The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489 New Details Emerging

"I-I'm Tamara Richardson, a member of Special Patrol Squadron's 'SSS Special Operations Team' and also a subordinate of Mr Cooper." The woman replied as she stood up.

"Oh?" Billy raised an eyebrow. "So, you sent that text message to Brigham Bush earlier?"

"Yes," Tamara nodded.

"Tell me everything you know, and I'll ensure your safety." Billy spoke again.

"Commander Gardner, what about them?" Tamara glanced at Night Orchid and the others, sounding hesitant.

"Don't worry, they are people I trust." Billy replied.

"First, tell me what kind of organization the 'SSS Special Operations Team' is and what its purpose is."

"The 'SSS Special Operations Team' was formed with a single purpose, to find the whereabouts of five identical dragon-shaped jade pendants." Tamara answered.

"Hmm?" Billy's pupils slightly contracted upon hearing this.

Night Orchid also displayed a look of surprise on her face. She immediately thought of the three dragon-shaped jade pendants Billy possessed.

"Could they be related to those jade pendants?" she thought.

"What kind of jade pendants are these?" Billy continued to inquire.

"They are five identical dragon-shaped jade pendants." Tamara replied again.

Billy and Night Orchid exchanged a glance. Billy now knew that there were a total of five of those jade pendants.

"What are these jade pendants for? Is it worth establishing a whole department within Special Patrol Squadron to pursue them?" Bob asked. He and Ian were not yet aware of the jade pendants Billy possessed.

"I don't know the specifics of their purpose," Tamara shook her head. "I've only been with the 'SSS Special Operations Team' for less than a month, so I'm not privy to many details. However, I can sense that these five jade pendants are definitely related to something significant."

"Was Mr Mitchell killed because of this?" Night Orchid asked.

The fact that the jade pendants were connected to something significant was beyond doubt, as even a War God Emperor had perished because of them.

"Yes," Tamara nodded and continued, "Three days ago, Mr Mitchell summoned members of our 'SSS Special Operations Team' for a meeting. During the meeting, a colleague inadvertently mentioned the jade pendants, and Mr Mitchell inquired about them. However, Mr Badman intervened and deflected the question."

"His idea was that since the confirmation of the information wasn't finalized yet, there was no rush to report it. He wanted to wait until his people confirmed it. While folks in our department were a bit puzzled, nobody dared to question Mr Badman."

"Who is Mr Badman?" Ian asked, "Is he Garfield Badman?"

"Garfield Badman?" Tamara frowned slightly and shook her head. "It shouldn't be him. Mr Badman's full name is Vere Badman, and he's the head of the 'SSS Special Operations Team.'"

"You go on," Billy nodded slightly.

"Three days ago, Mr Mitchell summoned us, the members of the 'SSS Special Operations Team,' for a meeting. During the meeting, a colleague unintentionally let slip about the jade pendant," Tamara continued.

"Mr Mitchell had never heard of the jade pendant before and immediately asked a few questions, but Mr Badman stepped in and deflected the matter."

"However, Mr Mitchell didn't give up on it. After the meeting, he privately arranged to meet with Hadwin Hutchinson, who is in charge of the 'SSS Special Operations Team' case files, but before they could meet, both of them encountered accidents."

"Most likely, it was orchestrated by Vere Badman."

"Why did you send that message to Brigham Bush? Weren't you worried about getting involved?" Bob asked after a brief pause, his expression thoughtful.

"Alright!" Bob and Stout followed closely behind.

Two minutes later, a Range Rover sped out of the compound.

Forty minutes later, on a highway in the southern suburbs of the city, a Maybach was speeding along with three men inside.

"Mr Badman, do you think the people from the Heavenly Dragon Sect will expose you?" one of the men in the front passenger seat turned to look at the middle-aged man sitting in the rear.

"There's nothing to worry about," the middle-aged man replied calmly. "They don't even know who I am. What can they expose?"

"Mr Badman, should we be concerned about Tamara Richardson?" the driver turned his head and asked.

"Be careful!" Just then, the man in the front passenger seat shouted.

A heavy-duty cargo truck had suddenly emerged from a side road not far ahead and blocked the road, positioning itself right in the middle. The driver instinctively slammed on the brakes, leaving two dark skid marks on the road as the Maybach came to a halt, with less than a meter between it and the cargo truck.

"What the hell!" the man in the front passenger seat pushed open the door and stepped out.

Then he raised his hand and pointed angrily at the cargo truck driver, shouting, "Are you looking for death? Move your damn truck right now!"

The Maybach's driver also got out of the car and yelled at the cargo truck driver, "If you don't move the truck, I'll make sure you regret it!"

At that moment, the cargo truck's container door swung open. Then, dozens of SHADOW members jumped out of the truck, each of them holding a Cold Moon Saber, their eyes coldly fixed on the men.

"Hmm?" The man's pupils slightly contracted. "You guys are from SHADOW?"
