Chapter 12

Wilbur said, "It's time to give them their big present. You know what to do."

"Understood, Boss. They're going to pay for sure," Faye replied.

Wilbur smiled. "Go get some rest. Don't worry about me tomorrow. I'll go on my own."

"Alright, Boss."

Wilbur got up and returned to his room.

Faye stared at his retreating figure and let out a sigh.

If she had been the one to be mistreated and humiliated like this, she would be sure to return it tenfold. Her boss was far too nice. However, she was not. She had never gone soft on her enemies before.

The next day.

Wilbur woke up at around ten in the morning. He walked out of the house and then drove off to Southlake Resort Island.

It was time for him to get some closure.

At the same time, an SUV with a military badge on it stopped in front of house number one.

A tall and broad-shouldered middle-aged man stepped out of the car.

He was dressed in regular clothes, but it was not hard to tell from his aura that he was someone from the army.

The man rang the doorbell. Susie opened the door and uttered cheerfully, "Dad! You're finally home!"

"Yes. Where's your grandpa?" The man asked.

Susie frowned. "He's been locking himself in his room all day and acting all mysterious. That scammer's really gotten to him."

"How's his health?" The man asked again.

Susie said at once, "Grandpa took the medicine that the Seechertown medical team brought over, and he's doing much better now. He just had a couple of tests done on him, and all the results were positive."

"That's great. Let me teach that liar a lesson. No one's taking advantage of the Grayson family name," the man said coldly.

Susie nodded at once. "Yes, you've got to teach him a lesson, or someone else might think they can get close to Grandpa in the future."

Just then, the man turned and said to the driver, "Call up that scammer and tell him I'd like to meet with him."

"Alright." The driver made the call at once. A while later, he returned and said carefully, "He said that he's at a wedding over at Southlake Resort Island and that you should go look for him yourself if you want to see him."

"That b*stard's got some nerves." The man's expression hardened at once. "How dare he act all high and mighty to me! We're going to Southlake Resort Island right now!"

Gordon got into the car, and the driver sped off at once.

Susie let out a long breath. "You lying b*stard, you're going to get it. Just you wait."

With that said, she went back inside and walked to her grandfather's room. She paused briefly before calling out, "Grandpa, it's time to go for your workout. You haven't come out of your room at all today."

The room was completely silent, so Susie could only call out over and over again.

Despite her grandfather's condition getting better, he would still need to work out.

At last, Benjamin opened the door half an hour later and glared at Susie irritably. "Are you done? Don't I have even a bit of freedom?"

"It's for your own good, Grandpa. Don't be so stubborn," Susie said.

Benjamin sneered coldly. "I know what's going on with my body. You can cut the nagging. Are you doing all this to try to piss me off?"

"How could you say that, Grandpa? If it hadn't been for the Seechertown medical team's care and ours, your condition wouldn't have gotten better," Susie said aggrievedly.

Benjamin scoffed, "Do you really think that you did all the work."

Susie was angered as well. "Didn't we? You should know that your body's at its limit, and you're relying on the medicine to keep you alive. If it hadn't been for the medicine and me dropping out of med school to take care of you, would you still be around? Doesn't any of that matter to you?"

Susie burst into tears as she said those words.

She felt as if her grandfather was really losing his mind. He was not grateful for her care toward him all those years in the slightest, yet that scammer had him dancing to the scammer's tune with just a few words, keeping him cooped up in his room all day doing some cultivation nonsense. Her sadness only grew as she thought more about it, sobbing harder by the second.

Benjamin sighed at the sight of his granddaughter like this. He went into his room, took out the medicine from his shoe cabinet, and showed it to her.

Throwing the medicine in front of Susie, Benjamin said, "Take a look. This is what your medicine's done to me."

Susie wiped her tears away in a daze, staring blankly at her grandfather.

Benjamin did not say a word and stood right there. Susie picked up the box slowly and opened it.

The vials of medicine were neatly lined up, completely untouched.

"Grandpa, what's going on here?" Susie asked in disbelief.

Benjamin sighed. "I've gotten sick of all that medicine. I've not touched any of these."

Susie was in a state of shock. "B-But what about your health?"

Benjamin looked at Susie and frowned. "Isn't it obvious? What did my reports say?"

Susie stuttered, "Th-they said that your vital signs were all t-taking a turn for the b-better, and that even your fibrotic lungs were getting better too."

