"Dad, Uncle Stout!" As soon as they walked in the door, Tasha's voice rang out.
"Tasha, let Uncle Stout hug you and see if you've gained weight!" Stout bent down and lifted Tasha into the air, spinning her around, and Tasha laughed joyfully.
"Billy, you're back. Have a seat, the food will be ready soon." Sharon Mendoza emerged from the kitchen.
"Thanks, Mom!" Billy smiled. "Is Dad still at work? Hasn't he taken a break yet?"
"No," Sharon Mendoza shook her head. "He's a workaholic. He won't give himself a break until New Year's Eve."
"Why work so hard? Tell Dad to come home early and rest. There's never an end to work." Billy said with a faint smile.
"His stubborn temper, who can persuade him?" Sharon replied. "Don't worry about him, he's always been a workaholic."
Afterwards, she looked at Billy again and said, "Billy, could you call Judge? He just delivered several boxes of fruits and said he'd join us for lunch. I made chicken soup."
"Oh, really?" Billy smiled and sent a message to Judge.
"Mom, where's Felicia?" Harleen looked around the house but didn't see her.
"She just got a call and said a friend invited her out for dinner, so she left in a hurry." Sharon smiled and replied.
"That girl is always happy as long as there's a good meal. Someday, she'll worry about losing weight." Harleen chuckled.
"Haha!" Billy laughed.
Two minutes later, Judge walked in with a smile on his face.
"Boss!" First, he smiled at Billy and then greeted the others one after another.
"Uncle Judge, the apples you bought are delicious!" said Tasha.
"Then when you finish eating, I will bring you a few boxes." Judge touched Tasha's small head.
"Thank you, Uncle Judge!" Tasha said happily.
Half an hour later, a sumptuous lunch was served, and the family sat down to eat.
"Daddy, it's been so long since we've played. Can you and Uncle Stout and Judge take me to the park this afternoon?" Tasha asked while eating.
"Okay!" Billy gave Tasha food and continued, "Tasha, you eat quickly. After we finish lunch, we'll take you to the park."
"Really?" Tasha exclaimed happily and continued to eat eagerly.
"Slow down, Tasha, don't choke." Harleen said with a smile as she watched her daughter.
"Boss, something seems off in the Eastern District these past two days." Judge said to Billy as they continued chatting.
"What happened?" Billy raised a glass of red wine to his lips.
"Several cities have seen an increase in martial artists from the martial world." Judge replied.
"Hmm?" Billy furrowed his brows. "What are they doing?"
"For now, they haven't made any moves." Judge shook his head. "They've been quiet these past two days and haven't caused any trouble."
"There must be something happening." Billy nodded. "Tell our brothers to keep an eye on them and report any developments promptly."
