After Harleen finished speaking, she walked towards the white-haired old man.
In a short while, two muffled sounds rang out, and the white-haired old man and the other old man were directly turned into a cloud of blood mist.
Watching this scene from a short distance away, Billy’s mouth twitched slightly. It seemed that his wife was becoming more and more powerful, now capable of killing without blinking an eye.
Two minutes later, the husband and wife turned and left.
In the following days, Billy didn’t make any other arrangements and focused on staying at home with Harleen and Tasha. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. There was exactly one month left until the auspicious day for the arrival of the national fortune.
Felicia returned from the Eastern Region to Ozin five days ago. Like Harleen, she now exuded an extraordinary and ethereal aura compared to before. Billy secretly checked her cultivation and found no fluctuations in her aura either. It seemed that this was a special requirement from Ether Mountain. Otherwise, with Felicia’s carefree personality, she wouldn’t intentionally hide her cultivation.
One morning, Adam Greenleaf called, urging the two sisters to return to Ether Mountain. At 9 a. m., after sending Tasha to school, Billy and Stout drove Harleen and her sister to the Ozin Military Department to take a military plane back to Ether Mountain. After seeing off Harleen and her sister, for the next two or three days, Billy, apart from accompanying his daughter, supervised White Tiger and Rakshasa in their cultivation. Since he returned to Ozin half a month ago, whenever he had spare time, he wholeheartedly practiced Heart Sutra of the Azure Void.
In these ten-plus days, Billy condensed two more Chi Essence Pills, giving one to each of White Tiger and Rakshasa. With the effect of the Chi Essence Pills and a pile of spiritual fruits, the breakthroughs of White Tiger and Rakshasa were without suspense. White Tiger not only achieved the Mirror-Shattering to the God-Emperor realm but also directly broke through to the preliminary stage of the War God-Emperor realm. As for Rakshasa, she consecutively broke through three levels, reaching the complete stage of the War Emperor realm, just a step away from the War God-Emperor realm.
Three days later, in the morning, Billy, accompanied by Stout and the newlyweds White Tiger and Rakshasa, boarded a plane to the Capital City. This time, he went to the capital for two reasons. One was for White Tiger’s business in the Northern Region, and the other was to handle a few things in the capital before the arrival of the national fortune.
“Boss!” In less than two hours, the four people came out of the airport, and Night Orchid and Brigham Bush approached to greet them.
“Orchid!” White Tiger and Rakshasa greeted Night Orchid.
“White Tiger, Rakshasa, are you here to visit your in-laws together?” Night Orchid smiled and replied.
As early as half a month ago, she had received news that White Tiger and Rakshasa had returned to Ozin, so seeing them was not surprising.
“Orchid, you’re making fun of me.” Rakshasa’s face blushed slightly.
“Orchid, where’s Ian? Didn’t he come with you?” White Tiger scratched his head and asked casually.
Night Orchid chuckled, “Ian and Bob have been very busy lately. It’s difficult to meet them both at the same time.”
“Are they busy with opening the national fortune channel?” Stout asked.
“Yes.” Night Orchid nodded. “This matter is of great importance. In recent days, all the government offices in the capital are busy with it, and even Ivy is so busy that she can’t be seen.”
“Wasn’t it said that this matter should be kept secret until the auspicious day? Why is it public now?” Stout asked somewhat puzzled.
“It’s less than a month away from the actual day. It can be made public now,” Night Orchid explained. “After all, this matter involves all aspects, and all departments need to prepare in advance. Otherwise, there will be chaos when the time comes.”
“Alright.” Stout shrugged.
“Night Orchid, is there anything special happening in the capital recently?” After everyone got into the car, Billy asked Night Orchid.
“There’s nothing specific, but according to the feedback from our people below, many martial artists have suddenly flooded into the capital,” Night Orchid said, looking thoughtful.
“I can understand that,” Billy nodded slightly. “With the opening of the national fortune channel, it not only involves the adjustment of the domestic situation but also affects Glavale’s influence in the world. Naturally, it will attract the attention of many people.”
“Yea!” Night Orchid nodded again. “Boss, should I have our brothers keep an eye on these people?”
“Give Azure Fang and the others a call later,” Billy said after a moment of thought. “Let them inform the brothers below that for the next half a month, each of them should keep an eye on their respective areas! Watch the local martial artists casually, as long as they don’t cause trouble, ignore them. Focus on observing the foreign martial artists. No matter which country they come from, keep track of their whereabouts until the national fortune channel opens!”
“Got it!” Night Orchid nodded in response.
At this moment, Billy’s phone rang, showing an unfamiliar number. He picked it up and asked, “Who is this?”
“Commander Gardner, I’m Joel Greenwood!” a somewhat urgent voice came from the other end of the phone.
“What’s wrong?” Billy furrowed his brows slightly.
Over two months ago, he spared Joel Greenwood’s life and instructed him to find out all the people from the sects and ancient families in the capital and arrange them in various government offices. At that time, he gave Joel Greenwood a three-month deadline. Starting from today, there were still four or five days left until the deadline. One of the things Joel had to do in the capital this time was to clear out these small fries from the government offices before the national fortune arrived.
“Commander Gardner, are you in the capital?” Joel Greenwood continued.
“I just got off the plane. What’s going on over there?” Billy could sense something unusual from Joel’s tone.
“are you really in the capital?” Upon hearing Billy’s words, Joel Greenwood’s tone lifted. “I’ve almost finished what you told me to do. I’ve prepared a list of personnel, including what most of them have done in the past few years. I planned to give it to you today, but it seems they have sensed something. Now they’re sending people to kill me.”
“Hmm?” Billy was slightly stunned and asked, “Where are you now?”
“I’m in…” Joel Greenwood’s words weren’t finished, and there was a muffled sound in the phone. After that, the call was hung up.
“Hmm?” Billy furrowed his brows slightly. Then, he dialed the number again, but it was already showing that it couldn’t be connected.
“Boss, what’s going on?” Night Orchid asked.
“Brigham, stop the car!” Billy shouted and handed the phone to Night Orchid. “have someone trace this number, now!”
“Yes!” Night Orchid nodded, somewhat stunned, and took out her phone to send a group message.
“Boss, what happened?” White Tiger’s face changed slightly as he asked.
