“Mr Stuart, Aunt Edie, you can rest assured. If Billy says he can do it, then he will!” Ivy spoke up.
“That’s great!” Edie’s face lit up as she looked at Stephanie.
“Stephanie, if your meridians can really be repaired, your breakthrough speed in the future should not be affected much!”
Stephanie smiled warmly and then turned to Billy. “Billy, what do you need to repair my meridians?”
“Nothing,” Billy smiled and shook his head. “With Ivy and Stout assisting me, it will be enough.”
“Billy, what kind of medicine is needed to completely eliminate the force in Mrs Stuart’s body?” Ivy continued to ask.
“Do you remember when Elder Wonder helped Elder Blade eliminate the hidden illness last time?” Billy asked in return.
“Yes?” Ivy hesitated. “Crystal Spirit Fruit?”
“Exactly!” Billy nodded.
“What is Crystal Spirit Fruit?” Edie asked, puzzled.
“It is an extremely rare natural treasure, highly valuable for medicinal purposes. The fruit is blue in color and translucent throughout.” Ivy explained.
“Ivy, does Secret Essences Sect have any stock?” Frostblade asked.
“No!” Ivy shook her head. “As far as I know, both Secret Essences Sect and Ether Mountain have no stock.”
“Mr Stuart, Crystal Spirit Fruits generally grow in the icy tundra environment. If you can, please inquire about whether there are any of these fruits in the Polar Snow Domain,” Billy then turned to Sol Stuart.
Crystal Spirit Fruits were extremely rare, priceless, and could not be sought after. It could only be a matter of luck.
“Alright, I will arrange it immediately!” Sol Stuart nodded vigorously.
“Mom, are Opal and Amber in Skydragon City as well?” Harleen asked Stephanie.
“No, they are not.” Stephanie shook her head. “They went to the City of Angels.”
“What? Why did they go to the City of Angels? Just the two of them? Isn’t that very dangerous?” Felicia exclaimed in surprise.
A hint of seriousness appeared on the faces of Billy and the others at the same time. Before this, they had already learned from Stephanie what kind of place the City of Angels was.
The City of Angels, with a very nice name that people yearned for, was actually the most chaotic place in the entire Polar Domain. There, people from all walks of life were present, and it was completely a synonym for ‘chaos’! The several extremely special places in the Central Part were all located near the City of Angels.
“The old master of Ether Mountain arranged for them to go. As for specific matters, I am not very clear,” Stephanie continued. “But don’t worry too much. With their skills, as long as they don’t encounter the strong experts of the Saint realm, there shouldn’t be any major problems. Even if they are not a match, they should be able to retreat safely!”
“Okay!” Everyone nodded at the same time.
“They are really despicable!” Just then, a slightly angry voice could be heard from outside, followed by a commotion.
“Stephanie, it’s Vice City Lord’s voice!” Edie furrowed her brows slightly and remarked.
“Yes!” Stephanie nodded. “Let’s go out and see.” After speaking, she led everyone out.
When they reached the door, they all looked out and saw a group of people gathered in the open space not far away. In the middle of the crowd lay a young man in his early twenties, already in a state of unconsciousness. Three other young men and women stood on the side, each with varying degrees of injuries. The person who spoke earlier was a middle-aged man, less than fifty years old, with a square face, thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a sturdy figure. At this moment, his face was filled with extreme anger.
“Lady Stephanie!” When the onlookers saw Stephanie, they all greeted her respectfully.
Stephanie nodded slightly and walked up to the middle-aged man. “Mr Gentry, what happened? How did Del get injured like this?”
“Thank you for your concern, Madam!” the middle-aged man named Corey Gentry looked at Stephanie and bowed slightly. “Del and the others came back from outside the city on business and encountered some juniors from the Vaughan clan and the Moyer family in the city. The other party deliberately troubled them, and as Del and the others were upset, they got into a conflict with them. Later, the eldest son of the Moyer family proposed to have a fair duel with Del. Del didn’t agree, but the other party provoked them with offensive language.”
“In the end, Del agreed, but the other party was particularly ruthless. Not only did they seriously injure him, but they also wanted to destroy his cultivation! If it weren’t for Mr Warner and his men patrolling there, Del would either have died or become disabled by now!”
“Nonsense?!” Upon hearing his words, a sense of anger permeated Stephanie. She then looked at the middle-aged man beside her. “Mr Warner, where is the person who attacked? Have you brought them back?”
“Madam!” Warner bowed and responded, “Both sides agreed to a fair duel, it is not convenient for me to bring them back…”
“What’s inconvenient about that!” Stephanie interrupted him. “Go, Warner, take people with you, and bring back all the participants!”
“At your command!” Warner nodded vigorously and turned to leave.
“Forget it!” Corey Gentry let out a sigh and looked at Stephanie. “Thank you for your kindness, Madam!”
“But this matter is not so simple. The other party clearly did not act on a whim. If Warner goes to arrest them, I’m afraid certain people will take advantage of the situation! It is a critical time now, it is better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Moreover, Del will be fine after some rest!”
“I understand!” Stephanie responded in a deep voice. “Their motives are aimed at me! But no matter what their purpose is, they must be held accountable for today’s incident!” After speaking, she looked at Warner again. “Warner, go, I will take responsibility for anything that happens!”
She knew, of course, what the other party was aiming for! As a mere woman and in the current situation of her declining cultivation, her ability to act as the acting City Lord for such a long time relied on the loyal people who were helping her. These people were all loyal to Billy’s father back then. Without them, she would have collapsed long ago. The people of the major families understood this as well. So, today’s incident was obviously not an isolated event. The other party was clearly planning to act against her people.
“Mom, I’ll go!” Billy spoke up. With his intelligence, he understood what was hidden behind this incident and the difficulties his mother faced. The City Lord’s Manor couldn’t intervene but he could.
“Huh?”
All the people present, including Corey Gentry, were surprised to hear Billy call Stephanie “Mom.”
The people in the City Lord’s Manor all knew that the City Lord and his wife had had a child, but the child had tragically passed away more than ten years ago. But now, to hear Billy call her “Mom”!
“Madam, who is this?” Corey Gentry steadied his emotions and asked Stephanie.
“This is my son!” Stephanie smiled and introduced.
“Oh?” Corey Gentry exclaimed in surprise. “But didn’t you and the City Lord originally say…”
“I only learned recently that my son is still alive!” Stephanie smiled again.
“I see!” Corey Gentry suddenly realized. “Congratulations to Madam and the Young Master for reuniting!” After speaking, he bowed to Billy. “Greetings, Young Master!”
“Mr Gentry, no need to be so polite!” Billy also bowed slightly to Corey Gentry. “Thank you for all the help you have given my mother over the years!”
“Young Master, you are too kind!” Corey Gentry responded. “It is all part of my duty!”
“Greetings, Young Master!” At the same time, Warner and the others all bowed respectfully.
“No need for so much courtesy, everyone!” Billy raised his hand. “I should thank all of you for your strong support.”
“Young Master, why do I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before?” Right after that, Warner looked at Billy and spoke.
“Have I met you somewhere?”
