“Thank you, Casper!” Simon Stuart said, calming his emotions and looking at Billy.
“No worries.” Billy replied with a faint smile. “Uncle Simon, I will stay at home for a few more days this time. Tomorrow, select a few people, and I will try to help them improve their cultivation,” Billy continued.
“Hmm?” Simon Stuart was slightly taken aback, then his eyes lit up. “That’s great! Thank you, Casper!”
Although he had never personally witnessed someone helping others improve their cultivation in such a short period of time, he had heard of such methods. He knew that some people could use special techniques to modify a person’s body and then supplement it with medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits to rapidly increase their cultivation level. He never expected Billy to possess such skills as well.
“Billy, can you really improve cultivation in just a few days?” Sacha asked, looking somewhat surprised. She had also started calling him Billy, following Violet’s lead.
“Sacha, others may not be able to, but Billy definitely can!” Violet said, with an expression of blind admiration. In her eyes, there was nothing that Billy couldn’t accomplish.
“Really?” Sacha’s eyes lit up. “Then I want it too! I want to become as strong as you, Billy!”
Both Bob and Violet coughed simultaneously.
“Sacha, don’t be silly!” Bella Stuart rolled her eyes, exasperated.
“I was just joking!” Sacha stuck out her tongue and then turned to Billy. “Billy, what level can you help me reach?”
“You’ve recently broken through to the War Grandmaster realm, right?” Billy smiled again. “If everything goes well, I can help you break through to the Emperor realm.”
“Really?” Sacha was momentarily stunned, then she excitedly exclaimed, “Is that true?”
Chuckling, Harleen smiled and said, “Sacha, don’t worry. Billy says he can do it, there’s no doubt about it.”
Sacha nodded vigorously. “That’s great! Thank you, Billy!”
After chatting for a while, Billy turned to Simon Stuart and asked, “Uncle Simon, is Elder Warren still here?”
“Yes!” Simon nodded emphatically. “Elder Warren once said that he lives and dies for the Stuart family. In this lifetime, he will never leave the Stuart family,” Billy said. “It’s thanks to Elder Warren that even our family of three, including Sacha, have been able to survive. But in recent years, Elder Warren has rarely been involved in too many matters. He spends most of his time in his little courtyard and rarely comes out. I visit him every month to have a drink and play chess, and Sacha occasionally goes to chat with him.”
“Uncle Simon, was it Grandpa Warren who spoke up for me back then, saving my life from Estelle Stuart?” Violet looked at Simon and asked.
Back then, there was turmoil within the Frazier clan in the capital city. Violet Frazier’s father was stripped of his position as clan leader by the clan’s patriarch, Estelle Stuart, and imprisoned in a cave in the back mountains. Violet Frazier herself was confined to a dilapidated small garden within the family estate. She had heard that if it weren’t for someone from the Stuart family speaking up for her, she would have been long gone.
“Yes!” Simon nodded in response. “For that matter, Elder Warren had a falling out with Cecil Stuart over this. If it weren’t for Elder Warren’s skills, Cecil Stuart probably wouldn’t have spared him either.”
“It’s really Grandpa Warren!” Violet Frazier’s eyes welled up with tears. After a momentary pause, she looked at Billy. “Billy, let’s go see him, okay?”
“Sure!” Billy nodded and got up.
Elder Warren was one of the people in the Stuart family Billy cared about.
Soon, the group walked out of the hall and headed towards the back of the estate.
“Billy, who is Elder Warren?” Harleen asked Billy as they walked.
“Elder Warren used to be my grandfather’s personal bodyguard!” Billy smiled faintly and explained Warren White’s background to Harleen.
Before long, the group passed through the back gate of the estate and arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard behind the main compound.
They saw an old man sitting cross-legged on a stone bench, his eyes closed, surrounded by swirling energy. It was evident that he was meditating and cultivating.
“Is it Simon?” The old man, Warren White, naturally, didn’t open his eyes when he heard the commotion at the entrance. After a momentary pause, as if sensing something, he continued, “Did you bring guests to visit me today?”
While speaking, he opened his eyes.
“Hmm?” When Warren White saw the group at the entrance, he was slightly taken aback. It had been many years since so many people had come to visit him at once.
“Grandpa Warren, guess who’s here?” Sacha Stuart smiled as she walked towards him.
“Violet?” Warren White recognized Violet Frazier at a glance. “Why are you here?”
Violet Frazier quickly walked up and knelt down, her voice choked with emotion. “Grandpa Warren, I’m sorry. It’s because of me that you suffered!”
“Get up, girl.” Warren White got off the stone bench and helped Violet Frazier up. “It’s shameful to say, but my abilities are limited. I could only ensure that you and your father stayed alive. I couldn’t do much else.”
“You’ve done enough for me and my father!” Violet stood up and bowed deeply to Warren White.
“Grandpa Warren, nice to meet you! I am Bob Stokes.” Bob walked forward and bowed deeply.
“Haha, young man, no need for so much courtesy!” Warren White nodded at the two of them and smiled. “You are Violet’s sweetheart, right?”
“You really have sharp eyes to see that!” Bob grinned.
“Haha, indeed, young man, you are in good spirits, Violet has good taste!” Warren White laughed again.
“Grandpa Warren, you’re making fun of me!” Violet blushed. Then, she pointed mischievously at Billy and said, “Grandpa Warren, guess who he is?”
Actually, Warren White didn’t need her reminder. He had already noticed Billy, or rather, he had noticed both Billy and Harleen. Their presence was too outstanding that it was impossible not to notice them. He also faintly sensed a familiar aura from Billy, though not very clearly.
“Who is this young man?” Warren White paused for a moment before asking.
“Elder Warren, I am Casper!” Billy led Harleen and walked up quickly. Standing in front of Warren White, he bowed deeply. “Thank you for all these years!”
“Hmm?!” Warren White froze for a moment, then carefully scrutinized Billy. In the next moment, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his face was filled with an expression of disbelief as he stared at Billy.
“Are… are you really the young master?!”
