After all that had happened, it was almost dawn.
In addition to the unlucky Billy, for some reason, the carriage broke down on the way back home. Thus, he returned home in the morning. It could be said that he hadn't slept all night.
Even so, Billy didn't feel sleepy at all.
After experiencing the miraculous effects of training in the gym, Billy did not feel sleepy anymore. With two big dark circles under his eyes, he did not return to his room to rest when he got home. Instead, he went straight to his father's study room.
On the other side, Scott Wright was not surprised to hear that Billy, who had not returned the whole night, was finally home. This kid often did not return home at night.
Thus, it could be attributed to the fact that his son had gone out to indulge in lasciviousness again. However, as long as this kid had some talent, Scott didn't care about it because Billy wouldn't turn into a good-for-nothing from squandering.
However, Scott would never have thought that his son, who hadn't returned for the entire night, would actually discover something extraordinary outside. It would even affect their entire family and the matters of the guild of knights-errant.
At this moment, Scott had just woken up a bit. After having breakfast with his family, he brought a document and a cup of royal earl tea to the study.
Scott drank the morning tea and read the document with his monocle. It was very satisfying.
Hearing a knock on the door of the study room, Scott did not even lift his eyelids. He answered nonchalantly, "Come in!"
However, the person who came in was in a hurry. He was panting heavily as he ran towards Scott with rapid footsteps.
"Father! I have something very important to report to you. I hope that you can help me with some gold coins."
Billy was panting as he ran over, but he could not forget about the matter at the gym. However, he remembered that he did not have any extra money. Right now, Billy could only take out 1,000 gold coins. He could only get two cards at most. However, on the way back, Billy had thought of a more detailed plan to earn money, so he was in urgent need of funds.
Scott took off the monocle in his eye and looked at Billy.
Initially, when Scott saw that it was Billy, he was still a little dissatisfied. He frowned and wanted to teach Billy a good lesson.
'He did not come back for a night. He has already spent all his money, yet he still wants more. I'm afraid that this kid did not go to someplace and buy credit from others.'
With that thought, Scott was so angry that his eyes were staring straight at his beard.
However, this was his only son after all. Scott immediately calmed down and asked, "How much money do you need?"
If Billy didn't owe much, that would be for the best. If Billy owed too much, then it seemed that Scott would have to come out and discuss it with that person.
Seeing his father asking how much money he needed, Billy didn't think too much and immediately said, "About 30,000 gold coins. Oh no, 100,000 gold coins!"
Although the 1,000 gold coins that Billy had brought with him were more than enough for his daily life, it wasn't enough for the gym. He had only exercised for an hour, and he had only felt a miraculous strength. This time, he had to bring enough money. He wouldn't come out unless he exercised until the sky was black and the earth was dark!
Billy, who was only focused on exercising, directly forgot how exaggerated 100,000 gold coins were when he said that!
His father, Scott, was sitting calmly in the aristocratic chair. Scott was about to take a sip from the teacup next to the table, but when he heard those words, he spat the tea out. The drink splashed everywhere.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Scott coughed hurriedly, but when he heard his son asking him for 100,000 gold coins, he cursed angrily.
"You, prodigal son, 100,000 gold coins is your meal!"
"Cough, cough, cough."
In his desperation, Scott coughed even harder.
Billy was splashed with tea, and a tea leaf was left lying on his face. Billy wiped off the funny tea leaf and realized that his request for 100,000 gold coins was a bit exaggerated. But this was for the gym… for himself to become stronger. Once Billy told the truth, his father would understand, so he explained.
"Oh no, father, I'm serious about these 100,000 gold coins. I recently learned about a gym and tried it last night. Guess what, father? I actually broke through to the late-stage of the great swordsman!"
As he spoke, Billy recalled what had happened last night. It was such a magical night, and he could not help but feel a little excited.
When Scott heard that Billy had actually broken through to the late-stage of the great swordsman realm, he immediately stood up from his chair and jumped in front of his son. He looked around and saw that his son's expression did not seem to be fake at all. After being shocked, Scott muttered to himself, "Is there really such a thing in this world?"
"If this gym is really so amazing, then I want to know who opened it immediately!"
As the leader of the knights-errant's guild, it was incredible that a swordsman could suddenly advance from the early stage to the late stage. At the very least, Scott had never seen such a thing in his 50 years of life!
Moreover, Scott's shrewd experience immediately told him that if there really was such a gym and he allowed his knights-errant to train, it would give their guild a formidable reputation. The nobles in the Imperial City who asked him to do things for them would have to kneel and beg him!
If in the later stage, Scott also nurtured an elite troop, presumably, the king would also be wary of him. Wouldn't the status of the knights-errant's guild rise by leaps and bounds?
Therefore, Scott was no longer calm. With trembling hands, he pulled his son and asked excitedly, "Son, quickly tell me where this gym is now!"
Billy, who initially only wanted to take the money to return to the gym to train, was stunned. Why was his father more excited than him?
Of course, Billy thought too simply. Scott understood more than him just how important the gym was!
The older the ginger, the spicier it was!
So Billy answered blankly, "It's right in the center of the city. The one with a very special architectural style!"
Hearing this answer, Scott was so excited that he immediately abandoned his unfinished business, changed his clothes, and informed his subordinates to call for a carriage. Then, he headed to the gym.
This action was exactly the same as Billy's before!
Thus, in the huge study room, only Billy was left in a mess.
"Father, why are you not as calm as I am..."
