The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 4 Endless grievances

"Anything works?" Tony smirked.

"Y-yes." Harleen responded with a trembling voice.

"I fucking asked you nicely, what a cheap woman!" Tony sneered and then his tone turned serious. “I can help you find that little bastard, but two conditions! First, come, sit by me, make me happy. Second, you must unconditionally accompany me for a month and be at my beck and call after I help you find that little bastard!"

“I-I promise you." Harleen gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Come sit over here quickly!" Tony patted the empty seat next to him. "Give me a massage first!" "Make me comfortable, I will call someone to help you find that little bastard.”

“I hope you keep your promises when you speak..." Harleen took a deep breath and stood up, then sat down next to Tony.

"Come here, bitch!" Before Harleen could even sit down completely, Tony immediately pulled her into his arms.

Boom!

Just then, the door exploded open like it was made of paper, and wood chips flew everywhere. Sool after, Billy's figure appeared at the door, with cold eyes and raging anger. He stared silently at the two people on the sofa.

Harleen, who had just realized what was happening, screamed and struggled out of Tony's arms. “Damn, who dares to ruin my good time? Do you have a death wish?" Tony shouted angrily. Meanwhile, Harleen trembled all over when she recognized Billy. Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. Her eyes flashed with a complex mix of shock, resentment, grievance, and even a hint of anticipation.

Why him?

How could the man who ruined her life suddenly appear before her?

Five years ago on that day, she had saved his life out of kindness but he took away the most precious thing from her in return. As Ozin's top beauty and also the daughter of the Knight family, she had a bright future ahead of her. But everything came to an abrupt end since that day. When she found out about her pregnancy three or four months later, she couldn't bear to deprive the littl: life inside her so she gave birth despite all pressure against it. In these five years since then, except for herself and younger sister, everyone ridiculed and ostracized them. Even their parents couldn't understand them anymore.

And as for their grandfather who originally wanted to use Harleen's marriage as an opportunity to climb up Ozin's four big families’ ladder by marrying into one, he kicked them out along with their entire family from the Knight Family when he heard about it. Harleen and father both worked at Knight Group before this happened. But now they were both unemployed because of what happened back then. Actually with Harleen's own abilities plus those of her father's combined together they could easily find decent jobs elsewhere to support themselves, but the heir of the Malcom Family made it clear that if anyone dared hire them it would be considered going against Malcom Family, which led Harleen and her father struggling in finding work everywhere they went. Under helplessness, her father had to beg the old man of the Knight family multiple times. It was estimated that the old man was annoyed and reluctantly allowed them to work as ordinary employees in the Cloud City subsidiary of Knight Group, barely surviving on meager wages. It was also because of this reason that their family of four moved from Ozin to Cloud City.

As time went by, she gradually got used to this kind of life and had no other demands as long as her daughter could grow up healthy. But then, fate played a cruel joke on her again-her daughter went missing. To her, it was like a bolt from the blue and she felt like everything around her collapsed.

"Tasha is in trouble, don't you know?" Billy took a deep breath and looked at Harleen with cold eyes When he walked into the room and saw them hugging on the sofa, his anger almost burned all his internal organs. The guilt he felt towards Harleen vanished at this moment!

Her daughter was kidnapped and might be dead or alive but here she was in a hotel room cuddling with another man. He never thought that Harleen would be such a person.

"Damn it! You're that bastard with Harleen? I'm talking to you but can't you hear me? Are you impatient with your life?” The young master of the Pena family couldn't stand being ignored by Billy He couldn't believe that he, who ranked second among all families in Cloud City-the Pena family's young master-would be blatantly disregarded by someone else.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept past and he was sent flying like a ball.

Tony collided with the wall behind him and then fell heavily to the ground, spewing out blood with his mouth open. He shouted out in pain, "Fuck! I swear, if I don't skin you, I..."

"Get him outta here!" Billy still didn't look at him, his eyes fixed tightly on Harleen.

"Yes!" Casey entered the room.

"What do you want? If you dare to touch me, I will definitely kill you!" Tony roared again as he looked at Casey walking towards him.

Casey raised his hand and delivered two slaps. Then he said, "If you don't want to die, shut up right now!"

After speaking, he picked up Tony and walked towards the door. Passing by Billy and Harleen, he said with a hesitant tone, "Commander, saving Tasha is urgent, we can discuss other matters later!" With that said, Casey had already been outside the door.

Billy took a deep breath and looked at Harleen with a cold tone, "I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me? You don't take care of your daughter, I don't blame you. Tell me who caught Tasha, I'l go save..."

Before he finished his words, Harleen walked up to him with a cold gaze and slapped him across the face. Billy could dodge, but he stood still and stared at Harleen coldly without moving a muscle. "What are you to speak to me like this?" Harleen cried out loudly and her tears fell like raindrops. "It's been five years, do you know what kind of days I've been living?"

"Do you think I came to see Tony today for a secret rendezvous? In your eyes, I, Harleen, am just a woman who can be taken advantage of? Not only are you insulting me, but you are also insulting yourself! I regret to meddle and save you five years ago. If it weren't for that incident, I wouldn't have fallen into such a situation today! You've come back now and without any reason, you're questioning me in that tone. What gives you the right? Tasha is my daughter, you have nothing to do with her, her affairs are none of your concern! From now on, don't let me see you again!"

Her voice had got hoarse in the end. Her clothes before her chest had been drenched by her tears. As soon as she finished her words, she pushed Billy away and ran to the door with trembling hands covering her face.

"Harleen!" Billy quickly reached out to grab her arm

"Don't touch me, get off me!" Harleen forcefully swung her arm and rushed out.
