The next morning.
Dragon Tiger Mountain.
In a Taoist temple.
Lionel Yeager, Lily Tisdale, Bardon Bard, Prajna Bates, and Pill Levin were having breakfast with Derick Winslet.
Master Logan Trevino had already returned to the Forest, saying he would find a way to help Lionel.
Derick Winslet said, "Mullen, after breakfast, your Master will send you back to River City."
Lionel Yeager waved his hand and said, "Master, there’s no need for such trouble, we can go back on our own."
"Mullen, now that you’ve just recovered from your injuries and can’t use your True qi and Energy,
I’m worried that your enemies will take the opportunity to cause you trouble.
So, let your Master take you for a part of the way."
Derick Winslet raised his hand and said, "That settles it, don’t refuse."
"Alright..."
Lionel Yeager nodded, no longer declining Derick Winslet’s kindness.
After breakfast.
Derick Winslet took Lionel and the others away from Dragon Tiger Mountain and boarded a Flight to New York...
Elsewhere.
River City.
No. 8 Divine River Garden Villa.
In the restaurant.
Julia Stewart, Nancy Maddox, Julie Stewart, Olena Sean, Lin Qianyi, Gina Stern, and Elinda were having breakfast.
However, everyone’s mood was somber, and they were not in high spirits.
These days, everyone had been staying here, waiting for Lionel to come back.
Nancy Maddox said with a worried face, "It’s been more than half a month, why hasn’t Big Brother Lionel come back yet?"
Julie Stewart looked at Julia Stewart and asked, "Qing Mei, did you contact the Dragon Commander yesterday? What did he say?"
The other woman also turned their gazes towards Julia Stewart.
Julia Stewart said, "I did contact the Dragon Commander yesterday, and he said that Lionel’s injuries have almost healed and that we should not worry."
"Really?!"
Julie Stewart’s eyes were filled with surprise, "Lionel’s injuries are truly healed?"
Julia Stewart said, "That’s what the Dragon Commander said."
Lin Qianyi also spoke, "I have contacted my grandfather as well, and indeed he said the same."
"That’s really great!"
Olena Sean was very excited, "Mullen’s injuries are finally healed!"
Gina Stern frowned slightly and said, "If Mullen’s injuries are healed, then why hasn’t he come back?"
Elinda spoke with a worried face, "Lionel hasn’t run into some trouble, has he?"
Upon hearing this.
A look of concern appeared on the faces of the other women.
Indeed, if Lionel’s injuries have healed, why hasn’t he returned?
Julia Stewart spoke up, "Sisters, don’t worry too much. Since the Dragon Commander said that Lionel is fine, there must be no problem.
We all have things to do, so let’s get back to our own matters.
Once Lionel returns, I will have her call you."
"No way, I have to wait for Lionel to come back, I won’t be at ease until I see him with my own eyes!"
"That’s right, I won’t be at ease for a day until I see Mullen!"
"Qing Mei, we can deal with our matters later, now the most important thing is Mullen!"
The women spoke up one by one, all unwilling to leave.
Julia Stewart was helpless.
She knew the women’s feelings for Lionel were profound.
It was simply impossible to ask them to leave without seeing Lionel firsthand.
And she felt the same.
These days she had not been able to work normally, so she had simply handed over the company’s affairs to Janice Swan, Sawyer Lee, and Boris Cahill to handle.
Julia Stewart sighed and said, "Alright, then we’ll all wait together for Lionel to return."
After breakfast.
The women helped Julia Stewart wash the dishes, and then they chatted in the living room.
Close to noon.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a lock being opened from outside the door.
All of the women turned their heads in unison to look towards the entrance.
The moment the door opened!
All the women were stunned!
Everyone stared intently at the familiar figure in the doorway, struck speechless!
Indeed, it was Lionel who opened the door.
Derick Winslet, Lily Tisdale, Prajna Bates, Bardon Bard, and Pill Levin stood behind.
Looking at the familiar and stunning faces in front of him.
"Thank you, Old Heavenly Master!"
