“I’m Night Orchid from SHADOW, nice to meet you, Uncle Dawn!” Night Orchid greeted Dawn Balde with a graceful bow.


    On their way back to Ozin, Billy had already given a brief introduction about the situation here to Bob Stokes and the others, so she knew that Dawn de and Ian de came from de Sect.


    SHADOW wielded “five sharp des”, and although only Judge had met people from de Sect, Night Orchid and Azure Fang had long heard about this sect.


    “Oh? Night Orchid?” Dawn de slightly paused and said. “I’ve heard your name many times, and today, I finally have the pleasure of meeting you in person. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”


    “Uncle Dawn, you’re too kind!” Night Orchid replied with a smile.


    “Night Orchid, let me introduce you,” at this moment, Billy pointed to Ian de and turned to Night Orchid.


    “This is the young master of de Sect, Ian de, who is half a year older than you. He’s a rare genius in de Sect for the past thousand years! At such a young age, he has already reached the peak of the War Emperor realm. Not only has he mastered de Sect’s sword techniques, but he’s also mastered about sixty to seventy percent of de Lord’s forging techniques. With time, he might even surpass de Lord! Young and promising, wealthy at a young age, with limitless potential…”


    Before he could finish his words, coughing echoed around them. Casey and Judge exchanged nces, their lips twitching simultaneously. Just an hour ago, they were discussing finding a suitable match for Ian, but little did they know that Billy already had someone in mind.


    Objectively speaking, Billy was quite the professional matchmaker since Ian de and Night Orchid did seem toplement each other, one cold and one hot.


    Hearing this, Night Orchid couldn’t help but chuckle. She understood Billy’s intentions and couldn’t resist stealing a few more nces at Ian de, who had sharp features, a tall figure, a determined gaze, and a solid physique – he met most girls’ criteria for an ideal partner.


    “Boss, I don’t think I’m as outstanding as you say,” Ian de scratched his head, seemingly still processing everything.


    On the other hand, Dawn de seemed to catch Billy’s implication and shed a knowing smile. He was obviously quite satisfied with Night Orchid’s appearance as well.


    “Ian, do you think Night Orchid is beautiful?” Stout interjected.


    “Of course! Why do you ask?” Ian de replied with a serious expression.


    “Good, that settles it! You two should get married soon! Consider this a military order, anyone who disobeys will face military punishment!” Stout said with amanding tone.


    Ian and Night Orchid both coughed simultaneously


    “Casey, keep him away a bit!” Billy said with a hint of annoyance.


    An elegant matter like this had been dragged down several notches by Stout’s words and had even killed the mood.


    “Haha…” everyone burst intoughter.


    Shortly after, the group entered a house and took their seats.


    “Commander Gardner, these are two swords that de Lord specifically asked me to bring to you. Have a look.” Dawn de handed one of the swords to Billy.


    “Oh?” Billy raised an eyebrow. “de Lord is quite thoughtful!”


    After taking the sword, he unsheathed it with a flick of his wrist.


    Made of mysterious iron, the sword was three feet long with abstract patterns etched on the de, exuding an ancient aura. Without using any internal energy, Billy casually swung the sword at a nearby steel-framed cab. The two-inch-thick steel te was cut cleanly in half, the cut edge as smooth as a mirror. It was easy for it to cut hair and slice iron; they were indeed extraordinary weapons.


    “Excellent swords!” everyone eximed simultaneously.


    “Uncle Dawn, please convey my thanks to de Lord!” After sheathed the sword, Billy looked at Dawn and said.


    “Commander Gardner, you’re too polite!” Dawn responded with a smile.


    “Uncle Dawn, are you and Ian here in Ozin on a special mission?” Judge asked.


    “We’re just passing through,” Dawn de smiled again. “I’m escorting Ian to the capital.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    “Why is Ian going to the capital?” Judge continued to inquire.


    “He’s going to serve as Stan Mitchell’s deputy at Special Patrol Squadron.” Billy interjected before Dawn could respond.


    This matter had been discussed with him by that old man some time ago, and Billy understood his intentions well. Like Bob Stokes, Ian de’s cement was clearly paving the way for Billy in the capital. That old man’s expectations for Billy were evidently more than just overseeing the vale War Department. The capital was teeming with government offices, and apart from the War Department and Central Sky Office, most other offices were still under the control of the noble families and ns. Although Imperial Guard Bureau and Special Patrol Squadron had shown signs of breaking free from these influences, they were still rtively weak. Additionally, Stan Mitchell’s personal strength was somewhatcking, making it challenging for him to control Special Patrol Squadron. He needed a capable assistant.


    “Huh?!” The others were all surprised.


    “Ian, you can do it!” Judge eximed. “Your future is boundless!”


    “Haha, he’s truly honored by that old man’s favor.” Dawn replied on Ian’s behalf.


    “Uncle Dawn, do you have to escort Ian to the capital? Do you think he’s a three-year-old who can’t find his way?” Stout always focused on unusual things.


    Upon hearing this, Ian de choked on his saliva and shot Stout a fierce re.


    “Haha, let’s have Ian exin it himself!” Dawnughed heartily.


    “What do you mean?” Bob also became curious. “Ian, are you perhaps directionally challenged? Can’t find your way to the capital?”


    “How is that even possible?” Ian pouted in response.


    “I heard you took nearly a month to return from the western district to de Sect on yourst trip.” Billy added with a smile.


    “Hahaha… Ian, is what boss said true?” Judge and Stout burst intoughter simultaneously.


    “Ian, did you happen to tour most of the country while you were at it?” Casey suppressed a chuckle. “I did arrange for someone to pick you up when you got off the ne, didn’t I?”


    “But there was no one to pick me up when I got off the ne!” Ian pouted again. “I got on the wrong bus, and then…”


    Night Orchid couldn’t help butughed. “How did youe back in the end?”


    “I had my second unclee pick me up.” Ian grumbled.


    “Uncle Dawn, where did you finally pick him up?” Bob asked.


    “He was lured by a dubious sect in the southern district and became their disciple. In the end, he wiped out the entire sect in a fit of rage.” Dawn replied with a smile.


    Everyone burst intoughter.


    At noon, the group had lunch in the SHADOW cafeteria. After lunch, Ian followed Bob and Night Orchid to the capital. With them as guides, there was no need to worry about Ian getting lost.


    After bidding farewell to Billy, Dawn de returned to de Sect. Before parting, he asked Billy to visit de Sect when he had the time, mentioning that de Lord had been thinking of him. Billy readily agreed; he had been wanting to visit de Sect as well.


    “Boss, how should we handle that woman from Nanrania?” After seeing off two groups of people, Judge asked Billy.