"Well, do you still think that it was the medicine that did all that?" Benjamin asked.

The medicine Susie was holding dropped to the ground with a thud. Susie's mouth was wide open in disbelief.

Benjamin shook his head. "You young people think you're so smart and know everything. Well, I'm going to tell you that miracles do exist. In fact, Dasha is full of prodigies like Wilbur Penn. When are you going to take a step back and stop seeing the world with such prejudice?"

Susie was taken aback. After some time, she finally spoke up, "Grandpa, this can't be. The cultivation method that guy taught you actually made your health better?"

"What do you think?" Benjamin replied.

Susie was thoroughly speechless. She could not believe that it was real.

Nevertheless, it was true that her grandfather had not taken any of the medicine but still got better miraculously. That was a fact, and there was no way for her to disprove it.

At that moment, she faced the biggest dilemma in her life.

A while later, she raised her head and said weakly, "Grandpa, Dad came back."

"What? What's he doing here instead of watching over his post?" Benjamin said, obviously displeased.

Susie did not dare to speak, but she could not hide the truth either. She said meekly, "He's gone to teach Wilbur Penn a lesson."

Benjamin immediately bellowed furiously, "What?! Who told you to do that?"

Susie fell into a panic right away. "Grandpa, let me explain. I thought that Wilbur was a scammer who tried to use our family name for personal gain. That's why I told Dad to come back."

Benjamin fumed, "You idiots! Get your father back here! You two are going to apologize to Wilbur, and don't come back until he forgives you! The Grayson household has no place for people like you two!"

As he spoke, Benjamin was so aggravated that he launched into a fit of coughs.

Susie was scared witless and rushed over to pat his back. "I'll go right now, Grandpa. Please don't be angry."

"Just go already!" Benjamin shouted.

Susie did not dare to say anything. She called out to the maids to watch over her grandfather before driving off to Southlake Resort Island herself.

She started calling her father right away in the car, but none of her calls went through.

    Over at Southlake Resort Island. It was a privately-owned vacation spot located west of Seechertown and was around a thousand acres wide. Its land was surrounded by a pristine natural lake with an island in the middle. It had over ten billion dollars invested into the construction of five-star hotels and various entertainment facilities. It even had a variety of exotic plants transplanted there, making the island one of Seechertown's most famous vacation sites. On that very day, Blake had the entire resort island reserved for only those who were invited. The resort was transformed into a large event space after a few days of decorating. There were tables and chairs adorned with fresh flowers as well as all kinds of snacks and champagne. Wilbur parked outside Southlake and walked over to the island. Right at its front was the guests' check-in table as well as the gift collection counter. Wilbur walked up to the table and tossed the five hundred dollars that he had prepared o

    Wilbur shook his head. "Not really." "Why have you been getting close to my father?" Gordon asked. Right at that moment, a voice rang throughout the banquet hall. "General Gordon Grayson of the Kardon Province army has arrived." Those words brought about an explosion of applause for quite a while. Someone of that level of power was present at Blake and Yvonne's wedding. It made all the guests look at both Gordon and Wilbur with increased respect. Gordon frowned in disgust. Wilbur said calmly, "Not everyone is out to use your family name. You're of no use to me." Gordon's face darkened. "Well, what are you trying to obtain by getting close to my father on purpose and trying to trick him with your cultivation crap? What’s your catch? I've dealt with many people like you." Wilbur took a sip of champagne and replied, "Is that so? Would you believe me if I said that I was just helping him live a few more years on account of what he has done for the country?" "Of course n

    Yvonne and Blake were struck dumb. Was the Wilbur Penn that Faye mentioned the one they thought in their mind? Just then, Wilbur sighed softly. He was not planning to reveal his identity, but he understood where Faye was coming from. She only wanted to avenge him. Now that it had come to this, all he could do was take the stage. Wilbur looked at Gordon and said, "Excuse me for a moment. I'll be right back." Gordon stared at Wilbur in disbelief. Was he really the owner of Cape Consortium? If that was the case, he truly was someone extraordinary. Wilbur walked up to the stage slowly. When Blake and Yvonne confirmed that it was really him, they both had an indescribable look on their faces. Faye stepped to the side silently as Wilbur took the mic. He turned to look at Blake and Yvonne. The couple trembled violently with terror in their eyes. If Wilbur really was the owner of Cape Consortium, things would get really bad for them. Right then, Wilbur spoke slowly, "I wasn't

