The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 463 Heinous Crimes

"Such audacity! I'll teach you a lesson!" The bald man's face turned ashen with anger at Stout. He was, after all, a vice-general, and he couldn't stand being belittled by a chubby fellow like Stout. After uttering those words, he raised his hand and charged towards Stout.

Just as he was halfway there, Stout raised his hand, sending a powerful gust of wind that threw the man out of the courtyard, and he crashed to the ground. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the man's face turned pale, and a hint of fear crept into his eyes. Although his cultivation wasn't very strong, he possessed the strength of a Half-Step Warlord. Yet, he was treated like a helpless ant in front of Stout. "Hmm?" Andre Catro furrowed his brows as he witnessed the scene. "How dare you harm my fellow war department colleague, you have some nerve!"

After a brief pause, he waved his hand and ordered, "Get him!"

"Understood!" Two to three dozen men rushed out from behind Andre, all of them well-built and emitting a fierce aura.

The strength of this group was not to be underestimated. The strongest among them had the power of a War Grandmaster, while the weakest were at the peak of the Battle God realm. "Young man, lie down!" The leader of the group shouted at Stout and led his men charging towards him.

Whoosh!

Just then, a powerful gust of wind, like a tornado, swept in from behind Stout, creating a piercing howling sound. In the next moment, all two to three dozen men were lifted into the air, soaring in all directions. Witnessing this scene, the group of men all gasped in shock, their faces filled with horror, as they looked towards the tall figure calmly walking from a short distance away.

"Commander Gardner?!" After recognizing Billy, Andre's body trembled, his face filled with disbelief.

Frank Harvey's reaction was even worse than Andre's; he couldn't control the trembling of his body. He never expected Commander Gardner to be in Celestiford. At first, when he heard that his daughter had been captured by SHADOW's people, he didn't take it too seriously. He only sent Declan Harvey and Janice Harvey to negotiate. But not only did they fail to retrieve Sheila Harvey, they also left Declan behind with SHADOW.

Upon hearing the news, a sense of unease began to grow in Frank's heart. So, he had Janice contact Andre Catro. When he entered the SHADOW compound earlier and saw that only Azure Fang and a few members of SHADOW were present, he felt somewhat relieved. But the moment he recognized Billy, all his hopes vanished.

"If I remember correctly, your name is Andre Catro, right?" Billy approached him and spoke calmly. "Are you here to represent the Harvey clan?"

"Commander Gardner, I had no idea you were..." Andre Catro took a deep breath before speaking with a respectful tone. Although their ranks were only one level apart, he knew very well that the gap between them was huge.

"You haven't answered my question yet," Billy interrupted him. "Are you the Harvey clan's backer?"

"Commander Gardner, the Harvey clan has a cooperative relationship with the War Department in the central region. I am acquainted with them." Andre replied nervously.

Billy's question was something he wouldn't dare to answer even if he had ten times the courage. If the charges were confirmed, he wouldn't survive, even with ten lives. While he didn't yet know why the Harvey clan had attracted Commander Gardner's attention, he could tell it was a serious matter. Otherwise, Billy wouldn't personally intervene.

"Commander Gardner, I don't know what offense the Harvey clan has committed. Could you please clarify?" Andre asked cautiously.

"You know them, don't you? Don't you have any information to share?" Billy spoke calmly.

"Mr Harvey, are you keeping something from me?" Andre exhaled heavily and looked at Frank with a stern expression.

"Chief Cato, please calm down. I also don't know what the Harvey clan did to offend Commander Gardner." Frank steadied his emotions slightly before continuing to address Billy. "Commander Gardner, I don't know what transgressions my younger brother and my daughter have committed. I implore you to clarify." Frank added respectfully.

"Azure Fang, since Mr Harvey doesn't know what the Harvey clan has done, tell him." Billy said calmly.

"Understood!" Azure Fang responded loudly.

"Sheila Harvey, the acting president of the Central Plains Business Association, colluded with the South Trade Group of Nanrania to forcibly acquire high-quality enterprises in Glavate through illegal means, causing massive financial losses and casualties to several companies."

"At the end of last month, she ordered her subordinates to kill two of my SHADOW brothers and had someone disguise themselves as SHADOW members to attack and cripple the son of Nanrania's Prime Minister, in an attempt to frame Commander Gardner!" NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"Declan Harvey, during his tenure as the head of the Central Plains Business Association in Nanrania, conspired with members of the royal family in Nanrania, selling intelligence from Glavale and acting as a traitor to the nation."

Hearing this, the four men from the

authority fell to the ground, trembling, and drenched in cold

sweat. While they were aware that the Harvey clan was involved in some illegal activities, they never expected it to be this severe. These were capital offenses. Thinking about how they had previously supported the Harvey clan, each of them regretted their decisions. deeply. They had truly dug their own graves.

"Sir, is Azure Fang's statement accurate?" Andre demanded, his voice filled with anger and a chilling presence.

"Chief Cato, there might be some misunderstandings in this..." Frank took a deep breath and responded with a trembling voice. "Azure Fang, show Chief Cato the evidence!" Billy interrupted their exchange and instructed Azure Fang.

"Very well!" Azure Fang took a stack of photocopies from Michael and handed them to Andre. "Chief Cato, please take a look."

"Frank Harvey, do you have anything else to say?" After briefly scanning the materials, Andre Catro's eyes showed a trace of surprise. He then slammed the documents on Frank with a shout.

Frank picked up a few pages of the documents and glanced at them, but he couldn't hold himself together any longer. He fell to the ground, looking as if he had aged several decades, his face filled with despair.

The Harvey clan was done for this time.

"Azure Fang, according to SHADOW regulations, what is the punishment for Declan Harvey and Sheila Harvey?" Billy calmly inquired.

"They are guilty of heinous crimes and should be executed!" Azure Fang responded loudly.

"Then let them be executed!" Billy waved his hand.

"Understood!" Azure Fang nodded vigorously, drew a curved blade from his waist, and approached the two trembling figures.

"No, please..." Declan and Sheila were pale, unable to scream, their faces filled with endless fear.

"No..." Frank let out a hysterical cry. Before the words could even leave his mouth, two heads soared into the sky, and the two bodies collapsed simultaneously.

"Ah..." Frank cried out again and collapsed to the ground.

"Commander, what about these four?" Michael, holding the curved blade, pointed at the four men from the authority and asked.
