A few minutes later, the two of them passed through the back door of the mansion and arrived in front of a cave. There were no guards at the entrance, most likely they had all gone to the front yard.
Billy glanced around and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the ground. His clothes were tattered, his hair and beard unkempt, and his eyes hollow and lifeless. He seemed incredibly weak.
The man was none other than Josh Frazier, the former head of the Frazier Clan. But now, he looked nothing like a clan head, more like a beggar by the roadside. It was heartbreaking to see what he had been reduced to, all because of the cruelty of Estelle Stuart.
"Dad!" Violet Frazier rushed over.
"Violet?" Upon hearing his daughter's voice, Josh Frazier's hollow eyes showed a glimmer of light. Father and daughter had relied on each other for support to survive until today. Otherwise, they might have chosen to end their lives long ago.
"Dad..." Violet Frazier came over, tears streaming down her face, and helped Josh Frazier sit on a large rock.
"Violet... Why are you here today? It's not time yet, is it?" Josh Frazier struggled to speak. After a brief pause, he noticed Billy and asked, "Violet, who is he?"
"Dad, he is..." Violet Frazier took a deep breath and began to explain.
But before she could finish her sentence, Billy walked up to Josh Frazier, knelt down, and tears welled up in his eyes. "Uncle Josh, it's all because of me that you ended up like this. I arrived too late, I'm sorry."
After saying this, he kowtowed to Josh Frazier three times.
"Who... Who are you?" Josh Frazier was slightly stunned.
"Dad, he's Casper Stuart." Violet Frazier choked on her words.
"What?" Josh exclaimed in disbelief. After a momentary pause, he shook his head vigorously. "No... It's impossible. Young Master was killed five years ago. He can't be him."
"Uncle Josh, I am Casper Gardner Stuart. I was rescued and brought back to life five years ago." Billy replied after taking a deep breath.
"Are you young master?" Josh Frazier's eyes lit up, and he trembled all over. "Master Casper, please get up quickly."
He struggled to stand up from the rock and was about to kneel down and pay his respects to Billy.
"Uncle Josh, you can't!" Billy stood up and supported Josh Frazier's body.
"Young Master... Why are you here?" Josh Frazier asked in a trembling voice.
"Let's leave here first. We can talk as we go." Billy responded.
A moment later, the three of them arrived at a pavilion in the courtyard and sat down. Billy explained the situation to Josh Frazier.
"I see," Josh Frazier finally understood after hearing Billy's words. At the same time, he also learned of Billy's identity as Commander Gardner, which filled him with shock and awe.
"Like father, like son." Josh exclaimed inwardly.
Just then, footsteps echoed, and Stout briskly approached.
