Time flew by quickly.
In a blink of an eye, one week had passed.
During this week,
Lionel Yeager stayed in River City, spending quality time with Julia Stewart and also solidified his own cultivation.
One week later, in the morning.
Divine River Garden.
No. 8 Villa.
Lionel Yeager, Julia Stewart, Lily Tisdale, Bardon Bard, and Prajna Bates were having breakfast.
Julia Stewart teased, "Lionel, I really didn’t expect you to stay in River City this long. You’re making progress!"
Lionel gave a dry laugh and said, "Qing Mei, I’m going to have to leave River City again soon to take care of some business."
"What?! What kind of business? It’s not dangerous, is it?!" Julia Stewart immediately tensed up.
She was genuinely frightened by Lionel’s past endeavors.
Lionel smiled and said, "Don’t worry, there won’t be any trouble. I’m just going to visit a few old friends.
Once I’m done, I’ll come right back."
"Really, there won’t be any trouble?"
Julia Stewart was still somewhat disbelieving.
Lionel nodded and said, "Really."
"Alright then."
Julia Stewart puffed out her cheeks and said, "No matter where you go or what you do, remember, don’t just turn off your mobile phone on a whim."
"Alright, alright, alright."
Lionel nodded repeatedly.
"By the way, Sister Stewart, why hasn’t Mrs. Stern come back yet?"
Prajna Bates asked.
"Yeah, why hasn’t Fifth Senior Sister returned?"
Lionel also asked.
"Mrs. Stern is still filming in Di Bai. She probably won’t be back until the end of the year."
Julia Stewart replied, then added, "Considering the time, it seems like New Year is approaching.
When that time comes, we should invite all our relatives and friends to have a good get-together."
"No problem!"
Lionel agreed immediately.
At this moment,
a deep voice came from outside.
"Is Mr. Yeager at home?"
Hearing this voice,
Lily Tisdale, Bardon Bard, and Prajna Bates all looked towards Lionel.
Lionel also slightly narrowed his eyes.
They all knew who had arrived.
"Lionel, who’s calling you?"
Julia Stewart asked, puzzled.
Lionel replied, "A friend."
Soon, a foreign man with long strides came in.
The man was dressed in a coffee-colored suit, had dark skin, chestnut curled hair, a thick beard, stood over two meters tall, and had a robust physique.
This man was none other than the "King of Destruction," Mark Tum.
"Good morning, Mr. Yeager!"
The King of Destruction greeted him with a hearty smile as he approached.
"Good morning!"
Lionel also stood up to greet him and embraced the King of Destruction.
"Lionel, who is this?"
Julia Stewart curiously looked at the King of Destruction.
Now that she was also a cultivator, she naturally sensed that this man was no ordinary individual.
Lionel said with a smile, "Qing Mei, this is a friend of mine, named Mark Tum."
The King of Destruction winked at Lionel and asked with a smile, "Is this young lady your little sister?"
"Hello Mr. Mark Tum, I am Lionel’s fiancée, Julia Stewart."
Julia Stewart extended her hand to the King of Destruction with ease and grace.
The King of Destruction shook hands with Julia Stewart and generously complimented her, "Miss Stewart is truly beautiful, even more so than those big stars and world-famous models!"
"Mr. Mark Tum, thank you for your compliment."
Julia Stewart had interacted with quite a few foreigners and naturally knew they tended to be very direct in their speech.
The King of Destruction chuckled, then turned to Lionel and asked, "Mr. Yeager, shall we depart now?"
"Let’s go!"
Lionel nodded his head.
"I’ll see you off!" said Julia Stewart.
Then, Lionel and his group left the villa and took a car straight to the airport.
On the way to the airport,
Julia Stewart asked, "Mr. Mark Tum, may I ask what business you have with Lionel?"
The King of Destruction was about to answer.
Lionel spoke up first and said, "Qing Mei, didn’t I tell you? I’m going to visit a few old friends with Mr. Mark Tum."
What he said wasn’t wrong after all, as he was going to challenge the remaining Divine Kings and would also see other Divine Kings, which could be considered as visiting friends.
