Kenji began introducing the men at the table one by one. All of them owned big companies and had a high net worth. Kenji then asked, "What would you like to start with, buddy?" "Anything works. Your call," Wilbur replied calmly. Kenji nodded with a smile. "Let's go with blackjack, then. It's an easy game. Are you alright with that, buddy?" "Of course! I like blackjack too." Kenji waved a hand, and two bodyguards brought four boxes over at once. They opened them and put them on the table. All the boxes were filled with cash. Kenji said, "Each of us has one million dollars. You can swipe your cards now." The three people took their credit cards out, tapping them on the payment terminal one of the ladies was holding. Wilbur took a card out as well, doing the same. The bodyguards distributed the cash, one million dollars per person. There were five people including Kenji, and the game began. The dealer took out a deck of cards, as well as a machine to ensure that the ca
"Sure, I don't mind," Wilbur answered. Kenji gestured with a wave of his hand, and someone came over with a promissory note. It was prepared well in advance, only needing the amount and loaner information to be filled in. Wilbur glanced at it and said, "The interest on this promissory note is different from what you mentioned, Mister Lilith. Is it actually within the interest rate limits set by the country?" "Well, of course. You should know that the actual interest is based on our verbal agreement," said Kenji while smiling. Wilbur nodded. "I understand." Kenji waved again. Two bodyguards brought over two million dollars and piled it in front of Wilbur. The gambling continued. However, Wilbur was on a streak of bad luck. He lost two million dollars in the span of two hours. He teared up and said, "Give me another two million dollars!" Kenji lit a cigarette and said slowly, "Buddy, we've only met briefly, and I'm lending you two million dollars based on the fact that
Wilbur slumped weakly on his chair and murmured, "So this is what a gambler is like." He did not use any of his abilities, engaging in the gambling session as an ordinary person. Wilbur strived to immerse himself in the role of a gambler. He experienced the feelings that came with gambling. The excitement of winning, the frustration of losing, and the frenzy that took over after losing a lot of money. The thrill kept him excited with the surging adrenaline in his body. The sensation was more intense than a roller coaster ride, thrilling him in a way that made him understand why people said gambling was addictive. It really was. He was in despair like a gambler who lost everything. Kenji laughed at that point. Wilbur had lost four million dollars. On top of that, he borrowed another four million dollars. In one evening, he lost a total of eight million dollars. Kenji recovered his losses from the morning and made several million dollars in profit in just one night. Wil
Wilbur chuckled and said, "Murder is already a capital offense, and organ trafficking after murder will only land you in even more trouble. Aren't you afraid at all?" "Afraid?" Kenji burst into laughter. It took him a while before he said again, "The Lilith clan holds power in Seechertown. Who do I need to fear? Buddy, you know nothing about this society." Wilbur frowned and asked, "Do you mean one of the three prominent families in Seechertown, as rumor has it?" "Seems like you know a little. That's right, I'm a member of the Lilith clan. Our clan's influence spans both politics and business. Tell me, what do I need to fear?" Kenji asked arrogantly. Wilbur asked, "Do you believe that the Lilith clan is above the law?" "I do. Beings like us exist beyond the constraints of the ordinary world. Buddy, you're still too young. You might know about the three prominent families, but you don't understand the terrifying power we hold." Kenji's face bore an expression of extreme enjoym
"We can't do that. We'll go with you." "This is an order. All of you, go back immediately." Elsa knew she would face severe punishment as the vice-captain, and that would be the more lenient outcome. However, she was not afraid. What concerned her more was not getting her subordinates in trouble. Her subordinates were young, and some were not married yet. She would never forgive herself if they lost their jobs because of her. Because of Elsa's determination and the pressure from their higher-ups, her subordinates reluctantly got out of the vehicle. They saluted Elsa before they left. Elsa took a deep breath and got out of the vehicle. She arrived at the entrance of the bar. The bar was closed at that hour. Elsa knocked on the door forcefully without hesitation. "Who's there?" The bar door opened slightly after a while, accompanied by an annoyed grumble. Dyed blonde hair could be seen through the door's gap. Elsa kicked the blonde guy to the ground. She then swiftly
His quick attacks left her with no time to react. The power dynamic between them had shifted in an instant. Elsa clutched her abdomen. She winced in pain as she squatted on the ground, struggling to catch her breath. Meanwhile, the man picked up her pistol. His voice was full of contempt as he asked, "Bitch, did you really think I'm that easy to deal with?" Kenji asked in a menacing tone, "What's going on, Rambo?" The man known as Rambo replied, "Boss, this woman barged in to ask about the gambling session. She seemed prepared, so I lured her here on purpose." Kenji glanced at Elsa, then shifted his gaze to Wilbur. He said slowly, "It seems you're both in cahoots." "You could put it that way," Wilbur replied casually. Kenji chuckled and said, "It seems you've planned this out. Are you trying to set me up?" "I am." Wilbur smiled. Kenji sneered and asked, "With just the two of you? It's quite a joke. So, what's the plan now?" "She's the vice-captain of the Criminal Inve
