After ten years had passed, Wilbur and Felix emerged from the mirror dimension just as Grote arrived with his men. Through conversation, Wilbur learned that during these ten years, Grote had developed his own faction. Accompanied by the others, Wilbur arrived at the square. The guards overseeing the teleportation array knelt in reverence upon seeing Grote. Grote commanded, "Enough, rise. Activate the teleportation array and send Lord Wilbur to Tevinter Town." "Yes, Lord Grote." "Master, when will you return after heading to Tevinter Town?" Felix asked. Wilbur replied, "I’ll return once I’ve dealt with the matters in Tevinter Town." In truth, Wilbur wasn't sure how long he would stay in Tevinter Town, but he hoped to encounter Conrad and Edmund there. When that time came, Wilbur planned to kill them himself to eliminate any future threats. As a burst of white light shot up, completely separating Wilbur from the others, he altered his appearance. After all, the last inciden
However, no one had ever witnessed such a swift battle in Tevinter Town before. In less than five seconds, the challenger was slain by the defender, a result that starkly demonstrated the vast difference in their abilities. Among the crowd, someone exclaimed in shock, "That foolish guy… He actually dared to provoke a Senior Guard." "He deserved to die," another person added. Although Wilbur had intended to keep a low profile upon arriving in Tevinter Town, trying his best to avoid being noticed, the sudden confrontation was beyond his control. This battle was unavoidable, but since it had happened, there was no need for regret. Wilbur's left hand formed a claw, and with a forceful pull, the large blade that had fallen from the red-haired man was drawn into his hand. Wilbur coldly remarked, "Since you were so arrogant, this blade is mine now." Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wilbur took the blade and entered a shop where he sold it for fifty gold coins. He then headed to a
At the Robert family estate, in the courtyard, the family head, Liam Robert, was pacing back and forth, anxiously waiting. Hadirt's death had been so sudden, but it was the result of his excessive arrogance. In truth, Liam had long known that a battle among the nine great families was inevitable. He just had not expected Hadirt to meet his end so soon. Although Liam had always been compliant with the other eight families, the ambition for power and fame among them had long been uncontrollable. Under such circumstances, it was remarkable that the Robert family had managed to hold on. Six of the nine families had already been wiped out, leaving only the Warren, Andrew, and Robert families. Liam did not care for fame or power. He had even once offered to hand over the Robert family’s honors to the Warren family. However, this offer had been rejected, and the Warren family had insisted on sending two talisman cultivators to challenge the Robert family’s dragon clan cultivator. Acco
Liam frowned as he looked at Layton, who, due to his severe injuries, was struggling to breathe and barely able to speak. Seeing this, Liam could only try to comfort him, saying, "It's alright, Layton. I believe you. Don't worry, don't speak." At that moment, a servant came running in from outside, saying, "My lord, there's a cultivator outside who calls himself Trevor Penn and requests to see you. He says he wishes to pay his respects to Layton and hopes for your permission." "Trevor Penn?" Liam frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "I don't know anyone by the name of Trevor. Tell him to leave. Layton won't see him." "Yes, my lord." "No! Don't go! Wait, come back!" Seeing Layton trying to speak, Liam quickly called the servant back. Layton grasped Liam's hand and nodded firmly. Although puzzled, Liam finally said, "Alright, go and bring him in." "Yes, my lord." After the servant left, Liam looked at Layton and asked, "Layton, do you know this Trevor?" After
Upon hearing this, Liam's eyes widened as he looked at Wilbur as if seeing a savior. Layton, excited, said, "Good, with your help, the Robert family should no longer face danger. However, I fear my time is short. Uncle Liam, could you step out for a moment? I’d like to speak with Trevor alone." "Alright, you two talk." Understanding the situation, Liam discreetly left the room. Inside the room, Layton looked at Wilbur and smiled slightly, saying, "I know your name isn't Trevor. Your real name is Wilbur, the one who killed Lord Hadirt." Wilbur was taken aback and asked, "Layton, how did you know?" "Heh, it might sound unbelievable, but three thousand years ago, I had a chance encounter with a dimensional guardian. Because I helped him with a few things, he revealed the future of the Robert family to me. Back then, my father owed Uncle Liam a favor, which I've now repaid. But after living with the Robert family for thousands of years, I've grown attached to them. The dimensiona
Everyone turned toward the voice and saw Wilbur step out from the crowd, his face cold as he looked at Eugene. At the same time, Wilbur released the dragon energy within him. Eugene's expression changed immediately, and he said, "How is this possible? Who are you? You're a dragon clan cultivator too? Do you intend to oppose both the Warren and Andrew families?" Wilbur replied coldly, "I don't wish to oppose the two families, but if the Warren and Andrew families want to destroy the Robert family, then I'm sorry. Whoever comes, I, Trevor Penn, will kill them!" "You!" Eugene angrily retorted, "You have quite the mouth. Let me see if you truly have the strength to defend the Robert family." Eugene had been sent by the Warren family to wipe out the Robert family, assuming that with Layton dead, there was no one left to challenge him. He thought it would be an easy task to slaughter the Robert family and burn their estate to the ground. However, the sudden appearance of Trevor cau
With a heavy thud, Eugene fell to his knees and said, "My lord, I apologize. I failed to complete the task." "What?" Dubond opened his eyes and looked at the kneeling Eugene, frowning. "Eugene, you've disappointed me. Layton is dead, and the Robert family is now defenseless. I sent you to eliminate the Robert family, but instead, you defied my orders." As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in Dubond's eyes. He angrily added, "What use do I have for you?" "No, my lord, please let me explain. Layton may be dead, but the Robert family has gained a new dragon clan cultivator named Trevor Penn. I don't know how, but he's now part of the Robert family. I used the talisman to conceal myself and fought him, but he instantly saw through it and forced me back with a single strike. I can't defeat him alone. However, if you allow Fred to accompany me, I think…" Before Eugene could finish, Dubond suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbing his throat and lifting him off the ground. He coldly
"No need!" Dubond gritted his teeth, understanding that Eugene was determined to escape, even at the cost of his life. Even if Fred managed to track him down in Walker Town, a fierce battle would surely ensue between them, and the outcome would likely be Eugene's death and Fred being seriously injured. Dubond knew that Eugene was well aware of the consequences of his escape. It was a fate worse than death, filled with pain and despair. Thus, Dubond knew Eugene would not return. Rather than risking Fred's injury, Dubond decided it was better to have him test Trevor. Dubond understood that if the enemy were not extremely powerful, Eugene would not have fled. Therefore, Eugene's escape only confirmed that Trevor was a formidable cultivator. As Dubond and Fred headed back, Dubond instructed, "Fred, go to the Robert family estate immediately and gather information for me. I want to know just how strong this Trevor really is." "Yes, my lord." "And remember, don't engage in a dea
