinked it with Harleen's. "You've worked hard!"

"I enjoy cooking." Harleen said with a small sip of wine and another smile.

"I heard that THE War Department had a fierce conflict with Nanrania a few days ago, is that true?" After some casual conversation, Harleen asked again.

"Yes," Billy hesitated for a moment. "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"was it because of what happened with Mark Barber?" Harleen asked with a hint of worry. "Did I cause trouble for you? Are you being held responsible by your superiors?" "Um..." Billy's lips twitched. It seemed that Harleen was worried that he would face disciplinary action.

"Are you in trouble?" Seeing Billy's expression, Harleen took a deep breath and continued, "Honey, is it serious?"

"Don't worry!" Billy interrupted her with a smile. "Do I look like someone who's in trouble?"

"Are you lying to me?" Harleen was still a little stunned.

"I promise, I'm really okay!" Billy shook his head and smiled. "Honey, let's not talk about this anymore. Tell me about your day. How's everything at the company? Any troubles?" "Everything's fine, nothing out of the ordinary." Harleen said, seeing that Billy seemed to be fine. She let go of her worries.

"By the way, I've already started preparing for the branch office in the capital!"

"Oh? Are you sure you want to go to the capital with me?" asked Billy.

"Yea." Harleen nodded vigorously. "I don't want to be a burden to you. Since you have better opportunities in the capital, I want to support you."

"Besides, our company's

development in Ozin is almost

saturated The market in the capital

is much larger than Ozin's. If we can establish a foothold in the capital, it will be a great thing for the company. And, going to the capital Will be beneficial for Tasha's future too."

"Thank you, Harleen!" Billy looked at her affectionately.

"Honey, I should be the one thanking you. Everything I have today is because of you. Without you, I..." Harleen put down her wine glass and began to speak.

"Honey, you're saying that again.

We've agreed not to say such things

anymore!" Billy interrupted her again, then smiled and asked, "By the way, honey, have you been practicing lately?"

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention that!" Harleen tapped her forehead

excitedly. "I've got some great

to share with you. I broke through to the next level a couple of days ago!"

"Oh?" Billy raised an eyebrow. "That fast?"

"Yeah!" Harleen nodded enthusiastically. "And it's not just me, Felicia did it too. She also reached the Warlord level!"
