The next morning, Billy and the gang were chatting in the front yard when James Reynolds walked in with a group of people. Billy nced over and saw James Reynolds, Ernest Shepherd, Otis Hum, and a familiar face, Alice Scott, the youngdy from the Cold family. Alice Scott followed behind a spirited old man with white hair and a middle-aged man with a square face.
“Lord Dragon, let me introduce you!” James Reynolds approached Billy and pointed to the old man and the middle-aged man. “These two are the leader of the Scott family, Mr Joseph Scott and Mr rence Scott!”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Lord Dragon! I’, Joseph Scott.” The old man with white hair bowed to Billy.
“It’s an honor to meet you, Lord Dragon! I’m rence Scott.” The middle-aged man bowed as well.
“No need for formalities, Mr Joseph Scott and Mr rence Scott!” Billy stood up and waved his hand at the two.
“Thank you, Lord Dragon, for saving Alice’s lifest time!” rence Scott spoke again.
“It was just a small favor, no need to be polite!” Billy smiled faintly and then looked at Alice Scott. “How are things going?” asked he.
He didn’t apany his mother to the Central Part the day before yesterday, partly because he wanted to explore the Spirit Spring, and partly because of Alice Scott’s matter. The task he had entrusted to Alice was to quickly dismantle all the non-governmental organizations in the four regions. From now on, there could only be one non-governmental organization in the four regions of the Pr Domain apart from the Central Part, and that would be Snowkes Sect. So before going to the Central Part, Billy needed to make sure this matter was resolved.
“Reporting to Lord Dragon, apart from the Central Pr Domain, the non-governmental organizations in the other four regions have been basically dissolved!” Alice took a few steps forward and continued. “Most of the people in those organizations have been eliminated, and the remaining few have been stripped of their cultivation and expelled from the Pr Domain!”
“Well done!” Billy smiled again and nodded. “You’ve worked hard!”
“It’s nothing!” Alice Scott paused and added, “However, there is something I need to report to Lord Dragon.”All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
“What is it?” Billy asked.
“With all themotion we caused in the four regions recently, Frigid Fortress has taken notice.” Alice responded. “A few days ago, they sent someone specifically from the Central Part to the headquarters of Snowkes Sect and gave me two choices. First, they want Snowkes Sect to submit to them and be their branch. Second, if we refuse to submit, they might soon take action and wipe us out, then support another organization.”
“Is that so?” Billy narrowed his eyes.
“Lord Dragon, Frigid Fortress is the most powerful organization in the Pr Domain, and their strength should not be underestimated.” rence Scott chimed in.
“Hmm!” Billy nodded and looked at James Reynolds.
“Mr Reynolds, have Elder Garraway and a few others go to Snowkes Sect as guests for a while, about a month should be enough!”
The person Billy referred to as Elder Garraway was one of the elders in the city of vale, possessing the cultivation of a Fifth-rank Saint.
“Understood!” James Reynolds nodded vigorously. He understood what Billy meant by “about a month”. Most likely, Frigid Fortress would not survive for more than a month.
“Thank you, Lord Dragon!” rence and Alice both bowed. They knew the strength of Elder Garraway. With him guarding Snowkes Sect, they would be safe for the time being. Although Frigid Fortress was strong, there were unlikely to be any strong experts in the organization who would specifically make a trip from the Central Part for the sake of Snowkes Sect.
“That’s what I should do!” Billy smiled faintly and waved his hand.
“Lord Dragon, are you ready to go to the Central Part?” At this moment, Otis Hum looked at Billy and spoke.
“Exactly!” Billy nodded in response. “We n to leave tomorrow!”
“I see.” Otis Hum nodded at the same time. “Then I’ll say goodbye to you today. I have to go back to vale in three days!”
“Go back to vale?” Billy was taken aback. “Is there something happening in the homnd?”
“Lord Dragon, no need to worry, nothing major is happening,” Otis Hum shook his head and said. “Just heard that the hidden families and forces in the country have been getting restlesstely, and their negotiating stance with the capital has be stronger than before. Since Mr Scott is back in the city, I can hand over the work I have at hand to him, so I n to go back and take a look.”
