“Such thick skin!” The woman in the yellow dress pouted.
“Senior John Doe, we need your help!” Billy’s lips twitched as he looked at the elder John Doe.
“Haha, no need to be so polite, young man!” John Doe was in a good mood.
He then turned to the woman in the yellow dress. “Girl, take him back to the training ground!”
“Alright!” The woman in the yellow dress looked at Stout. “Fatty, are you walking on your own, or do I have to carry you?”
“Don’t touch me!” Stout pouted and looked at Billy. “Boss, you and Mr. Kimmons better not forget about me. Come visit me often!”
“Alright, Stout, stop nagging. We’ll come see you!” White Tiger glared at him.
Reluctantly, Stout followed the woman in the yellow dress and left.
“Young man, would you like to come inside and sit for a while?” John Doe asked Billy.
“Thank you, senior, but I won’t disturb you today. I’ll come another day.” Billy cupped his hands.
After a brief pause, as if remembering something, he continued, “Senior, may I ask you about someone?”
“Who?” John Doe asked.
“Have you ever heard of Kymani Vasquez?” Billy inquired.
“Hmm?” John Doe was visibly taken aback by Billy’s question. “Young man, where did you hear that name?”
“Senior, do you know Kymani Vasquez?” Billy’s eyes lit up.
He could tell from John Doe’s expression that he had heard of him.
“You haven’t told me how you know that name,” John Doe countered.
“My ancestor sent me to find him,” Billy replied.
“Ancestor?” John Doe was puzzled. “What is your ancestor’s name?”
“Senior, to be honest, I don’t know my ancestor’s full name. I only know he is from the Ravenwood family,” Billy responded.
“Hmm?!” John Doe’s pupils contracted slightly. “Are you a descendant of Senior Ravenwood?”
“Senior, do you know my ancestor?” Billy was surprised.
“Of course!” John Doe nodded with a smile. “My life was saved by Mr. Ravenwood. Do you think I know him?”
“What?!” Casey and the others exclaimed in unison.
“Senior, do you mean you’ve met our boss’s ancestor?” Azure Dragon asked.
“Indeed!” John Doe smiled again. “But that was over a hundred years ago!”
“A hundred years ago?” Judge’s lips twitched. “May I ask how old you are, senior?”
“I don’t know how long this old body has lived, but it should be close to two hundred years,” John Doe replied.
“Young man, are you really a descendant of Senior Ravenwood?” John Doe asked Billy again.
“To be honest, my mother is from the Ravenwood family,” Billy nodded.
“I see!” John Doe nodded and continued, “Did Senior Ravenwood mention why he wanted you to find Kymani Vasquez?”
“He didn’t say. He just told me to look for Kymani Vasquez if I ever came to Akabuchi City,” Billy replied.
“Senior, do you really know Kymani Vasquez? Who is he exactly?” Azure Dragon asked.
“He is my martial uncle,” John Doe smiled again.
“What?!” Casey and the others were once again shocked.
Such a coincidence?!
“Senior, where is your martial uncle? Why did no one in Akabuchi City know his name when we asked around?” Casey asked.
“My martial uncle has been out of touch with the world for many years. The name Kymani Vasquez hasn’t been mentioned for over a century. Naturally, ordinary people wouldn’t know it,” John Doe explained with another smile.
“I see!” Everyone finally understood.
“Senior, is Kymani Vasquez in Akabuchi City?” Billy asked.
“My martial uncle enjoys a free and unrestrained life. He rarely stays in one place for long, so few people know his whereabouts,” John Doe replied.
“Even you can’t find him?” Azure Dragon frowned slightly.
“I haven’t finished speaking,” John Doe smiled faintly. “However, you’re in luck. My martial uncle returned a few days ago. If you had come a few days later, he would have left again.”
“Really?” Everyone’s eyes lit up.
“Yes!” John Doe nodded and looked at Billy. “Young man, what is your name?”
“Billy Gardner!” Billy replied.
“Billy Gardner?” John Doe was surprised. “Are you from Sky City?”
Clearly, due to the treasure within him, Billy’s name had spread throughout the Akabuchi star domain.
“Yes!” Billy smiled.
“Really?” John Doe was surprised again. “I’ve heard of Mr. Billy’s deeds for a long time. I didn’t expect to meet you today.”
“Mr. Billy truly deserves his reputation as a talented genius who can master one of the Ten Sacred Objects!”
With his late-stage Otherworldly Realm strength, he could withstand ninety percent of John Doe’s power. Such combat strength was rare even in Akabuchi City!
“Senior, you’re too kind!” Billy smiled.
“Mr. Billy, please wait here while I inform my martial uncle,” John Doe said.
“Thank you, senior!” Billy nodded.
John Doe then flew towards the back mountain.
About ten minutes later, two figures appeared within Billy’s sight.
One was naturally John Doe.
The other was an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a gray robe, exuding an ethereal aura with no detectable energy fluctuations around him.
Billy tried to probe the old man’s cultivation level but got no response.
“Billy, that person is very strong!” Purple Spirit’s voice echoed in Billy’s mind.
“Can you detect his exact cultivation level?” Billy asked internally.
“No,” Purple Spirit replied. “But he is definitely stronger than a late-stage Perceiving Dao Realm expert!”
“So strong?” Billy was slightly taken aback.
“Even stronger!” Purple Spirit added.
“Alright,” Billy nodded slightly.
Akabuchi City indeed hid many powerful individuals, far surpassing other places.
Originally, he thought the strongest person in Akabuchi City would be at most mid-stage Perceiving Dao Realm.
But he hadn’t expected to encounter such a powerful expert within just a few days!
“Martial Uncle, this is Mr. Billy from Sky City!” After landing on the ground, John Doe pointed at Billy.
“Greetings, senior!” Billy cupped his hands towards Kymani Vasquez.
“Greetings, senior!” Casey and the others also bowed simultaneously.
“The Golden Bloodline of the Ravenwood clan!” Kymani Vasquez examined Billy’s body and his eyes lit up slightly. “You are indeed a descendant of Mr. Ravenwood!”
After a brief pause, he continued, “Tell your people to go back; you come with me!”
