Chapter 194 You Should Lose Weight
"Maybe you should consider it," Billy said, looking thoughtful. "For you, it's an opportunity. Andbesides, the east region can't continue like this!"
"Boss, let me ask you something," Casey said after a moment of thought. "Would you take over theWar Department in the capital city?"
"If that's your plan, I'll take on this task. Otherwise, I'll stay in the Western Territory." He added.
Everyone present could hear what Casey was implying. If Billy were to take over the WarDepartment in the capital, he would need people to support him from below. Just having peoplefrom the western region wouldn't be enough. Even though there weren't any objection in thenorthern region, those in the central and southern areas clearly didn't see eye-to-eye with Billy. Ifthey couldn't even hold onto the eastern region, it would certainly not bode well for Billy's futurework.
"I haven't decided yet," Billy shook his head.
For him personally, he had no interest in coming to the capital; he had no desire to deal with allthose boring things that came along with it. If there was a choice, he would rather spend his wholelife staying in the western region.
However, that old man had high expectations for him and achieving the old man's goals was farbeyond what Billy could accomplish in the current situation.
It was a very realistic problem; just look at this trip to the capital - even though they knew severalmajor clans were problematic, they couldn't do anything about them due to their positions beinglimited. It wasn't because their fighting power wasn't strong enough - with 100 thousand SHADOW
warriors plus tens of thousands of Army of Bloodshadow soldiers, Billy could easily wipe out severalclans. But things were not so simple as many people and matters were beyond their reach.
"That's fine. Let me know when you've made up your mind, and I'll decide whether or not to take onthis task." Casey responded again.
"Okay." Billy nodded.
...
"Dad, Mom, you two lazybones, it's time to wake up!"
The next morning at 9 AM, Billy and Harleen felt like they had just fallen asleep when they heardtheir daughter shouting. They had almost stayed up all night again last night. The redness onHarleen's face still hadn't completely faded away.
"Oh! Billy, get up quickly! It's already nine o'clock!" After being awakened by Tasha's voice, Harleenlooked at the clock on the wall and pushed Billy beside her in a hurry.
"Honey, sleep a little longer. It's Saturday today anyway. You don't have to go to work. Let Tashaplay by herself." Billy opened his eyes and smiled.
"No way! Get up quickly! We look like this now, if Tasha rushes in here it will be so embarrassing."While speaking she picked up clothes scattered all over the floor as she got out of bed.
"Don't worry about it, Mom won't let her come in. Mom is a reasonable person." Billy said andlaughed again.
"No way no way! So embarrassing!" Harleen blushed with embarrassment as she put on clotheswhile talking,
"Billy, get up quickly! The weather is nice today, after breakfast we can take Tasha out for somefun."
"Okay then!" Billy rolled over and got out of bed
An hour later, the family of five was getting ready to leave for the park when the doorbell outsiderang.
"May I ask who you are?" Sharon opened the door and asked Stout who was holding a handbag.
"Hello, Mrs Knight, I'm Damian Chandler, but you can call me Stout. Billy is my brother." As hespoke he handed Sharon his handbag
"Mrs Knight, this is the 500-year-old wild ginseng that I brought specifically for you and Mr Knight.Please accept it!"
Sharon's eyes were fixed on Stout as if she was watching a circus act. Stout's appearance was nodifferent from that of a street fortune teller.novelbin
'Is he shooting a movie? Why not say it's 1, 000-year-old ginseng?' Sharon thought to herself.
"Mom, please take it!" Billy led Harleen and Tasha out and smiled at Sharon. "He won't lie to you.He said it's 500-year-old wild ginseng, he can't be wrong."
The medical skills of the Secret Essences Sect were unparalleled in the world. In their pharmacy,there was not only 500-year-old wild ginseng but also plenty of 1, 000-year-old ones.
Upon hearing Billy's words, Sharon and her family gasped in shock.
If it was true, the ginseng must be an invaluable treasure.
"Thank... thank you, sir!" After calming down her excitement, Sharon thanked him.
"Don't mention it, Mrs Knight. Let me know if you've eaten it, I'll ask them to bring more next time."Stout smiled back at her with ease.
The Fletcher couple was surprised by his generosity again.
"Harleen, you're looking real gorgeous, almost giving my sister a run for her beauty!" Stout said,following it up with an exaggerated expression as he glanced over at Harleen. "No wonder my browas all smiles and no hurry to head back west..."
"Stout, where are Casey and Judge?" Billy interrupted him sternly.
"Oh... they went out to take care of something. They told me to come find you by myself." Stoutreplied quickly after realizing his mistake.
"Uncle Mister, you should lose weight." Tasha chimed in with her big round eyes staring at Stout.
"Tasha, rude!" Harleen scolded before turning to Stout with an embarrassed expression. "Sorryabout that. Kids say the darndest things."
"Haha, it's okay. Tasha is right though, I do need to lose some weight," Stout chuckled beforeturning back to Tasha. "Are you Tasha? You're so sweet, let's go to buy some toys for you, okay?"
"Nope, Uncle Casey has bought me a looooot of toys, I haven't played with all of them!" Tasha saidas she shook her head.
"So how about we go play in the park and then grab some yummy food?" asked Stout.
"We were just heading there, come with us, Uncle Mister?" Tasha said like a little adult beforeadding in a serious tone, "But seriously though, no more junk food for you!"
"Tasha!" Harleen groaned at her daughter's bluntness.
"Haha, I will just watch Tasha eat," Stout said, picking up Tasha and placing her on his neck. "Let'sgo to the park!" he exclaimed as they walked out of the courtyard.
"Yay, let's go!" Tasha shouted excitedly while riding on Stout's neck.
"Who is he, honey?" Harleen asked Billy as they walked.
"He's a doctor and a friend I met two years ago," Billy replied with a smile.
"A doctor?" Harleen looked skeptical. Stout didn't look like a doctor at all.
"Yeah," Billy chuckled. "Don't let his appearance fool you, there isn't anyone in Ozin who can matchhis medical skills."
As one of the most talented disciples in Secret Essences Sect for hundreds of years, Stout'smedical skills were unmatched by any ordinary physician in this world.
