“I would like to thank Mr. Billy on behalf of everyone in the Akabuchi star domain!” Edward Quinn spoke again.
“You’re too kind, Lord Quinn. I am also a member of the Akabuchi star domain; it’s my duty,” Billy responded with a light smile.
“Regardless, we must thank Mr. Billy!” Edward Quinn continued.
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a storage ring appeared in front of Billy.
“Mr. Billy, inside this storage ring, besides some cultivation resources, there is also a Mystic Echo Stone,” Edward Quinn explained.
“Mystic Echo Stone?” Billy was slightly taken aback. It was the first time he had heard of it.
“The Mystic Echo Stone is a type of sound transmission stone, but its transmission range is far superior to that of ordinary sound transmission stones,” John Doe explained to Billy.
“The Mystic Echo Stone given to you by Lord Quinn allows you to transmit messages from anywhere within our third-tier star domain.”
“Oh?” Billy was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected such an advanced sound transmission stone.
He then released his spiritual power to scan the storage ring and couldn’t help but be impressed. The storage ring contained only a few dozen items, but each was extraordinary, including several thousand-year Spirit Fruits.
The value of these items was significantly higher than any of his previous gains.
“Thank you, Lord Quinn!” Billy accepted the storage ring.
“Mr. Billy, you’re too polite; it’s just some external possessions!” Edward Quinn smiled.
After chatting for a while about the current situation, everyone took their leave.
Before leaving, Billy asked Edward Quinn why no one from the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce attended the meeting. He was told that the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce was reorganizing its sect and couldn’t send anyone to participate.
“Boss!”
Billy, John Doe, and Lonely Shadow walked outside the council building, where Casey and Harleen greeted them.
They then exchanged greetings with John Doe.
“It’s you?” Azure Dragon and the others were surprised when they saw Lonely Shadow.
“We meet again,” Lonely Shadow smiled faintly.
“Azure Dragon, do you know her?” Casey asked Azure Dragon in surprise.
During the Prodigy List competition, Casey, Harleen, and Ivy had been in the competition area and hadn’t met Lonely Shadow.
“Yes,” Azure Dragon nodded. “We talked for a bit during the Prodigy List top fifteen ranking match.”
“Opal, Amber, let me introduce you. This is Senior Lonely Shadow,” Billy said to Opal and Amber.
“What? Are you Senior Lonely Shadow from the Akabuchi Four Elders?” White Tiger and Bob exclaimed in surprise, and the others also showed expressions of astonishment.
“Why? Don’t I look like it?” Lonely Shadow smiled again.
“I’m sorry for not recognizing you earlier, Senior Lonely Shadow,” Opal said with a slight bow.
“No problem!” Lonely Shadow waved her hand.
“Opal, Amber, Senior Lonely Shadow has agreed to take you both as her disciples. I’ve already accepted on your behalf,” Billy said with a smile.
“What?” White Tiger and the others exclaimed.
“Senior Lonely Shadow, are you serious?” Bob asked.
“Of course!” Lonely Shadow smiled at Opal and Amber. “So, do you two think I’m worthy?”
“Opal, Amber, this is a great opportunity!” Judge exclaimed.
“Thank you for your recognition, Senior Lonely Shadow!” Opal and Amber bowed to Lonely Shadow after exchanging glances.
“As long as you don’t mind me,” Lonely Shadow replied with a smile.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by you!” Amber added.
A few minutes later, Opal and Amber bid farewell to everyone and left with Lonely Shadow.
Billy felt comfortable letting them go because of his brief interaction with Lonely Shadow and his trust in John Doe. If Lonely Shadow were unreliable, John Doe wouldn’t have suggested accepting her offer.
Before leaving, Lonely Shadow told Billy where she lived so he could visit Opal and Amber anytime.
“Mr. Billy, I will also take my leave. Don’t forget to visit my uncle in the next few days,” John Doe said to Billy.
“Thank you, Senior!” Billy bowed slightly. “Please tell Mr. Vasquez that I will visit him tomorrow.”
“Alright!” John Doe said goodbye to Harleen and the others before leaving.
“Boss, did you cut off that old man’s arm from the Carr family?” White Tiger asked Billy after John Doe left.
“Yes,” Billy nodded.
“Boss, I noticed that before the Carr family left, they looked at us like they wanted to eat us alive. I don’t think they’ll let this go easily,” Night Orchid said.
“The Carr family is not a big deal. Be more cautious of Star Fragment Abbey,” Billy nodded slightly.
“Understood!” everyone responded.
“Let’s go back to the hotel!” Billy led everyone towards the main gate.
“Mr. Billy, please wait!” A graceful voice called out from behind just as they took a few steps.
Billy turned around and saw Celine Quinn approaching with Erica Cardenas following her.
“Boss, is she the princess of Akabuchi Star Palace?” Bob asked.
“Yes,” Billy nodded before addressing Celine Quinn. “Hello, Princess.”
“This must be Lady Harleen?” Celine Quinn said as she approached Harleen first.
“I’ve heard that Lady Harleen is a rare beauty. Seeing you today proves that the rumors are true.”
“You flatter me,” Harleen smiled faintly. “No one dares boast about their beauty in front of the princess!”
“Lady Harleen is too kind!” Celine Quinn smiled before turning to Billy. “Mr. Billy, may I have a word with you?”
“What is it?” Billy asked.
“I have something to discuss with you,” Celine Quinn nodded.
“You can say it here…” Billy responded.
“Billy, go with the princess. We’ll wait for you at the hotel,” Harleen interrupted him.
“Alright then,” Billy agreed after a moment’s thought.
A few minutes later, Billy followed Celine Quinn to an elegant courtyard on the west side of the Domain Lord’s Mansion. Erica Cardenas stood guard at the entrance.
“Mr. Billy, I apologize for what happened at Black Rock Gorge last time,” Celine Quinn said to Billy.
“No need to apologize; it was a minor issue,” Billy responded.
“Thank you for your understanding,” Celine Quinn paused before continuing. “I heard that Mr. Billy has become a disciple of Mr. Vasquez?”
“The princess is well-informed!” Billy nodded in surprise. Although he was curious about how she knew, he quickly realized that it wasn’t a secret anymore after his recent activities at the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce courtyard.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by Mr. Vasquez; Mr. Billy must be extraordinary!” Celine Quinn said.
“You flatter me,” Billy responded.
“Mr. Billy, I heard that you possess one of the Ten Sacred Objects?” Celine Quinn suddenly asked.
