Wilbur felt like it was time they took that step. He ripped off the nightgown Faye was wearing, revealing her perfect figure to him all at once. The tantalizing sight made Wilbur's mouth go dry, and the urge in him grew even stronger. Just as he was about to make the next move, Faye grabbed a blanket and covered herself with it. "Wait!" Wilbur stared at her dumbly. What was there to wait for? He was rearing to go! Yet Faye said, "Wilbur, I'm more than happy to do this. I just hope we can wait until the day we're married." Wilbur fell silent. A long pause later, he sat up. "I'm sorry." "Don't be. I just don't want to regret anything, you know?" Faye's tone was gentle as she sat up next to Wilbur. Wilbur smiled. "I understand. I guess we need to start planning that wedding." Faye nodded with a smile. "I'll try my best," said Wilbur. "Just let me finish what I have on hand, alright? I'll be bringing Sarah to your office tomorrow. Just give me a little time." "I kno
The next second, Wilbur channeled his spirit energy into the ball of black light without a moment's hesitation. All at once, dark power began to tear at Wilbur's spirit energy with a tremendous force that even made Wilbur's soul tree begin to quake. However, Wilbur's terrifying spirit energy was able to stabilize his soul all while processing the information that the darkness' power of the universe's laws contained. Time ticked by slowly, and eventually, Wilbur was able to understand and absorb all the information in the ball of light. Just as he was about to retract his spirit energy, Wilbur realized that the ball of power seemed to have a strange connection to the outside world. This had greatly shocked Wilbur. This had been something his sea of consciousness had never noticed in the past. The thought filled Wilbur with fear at once. The next second, Wilbur's spirit energy began to extend along an invincible line that was barely tangible but could be felt. As this w
Wilbur let out a cough. "I'm sorry, I was held up with some stuff. Give me a moment. I'll pick you up and we'll see Faye together." "Forget it! I've seen through your lying ass! I made this call to tell you that you can forget about trying to lie to me." Sarah hung up the call right after. Wilbur shook his head, getting into his car and driving off to Sarah's hotel at once. He arrived at Sarah's room not long after, knocking on the door and entering. Sarah glared at him coldly. "How dare you still show up? I should be calling the cops on you!" "I swear I was held up with something. Faye's waiting for us. Come on," Wilbur smiled. Sarah snorted. "You're still lying? Do you take me for an idiot?" "Well, you'll find out once we get there, won't you? It's barely fifteen minutes to get to Cape from here," said Wilbur. Sarah began to hesitate at the words once more. To tell the truth, she still remained a little hopeful in Wilbur. There was no other way out of her situation, a
Sarah had seen Faye on television before and knew she was the real deal… which meant that Wilbur was definitely telling the truth. Wilbur then said, "Well then, let's head out so we can fix your situation as soon as possible. I've got other things waiting for me to settle." Indeed, Wilbur had to find a way to make the money that Karl and the others needed. Sarah nodded, and Faye said, "We're in the middle of going through your company's records, Sarah. If everything's fine, we'll be able to invest twenty billion dollars. Will that be enough?" "Yes, it's definitely enough." Sarah was overwhelmed with emotion. Nees Corp was hardly even worth five billion dollars. Twenty billion dollars was more than enough. Faye smiled, saying nothing more. "Let's go. I'll handle that Sawyer guy. That's it, right?" asked Wilbur. Sarah nodded hurriedly. Despite the fact that the Rochers were a pain in the neck, Wilbur was all the more powerful and more than qualified to talk it out with them
Seamus frowned. All of a sudden, Sawyer, who had been silent this entire time, flew to his feet looking enraged. "The nerve of her, showing up with another man when she already belongs to me! I'm going to teach that bastard a lesson so the Neeses know exactly who they're messing with." "Sit down," said Seamus sharply. Sawyer looked nothing but displeased but did as he was told. Seamus then said, "It's fine as long as the girl's back. It's Nees Corp we're after. She's just a bonus." Sawyer stared at his father in disbelief but could not bring himself to say a single word. Seamus looked around him. "Sawyer's wedding with the young lady is in two days, and the Nees family is going to have one last talk with us. The wedding will be held, and our plan will be followed through so we can have the Neeses wrapped around our fingers. No slip-ups allowed until then." Everyone else nodded, knowing that the wedding was just a front to placate that old geezer Warner Nees so that the next
That was terrible news. The Neeses were already on the verge of bankruptcy, and this arranged marriage to the Rochers had been a one-in-a-million chance to gain the Rochers' trust so that Nees Corp could be saved. What were they going to say now that Sarah was missing? The Rochers would be humiliated if there was trouble with the wedding. And with how the Rochers operated, they would definitely take it out on the Neeses. It was important to note that the Rochers had risen to glory through some less-than-savory methods and were known for their ruthless way. The Neeses would be doomed if they caused such a big embarrassment for the Rochers. Everyone knew that the Rochers had all of Hemount City wrapped around their finger because they had a powerful elite on their side. Had there been no other solution for the Neeses and the olive branch that the Rochers had outstretched with just a wedding in exchange, Warner would have never said yes to a deal like that. Now that he had sai
The two men came up to Wilbur and were about to drag him out. Just then, Wilbur flashed a smile. "You must be Mister Seamus Nees. I brought Sarah to Faye's office, and we even chatted there for a while. Please believe your daughter, and in turn, believe me as well." At the same time, Sarah threw herself in front of Wilbur with her arms stretched out. "Don't you dare touch him!" The two men hesitated at once. They were merely doing their job. Sarah was the daughter of the Nees family, and they did not dare to cross her despite the fact that they were merely operating on Warner's orders. Warner raised an eyebrow at Wilbur in confusion at his words, before looking at his daughter. Sarah said at once, "I swear it's true! I ran into Wilbur after I got to Seechertown and told him about my situation. He said he could help, which I didn't believe at first. Then he brought me to meet Madam Yves, whom I did see in the flesh! He's not lying, I swear." The rest of the Nees family excha
The crowd looked at the bangle Sarah was wearing, a plain band made of white jade. Upon a closer look, it was clearly one with a deep, rich history. Everyone knew that Sarah was the only child Warner had. The bangle was the Nees family's one and only generational treasure. Sarah's grandmother had given it to her before passing, saying that it had been around for thousands of years. However, the bangle was worth a few hundred thousand dollars at most. It was merely an antique, after all. What the Neeses needed was at least two billion dollars in cash. That was a trade-off that hardly even made sense. Jenson smirked at Wilbur's words. "Caught you red-handed there. The bangle's worth a few hundred thousand dollars at most, but the Nees family needs at least two billion dollars in cash. Do you think we'd really believe that it's just the bangle you're after?" Sarah was all the more dazed, finding that her uncle was making more and more sense. "The bangle might be worth a fe
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
