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

    Upon hearing those words, Yvonne almost passed out again due to her outrage. After a short pause, she replied helplessly, "Help me schedule a meeting with the person in charge. I'd like to have a talk with him." She then hung up the call. She knew very well that the fallout from the failed wedding was starting to show. It was unclear what else lay ahead. All she could do was to face them as they came. Yvonne's parents were gloomy as well. They were still angry at Wilbur, believing that it was Wilbur who pushed their family into a corner. Evening came. Faye drove home alone cheerfully, thinking about what nightgown she was going to wear at home. Perhaps she should buy a few more. After all, she had worn all the ones she had. Should her new nightgowns be even sexier? Suddenly, a black MPV overtook her and grazed against her car. Faye cursed her bad luck and then got out of the car to take a look. Just then, several burly men got out of the MPV. They dragged Faye into

    "What am I doing?" Stanley slammed his fork onto the table, his expression was murderous. "You ruined my future and let me be punished by the overseas headquarters. What do you think I'm doing? Stanley got angrier and angrier as he spoke. He had been fired by the Cape Consortium, which pretty much made it impossible for him to survive in the industry. On top of that, he knew how ruthless and cruel the people in the Cape Consortium's internal security were. Cape Consortium's internal security department was just a label. They were a group of heartless and ruthless demons. Besides being in charge of the Cape Consortium's security system, they were also responsible for punishing staff members who committed severe mistakes. Most importantly, they were incredibly powerful, specializing in handling people who owed the Cape Consortium money or refused to pay up. Having been one of the Cape Consortium's higher-ups in the past, Stanley knew how terrifying those people were. Every pers

    Wilbur said slowly, "Yes, speaking. What's the matter?" "Head up north to Copperhead Factory. There's something I need your help with," Faye said. Wilbur frowned. He immediately understood that something had happened to Faye. "Got it. I'll be right there. I'll take care of it." At the same time, over at house number one. Benjamin ordered the personal chef to prepare a hearty meal. He then said to his son, "Invite Wilbur over. I'd like to have a drink with him tonight." Gordon nodded and headed out toward Wilbur's house. At the factory, Faye hung up the call and let out a deep sigh. She could tell that Wilbur knew something had happened to her. That was because she had never addressed Wilbur by his full name in regular conversations before. Moreover, Wilbur's response was clear that he wanted her to let him handle it. She just hoped that Wilbur understood how dire the situation was and made sufficient preparation instead of coming alone. Just then, Lightning Hank glanc

    Stanley was flabbergasted. It took him a moment to process what Wilbur had just said and burst out laughing. He gave Wilbur a murderous stare. "Young man, do you know who this guy here is? He's Lightning Hank, the head of the Black Tiger Gang! They run Seechertown's underground scene. I think you don't understand what's going on here." "The Black Tiger Gang? Lightning Hank?" Wilbur asked calmly. He then added, "I've never heard of them." Those words made Stanley lose his cool. Just as he was about to shout back at Wilbur, Lightning Hank said, "What a stubborn little guy! You don't know who I am? I guess I'll just have to show you today." Faye hurried to say, "Sir, please don't! You just want money, right? I can give you as much of it as you want. Please don't hurt us. We can talk this through." Lightning Hank retorted coldly. "Why would I need to talk things through with you? You think that the Cape Consortium is that powerful, do you? You're in Seechertown, and I'm the boss

    Wilbur smiled. "Ten minutes will do. I'll do it myself if he doesn't come." Lightning Hank continued eating, seemingly carefree. As the biggest gang in Seechertown and the ruler of the underground scene for almost twenty years, he was absolutely confident in himself. Furthermore, he was not alone. A gang leader of one of the bigger gangs had wanted to ambush him but had been taken down by Hank's backer unnoticeably. Hank did not feel as if he needed to fear anyone. This time, he was planning to let the Cape Consortium witness his power so that they would behave in the future. Ten minutes went by quickly enough. Gordon hurriedly got in alone in plain clothes. "Mister Penn, are you alright?" Gordon asked at once. Wilbur looked at the time and smiled. "You're quite punctual." Gordon bowed his head as a sign of respect before turning to look at Lightning Hank and his men. "Which one of you is the leader? Show yourself." Lightning Hank glanced at Gordon coldly, saying, "Wh

    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
