Wilbur nodded and said, "Well said. You're right. I'll have a wider target market if I have a bigger variety of processed jades." Then, Wilbur turned to look at Molton and asked, "What about you, Molton?" Molton replied, "Mister Penn, my jade collectibles only have two strengths. First of all, I can guarantee the quality. Second of all, if I can have the three hundred million deal, all my jade collectibles can be sold for half of the price." "Half of the price? Hah!" Hart shook his head and laughed when he heard that and asked, "Do you think you can fool Mister Penn? Molton, your jade collectibles are resold goods. It's higher than the market price even if you sell them for half the price. My jade collectibles have variety, and the price is surely lower than yours. Do you think you can compete with me?" Molton was displeased and asked, "Why do you think I can't compete with you?" "You should know your place, Molton. I feel like you're joking with me. Don't blame me for bein
Suddenly, Hart burst out laughing in anger, tossing the contract aside. Pages of blank paper rained down from above. Then, he turned and left, saying as he walked away, "Molton, you're ruthless. Let's see how this ends for you this time!" Wilbur stood there, stunned. Molton bent down to pick up the pages of the contract, tidying them up before he handed them to Wilbur, saying, "Mister Penn, please sign here." "Uh…" Wilbur hesitated for a moment before asking, "Mister Molton, how about we discuss the terms again? Maybe I can raise the number a little." "There's no need for that. Since we've agreed on the price, we'll just stick to it," Molton replied. Wilbur signed the contract and watched as Molton left with his people. The tension dissipated in an instant. Wilbur wore an incredulous expression as he said, "This power play… It's truly unbelievable." In the afternoon, Korlyn was caught in heavy rain. At a pier by the seaside, Molton stood inside a gazebo. Haron approached
Molton extended a trembling index finger and pointed at Haron, saying, "I'm not crazy, Haron. I've been waiting for you to say that. Didn't you say there are tens of thousands of artifacts on that sunken ship? Now, our opportunity has come." "What?" "Molton, you're eyeing those artifacts on the sunken ship? It's difficult to salvage them, and if tens of thousands of artifacts suddenly appear in Rostead's collectibles market, we won't be able to hide them from others. If Kearson finds out, we're both dead." "Kearson again! All you see is Kearson!" Molton grabbed Haron's shirt and glared, "You spineless fool, you'll spend the rest of your life keeping the secret of the treasure for Kearson. Although you found the treasure, it won't belong to you!" After cursing, Molton pushed Haron away. Haron gritted his teeth and punched Molton in the face, knocking him to the ground. Haron said, "Molton, I've always treated you as my best friend. You should know the consequences if the treas
"It's okay. Anyway, I just came to Rostead for a change of scenery. However, I really think you are a capable man. Let's work together again in the future if the opportunity arises." "Thank you. I will definitely cherish the opportunity to work with you." After hanging up the phone, Molton sighed with relief as he got up from the ground and looked at the sea covered by rain and mist outside the pavilion, sighing inwardly. At this moment, Molton realized that everyone had their own fate. Coming from humble beginnings like himself and Haron, wanting to achieve something significant in Rostead was nearly impossible. But at least now he could rely on Kearson and live a worry-free life. At that moment, Molton had completely let go of the idea of working with anyone and left the gazebo with his umbrella. On the way back, while he was passing through an empty alley, suddenly, about twenty people in black suits surged from both ends of the alley and surrounded Molton. At this mome
After he was done speaking, Hart handed the umbrella to one of the suited men and waved, saying, "Let's go." As Hart turned to leave, the twenty or so suited men rushed forward, assaulting Molton with punches and kicks, knocking him to the ground. As the crowd dispersed, Molton was left lying in a sorry state in a puddle on the ground, covered in footprints. The intense pain in his abdomen and the aches all over his body repeatedly reminded Molton of what had happened. The pouring rain washed away everything, but it could not wash away the shame and anger in Molton's heart. Before long, Haron appeared at the alley entrance. He did not have an umbrella, and his whole body was soaked as he came to Molton's side, reaching out to pull Molton up from the ground. In the rain, Molton turned over and knelt on the ground, panting heavily, and said, "Did you see what just happened?" Haron did not speak and just nodded. Molton suddenly felt like he had not done anything wrong to dese
"I'd like to ask if you're still interested in the contract we talked about before?" At those words, a gleam of excitement flashed in Wilbur's eyes. After all, if it was Wilbur who initiated contact with Molton, then it would be Wilbur's decision. But if Molton reached out to Wilbur first, then it would be Molton's decision. Molton made his intentions clear, so Wilbur did not force the issue. It meant that Wilbur did not break his agreement with Fremont. "What business?" "Did you forget? The business with a budget of three hundred million." "You mean you're willing to sell to me at that same low price?" "Yes, the contract remains valid, but the transaction time needs to be postponed for a month. Next month, we'll conduct the transaction at sea. How about that?" "That's fine." After hanging up the phone, Wilbur felt very excited. After all, what Molton was selling was top-grade, and even at a low price of fifteen million, Wilbur would not be losing any money and would ma
After making the decision, Wilbur unleashed all of his dragon aura, only leaving one percent of the dragon aura inside his body. After one cycle of it circulating inside his body, he started to inject it into his bones. Even though only one percent of the dragon aura was left, as soon as it entered the ribs, Wilbur could not bear the physical stress and spat out a mouthful of blood. The dragon aura was too overpowering, causing great damage to his bones. Fortunately, it was only one percent of his dragon aura, so Wilbur was barely able to endure it. After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Wilbur continued to control the dragon aura and infused it into his bones. After a whole day, Wilbur finally infused one percent of the dragon aura into all the bones in his body, letting it circulate in his bones. However, the dragon aura was too overpowering, and his bones were severely injured. Therefore, within the first seven days, Wilbur's body became increasingly fragile. At
Tracius shook his head and said, "No, I am a cultivator. Worldly wealth doesn't mean much to me. As you know, people like us can receive good treatment wherever we go. Besides, my goal is to become stronger through practice, not to try to obtain money and benefits." "Aren't you tempted?" "I used to be, but I later realized that money cannot truly solve problems. Only strength can." Soon, Wilbur saw the cargo ship in the distance, with Molton and Haron waving to him from the deck. Molton shouted loudly, "Mister Penn, over here!" At this moment, Wilbur saw a speedboat speeding past the ship, heading towards the cargo ship where Molton and Haron were. With just a glance, Wilbur saw a familiar figure on the speedboat. Kearson! He had finally come. Soon, the speedboat approached the cargo ship, and two bodyguards threw out ropes to climb onto the cargo ship, while Kearson leaped onto the ship. Wilbur and Tracius glanced at each other, then both of them jumped onto the cargo
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
