        result.SendResponse("Hello User!");
    }
}

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour

Hi you can use 2 way to do it. Invoke(string functionaname, float time) or corroutines. You can use and Invoke("Functionname", 2f); to put a delay to that function execute after 2 seconds of get a message from the user

pd: Why negative vote? my answer was right.
