The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 494 Uncle Earl

After Stout's words, Billy's mouth twitched slightly, and he gave him a stern look but didn't say anything.

Zeph Knight, Robert Knight and his daughter were simultaneously choked by their own saliva.

Fletcher and his wife exchanged glances, realizing that Stout was quite fierce, but they didn't expect him to go as far as threatening someone's life right away. Among the family, only Harleen remained the calmest, her face showing no signs of change. Having spent the better part of six months with Billy, she had already been through quite a few big scenes, and these minor incidents no longer stirred any emotions within her.

Maurice Higgins angrily pointed at Stout, "What did you say? Who are you calling trash? Say it again if you dare!"

To him, a small family like the Knight family actually dared to call him trash. It was outrageous!

"Maurice, he's just joking with you. Don't take it to heart." Beatrice said, appearing displeased with Harleen's attitude. "Harleen, Grandpa invited you to dinner. Why did you bring the driver along? Make him apologize to Maurice quickly!"

"Who told you he's just a driver?" Harleen responded calmly. "He's my husband's brother, and we are all one family. Besides, if there's an apology to be made, it should come from your so-called boyfriend. What right does he have to say such things to Tasha?"

"You..." Beatrice was infuriated.

"Beatrice!" Zeph Knight intervened. Then he turned to Maurice Higgins and said, "Mr Higgins, I apologize on behalf of him."

"Is this how people from the Knight family behave?" Thalia scowled. "Using foul language and having no manners at all. If they don't apologize right now, we won't continue with this meal."

"You and your son are exactly a picture-perfect family, always criticizing others for their lack of manners. Do you not realize that the most uncivilized people here are your family?" Sharon stood up and addressed Thalia with a cold tone. "Do you think you're all that just because you're from the capital? I really can't fathom where your sense of superiority comes from! If the capital is full of people with low standards like you, then it's truly disappointing!"

"Who... who are you calling low-standard?" Thalia was flushed with anger.

"Who am I calling low-standard? Can't you figure it out? Do you have no self-awareness at all?" Sharon interrupted her once again.

"Aunt Sharon, please refrain from speaking too much..." Beatrice's complexion was not looking good.

Her dreams of entering the elite circles were already hanging by a thread, and if things continued like this, they might shatter completely. "Why should I refrain from speaking? It's not their fault to begin with. Why don't you ask them to hold their tongues?" Sharon retorted coldly.

"Damn it!" Kennard Higgins finally spoke up, turning to Zeph with a cold tone.

"Mr Knight, are these people from your family? Let them apologize to us right now, or this won't be over today."

"Mr Higgins, please calm down." Zeph took a deep breath before speaking.

He was inwardly regretting his decision. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have invited Fletcher and his family to dinner. He had initially wanted Billy to come and help manage the situation, but now it seemed that things had gone completely south.

"Are you all from the Higgins family in the capital?" Billy finally spoke, looking at Kennard Higgins and calmly asking, "Do you want a chance to apologize?"

"What a joke!" Kennard scoffed. "You, a young soldier, dare to speak so arrogantly. I can't believe..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Stout raised his hand and delivered a resounding slap. The sound of the slap echoed in the room, leaving a palm print on Kennard's face.

The room fell silent immediately, and the expressions on Zeph and his group's faces were quite colorful, as they stood frozen in place.

"How dare you hit me?" Kennard Higgins finally shouted after a moment.

"Damn it, you deserve to die!" Maurice also yelled. Then he turned to the black-clad men behind him and said, "What are you standing around for? He's the one who hit my father. Disable him!" "Yes, sir!" The five black-clad men quickly reacted and charged at Stout.

But halfway through, they were all sent flying and landed on the ground, groaning in pain.

"Hmm?" Kennard and his family were stunned. They had not expected Stout to have such skills. Meanwhile, Zeph's family wore expressions of despair. At this point, they had no hope of making amends with the Higgins family.

The head of the Higgins family had been publicly humiliated, and there was no way to resolve this deadlock.

"How about it? Feeling scared now?" Stout asked the other party coldly.

"You think you can do whatever you want just because you have a bit of martial arts skill?" Kennard angrily retorted. "I promise you, if I don't disable you today, my name is not Kennard Higgins!"

After saying that, he turned to his son and said loudly, "Maurice, call your Uncle Earl. He should be back in Ozin. Tell him to send someone here immediately and inform him that our family has been attacked." "Alright!" Maurice nodded and took out his phone to dial a number.

"Oh, it looks like you know some important people in Ozin!" Stout smirked, glancing at Maurice.

"My boss's full name is Billy Gardner. Make sure to tell them that, or they won't know who to seek revenge against."

"Stout, enough playing around. Send a message to Night Orchid and let her handle this." Billy said, his eyes revealing a hint of concern.

"Understood!" Stout replied and then turned to Kennard Higgins, saying, "You had the chance to apologize, but you didn't take it. Now it's too late. Good luck!"

Afterwards, he took out his phone and sent a message to Night Orchid.

"You're all so ignorant. You'll soon realize how little you know!" Thalia responded angrily.

"Tasha, let Mama hold you. Dad has some business to take care of." Billy said to his daughter. "Harleen, keep an eye on Tasha and don't let her wander."

"Darling, what's going on? Is something wrong?" Harleen noticed the unusual look on Billy's face.

"It's nothing major, don't worry." Billy smiled reassuringly.

"Maurice, how did it go with Earl?" Kennard asked loudly after seeing his son hang up the phone. "Dad, Uncle Earl said..." Maurice struggled to speak, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. "What did he say?" Kennard furrowed his brow.

"Uncle Earl... he told us to apologize to them immediately..." Maurice pointed at Billy.

Although the person he had called wasn't directly affiliated with the power in Ozin, he held significant influence. But when he heard the name "Billy Gardner", he nearly dropped his phone and then warned them, trembling, that if they didn't apologize, not even the heavens could save them.

"What?!" Kennard and his wife shouted simultaneously.
