When Sherry finally saw that it was Wilbur, she screamed even more. "Please don't hurt me! I'll apologize! I swear I'll apologize!" "Calm down. I'm one of the good guys." Wilbur untied Sherry and helped her onto a chair. He sat across from her, lighting a cigarette. Sherry was trembling all over, not even daring to look Wilbur in the eye. Whatever happened that day had scared the living hell out of her. Wilbur shook his head and sighed. "What did I tell you? Don't go down the wrong path. I was right, wasn't I?" Sherry burst into tears at once, sobbing loudly. Wilbur frowned, not knowing what to say. A long time later, Sherry's sobs finally died down. She snuck a glance at Wilbur, saying in between hiccups, "I-I didn't know I'd g-get into so much t-trouble. If I knew, I would've n-never done that." "Do you know your life is in danger right now?" Wilbur asked. Sherry began to sob again. "I know. I'm sorry. I'll never do it again." Wilbur sighed, saying nothing. Sher
She did not even know what Cape was in the beginning, and barely feared it. However, upon finding out that Cape was involved in the accident, she looked it up and found that it was the name of an international company. Right after that, Jordan had given her a crazy amount of money in support of her continuing to hype up the accident. The money had gotten to Sherry's head, and she completely forgot just how terrifying of a force Cape was. It was not until she was kidnapped that she finally understood exactly how powerful Cape and Joy Corp were. She was regretting everything right now and starting to actually fear for her life. Wilbur was seated right across from her at that very moment. Being in the presence of the owner of a global corporation, who also happened to be a highly skilled fighter, made Sherry feel an incomprehensible pressure bearing down upon her, making it hard for her to breathe. "Thank you, Mister Penn. Thank you so much. I'm really sorry and promise to
"He chose to get physical, kidnapping Sherry Divos and attempting to kill Telford Gills. Now that he's been arrested, he's got a pretty heavy sentence waiting for him. He might say a lot of things to lighten his sentence that could involve the company." Dorson said nothing, listening silently. Kim paused for a while, before continuing, "With how things are, I guess you'll just have to pay the Special Forces department a trip. Jordan has to die. If you can, take the girl and Gills out too." "Understood, Miss Jenkins." Kim looked at Dorson. "The company will make sure your family is tended to, and I'll tell the High Lady the truth as well. Go ahead." "Thank you, Miss Jenkins." Dorson turned to leave the office, remaining emotionless. Kim took a long drag of her cigarette and muttered to herself, "Jordan Pavian, you useless piece of garbage! Now I'm going to lose Dorson. What am I supposed to say to the High Lady?" She snubbed the cigarette hard into the ashtray, her expre
It was none other than Dorson. He grabbed Sherry by the neck, shielding himself behind her. Breaking through the wall required him to use spirit energy, and he had no choice but to show himself. At the same time, a team of officers from the control room had rushed over, surrounding the detention cell and pointing their guns at Dorson. "Don't move! Let Miss Divos go!" one of the officers shouted. Dorson paid him no mind, patiently waiting. He was prepared to die while carrying out the mission but would still choose to escape if given a chance to reunite with his family at home. As long as he completed the mission he had been assigned, the company would probably not fault him. Just then, Elsa rushed to the scene. She pointed her gun at Dorson and asked, "Who are you, and why did you kill Jordan Pavian?" Elsa was beyond furious right now. Someone had broken into the department and killed an important criminal. Not only would this be a grave incompetence on her part, but it w
Elsa sprang to her feet at once. She lifted Sherry into her arms, rolling over and placing the girl on the ground gently. Sherry was pale as a sheet, barely alive. Dorson had started the car, jamming his foot on the accelerator as he sped toward the gates. He had killed Jordan, and Sherry was going to die soon too. Telford was the only target remaining. Kim had said from the start that the main target was Jordan, and it was best if the other two were killed too, but they were a secondary priority. This way, Dorson technically completed his mission. As long as he made it out of the Special Forces department, he would be able to camouflage himself using his spirit energy so that no one would be able to find him. The second he was out of there, he would head into the mountains. He would be able to make it back to his homeland with how strong he was, even if he had to walk. The thought of being able to go home and reunite with his family put a smile on his face. After living
The officers were in shock, and Elsa reeled as well. She knew that all cultivators were out of the ordinary. Wilbur was nothing but calm. He muttered a simple chant and snapped his fingers once. "Thunder Bulbs." The next moment, two fist-sized balls of lightning appeared above Wilbur's head. They glowed with fluorescent lightning and crushed both of Dorson's clones at once. At the same time, Dorson's real body pulsed with a powerful spirit pressure before disappearing completely. Wilbur did not stop there. He placed his palms together as he cried out, "Quad Thunder!" The four lightning balls appeared once again, connected by chains of sparks and lightning. The space before Wilbur shook, and Dorson's figure was revealed as he was caught right in the middle of the Quad Thunder spell. Wilbur smiled. "That was impressive, but you've got a long way to go compared to me." Dorson's face was creased in pain and shock. He did not expect his special skill to be taken down just
"Is Chloe alright?" Wilbur asked. Elsa shook her head. "She's fine, but Sherry's condition is a lot worse." Wilbur walked up to Sherry. Due to him protecting her organs with his spirit energy in time, her condition was not fatal despite being badly hurt. Sherry burst into tears when she saw Wilbur, unable to say a word. She had finally understood how terrifying of a situation she had gotten herself into, one that had almost cost her life. The world was hardly what she saw it as, and people this ruthless did exist. They were absolutely terrifying. Wilbur saw that Sherry was truly scared out of her wits. He sighed. "See how dangerous that was? Please don't do stuff like this anymore." Sherry nodded weakly. After what had just happened, she would never dare to do such a thing ever again. Just then, the ambulance had finally made it to send Sherry to the hospital. At Wilbur's suggestion, he and Elsa went to where Chloe had been staying. Chloe was not a suspect, and
Just then, Faron said, "Joy Corp might not have any evidence that Cape or the authorities can get a hold of, but it's undeniable that Jordan framed Cape and Dorson killed him for it. Based on that alone, Joy Corp's going to have to slip something good our way if they don't want Cape to hound them for what happened. They can't afford any more trouble as this could affect their company and land them in a serious crisis. Wilbur's right." Elsa understood at once and nodded along. "This will be good for Cape, then." "That's all thanks to Wilbur. If Dorson managed to escape after his assassination, both sides would've been in a tie and Joy Corp would have no reason to let up. They might even be smug about it," Faron said. Elsa shrugged, shaking her head. "I'm not as business-minded as the likes of you." Faron's expression darkened at once. "What's wrong with being business-minded? Is your mind any better?" "Are you calling me stupid?" Elsa fumed in retaliation. Wilbur sensed a fi
