“Today, consider it as interest payment from you all!” Megrez responded. “At the same time, it’s also a warning to you.”


    “My vale is no longer the vale of a hundred years ago. If Xidengia continues to be our enemy, then be prepared for your country’s demise!”


    “Furthermore, within one day, return all the territories you took from vale in the Pr Domain. Otherwise, by this time tomorrow, it will be you lying on the ground! That’s all I have to say. Take care of yourselves!”This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    After finishing his words, Megrez and Fabian turned around without looking back and left. Their purpose foring here had been achieved. Xidengia was still one of the top five countries, and pushing them into a corner would surely cause some trouble, especially in the Pr Domain. Therefore, now that their goal had been aplished, they could leave.


    “Ah–” After the two of them left, Augustus let out a hysterical roar.


    …


    One week passed from their return to vale. Billy didn’t rush Casey and the others back to their positions. Instead, he had everyone stay in the SHADOW base of the capital. For five or six days, they did nothing but stay in their rooms and absorb the rewards they received from thepetition. The effects of the Millennium Spirit Fruit were truly remarkable. In just a few days, with Billy’s help, everyone’s cultivation level had unexpectedly improved by one rank. Billy himself, under the influence of the fruit, had reached the cultivation level of a Sixth-rank Sovereign. To his delight, as his cultivation level increased, his spiritual power also rose to a new height.


    On the day Opal returned from Xidengia, she bid farewell to everyone and returned to Ether Mountain with the other disciples. In addition, Megrez and Fabian Mills also returned to Ether Mountain on the third night. ording to Urban Woolery, Xidengia had returned all the territories they had taken from vale in the Pr Domain over the past two years. Moreover, Xidengia had recalled nearly half of their high-end forces stationed in the Pr Domain on the second day, which was a reasonable move–after the events, the defensive forces of the Pce of Xidengia, apart from two old-timers who hadn’t appeared for over a hundred years, had been mostly eliminated. If they didn’t bring back the strong martial artists from the Pr Domain, even a medium-sized country would be able to conquer their capital. For Xidengia, while the territories in the Pr Domain were important, they had to protect their own homnd first.


    One weekter, Casey, Azure Dragon and the other three all took up their new positions. General Wilson officially stepped down and retired to the position of Elder Minister of War, while Casey took charge of the War Department in the capital city.


    It was worth mentioning that Billy made some adjustments to the personnel and structure of SHADOW. Firstly, he stepped down as the master of SHADOW and appointed Azure Fang as his sessor. He also appointed Night Orchid and Frostde as Deputy Sect Masters of SHADOW. Furthermore, SHADOW was divided into eight major regions, with eight Provincial Governors appointed. They were chosen from the existing inspectors, and Night Orchid’s four Deputy Sect Masters each managed two regions.


    The purpose of these adjustments was twofold. On one hand, it provided room for growth for the lower-ranking members. Otherwise, with Night Orchid and the others in the Provincial Governor positions, the subordinates would never have a chance.


    On the other hand, Azure Fang and Night Orchid would have less time to handle SHADOW affairs in the future, so they needed the lower-ranking members to be capable of taking charge independently as soon as possible.


    “Dad, Dad…”


    It was noon when Billy and Night Orchid were discussing matters in the capital city of SHADOW, and Tasha’s voice could be heard outside the office.


    Two days ago, Stout apanied Harleen and her sister back to Ozin. Since Tasha was on summer vacation, Harleen and Billy had discussed it and decided to bring their parents and daughter to the capital city for some time.


    “Dad, Mom!” Upon hearing Tasha’s voice, Billy walked out of the office and first greeted Fletcher and Sharon. Then, he looked at Tasha and opened his arms, shouting loudly, “Tasha,e here and let me hug you!”


    “Daddy…” After jumping down from Stout’s embrace, Tasha hurriedly ran towards Billy.


    “Little one, have you gained weight?” Billy picked up Tasha and spun her around in the air.


    “How did you know, Daddy?” Tasha had a somewhat embarrassed expression. “Grandma cooked a lot of delicious food, and I’ve been eating at home every day, I didn’t go to exercise, so I gained weight…”


    “Hahaha…” Everyone burst intoughter.


    “Mom, Dad, thank you for your hard work!” After everyone entered the office, and Night Orchid poured tea for everyone, Billy turned to Fletcher and his wife.


    “It’s not hard at all. Fletcher and I haven’t been to the capital city for years, this time we’re just taking the opportunity to visit.” Sharon responded with a smile.


    “Mr and Mrs Knight, I’ve arranged several colleagues to apany you to various scenic spots in the capital city over the next few days.” Night Orchid smiled and said.


    “Thank you, Orchid!” said Harleen.


    “Orchid, you don’t need to bother with us. We can just wander around on our own without troubling your colleagues.” Sharon replied.


    “They are all very familiar with the capital city and can serve as your tour guides.” Night Orchid persuaded.


    “Well then, thank you!” Sharon responded.


    “Our pleasure!” Night Orchid smiled again.


    “Billy, Harleen!”


    Later, Ivy walked in. Seeing so many people in the office, she was slightly taken aback but quickly greeted Billy and Harleen first.


    “Ivy!” Harleen hurriedly went up to her. Aftering forward, she pointed to her parents with a smile and said, “Ivy, let me introduce you. These are my parents, Fletcher and Sharon.”


    “Dad, Mom, this is Stout’s sister. She holds the position of Deputy Minister in the Cab.”


    “Mr and Mrs Knight, nice to meet you!”


    Surprised, Ivy bowed and showed respect.


    “Nice to meet you, Ivy. Stout has been telling us about his beautiful sister, and now that we’ve met, it’s true!” Sharon couldn’t help but exim.


    “Thank you for the kind words!” Ivy responded with a smile.


    “Auntie Ivy, are you really Stout’s sister?” Tasha ran over and asked.


    “Yes!” Ivy smiled and then bent down to pick up Tasha. “You must be Tasha, right? You’re such a pretty girl!”


    “Auntie Ivy is beautiful too! You’re as beautiful as my mom!” Tasha spoke like a little adult.


    “Haha, thank you for thepliment, Tasha!” Ivy ruffled Tasha’s hair.


    “Why are you so beautiful, but Stout is so fat?” Tasha asked again.


    Stout coughed.


    “Hahaha…” Everyone burst intoughter again.


    “Ivy, why did youe today? Do you have something to discuss with Billy?” asked Harleen.


    “I did have something to discuss with Billy, but since you’re all here, that’s even better!” Ivy smiled in response. Then, she turned to Billy. “Billy, the house that Minister Woolery mentioned to youst time is ready. Shall I take you to see it?”
