The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 229 The Mastermind

"We've screened Ashton Erickson's call records and identified thirty suspicious numbers." A SHADOW guard reported over the phone.

"We found one out-of-town number's owner to be highly suspicious. Plus, he emits an unusual herbal scent. He's the person we've been looking for!"

"Where is he now?" Judge asked in a deep voice.

"He's just entered a restaurant to have a meal.”

"Send me the address!" Judge said before hanging up the phone immediately.

He then turned to Billy and recounted the situation.

A few minutes later, the three of them were on their way in a car.

In less than half an hour, Stout parked the car outside a restaurant. "Commander, Judge!" As they got out of the car, ten members of SHADOW quickly approached.

“Is he still inside?" Billy inquired.

“Yes, he's sitting by the window in the main hall, dressed in a dark gray Daoist robe."

"You guys stay outside. Don't let anyone in for now." Billy instructed before heading towards the main hall.

The man's voice grew somber, and without a second thought, he darted towards the exit, his speed astonishing. He knew his expertise in poison was mere child's play in the eyes of his pursuer. Remaining was a certain death sentence. However, what chance did a Battle General of his level have against escaping from Billy's grasp?
