Wilbur looked down at the beast every now and then as he rose. The enormous creature was currently lying at the bottom of the ocean as if it were worshiping Wilbur. The beast's demeanor confused Wilbur. Despite the fact that Dashan myths spoke of dragons ruling the ocean, they were still considered fictional at the end of the day, and Wilbur did not particularly believe in them. Now that he was seeing an ocean beast in real life laying at the bottom of the ocean meekly bowing to him, Wilbur realized that those Dashan legends might be real after all. The dragons might have actually been the ruler of the ocean, else the ocean beast would not have bowed to it so obediently. Within a minute, Wilbur had returned to the shore from the bottom of the ocean. The staff came over to take the chains and clasp off of Wilbur. The staff in charge of taking off his special oxygen tank took a look at the data and gasped in shock. "That was close! The oxygen would have run out if you had stayed ju
Paul felt that it was only a matter of time before the beast returned to its senses. Thus, after giving out a few orders to the staff, he sent Wilbur back to Aidementon. Wilbur returned to his room and closed the door. At last, blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth. The battle at the bottom of the ocean had far surpassed Wilbur's limits. Despite the fact that he had exploded with power in time and released the electrical currents back into the water, his body was still greatly affected and the dragon's head mark on his back had not stopped burning. Wilbur did not mention it so as not to cause a fuss, but now that he was back home, there was no need to hide anymore. Wiping the blood away, Wilbur hastily took out a Thunder-type Healing Pill and swallowed it. He sat cross-legged on the bed resting after that and remained in that position until he was fully recovered in the evening. Wilbur was able to restore his health and powers significantly faster than before, and tha
Before Tina could speak, her mother replied, "Kyra and Demetra have left. Demetra said that he was leaving Cametra to look for Miyah and that you would always be a good friend of his. Oh, he also left you this letter." Tina's mother handed an envelope to Wilbur, which he did not open right away. "Thank you, ma'am. Let's eat." After dinner, Wilbur returned to the attic and opened the letter. Demetra was not particularly good with his words, but he expressed his gratitude towards Wilbur and brought up something. It turned out that Tina had cried the entire night after her mother had told her how she felt. Tina had no choice, and Demetra hoped Wilbur would not blame her. Wilbur sighed after reading the letter. Just then, Tina came into the room with a handkerchief she had finished embroidering. "I heard that Dashans like embroidery, and the dragon symbolizes luck and happiness. I thought of making you a handkerchief so you can carry it with you. Do you know how charming you look w
"I'm sure you know I'm not a member of the Scarlet Leaf Faction, Mister Paul. I'm not really interested in meddling in your affairs." "No, no, it's something else. Do you remember the ocean beast?" "That ocean beast?" Wilbur was confused. "What's wrong? Has that not been fixed yet?" "Yes. It's been three whole days, but the beast is still lying in the cage unwilling to leave. We need your help, Wilbur." Wilbur was surprised at Paul's words. He had thought that the beast would have been desperate to flee the cage, but it turned out that it was still inside and not willing to come out. "I don't know how to lure it out, Mister Paul. Maybe you could find someone else to help?" "No, Wilbur. It's clear that the ocean beast is in this manner because something triggered it. I think if you go down again and it sees you, it might go back to normal and leave." Wilbur was a little speechless, but it was the truth that the ocean beast had curled into a ball out of fear of him and refuse
The next second, something shocking happened. Wilbur was seen walking toward the beast, clearly trying to get closer. Paul was alarmed. "What's he doing? Doesn't he know how dangerous that is? Send him a warning right now!" "Yes, sir." Underwater, Wilbur sensed the pressure from the chain attached to him. He gestured to the cameras, implying for Paul to trust him. Paul had no choice but to tell the staff to stop sending the signal, as well as having them prepare themselves. Wilbur was to be dragged onto shore immediately if anything was to happen to him. Wilbur had had to change his approach after having failed to awaken the beast many times, and he felt like the creature was quite human-like. It was intimidated by his aura the last time, which was the reason why it was so scared. Wilbur might just be able to soothe its nerves by stroking it and expressing friendliness. The beast would leave as long as it was not scared anymore, which seemed to be the only way to go from h
"Take your time paying me back, Tina. There's no rush at all." "No worries, Miss Kyra. I'll spend the rest of my life paying this debt off." Tina had spent two million dollars on a gift that she was told was a mysterious antique from Dasha. Since she could not make Wilbur stay, she would at least show him how she felt. Two million dollars was the limit of what Tina could afford, but she hardly cared. Tina drove all the way home, spending the rest of the afternoon sitting in her room in a daze thinking of Wilbur. It was only in the evening that she finally mustered up the courage to go to the attic. On the desk lay a pair of clay dolls, a bank card, and a letter. Over on another end, the plane landed in Seechertown in the evening. Wilbur came out of the airport, glancing at his watch as he walked. He had already called Faye and Ryder before coming back and figured they should be there. Wilbur had called Faye first and only called Ryder to give him some information to send ba
Ryder exchanged glances with Wilbur, then turned to leave. Wilbur looked at Faye's back. Before he could say anything, Faye asked, "So, how were things in Cametra?" "Pretty good." Wilbur had thought Faye would be angry at him, but she had been concerned all along. Faye strode up to Wilbur, raising a hand to stroke his cheeks with a pout. "Look at you, you're all skinny now." "Wait here. I'll make you some pasta. You need the food." She left the room, and Wilbur heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled, calling after her, "Hurry up." "Yeah, alright." "Faye's gone to the kitchen, Deacon Penn." Ryder's voice came from outside the door. He had hidden nearby just now instead of leaving and entered Wilbur's room with a notebook after watching Faye leave. "Well, Deacon Penn, how is the development of Greensource Corp? Also, how are the Scarlet Leaf Faction and the Green Leaf Faction feeling about this?" Wilbur had told Ryder to be prepared to write the information down and thus to
Wilbur thought about it. Cape Consortium was in Seechertown, so if they wanted to make their mark in Seechertown from now on, they had to cross paths with the museum. Wilbur was a patriot, after all. Moreover, the consignment shop set up overseas frequently received Dasha collectibles lost overseas. Few of those collectibles were national treasures, but among the few, some were worth collecting. Because those collectibles were meaningful to Dasha, Wilbur wanted to take them back and then donate them to the museum. With the museum director, Mister Sun, reaching out to Wilbur, he was undoubtedly given an opportunity to do just that. Wilbur said, "Alright. Faye, we'll go together tomorrow morning." "Yeah." Faye nodded. Then, she turned to look at the view outside the window and said, "It's getting late. You should rest early because you just came back. I'll go." Wilbur stopped her by holding her hand from behind and said, "You're leaving so soon? Are you mad at me?" "What