The two bodyguards and Rambo were on the ground. Their faces contorted in pain, and they were unable to get up. They could not even make a sound. Kenji was shocked. The three gamblers who had been part of the setup were also dumbfounded. Elsa was in disbelief, as though she had seen a ghost. Wilbur pulled her up and returned the pistol to her. He smiled and said, "I told you. Everything is under control." Elsa took the gun, still finding it hard to believe that Wilbur possessed such formidable combat prowess. The situation instantly changed. However, she had experienced her fair share of violence, so she quickly regained her composure. She pointed the pistol at everyone and ordered in a stern voice, "Hands up." The three gamblers were clearly terrified of Wilbur. They quickly raised their hands and positioned themselves against the wall. Only Kenji remained seated. He seemed unfazed. Wilbur smiled and asked, "What's the matter, Mister Lilith? It seems you're still a littl
Wilbur said softly, "Just answer the call and make sure to record it. Whoever is involved in this will face the consequences they deserve." Elsa stopped hesitating after seeing Wilbur's confidence. It was also her duty. She answered the call and started recording. "Captain," she said. A stern voice came from the phone, "Where are you?" "I'm at the Black Dragon Bar." "Get back here immediately. Do you realize what you're doing?" "Captain, I've discovered a gambling operation inside the Black Dragon Bar. There are several gamblers and a significant amount of cash. The criminals were apprehended, and I have the evidence," she reported. There was a brief silence on the other end of the line before the caller replied, "Stay put. I'm on my way." Elsa ended the call and looked at Wilbur. She said, "Our captain is on his way." However, Wilbur could see the worry in her expression. He knew that the incoming team might not be reinforcements. Wilbur contemplated and realized
Faye was clad in a beautiful wedding dress, hardly needing any blusher for how red her cheeks looked. Wilbur was also looking dapper in a fine tuxedo, and the bride and groom went around toasting to their friends one by one. Both their parents were overjoyed, knowing that their children had finally ended up with someone so wonderful. Everyone else was also brimming with smiles, drinking up a storm as the night went on. These people were all friends or subordinates of Wilbur and wanted nothing more than the best for him and Faye. There was no wedding emcee, and the ceremony was extremely simple, but the atmosphere was incomparable as everyone was nothing but smiles. The reception lasted all the way until late into the night, and even the newlyweds' parents got a little tipsy. The banquet ended at last, and the guests ushered Wilbur and Faye into their new bedroom. The newlyweds sat down facing each other, locking eyes. Faye lowered her head bashfully, and Wilbur looked
It was evening on Sealake Island when Wilbur returned. He stood on the long bridge, overwhelmed with emotion as he let out a hint of his aura. The island grew abuzz at once, and a series of familiar figures fought their way into Wilbur's line of sight. Wilbur smiled, stepping onto the island slowly. His smile grew as he came to the square, taking in the sight of Faye, Elsa, Faron, Shepard, and many others. Everyone else stared back at him, unable to hide the emotion on their faces. It had been so long since they had seen Wilbur, and there was no way for them to reach him. Words could not describe how much they had worried about and missed him. "I thought you were never coming back, Wilbur." Faye was the first to speak. Wilbur walked up to her, taking her into his arms. "I'm sorry. It'll never happen again. Everything's over now, and I'll never leave you again." Faye's heart soared as she broke out into overjoyed sobs. Everyone else was nothing but joyous as well. Fo
Bahamut, being a reincarnation of Kaiser himself, came slithering toward Wilbur. They both turned into their human forms, and a fierce battle broke out once more. Kaiser channeled his energy into Bahamut's body, giving Bahamut the upper hand over time. At last, Bahamut severely wounded Wilbur with a blow of his sword, causing Wilbur to fall from mid-air. "Hahaha!" Kaiser appeared suddenly then, laughing loudly. "Nice work, Bahamut." "Thank you, Master." Bahamut retreated behind Kaiser, looking at him coldly. He whipped out a dagger from his sleeves all of a sudden, driving it deep into Kaiser. Kaiser flipped around sharply, grabbing Bahamut's wrist and glowering at him. "Have you lost your mind?" Just then, the Dark Lord's voice sounded from Bahamut's throat. "You've stopped me many times now, Kaiser Fern! There's no way in hell I'll let you become the ultimate elite!" A furious Kaiser reached out to grab Bahamut's head, sucking him into his body. An explosion sounded throu
