"Mr Shelton, we came empty-handed today and didn't prepare any gifts. I hope you won't take offense." Cole Wilson said, smiling at Alger Shelton.
"If I recall correctly, the Shelton family has industries related to military manufacturing, right?" he continued.
"Please have someone contact the procurement department of the War Department. The Shelton family will officially become a high-quality supplier for the War Department starting from next month!"
"What?!" Alger exclaimed in surprise, then quickly bowed to Cole. "Thank you, General Wilson!"
As he spoke, he felt a surge of joy. This was something the Shelton family had been dreaming of for years. And they had tried countless methods to achieve it, and today, it had come true so easily. Alger Shelton was well aware of what this meant for his family. As long as they maintained product quality, the Shelton family was on the path to becoming a top-tier family.
"You're welcome, Mr Shelton. When Azure Dragon and your daughter have their wedding banquet, let me know, and I'll come to celebrate with you."
"Of course!" Alger replied loudly. "Your presence will be the greatest honor for the Shelton family." Afterwards, he turned to Billy and said, "Thank you, Commander Gardner."
He knew that General Wilson was doing this due to his respect for the King of the West. Otherwise, the Shelton family wouldn't have qualified to enter General Wilson's sight.
"You're welcome, Mr Shelton." Billy replied with a slight smile and waved his hand. "Today, we have troubled you. We'll take our leave. Please inform Azure Dragon that he has ten days of leave to visit his family, and he should report to the Southern Territory after ten days."
"I see." Alger nodded and bowed to the dignitaries again. "Thank you once again, esteemed guests. Please take care."
Within five minutes, Billy and his team arrived at the entrance of the estate.
"General Wilson, thank you very much!" Billy said to Cole Wilson.
"You're welcome, Commander Gardner. This is noting worth mentioning."
After a brief pause, Cole Wilson said, "Lately, some of the smaller neighboring nations around the Southern Territory have been acting up, likely influenced by forces from the west. Once Azure Dragon takes his position, make sure he stays vigilant."
"Understood!" Billy nodded. He had also heard about this matter, but due to his position, he couldn't get directly involved. However, now that Azure Dragon was taking over, he couldn't afford to ignore it.
After exchanging a few more words with Bob Stokes and the others, Cole turned to leave.
"Boss, are you going back to Ozin now?" Bob Stokes asked Billy. "I'll come to your place for a visit. Otherwise, when you leave, I'll have no one to talk to!"
"Don't you have work to do? You've only been in office for a few days, and I'm sure you have a lot to handle."
"I do have a lot on my plate, but it can't all be finished in a day. Let's go. I'll come with you for a while." Bob Stokes said before getting into their car.
"You never take work seriously!" Billy laughed and joined him in the car.
Just as they got into the car, Night Orchid's phone rang.
"Brigham Bush, what's up?" she answered the call.
"Governor Night Orchid, someone has attacked the SHADOW base. They are highly skilled and have already injured many of our brothers." Brigham Bush's voice sounded weak.
"Who are they?!"
"They didn't say, only that they wanted to find you and Commander." Brigham replied.
"Tell our brothers to stand down and not take any further action. We'll be back shortly!" Night Orchid said before hanging up.
"What's going on?" Billy asked.
"Boss, someone has attacked the SHADOW base and injured many of our brothers!" Night Orchid replied.
