The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 32 Battle General

“I've learned the situation between you and Egbert, and I have a suggestion. I propose that Egbert give you both five million to settle this matter over tea. What do you think, my brothers?"

"If my calculations are correct, he's already swallowed over ten billion just from that one neighborhood alone. And now you want him to pay five million to make it go away? Do you think I'll agree to that?"

Damon's face began to show signs of frustration as he replied, "Brothers, when we're away from home, harmony is the most important thing.”

But Billy wasn't buying it. He had been in power for too long to be swayed by such words.

“I don't have time for this nonsense. No matter who speaks on his behalf, if we don't see you repay the money owed at the neighborhood tomorrow, you company will be shut down! Go ahead if you want, get your people done with their job, I need time for myself before accompanying my daughter tomorrow morning.” Said Billy.

Damon was annoyed at Billy's words. Though he was slightly intimidated by Billy but he was still the king of Ozin's underground world. How could he allow two unknowns like them act so recklessly? "Well then let me see what tricks you two have up your sleeves!" Damon turned around and addressed an old man behind him saying, "Ezio, please help us out here."

The old man nodded before stepping forward. There was a glint in his eyes as he looked at Billy. “If I'm not mistaken, you two must be martial artists? My name is Ezio Andrews, may I ask for your names?"

"Not bad!" Billy glanced at him and said, "You are barely a Battle General, you can be considered as one of the top figures here in Ozin."

Those who practiced martial arts were not ordinary people. The levels of martial arts ranged from Battle Apprentice to Warrior, then to Battle Master, followed by Battle General (King) and finally to Battle God. There was no limit to martial arts; it only went higher without an ultimate peak. Within each level there were five stages: Novice, Tier-one, Tier-two, Grand Elder and True Master. To ordinary people who knew some kung fu moves could only be considered as a Novice Battle Apprentice. As for common thugs, they couldn't even reach that level.

Billy had just said that the old man was barely a Battle General, which meant he had reached a perfect completion level.

This surprised Billy slightly.

"Hmm?" Ezio Andrews didn't expect Billy to see through his level so easily.

"Although your skill is better than ordinary people, you are still too weak." Billy continued calmly. Hearing this remark from Billy made Damon's group look at him like he was stupid. They all knew how skilled Ezio was-although they wouldn't say he was invincible throughout Ozin's underground world-but he definitely ranked among top three fighters there. None of those so-called gold medal fighters could withstand even one move from him.

And now, a young man under thirty dared to comment like this. What ignorance and fearlessness! "It's rare to meet someone of the same profession. Let's have a friendly competition!" The old man took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes. "Come on."

As soon as he finished speaking, his palms formed into eagle claws and quickly charged towards Billy after leaving several afterimages in the air.

"Can't you have some self-awareness? Why don’t you believe what I said?" Before Billy could react, Casey swept out a burst of energy with one hand. Although it seemed like a casual move, it contained violent energy like a hurricane sweeping towards the old man, causing an ear-piercing sound of breaking wind.

At this moment, Ezio finally realized who he had provoked. It was ironic that he had wanted to compete with them earlier. He wanted to dodge but there was an insurmountable gap in their cultivation levels. Thus, he didn't even have the possibility of dodging.

Bang!

A muffled sound rang out as Ezio flew out like a kite with its string cut before crashing heavily onto the ground more than ten meters away while spitting out blood from his mouth. Casey showed mercy. Otherwise Ezio would be dead by now.

Silence fell over the scene. Even a pin drop could be heard. The number one underground expert in Ozin had been easily defeated by Casey with just one casual strike.

The old man lying on the ground was full of shock and disbelief. He never thought that in his lifetime, he would be able to see a legendary warrior like Casey, who had already reached the level of a Battle General.

"Battle General?" Casey shrugged his shoulders and ignored the old man. As King of the West's right-hand man, if he were only at the level of a Battle General, he would have been laughed at by everyone long ago

"Master Eight, your men don't seem to be up to par. Do you need to call someone else?" Billy looked at Damon with a faint smile.

Damon let out a heavy sigh, feeling embarrassed.

"Dude, fists don't mean everything in Ozin. If you want things to get out of hand here, I'm not as weak as you think I am.”

"Damon, do you have a death wish?" Just then, someone interrupted him. At the same time, the thugs who were originally stand in the doorway "flew" into the hall one by one. They were thrown on the ground and passed out.

Before long, Derek and an elderly man named Donald walked briskly towards them.

"Mr Hines!?" Egbert exclaimed at the sight of Derek. Egbert knew Derek, a towering figure they looked up to.

Particularly Damon, a year ago when Derek first came to Ozin, he had wanted to establish his dominance over him, but ended up having a knife held to his throat by one of Derek's men. If someone hadn't stepped in to plead for Damon, he would have died long ago. Since then, Damon sent people to investigate Derek's background. When he had all the information in his hands, he fel fortunate to still be alive. It was like a stroke of luck. Not to mention within the boundaries of Ozin, even if you looked across the entire territory, Derek's background was famously formidable. With Derek's power, killing Damon would be no different from squashing an insect.

Since then, Damon had completely surrendered to Derek. In the past year, he had reluctantly done few things for Derek and gained his partial approval.

"Mr Hines, do you know them?" Damon hurriedly approached after a quick stride.
