The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 522 Is She Really Fond of You?

"Boss, do you think the Greenwood clan and the Harding clan will just let this matter go? Should we have someone keep an eye on them?" After the two had left, Night Orchid asked Billy.

"Don't worry too much. Have our brothers keep an eye on them just in case." Billy nodded.

"Got it." Night Orchid replied.

"Honey, how is Ms Dalen in terms of her injury? Do you want Stout to go check on her condition?" Billy asked Harleen.

"No need. She just has some minor external injuries. She has already gone to the hospital for treatment, and she'll be fine in a few days." Harleen said. After a brief pause, she smiled at Night Orchid and said, "Orchid, are you busy? I was wondering if you could show me around the city."

"Sure!" Night Orchid smiled and agreed.

"Thank you, Orchid!" Harleen's face lit up with joy and she turned to Billy. "Honey, you and Stout can go about your business. Orchid and I are going to chat!"

"Sure," Billy smiled and led Stout out of the room.

"Boss, Mrs Knight probably wants Orchid to help her get to know the city, right?" As they reached the door, Stout had an understanding look on his face.

"What do you think?" Billy glanced at him.

If even Stout could see what was happening, how could Billy not know?

Harleen took the initiative to chat with Night Orchid, not only to strengthen her relationship with her but also, most likely, to inquire about Ivy Chandler. Harleen hadn't asked Billy about this before, but he could sense that she had been thinking about it.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"I'm pretty sure Mrs Knight wants to get some information about my sister from Night Orchid!" Stout rattled on, "Boss, do you think she might let something slip?"

Billy gave him a sharp look, "I think you're just itching for trouble. What's there to let slip between me and your sister?"

"Well..." Stout scratched his head, "I guess you're right, there's really nothing to hide."

"But, even if there's nothing, I have a feeling Mrs Knight might not be entirely at ease. Earlier, when Bob mentioned that only my sister could compare to her, I noticed she had an unnatural expression. Do you think she might ask you to come clean tonight?"

Without waiting for Billy's response, he added, "Boss, if things get too tough, you could just mention to Mrs Knight that you want to bring my sister into the picture and see how she reacts. What if she doesn't mind, after all?"

Before he could finish, Billy gave him a slap on the back of the head.

"Get out of here and start training immediately. You have half a month. If you don't break through to the War Emperor level, you'll go into seclusion in the mountain!" Billy warned.

"I won't go!" Stout winced, and quickly ran towards the training ground. While he was running, he added, "Boss, dreams are important, and what if it does come true?"

As he spoke, he stumbled and fell to the ground, coming into close contact with it, wincing in pain.

Harleen and Night Orchid chatted like old friends who hadn't seen each other in years. They were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't leave the conference hall until it was time for dinner. From their expressions, it was clear that they had become the best of friends in no time.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Billy and Harleen checked into a five-star hotel near the company.

"Honey, I think I'll head back to Ozin tomorrow." Harleen said as they got ready for bed. She rested her head on Billy's arm.

"So soon? Won't you stay here for a few days?" Billy stroked her hair.

"No," Harleen shook her head slightly. "There's a lot of work

waiting for me back at the company, and I have an important meeting to attend the day after tomorrow." After speaking, she looked at Billy and said, "Honey, you don't need to worry about me. You have your own business in the capital, right?"

"Indeed, there are some things I need to take care of before I can leave," Billy nodded. He didn't take the so-called Ruthless Lordling seriously, but he didn't want to leave such a time bomb in the capital. Besides, he wanted to handle the affairs of the other two major clans, lest they cause any trouble in the future.

"Alright," Harleen agreed. "Don't worry about me, I can manage on my own."

"Okay," Billy said, then kissed her on the forehead. "Wife, what did you and Night Orchid talk about for so long?"

"We discussed topics that you wouldn't find interesting." Harleen replied with a smile. After a slight

pause, she looked up at Billy and asked, "Are you worried that Orchid might say something she shouldn't?"

"Are you trying to trap me with your questions?" Billy chuckled. "What could she possibly say?"

"Are you that confident?" Harleen looked at Billy with a meaningful expression.

"Honey, is Stout's sister excellent in every aspect? Tell me about her." Harleen asked.

"Uh...," Billy hesitated for a moment. "Why do you suddenly want to know about her?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of her." Harleen smiled again. "Is there anything you can't tell me?"

"There's nothing I can't share," Billy responded with a smile. "What aspect would you like to hear about?"

"Anything," Harleen smiled. "I just want to get a simple understanding of who she is. Maybe you can start with how you two met?"

"Alright," Billy nodded and began to explain.

"She's indeed impressive!" After about ten minutes, when Billy finished, Harleen couldn't help but praise. After a slight pause, she abruptly asked, "Does she have feelings for you?"

Billy choked a bit. "Sweetheart, you're overthinking it. My relationship with her is just like with Night Orchid and Frostblade, nothing special."

"I don't believe that." Harleen said, her face showing disbelief.

"Maybe you haven't noticed, but whenever I'm around, your friends seem a bit uneasy when talking about her." She added.

"You're too sensitive, dear." Billy replied.

"Honey, if there's an opportunity, can you introduce me to her?" Harleen asked.

"Sure," Billy agreed.

"You promise, you can't back out!" Harleen smiled and didn't press the matter further. "Honey, can you tell me more about the Ether Mountain?"

"Of course," Billy nodded slightly. Some things needed to be shared with Harleen.
