Chapter 309 Six-Month Deadline

"Really?" Billy smiled faintly and rose to greet his guest at the door.

"Haha, King of the West, I hope I'm not intruding." Came the hearty voice of Cole Wilson as he approached briskly.

"General Wilson, your visit is most welcome." Billy replied with a smile. "Please have a seat."

"General Wilson, I'm delighted to see you here." Night Orchid greeted with a bow and a smile.

"Night Orchid, you've done quite well," General Wilson remarked. "In such a short time, you've risen in status."

"Thank you for your praise, General Wilson." Night Orchid replied with another smile.

"Good job!" Cole Wilson said with a smile as he glanced at Billy. "With this incident, Oriana should behave more cautiously. Even if you hadn't acted, I would have taken care of them."

"Your position is too sensitive for such actions." Billy said with a smile.

As the supreme commander of the Glavale War Department, killing a foreign diplomatic delegation would undoubtedly lead to international repercussions.

"No more talk about this," Cole Wilson waved his hand. "Is everything settled with the Frazier family, or do you need any assistance from me?"

"Thank you for your concern. It's mostly settled."

"That's good," General Wilson nodded. "I came here today with some good news for you."

"I wonder what you're referring to." Billy replied, already having a guess in mind.

"It's almost certain at the higher levels. You'll be taking my position." General Wilson said with a smile. "When can you take up the position? I can't wait to hand over the reins to you."

"Thank you, General Wilson," Billy replied with a smile. "But it might take a bit more time."

"Are you hesitant?" General Wilson asked. "If it's the affairs of the other three regions that concern you, I-"

"You're worrying too much, General Wilson." Billy interrupted. "It's mainly some personal matters that I need to attend to. Please give me another six months or so, and it should be fine."

For Billy, taking up the position of Supreme Commander was a path he had to follow to fulfill that old man's expectations. He wouldn't decline it. However, at the moment, it wasn't the ideal timing. He had other matters to address.

The role of Supreme Commander came with both power and responsibility. Once he assumed that role, there would be a lot more on his plate, and he wouldn't have the same freedom to pursue personal matters.

"Alright," General Wilson agreed. "We'll stick to that. Half a year from now, I'll be waiting for you in the capital."

"Thank you, General Wilson." Billy expressed his gratitude.

"Actually, I should thank you. Thank you for shouldering this heavy burden for me." After a brief pause, General Wilson continued, "By the way, I hope you understand the handling of the Leonard family's matter in the Southern Region. It might not have been entirely fair to you, but..."

"General Wilson, it's not a big deal," Billy interrupted. "It was a minor issue, and I understand the complexities involved. Let's not dwell on it."

Billy knew that there were factions behind the scenes, and even Donald couldn't act recklessly. Resolving the matter fundamentally was the key; otherwise, superficial actions would be pointless.

"Thank you for your understanding, Gardner." General Wilson said with a nod.

"No need to mention it." Billy replied with a smile.

After the conversation, General Wilson took his leave.

The next morning, Billy and Night Orchid were discussing matters in the meeting hall when Stout entered.

"You're back so soon?" Billy smiled. "Are Uncle Josh and Violet's injuries all right?"
