Hearing this, Felix was stunned for a moment, then he bowed slightly and said, "Yes, I have also heard about this matter." Babbit frowned and said, "Who do you think he saved? Someone who can give out three hundred gold coins so generously isn't an ordinary cultivator in Buck Town." Felix hesitated for a moment, then suddenly knelt before Babbit with a thud and said emotionally, "My Lord, actually, that person's name is Wilbur. The one he saved was me, and those three hundred gold coins were left by me for him. I hoped they would improve his life. With those coins, he could even leave Buck Town. But I didn't expect him to fall so low. Master, I have an unreasonable request, and I hope you will grant it." After speaking, Felix kept his head bowed low to the ground. Babbit glanced at Felix. With his means, he had already investigated this matter thoroughly, initially intending to use it as a reason to get rid of Felix. However, he did not expect Felix to confess voluntarily. Now,
"Yes, that's right. We are indeed from the Reyne family. It's been a while, Wilbur Penn." At that moment, Divan pushed through the crowd and came face-to-face with Wilbur. Looking at Wilbur, Divan smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to still be alive and even have the chance to stay in this luxurious suite." Although Divan selected slaves from the prison every day, he had forgotten many of them. However, Wilbur had left a particularly lasting impression on Divan, so he still remembered Wilbur. After hearing about the incident where someone saved a life and was given three hundred gold coins, Divan immediately investigated the matter. He never expected that the lucky person was Wilbur. Regardless, Wilbur and Felix managing to escape disaster was a testament to their abilities. Wilbur said coldly, "So it's you, Mister Divan. What do you want? If there's nothing urgent, I'd like to rest a bit more. I hope you won't disturb me again." Divan took a deep breath and said, "Wi
"Hmph, this person is young and arrogant, thinking that just because he has some power, he can be fearless. Let him go. Such a person will eventually pay the price for his arrogance. It would've been ridiculous to have a low-ranked cultivator sent to the teleportation array. Fortunately, it didn't come to pass. Let's head back." Divan left with his entourage. In the heavy snow, Augheimer saw Wilbur walking out of town without looking back. Augheimer sighed inwardly, thinking it was such a shame that Wilbur gave up such a good opportunity. If it were him, he would have left Buck Town a long time ago. Currently, Augheimer was just a third-class slave of the Reyne family. A third-class slave had no freedom, so despite having hundreds of gold coins, he could not leave using the teleportation array just yet. In the snow, Wilbur walked alone in the vast emptiness. After a while, he heard footsteps behind him. Wilbur stopped and turned around to see a man in a snow mink robe approaching
Wilbur knew from hearing Bertrand's words that he was a smart man. Buck Town was a bloodthirsty place, and no one would be willing to let their enemies live. If a battle was to break out and spiral out of control, both parties would become enemies and one of them would end up dead. Wilbur's dimensional ring had been claimed with his blood, and so Bertrand knew he would not be able to get the three hundred gold coins even he Wilbur was killed. The way to go was to ask Wilbur for two hundred gold coins first, which would at least get him some money. As for whether Wilbur lives or dies, that would depend on his behavior and how Bertrand was feeling. "You are powerful," Wilbur said. "Well, are you handing over those two hundred gold coins, then?" Wilbur sneered coldly. "No." Bertrand glowered at him. "What did you just say? Are you trying to humiliate me?" Wilbur shook his head. "No, I'm not. If you had the power to defeat me, I'd cough up those gold coins without a problem. It
Upon informing the three men, Babbit handed the letter to them. Dorrah exchanged glances with Conrad before beginning to read. He then passed it on to Grote, who did the same before passing the letter to Conrad. All three men were in shock after reading the letter. "How could this be?" Dorrah exclaimed. "Why is Edmund begging us for help all of a sudden? Didn't he just double his cultivation recently?" Babbit said, "I think Edmund might have suffered some backlash while cultivating, which affected his foundation. So, his powers didn't improve, and it even ended up decreasing significantly. He now fears nothing more than the four of us ganging up on him." "Well, why don't we take advantage of the situation at hand to do exactly that?" Babbit glanced at Dorrah. "Have you forgotten the City Lord rules? If a rebellion is to arise in a major town, the other City Lords will personally come to weed out the traitors and take them down. Even if we managed to kill Edmund while he's in a
"What's that? Are you doubting me?" "I…" Felix scrambled to kneel. "I mean no disrespect, Master." "It's alright. Get up. I'll show you a perfect Buck Town that I'll have full control over by then. By the way, I heard that Wilbur Penn refused to leave Buck Town. He went to the outskirts instead. I gave him a chance, Felix. Don't fault me for this." "What?" Felix was shocked to hear the news. He thought that Wilbur was out of Buck Town, only to hear that he had stubbornly chosen to stay. Felix sighed, saying a silent prayer for Wilbur in his head. "Don't you worry, Felix. As long as you stay by my side, I promise Wilbur won't be able to hurt you. In fact, he won't be a threat to you at all. "Thank you, Master." Over in the snow, Wilbur took on dozens of opponents consecutively. All the challengers were after his gold coins but turned out to be far too weak. Wilbur ended up killing all of them before changing his appearance when he was about to reach the edge of the forest.
Upon making up his mind, Wilbur continued to cultivate. The energy aura around him continued seeping into his body, strengthening it bit by bit. Despite the fact that Wilbur had entered the mirage dimension on Earth and experienced the increased gravity of the middle dimensional, the energy aura had remained the same as it was on Earth. The energy aura on Earth was still far too mild compared to what it was in the middle dimensions. However, the energy aura in the middle dimensions was not something anyone could withstand. Wilbur had adapted his body to the middle dimensions and thus strengthened his physique and cultivation through doing so. Cultivating in such a state only helped him absorb the energy aura at an even faster pace. At the same time, Babbit frowned as he stood before the Azure Dragon Lake in the Reyne family quarters. He heard that the Four Great Families had sealed off all the energy aura in four sources for their own use. Edmund had looked down on this, but he
The next second, however, the energy aura in Edmund's body began to condense in a single spot rapidly. The faint figure of an azure dragon took shape in his chest, letting out a howl as Edmund's body exploded. … All of Edmund's joints were blown apart. There were huge gashes all over his body as blood gushed out, and Edmund promptly fell unconscious. As he had lost his powers, Edmund's real appearance was exposed as he floated on the lake's surface. Felix saw that and was stuck in a dilemma. He knew that this was the perfect opportunity to kill Edmund, as Felix was still at risk of being killed by him as long as he was alive. However, Edmund was now the head of the Reyne family. Besides, this Edmund was just a clone. Edmund's original body was still alive, and pulling such a move might lead the Four Great Families to seek revenge as well. Felix would be captured eventually, and consequently killed. On top of that, this might drag Wilbur down with him as well. Felix did not w
