The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 234 The Culprit

"Rose!" Upon seeing the woman, Black Panther and his companions all bowed respectfully, showing an unusually deferential attitude.

"I apologize for the behavior of my subordinates, sirs. Please forgive us,” Rose's gaze lingered on Billy for a moment before she smiled gracefully. At the same time, she was slightly surprised. She couldn't sense any martial aura from any of the three individuals, wondering whether all of the three were above her in strength. Moreover, she felt an unprecedented aura of power from Billy. It was stronger than any dignitary she had encountered before.

"Are you Rose?" Billy spoke casually.

“I am indeed," Rose smiled again. "If the three of you don't mind, would you like to sit upstairs?”

"Sure." Billy nodded. The lobby had already gathered quite a crowd, and he didn't want to discuss matters here.

A few minutes later, they arrived at a banquet hall on the sixth floor. Billy took a seat, while Judge and Stout stood on his left and right respectively. This was a matter of courtesy, but also a precaution in case of any unexpected events, allowing them to shield Billy immediately.

On the other side, Rose sat on a sofa opposite Billy, with Black Panther and the old man standing behind her.

"What should I call you, sir?" After a waiter poured tea for the two parties, Rose began the conversation.

"My surname is Gardner." Billy spoke calmly.

"So, you're Mr Gardner,” Rose sipped her tea. "May I know what brings you to me?"

"You should be able to tell me where Derek Hines is." Billy said. "Hmm?" Hearing this, the pupils of Rose, Black Panther, and the old man all slightly contracted.