Just then, the Cold Lord muttered a spell. A series of snowy mountains descended from above, one of them striking Wilbur and Augheimer as the Cold Lord cackled. "Haha! Is that all you've got?" As his words rang through the air, the snowy mountain exploded with a loud boom into countless icy fragments to reveal Wilbur and Augheimer, standing tall and completely unaffected. "What?" "These imbeciles!" the Flame God shouted. The air around turned into a sea of flames at once, burning away relentlessly, but they vanished as soon as they came in contact with Wilbur and Augheimer's defense barriers. The Earth God shouted, "I'll settle this!" He muttered a spell, and the ground cracked open as Wilbur and Augheimer fell into a bottomless abyss. The Earth God smirked, and the crack began to close up. Yet just a few seconds later, the ground exploded as Wilbur and Augheimer flew back up. The Tornado God cast a spell to bring about a fierce gust of wind filled with countless razor-sh
The next second, Wilbur's Magic Dragon Blade made a gash in the air. The two men then wove through the gash, making their way to the lower dimensions from the upper dimensions and returning to Earth. The gash closed itself up, and a powerful wave of black miasma surged into the oceans from the heavens. It cleared up within a few minutes, and Earth was turned into a dark space. Several big fissures appeared in the heavens as the evil gods descended on Earth. The Blood God, the God of Destruction, the Cold Lord, the Flame God, the Earth God, the Tornado God, the God of Bloodlust, and the Snake God—all eight evil gods had descended upon Earth at the same time. Wilbur summoned the broken pieces of the Light Armor from the Fire Dragon Ring. The pieces radiated a white glow as they hovered in mid-air, and Wilbur quickly used his mind to put them together before wearing the Light Armor on his body. "Hahaha!" The Blood God laughed loudly. "I guess the universe dimensions aren't all
Hailey and Kayleen ducked out of the way before the pillars of light reached them, darting up to Sade at the last second as Hailey drove her sword into him at the same time Kayleen did the same with her spear. Hailey glowered at Sade. "You're the one who's really despicable here, Sade. Say goodbye to the world forever!" "Arghhhh!" Sade's body exploded in a flash of white light, disappearing out of sight. Hailey and Kayleen both got down on one knee. "At your service, Masters." Just then, Wilbur and Augheimer looked at the two ladies at the same time. Augheimer said, "At ease. You can both go back now, your work here is done." "Yes, Master." Hailey and Kayleen disappeared the next second. Just then, a fierce wind rolled over as a pillar of white light descended from the heavens as Odysseus appeared in front of the two men. "Wilbur Penn and Augheimer. I’ve finally found you. Tell me where the dimension guardians are, and hand them over!" A gleeful Odysseus reached out t
Sade threw his head back, laughing loudly. "No one has the right to replace me, no one! I'm the real dimensional guardian, the leader of the galaxy!" Just then, two figures appeared in the sky. They were Hailey and Kayleen, two of the other dimensional guardians. Hailey was holding a long sword as she scowled at Sade below her. "You went against the rules of the universe and changed its functions, Sade. And now you've killed Wilbur Penn, the cultivator who was supposed to replace you. For that, Kayleen and I are going to kill you today." Sade smirked at those words, not looking shocked at all. "I knew you two would never let me go for killing Wilbur. But he's already dead, and I still need to maintain order in the universe as a dimensional guardian. Even though you two may hate me, you can't kill me or you'd be going against the rules of the universe too, and have to be sentenced by Mister Richardson. Trust me, you won't end up in much better of a state than I'm in." Just then
Augheimer asked out of confusion, "What? To the upper dimension? All of a sudden?" Wilbur looked flustered, he replied, "There's no time to explain. Odysseus will be here in a while, and we won't be able to escape." Sade looked at Wilbur. He told Augheimer, "He's right. Believe him. Why would your close friend lie to you?" "That's right. He's a dimensional guardian, Sade. I begged Sade to go back in time here. Hurry up and come with me, Augheimer!" "Thanks, but if we're leaving, we should at least go to Buck Town and meet Felix one last time, right?" asked Augheimer. Wilbur looked at Augheimer in the eyes, there was a sense of familiarity that welled up all of a sudden. Wilbur instantly realized Augheimer had a secret in Buck Town, and perhaps it was very important to Augheimer. He helplessly nodded and replied, "Alright, we'll go to Buck Town first." Then, the three of them came to Buck Town through a transportation array. Augheimer grabbed Wilbur and ran. He said, "Run! F
"Damn it! Your second wish was supposed to be mine!" yelled Odysseus. Odysseus once captured a dimensional guardian's servant by chance, and he used him as leverage to obtain his final two wishes. His first wish was for Sade to guide him to the most powerful power of light spell. His second wish was for Sade to lead him to the Death Scepter. Odysseus mastered the power of two types of laws, the power of light and the power of death. He quickly grasped the intricacies of the power of death due to his unique talent. Odysseus wielded the might of both supreme spells with the Death Scepter and the most powerful power of light spell. Therefore, Odysseus gained immense confidence. His capabilities far surpassed most upper dimension cultivators, but he remained in the middle dimension. His desire was to once again capture a second dimensional guardian servant. Odysseus planned to acquire the Death Cloak by obtaining the servant's wish. Ultimately, he would combine the Death Cloak, D
