Chapter 482 Time (9)
One month after that, they had the ceremony back in their hometown. Despite Sarah's worries, everyone was treating her nicely, but Billy was getting punched on his sides… Again, there was no strength behind them, but all the guys were punching him. Sometimes they came three or four times to do that.
"It is tough to be so popular," Billy said.
"Joke around as much as you want, but you deserve at least this much," Drew said. "While I am proud of you for having three beautiful wives, you surely can understand that as a man, I can't forgive things like this. Do you want to kill us of jealously?"
"I suppose that is unavoidable," Billy said.
After he returned to his old home, Billy got an earful from his mother to the point that they were throbbing a bit still. It was a bit unfair that they were all being nice to Sarah and being harsh toward him, but again, Billy could shrug at that. In any case, that night, Billy met for the first time Sarah's relatives. They were quite ordinary, so Billy had never heard of them before.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDuring that last month, Sarah moved to Billy's house, but she decided to keep her distance until the ceremony. At first, nothing major happened, but Hector was a bit guarded of Sarah, even though she was a familiar face. Still, after just two weeks, he treated her better than he treated Billy. That was truly sad…
Billy thought that Sarah would return to be that woman who was hard to read after the ceremony, but that didn't happen. She stayed more true to herself… At least when they were at home. When she received visitors like her students, she showed her serious persona. Billy thought that it was fine since she probably wanted to be looked up like the reliable older sister.
One month after the ceremony, Billy noticed some signs of pregnancy in Sarah. That was fast… But it was only natural since they did it every day like rabbits in heat. Regardless, he confirmed that she was pregnant. Those last two months passed rather fast and anticlimactically, so Billy was rather surprised.
"Do you want to name the child?" Sarah asked
"... Maybe you should pick the name this time, I will pick the name of the others," Billy replied. "So, this kid is the one who is going to surpass me in terms of magic powers, huh."
"Are you scared of losing your position at the top?" Sarah asked. "Not scared… I would feel a bit pissed if some stranger managed to surpass me, but not my kids."
"I guess that is just like you," Sarah said.
The third kid was about to arrive… Come to think of it, Billy was already twenty-two, and Hector and Christina were already three. Time passed really fast, and Billy already was a full-fledged father… He was still lacking in many points, but he surpassed by a large margin his old self.
With the addition of one extra family member and another one that would arrive in a few months, things to be even more lively inside Billy's home. Since she didn't have to leave anymore, Sarah felt like she had to get rid of the weight on her shoulders, and she seemed more relaxed. Still, tried to show that cold facade now and then, but after showing her other side so many times, it was easy to make that crumble. His personal life made a lot of progress in these two months, but the other aspects of his life were quite stagnated.
"I suppose it can't be helped… until I learn the shadow clone technique, I won't be able to make progress in all areas of my life that easily," Billy thought.
On the other hand, Billy's business improved a bit. He got a few more underlings, and his underground garden was about to be complete. However, the spies didn't have anything out of place to report. The world was as peaceful as it could be.
"I don't like this…" Billy thought while reading all the recent reports.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe spies finally had reached other states that weren't just a few weeks away, so that felt weird. Billy gave them the job to inform him of possible threats faster than anything else, and yet… After a long sigh, Billy slapped his face a few times to change his mood.
"Let's just be happy for what I have now, whatever happens in the future, I will deal with," Billy muttered, and then he left his underground arena.
When Billy reached the garden, he found quite the scene. His wives were meditating and trying to master Destructive Aura, and as if that wasn't weird enough since they were together, Hector and Christina were also meditating… the skill was active and everything. Still, when Billy approached, he noticed that they had fallen asleep since that was boring.
"Well, to keep the skill active while they sleep, they still have quite the talent for their age…" Billy thought, and then suddenly, he felt an electric current on his back.
Billy frowned since he didn't feel any presence or mana attacking him, but it certainly felt that was the case… Billy checked the area, but he didn't feel any traces of mana. Maybe it had been his imagination. However, it also felt like an evil omen… In the end, Billy returned to the underground and waited there for some news.
As Billy had predicted, it didn't take long for him to receive messages, and much to his annoyance and surprise, they all came at the same time and from troublesome areas… The messages were exactly what Billy had expected, the titans had awakened again, and they were spawning monsters. In the south, East and North.
"Give me a break… I don't have time for this," Billy said. "Why do these motherfuckrs keep going all the time and don't give me a few years of peace?"
Billy could curse as much as he wanted, but nothing would change the fact that a new problem had arisen. So, instead of complaining, he decided to think of the options that he had. The titan in the east was the Earth titan, and the creature was like two states away from the barbarians. That was probably where Billy should hear…
