The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 25 A Phone Call from the Capital City

A few minutes later, the Land Rover led the way with a box truck following closely behind as they slowly made their way towards the Knight family's neighborhood.

"Commander..." Casey hesitated to speak up after they had driven for a bit.

“I'm not in active duty anymore, don't call me Commander. Just call me Mr Gardner or Billy like Derek does." Billy replied.

"In that case, can I still call you brother? It feels more personal.” Casey smiled.

“Sure thing," Billy nodded before asking, "What did you want to say earlier?”

"I got a call from the capital this morning.” Casey's tone was heavy.

"As expected,” Billy responded nonchalantly. "What did they say?"

"They're not happy about you going off on your own and are giving you three days to return to the western region or else they'll revoke your title as King of the West." Casey took a deep breath before continuing. "I think it's time for us to part ways.”

"That works out perfectly.” Billy had an indifferent expression on his face.

"Write up my resignation letter and send it over saying that I'm leaving due to personal reasons anc resigning from all positions in Army of Bloodshadow."

Casey slammed on the brakes suddenly causing them both to jolt forward in their seats.

"You're joking, right?" he asked incredulously.

"If Azure Dragon and his crew found out you resigned, they'd be here in no time flat ready to follow you wherever you go."

In fact, everyone in Army of Bloodshadow might just quit too."
