Chapter 309 Six-Month Deadline

"Really?" Billy smiled faintly and rose to greet his guest at the door.

"Haha, King of the West, I hope I'm not intruding." Came the hearty voice of Cole Wilson as he approached briskly.

"General Wilson, your visit is most welcome." Billy replied with a smile. "Please have a seat."

"General Wilson, I'm delighted to see you here." Night Orchid greeted with a bow and a smile.

"Night Orchid, you've done quite well," General Wilson remarked. "In such a short time, you've risen in status."

"Thank you for your praise, General Wilson." Night Orchid replied with another smile.

"Good job!" Cole Wilson said with a smile as he glanced at Billy. "With this incident, Oriana should behave more cautiously. Even if you hadn't acted, I would have taken care of them."

"Your position is too sensitive for such actions." Billy said with a smile.

As the supreme commander of the Glavale War Department, killing a foreign diplomatic delegation would undoubtedly lead to international repercussions.

"No more talk about this," Cole Wilson waved his hand. "Is everything settled with the Frazier family, or do you need any assistance from me?"

"Thank you for your concern. It's mostly settled."

"That's good," General Wilson nodded. "I came here today with some good news for you."

"I wonder what you're referring to." Billy replied, already having a guess in mind.

"It's almost certain at the higher levels. You'll be taking my position." General Wilson said with a smile. "When can you take up the position? I can't wait to hand over the reins to you."

"Thank you, General Wilson," Billy replied with a smile. "But it might take a bit more time."

"Are you hesitant?" General Wilson asked. "If it's the affairs of the other three regions that concern you, I-"

"You're worrying too much, General Wilson." Billy interrupted. "It's mainly some personal matters that I need to attend to. Please give me another six months or so, and it should be fine."

For Billy, taking up the position of Supreme Commander was a path he had to follow to fulfill that old man's expectations. He wouldn't decline it. However, at the moment, it wasn't the ideal timing. He had other matters to address.

The role of Supreme Commander came with both power and responsibility. Once he assumed that role, there would be a lot more on his plate, and he wouldn't have the same freedom to pursue personal matters.

"Alright," General Wilson agreed. "We'll stick to that. Half a year from now, I'll be waiting for you in the capital."

"Thank you, General Wilson." Billy expressed his gratitude.

"Actually, I should thank you. Thank you for shouldering this heavy burden for me." After a brief pause, General Wilson continued, "By the way, I hope you understand the handling of the Leonard family's matter in the Southern Region. It might not have been entirely fair to you, but..."

"General Wilson, it's not a big deal," Billy interrupted. "It was a minor issue, and I understand the complexities involved. Let's not dwell on it."

Billy knew that there were factions behind the scenes, and even Donald couldn't act recklessly. Resolving the matter fundamentally was the key; otherwise, superficial actions would be pointless. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Thank you for your understanding, Gardner." General Wilson said with a nod.

"No need to mention it." Billy replied with a smile.

After the conversation, General Wilson took his leave.

The next morning, Billy and Night Orchid were discussing matters in the meeting hall when Stout entered.

"You're back so soon?" Billy smiled. "Are Uncle Josh and Violet's injuries all right?"

"Of course! Who do you think I am?" Stout grinned. "They came with me."

As he spoke, footsteps echoed, and then Josh Frazier and his daughter appeared at the door.

Compared to ten days ago, both of them looked completely different. Josh Frazier wore traditional attire, his face glowing with health, and an air of authority surrounded him. Violet Frazier wore a pale green dress with a beige coat. Her long, dark, and beautiful hair flowed over her shoulders. Her skin had regained its smooth and youthful appearance, and her complexion was radiant, reflecting her beauty.

Billy couldn't even recognize them at first.

"Boss, how is it? Not bad, right?" Stout grinned again.

"Good job!" Billy complimented. "Uncle Josh, Violet, please have a seat."

"Thank you for your concern, Young Master." Josh Frazier said respectfully.

"Casper, good morning!" Violet Frazier added with a playful smile.

"You mischievous girl!" Billy playfully flicked her forehead.

"Should I call you Casper or Billy in the future?" asked Violet.

"As you like." With that, Billy led them to the seats.

"Then I'll stick with Billy!" Violet said with a slight tilt of her head.

"Alright!" Billy laughed and turned to Josh.

"How are you, Uncle Josh?" asked he.

"Thank you, Young Master, for your concern. I'm completely fine now." Josh nodded and said, "Stout is truly a genius in Secret Essences. His medical skills are unlike anything I've ever seen."

"Exactly!" Violet Frazier vigorously nodded, "Stout is incredibly talented. With just two doses of his medicine, my skin has returned to its original state, and even better!"

"Haha, he's got only this much talent!" Billy chuckled.

Stout coughed, wearing an injured expression, "Boss, can't you give me a bit more praise?"

"Stout, you should be content. Boss has acknowledged you. Haven't you noticed he has never praised anyone else like this?" Night Orchid teased.

"That's true!" Stout grinned.

"Are you Night Orchid from SHADOW? You're so pretty!" Violet Frazier said respectfully.

"Thank you, Violet, you're the pretty one here!" Night Orchid returned the compliment.

"Violet, do you have a boyfriend? Would you like me to introduce someone to you?"

"Thank you, but, I haven't considered that yet." Violet Frazier replied with a hint of blush on her face.

"There's no need to be shy. I'll bring a few guys for you to choose from." Night Orchid continued.

"No, thanks. I..."

"Orchid, don't tease her," Billy said with a smile. "I think she might already have someone in mind!"

"Is that true?" Night Orchid's eyes brightened. "Who is it that managed to capture the heart of this beautiful lady?"

"Billy, are you teasing me too?" Violet Frazier blushed even more.