“Also, both Bob and I have been out for so long, there are also many things waiting for me to handle at the Central Sky Office.”
“Damn! Do those hidden families want to die?” After hearing Otis Hum’s words, Bob shouted.
“Hmm?” Billy frowned slightly, “Do you know which force is provoking?”
“As far as I know, it should be the Long family causing trouble behind the scenes!” Otis Hum responded.
“The Long family?” Casey also frowned, “The family behind Genesis Sect?”
“Yes!” Otis Hum nodded, “Besides the Long family, it seems that the Vaughan n is also causing a lot of trouble!”
“The Vaughan n? Who are they?” Judge was slightly stunned.
“One of the four major families in the Hidden Cultivation Realm, and also one of the oldest families in vale!” Ivy exined from the side.
“Damn, what do these families want? Are they nning a rebellion?” Soul Chaser shouted.
“Mr Hum, I’ll go back with you!” Billy said after a moment of thought. He was well aware of the power of those hidden families in vale, far beyond the so-called super sects of the past. This could be seen from the Ravenwood family, where there are dozens of Saint-realm powerhouses in the entire family. And that didn’t include some ancients that hadn’t appeared in centuries. Among those ancients, there were even powerhouses surpassing the Saint realm, which was not surprising at all. That was the foundation of vale, a lineage that had been passed down for thousands of years, far beyond the reach of a country like Northfortia with only a few hundred years of history.
“Lord Dragon, no need to worry too much!” Otis Hum paused and continued. “ording to the Minister Woolery’s meaning, they are just making empty threats for now, without any actual actions. I’ll go back and have a look first. If we need Lord Dragon toe back, I’ll give you a call.”
“Alright!” Billy nodded and continued, “Mr Hum, after you go back, discuss with Emperor Greenleaf and Minister Woolery. If possible, bring in some people from the country!”
Apart from the Central Part, vale and Aqundia had basically taken control of the other four regions in the Pr Domain. After finally capturing these territories, they had to hold onto them tightly. Currently, the number of people deployed by vale in the Pr Domain was a bitcking. To defend such arge area, manpower was obviously insufficient.
“Alright!” Otis Hum nodded vigorously.
“You will be busy for these two months, Mr Hum!” James Reynolds spoke up.
“Mr Reynolds, no need to be so polite, it’s all part of my duty!” Otis Hum smiled and responded.
After chatting for a while, James Reynolds led the group away.
At eleven o’clock that night, Billy and Harleen finished washing up and went to bed.
“Dear, are we going to the Central Part tomorrow?” Harleen asked, resting her head on Billy’s arm.
“Yes!” Billy nodded, “Things in the city are almost taken care of, it’s time to go there.” After saying that, he turned to look at Harleen, “Darling, do you miss Tasha? How about we go back to vale first?”
“No!” Harleen shook her head, “You’ve just reunited with your mother, she definitely wants you to go to the Central Part as soon as possible to spend time with her. Let’s go to visit your mom first, and after things settle down, we can go back to see Tasha.”
“Thank you, darling!” Billy kissed her forehead.
“There’s no need to thank me!” Harleen leaned her head against Billy’s chest.
“Without my father by her side, my Mom must feel lonely. I also want to spend more time talking to her. And, in these past years, we haven’t fulfilled our duties as her son. Now that we’ve recognized each other, we need to make up for the lost time. Harleen, Mom is right. Being able to marry you in this lifetime is the fortune I earned in my past life!” Billy gently stroked Harleen’s hair and spoke softly.
“You’re ttering me again!” Harleen looked up at Billy.
“I’m serious!” Billy continued softly.
Harleen chuckled as she said, “Liar, I don’t believe you! You…”
Before she finished her words, her little mouth was sealed by Billy’s lips.
…
The next afternoon, Billy and his group bid farewell to James Reynolds and got into the car to head towards the Central Pr Domain, with Grand Ravenwood and Elder Wood apaning them on the journey.
