"What happened?"

Wilbur instantly seemed upset upon hearing that.

Industry competition was inevitable, but whoever targeted them made a huge mistake.

Faye frowned and said, "It was Nancy who told Chelsea about it. That's how we knew. Joy Corp hired people from a headhunting company to approach Nancy. They offered a high price to leak data from Willow Corp. They also offered her a lucrative deal to work undercover. The deal was to spread rumors within Willow Corp that they were on the brink of bankruptcy due to debt issues. They promised to acquire Willow Corp and make Nancy the CEO, among other things."

Wilbur fell into thought.

Such actions were illegal, but it was nothing new.

They wanted to get someone from the inside to work undercover and spread rumors. They were trying to cause panic from the inside and pressure them from the outside. The target would be easily persuaded to sell. Then, they could acquire the target company at a low price.

They chose Nancy because th

    "Are you sure, Boss?" Faye frowned. Wilbur asked, "What's the matter? Are there any issues?" "This will take a long time and cost a lot of money," she replied. He said in a low voice, "We don't need to rush, so just take your time. I will apply from headquarters if we don't have enough money. Joy Corp had the nerve to target Cape Consortium. I'll show them why we are so successful in the first place." "Alright. I'll make sure to win this battle since you gave the order," Faye said while smiling confidently. She could take on Pentagon Corp if needed because she had authorization from Wilbur. He stood up and looked at Chelsea, saying, "I believe you have more to discuss. I won't disturb you any further." With that, he left. Chelsea shook her head and said, "Wow, he left just like that." Faye looked at the door and smiled, saying, "Typical. He left just like that, leaving everything for us to manage. Look at how carefree he is." Chelsea noticed the look in Faye's eyes an

    Wilbur hurriedly extended his hand and greeted, "Nice to meet you, Mister Campbell." That person was the head of the Kardon Province, Orin Campbell. He was in his fifties, and still full of vigor despite his age. His position indicated a bright future ahead. Orin was very polite and quickly shook Wilbur's hand. "Mister Grayson couldn't stop praising you, which made me rather curious. So, I took the liberty of having him contact you. I hope you don't mind that." He was extremely humble as a high-ranking figure in the province. He could easily order people around wherever he went because of his position and had squads of special agents to protect him. People welcomed him wherever he went. His humble demeanor surprised Wilbur. 'When did I become so powerful that someone like Orin Campbell treats me with such politeness and humility?' Wilbur wondered. He was unaware, but Benjamin told Orin everything that happened. He praised Wilbur like he was a demigod. Orin would dismi

    Wilbur smiled. Faron held his lighter closer and helped Wilbur light his cigarette. "Thanks." Wilbur nodded in appreciation. Faron did not smoke. He put the cigarette pack away and smiled, saying, "Don't be a stranger with me, bro." "Mister Campbell, I'm flattered." Wilbur did not know whether to laugh or cry. Why did Faron have to be someone with this kind of personality? Logically, Faron should have taken after Orin. He should be ambitious and mature. Why was he behaving like a street punk? Faron did not seem to mind. He laughed and said, "Mister Grayson told me you're an absolute god, bro. I'll be your follower from now on. Feel free to order me around, but…" "What is it?" Wilbur asked. Faron said mysteriously, "You have to teach me your ways." "Teach you what?" "Whatever it is. Whatever combat skill you'd like to teach." Wilbur burst out laughing. He did not expect Faron to be interested in combat. He looked at Benjamin and said, "Mister Grayson, you're making

