The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 326 Baiting

Billy agreed to take the formula not for any other reason but to ensure that the Lawson family would be spared further disasters. This formula was not only attractive to Ink Pavilion but also held significant temptation for some hidden noble clans and martial sects. Now that the news had spread, considering the current strength of the Lawson family, it was indeed challenging to safeguard this formula for them. Keeping it within the Lawson family would only bring them immense trouble.

The formula had no value to Billy personally. Similar formulas could be obtained from Secret Essences if he desired them. However, he wasn't particularly interested in using elixirs to enhance his cultivation; he preferred the path of martial combat.

He firmly believed that true power came from battles that pushed one's limits, not from relying on external elixirs. In his view, elixirs were merely supplements, not a shortcut to strength. Furthermore, he suspected that the formula was incomplete, a detail the Dittman clan's head might not even be aware of.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr Gardner." Herman Lawson said with relief.

"You're welcome," Billy replied, handing the formula to Frostblade. "Keep it in SHADOW's archives, marked as S-class."

"Yes," Frostblade acknowledged, taking the formula.

Billy and his SHADOW team then left the scene.

"Hmm?" The Second Elder was momentarily puzzled. "What do you mean, sir?"
