Ever since the virus, David, had healed Wilbur, he had widened his prospects of the world greatly. If the virus could heal Wilbur within a minute, there would be even more powerful healing spells around the world. The dragon aura had grown past what Wilbur's body could handle in the past because he could not control it, and that was why he had never thought of using it to heal his body. Now that he had the bronze cauldrons, Wilbur learned more about the dragon aura. He stopped channeling after an hour, and it was not long before the dragon aura in his body returned to normal. At the same time, the dragon aura flowing outside of his body was quickly absorbed by the four bronze cauldrons. The cauldrons landed on the ground slowly as Wilbur stretched his healed joints. An idea came to him then, and he channeled his thunder cleaver. Wilbur could feel the significantly shorter amount of time it took to channel the thunder cleaver this time, and the lightning powers in it were also muc
Madam Judy walked over from behind her desk. "You missed your chance, and now you're asking for a second chance that I don't want to give to you. Are you going to force me into selling the cauldron to you?" "No, of course not," said Wilbur. Madam Judy pushed her glasses up. "Alright. The shenanigans regarding this cauldron shall end now, then. You're free to keep looking around at the artifacts here, but please leave if you have any other ideas." Wilbur was furious as he left Madam Judy's office, and Ellen chased after him apologizing profusely. "I'm so sorry, Mister Penn. I didn't think Madam Judy would change her mind so suddenly. She wasn't like this yesterday." "What was she like, then?" Wilbur stopped in his tracks, turning to look at Ellen. Ellen froze, lowering her head, and said, "Maybe Madam Judy isn't in a good mood today. Maybe you could come by tomorrow and she might change her mind?" Wilbur took a deep breath, adjusting his emotions. "Alright, Miss Ellen. I apo
The truth was that Wilbur also suspected the Black Panthers and their elite leader had some mysterious connection with the bronze cauldrons. Wilbur had just bought a cauldron from Jiro, and the Black Panthers had made a reappearance, killing Jiro before flying to Migorn to look for Wilbur. Despite the fact that the Black Panthers might not really want to work with Wilbur, he knew that they must have some information on the cauldrons. In fact, Wilbur had even been looking forward to the Black Panthers' visit so that he would be able to get a lead on where the remaining three cauldrons were. Wilbur arrived at Billy's manor half an hour later, where he was standing at the entrance waiting for him before welcoming him into the manor. Sitting in the living room was Perry Woller, a member of the Black Panthers. Wilbur had met the guy before and sat down himself before taking a sip of tea. "What's up, Perry?" Perry nodded at Wilbur. "Wilbur, I'd like to inform you on behalf of the Bla
All four men spat out mouthfuls of blood, staring at Wilbur and his clone in disbelief. Just then, Wilbur's clone faded into nothing as his dragon aura returned to his body. Perry's jaw dropped open. "You've learned the cloning spell…" "What about it? Is that supposed to be a surprise to you?" Wilbur said, "Perry, I won't kill you today since we know each other. Go back and tell your leader that anyone can own the Nine Dragons Cauldrons if they are worthy and capable enough. Also, I won't be as nice the next time you come looking for me." He turned to leave after that. Billy's legs wobbled as he watched Wilbur walk away, and Billy fell to his knees before Wilbur respectfully. "Mister Penn, please forgive me! I'm willing to do anything you want me to as long as you forgive me, Mister Penn! Give me any order you wish, and I'll have it done." Wilbur glanced at Billy coldly. "I'll let you go today, you bastard. Get out of my way." "Thank you, Mister Penn." Billy heaved a huge s
Wilbur restored his body after channeling his dragon aura to rest. "I guess I still went too hard this time." The effects of the dragon aura surging through his body were terrifying, and Wilbur could only endure half the pressure of the energy surge. Nonetheless, he had filled his body with it at the manor. Despite the fact that Wilbur had taken his opponents down with just one move, using the dragon aura took a huge toll on Wilbur after it returned to his body. Had Wilbur not channeled it into the cauldrons in time, he would not have been able to keep it under control. Wilbur committed this limit of his abilities to memory. At the same time, Wilbur also realized that the explosive elements of the dragon aura would weaken slowly after being absorbed by the bronze cauldrons, eventually returning to a stable condition. This was something he had not noticed before, which only made Wilbur all the more confused about the cauldrons. That wise senior Fremont Skye had created such spec
"There's always a chance for things to turn around," Wilbur said before he placed the letter into the suggestion box. He then turned to face Madam Judy. "Since you considered selling the bronze cauldrons to me before, I'm sure I'll be able to win you over with my actions again, so you change your mind." Madam Judy's expression darkened. "You can very well continue if you find meaning in doing that, but I can tell you now that I'm not changing my mind. Nothing you do will change that." "But Madam Judy, you said…" Ellen piped up with tears in her eyes, trying to speak up for Wilbur. Yet just then, Madam Judy pointed at Ellen angrily. "This is an official notice, Ellen. You're fired. Please leave immediately." Ellen froze in the spot, dumbstruck. Her legs wobbled and she fell to her knees, kneeling in front of Madam Judy. "Please, Madam Judy, please don't fire me. This job is extremely important to me, please give me another chance." Madam Judy sighed. "It's not that I don't wan
"What's the big deal? It's just a job, isn't it? You could always get another one. Why put your life at risk over something like this?" Ellen wrenched herself out of Wilbur's grasp. "I didn't just lose my job. I've lost my whole life along with it. Nothing about me belongs to me, and I've tried so, so hard." "I think I can help you out there. I'll look for a job with you, and I'll help you with your family. I'll get those who bullied you to apologize to you and give you a normal life." "What did you say? You're going to make the people who bullied me apologize to me? Hahaha! Can you even do that?" Ellen snorted. She had never been able to escape her father, and she did not think it was something she would ever be able to do. Yet Wilbur's words gave Ellen a spark of hope. If everything had lost its meaning, the best thing she could hope for was the people who had hurt her before to be punished. "I can do that. But you need to promise me that you're going to live a long and won
"So, now that your mother's paralyzed, you're the breadwinner of the house but all the money you make goes to your father?" "Yes." Ellen took a deep breath, her eyes as she mustered up the courage to say, "I'm sure you didn't expect that, right? You must be thinking that I'm a complete joke. Well, go ahead. Laugh all you want." Wilbur shook his head. "No. I feel awful that you had to go through all of that. Dashan people do not like mocking others. Besides, I told you I would help you." Ellen barked out a laugh, tears welling up in her eyes. She had been ready for Wilbur to laugh at her and even abandon her, leaving her to leave the cafe awkwardly on her own. Yet not only did Wilbur not laugh at her, but he even comforted her, which had warmed her heart. After the cafe, Ellen brought Wilbur to the theme park at his suggestion. The two of them had a fun afternoon together until Ellen's father called her screaming. Ellen's smile froze on her face, and she turned to Wilbur. "I t