    "He has broken the law, so he has lost all rights to be the director of Woods Corporate." Faye made a wave, and her secretary passed a file to Yvonne. After that, she announced in a low voice, "Did you really think that Blake truly loved you? You're wrong. He had a divorce statement drafted before you even got married, and he's planning to usurp Willow Corp after that. Open your eyes and take a good look!" Yvonne opened the file in disbelief. Marriage, shareholding, taking up equity, and divorce. Anyone could see what those documents meant. Yvonne's hands trembled as she shook her head in horror. "This can't be! There's no way this is true!" "If you don't believe me, go on and continue going out with him. See if that gets you anywhere." Faye only felt nothing but brutal satisfaction at the look of terror and shock on Yvonne's face. "Blake, please tell me this isn't true." Yvonne turned to Blake helplessly. At that moment, Blake had lost his senses. He could not accept the

    Gordon looked at his daughter. "What's going on?" "Grandpa didn't take any medicine," Susie said diffidently. Gordon sprang to his feet with a long face. "What about his test results, then?" Susie lowered her head. "The test results are real. Grandpa said that it was Wilbur who treated him, and his body only got better thanks to the cultivation method that Wilbur taught him." Gordon sat back down slowly. He could not believe that this was true. Susie would never lie to him. Benjamin had not taken any of the medicine, but his body had miraculously taken a turn for the better… That could only mean that Wilbur was behind all of it. Seeing the helpless look on her father's face, Susie said in a small voice, "Grandpa told us to apologize to Wilbur in person and ask for his forgiveness, or Grandpa won't let us go home." Gordon was silent. His expression shifted endlessly. It was clear that he was struggling internally. At that exact moment, Blake ran over to Gordon. "General

    "Mister Blake Woods, we're from the Department of Fiscal Crimes. Your company was found to be faking transactions and having abnormal cash flow. Please come with us for further investigation," another man in a uniform said. Just then, Blake's entire body gave out as he was carried away. The appearance of both groups of people shocked everyone as well. Wasn’t that too much of a coincidence? Everyone stared at Faye, who was elegantly in her seat sipping her champagne. They immediately understood that everything had been orchestrated by this woman. How else would the authorities have shown up right on time? Wilbur smiled and walked up to Faye, saying, "Seems like the wedding's over. I'm out of here." Faye got up. She had gotten what she wanted and obviously did not want to stay any longer. Yet just then, Yvonne came running over. She clutched Wilbur by the arm and sobbed, "Wilbur, I've messed up. Won't you forgive me? Please? Come home with me and I'll be nice to you. I'll

    wner of Cape Consortium International. Someone of his power had a terrifying influence on the industry. There might not be any companies willing to work with the Willows anymore after this incident. If Wilbur were out to get them, the Willow family would lose everything in the blink of an eye. The Willow family could not afford to have the Cape Consortium attack them, given how powerful it was. Cape Consortium was like a huge mountain, whereas the Willow family was merely a lump of soil at its foot. She could not think of any way to defend herself from Cape Consortium's attacks. All she could do was beg for Wilbur's forgiveness so that the Willow family would be able to survive. Wilbur realized what Yvonne was worried about and said calmly, "I’ll let bygones be bygones. I won't do anything to Willow Corp. Don't worry." "Really?" Yvonne lifted her head, looking pitiful. Wilbur frowned. "You don't need to act all weak and needy to me. I told you that neither of us should re

    It was Wilbur who fell silent now. It took a while before he said, "So, I guess you know what happened, then." "Yes." "I hope you won't blame me," Wilbur said apologetically. Chelsea said weakly, "I don't blame you. They got what they deserved. Yvonne called me earlier to get me to approach you." Wilbur was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what she meant. "Well, come here, then. I've got something to talk to you about, too." "I know they just want to use me, and you know that too," Chelsea said. Wilbur nodded. "I know, but you should know that I see you and the Willow family as separate entities. I'd like you to work as an assistant to Faye Yves. You can learn some new things. This has nothing to do with the Willows." "Can you let me think about it? I don't know what to do right now." He could clearly perceive Chelsea's anxiety through the phone. Wilbur frowned. Chelsea was still a member of the Willow family, after all. This might cause her a lot of st

    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.

    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

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