    Benjamin smiled and said, "No worries. I'll have someone drive him back." Wilbur was relieved to hear that. He said goodbye to Mister Grayson and returned home. It was rare that Faye was not at home. He thought she must be working on what they discussed earlier, so he went back to his room and fell asleep. The next morning, he felt super hungry when he woke up. He kept drinking with Faron, so he did not eat much the previous night. He was so hungry that he could barely stand it. Faye was not awake yet, so he drove to a restaurant and ordered a bunch of food. He was ready to eat to his heart's content. He received a phone call right after he ordered food. He answered the call. "Bro, where are you?" Wilbur was stunned. He could not believe it was Faron. "I'm having breakfast. What's going on?" "Wait for me, bro. I haven't had breakfast either, and I'm starving. Save a seat for me. I'll be right there." That was beyond his expectations. He shook his head and sent Far

    Faron was unaware of the situation, so he did not say anything. He pushed the buns toward Ethan. Wilbur sighed because Ethan was sobbing uncontrollably. He said, "Let's eat first and talk later." Ethan wiped his tears and nodded silently. Then, he started to eat because he was famished. A few customers cast them judgmental glances. A woman mumbled quietly, "What the hell? Why did he invite the beggar to eat?" Wilbur instantly got triggered. He glared at the woman and said, "This is my brother. He's not a beggar. You better watch your filthy mouth." The woman jolted in fear because of his cold gaze. She hurriedly turned around and kept quiet. Wilbur scoffed, and he continued to eat with Ethan. He was finally full after a while. Wilbur passed him a tissue and said, "Now, tell me what happened." Ethan sighed and started to tell his story. Ethan retired from the military and received over ten million dollars from Wilbur. He returned to his hometown, which was a small town

    Ethan was his brother on the battlefields. He was a tough man back then, fearless, and always on the front lines. Wilbur could not believe that a bully mistreated Ethan so badly. Nobody deserved to endure the murder of their parents, especially not a tough man like Ethan. "Ethan, this is all my fault. I'll avenge you," he said while clenching his jaw. Ethan teared up and said, "Boss, this is not your fault. I was too stupid." Wilbur could not help but sigh. His brothers were fearless soldiers on the battlefield. However, they lacked experience in life. It was a cutthroat society, and he was too naive. Wilbur wondered how the others were doing in life. Suddenly, a black security vehicle with the words 'Iron Shield' sprayed on its side pulled up in front of the restaurant. Seven large men in black security uniforms got out of the vehicle. The leader of the group was wearing sunglasses. He shouted, "Ethan Osborn?" Ethan instinctively looked up. The man with sunglasses

    Wilbur's tone was clearly accusatory. Faron smiled awkwardly and said, "Bro, sometimes it's just the way things are. When these people work together, it's difficult for the higher-ups to handle them." "This sounds more like they're avoiding trouble rather than handling it," he commented nonchalantly. Faron knew that Wilbur was harboring some resentment, so he said, "Don't worry, I'll fix this." Faron took his phone out and immediately made a call. Very soon, someone answered his call. "Faron, why are you calling me?" "Uncle Chandler, I'm at a restaurant on the West streets of Castlebury. Some security company wants to take me away. Can you come over?" Chandler Anderson was stunned upon hearing that. Who in the world had the audacity to take Faron away? They must have a death wish. Faron wanted him to show up in person. He could not stand by when Faron called him personally. Orin could trouble him if he did not solve the problem, and that was something he did not wan

    Aaron was instantly dumbfounded. What was going on? Why were the special agents seemingly targeting him instead? However, he did not dare to act recklessly in front of those people. Although he came from the countryside, he knew that the guy in the white shirt was someone powerful. He stepped forward frantically and tried to greet them properly. However, a special agent knocked him to the ground with the butt of his gun. "Move around recklessly again and you'll be killed on the spot." The special agent's icy voice made Aaron break out in cold sweat, and he quickly got up and backed off a few steps. Chandler, too, was a deputy minister. Although he was not as powerful as Orin Campbell, the security around him was not just for show. It was not easy for anyone to get close to him. "What's going on, Faron?" At this moment, Chandler came to Faron's side and asked with a smile on his face. Faron Campbell said in a low voice, "Ethan Osborn is my friend, and he came to appeal

    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
