The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 203 Attending The Banquet

Chapter 203 Attending the Banquet

The next morning, Billy gave Derek his answer, allowing him to proceed with the matter. Upon hearing this, Derek immediately set things in motion.

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, three days had passed.

"Daddy, Uncle Casey fell asleep there again!"

At around 5 p. m. that day, as Billy and Stout were picking up Tasha from school and heading towards the villa's entrance, Tasha pointed to the pavilion where Casey had dozed off last time.

Since the decision for Casey to take over as the commander of the eastern district, Stout had become Billy's driver and was enjoying his time, spending it playing with Tasha.

"Tasha, Uncle Casey is practicing!" Stout chuckled.

"Practicing? What kind of practice? I want to practice too!" Tasha blinked her big eyes.

"You want to practice too? Should I teach you someday, Missy?" Stout laughed and asked.

"I don't want you to teach me! You don't know kung fu, and you might teach me the wrong things. I want Uncle Casey and Daddy to teach me." Tasha firmly shook her head.

Stout nearly choked on his own saliva. He was, after all, a prodigious talent in martial arts with a legacy of hundreds of years. How could he be accused of not knowing kung fu?

"Don't underestimate Uncle Stout, Tasha. He's amazing." Billy patted Tasha's little head.

"Really?" Tasha looked skeptical. "He's so chubby, can he really do kung fu?"

"Of course!" Billy smiled again.

Boom!

Just at that moment, an astonishing surge of aura exploded from Casey. The pavilion's roof was directly blown into the air, and its four pillars were shattered simultaneously. The poor pavilion, which had barely been repaired since it was about to collapse last time, suffered yet another calamity. And this time, it would need a complete reconstruction.

Even standing a hundred meters away, Billy and the others could sense the formidable power.

"Wow, how did the pavilion's roof fly up like that? It's so cool!" Tasha jumped in surprise, then exclaimed excitedly.

"War Grandmaster realm!?" Stout's face revealed shock.

"Exactly! It happened even faster than I expected!" Billy laughed, then carried Tasha and walked over.

"Casey, you're really impressive. You've broken through to the War Grandmaster realm!" Approaching the pavilion, Stout looked at Casey, who had just stood up from the ground, and said.

"All thanks to boss helping me open up my meridians last time. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy." Casey beamed, looking at Billy. "Thanks, Boss!"

"Congratulations!" Billy smiled in response. "Breaking through to the War Grandmaster realm means stepping onto the true pinnacle of martial arts. There's a much broader space waiting for you up there. Keep up the good work and strive to enter the War Emperor realm soon!"

In the path of martial arts, the War Grandmaster realm was followed by the War Emperor realm, which was another brand new realm that countless martial artists dreamed of reaching.

"I won't let you down!" Casey nodded enthusiastically.

Ding-ling-ling!

Just then, Casey's phone rang. He picked it up and looked at Billy after ending the call. "It's from the Capital."

"Go ahead," Billy smiled.

Casey nodded and answered the call. Two minutes later, he spoke into the phone, "I see."

Hanging up the call, he turned to Billy again. "The War Department wants both Azure Dragon and me to go to the Capital."

"Congratulations, Commander Kimmons!" Billy said with a smile.

"Boss, stop teasing me." Casey laughed awkwardly.

"Go ahead, and when the two of you come back, we'll celebrate!" Billy smiled again.

"Thank you, Commander Gardner!" Casey responded with a loud voice.

After bidding farewell to Stout and Tasha, he turned and left.

"Boss, when will you guide me so that I can also break through to the War Grandmaster realm sooner?" Stout spoke up while they were walking to the house.

"Your physique is quite unique, breaking through isn't that easy for you." Billy replied.

"However, your future achievements won't be worse than Casey's. If you can break through as soon as possible and return to the sect, Elder Wonder can help you step into the Grandmaster realm with a special method."

"That's alright, I might not be able to come back once I return to the sect. I haven't had my fill of fun yet!"

"Stout, you're an adult. You can't always think about having fun. You need to work hard." Tasha said in a tone resembling that of an adult.

Stout's mouth twitched. "Yes, Your Highness!"

Tasha burst into laughter.

Around 5 p. m., Billy received a call from Harleen Knight.

"Honey, are you free tonight?"

"Yes, I am. What's up?" Billy asked with a smile.

"There's a banquet at the company tonight. All the managers are required to attend, and we can bring our family members. If you're free, can I take you out for a meal?" Harleen Knight playfully suggested.

"Sure!" Billy replied with a smile.

Earlier that morning, Derek had informed Billy that the company's restructuring plan would be announced at the banquet. He just hadn't expected Harleen Knight to invite him as well. However, it was a good opportunity to support his wife.

"Why don't you come over to our side? The banquet is being held at a five-star hotel opposite our office building." Harleen Knight continued.

"Alright, I'll be right over!" Billy said before ending the call.

Billy then informed Sharon, exchanged a few words with Stout, and the two of them headed out.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of the luxurious hotel.

"Hey, darling!" Harleen walked out of the lobby and greeted Billy with a smile. She then turned to Stout and grinned, "Hey, Stout!"

"Hello, Ms Knight!" Stout grinned back.

"Shall we go? Let's take Stout with us to have a meal." Harleen Knight said playfully.

"Alright!" Billy agreed with a smile.

"Ms Knight, I'm not going. You and boss go ahead. I'll be waiting for you guys at the café over there." Stout responded with a smile.

"Can't do that!" Harleen shook her head. "Come with us. The company has booked the entire third floor of this hotel for the banquet. There's a lot of delicious food up there, I promise you'll like it."

"Alright then!" Stout grinned again.

Ten minutes later, the three of them arrived on the hotel's third floor. Exiting the elevator, they were met with a bustling corridor filled with people and lively chatter.

"Hmm!?" Harleen looked puzzled. "Why are there so many people? And I don't recognize many of them!" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Mr Knight, you've finally arrived. I've been looking for you!" Just then, a woman's voice rang out. It was Ava Jones.

Following her was the voluptuous beauty they had dined with last time, Hannah Hill.

"Hello, Mr Gardner!" The two beauties walked up and greeted Billy.

"Hello!" Billy smiled and introduced Stout to them.

"Hello, beautiful ladies!" Stout greeted them in a casual manner. "I've noticed that both of you have slightly dry skin. I have a nice skincare product. Would you ladies like to give it a try?"

Stout's words caused Ava Jones and the others to freeze for a moment.

Harleen was also taken aback. "Who would try to get close to beautiful women in such a manner?" she thought.
