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
Wilbur turned around and saw that Liam, standing nearby, was already dumbfounded, his expression filled with horror. "They… They actually sent someone to attack at night! Trevor, how did you know Dubond would send someone?" Hearing this, Wilbur's lips curled into a slight smile as he replied, "Lord Liam, I once heard in a tavern about the Warren family's leader, Dubond. People say that Dubond is ruthless and never leaves anyone a chance. Although Eugene retreated, I was certain he would still send someone else. And sure enough, he sent Fred." "Yes, that's true. Dubond is indeed a cruel man." Liam nodded, then suddenly looked puzzled and said, "But wait, if Dubond was going to send someone, he should have sent Eugene and Fred together. Why did only Fred come, and not Eugene?" "I don't know, but don't worry, Lord Liam. You can all rest well for the next few days. Leave the matters of the Warren and Andrew families to me." "And what about you?" "I will take this time to cultiv
Dubond and Fred were escorted to the grand hall by the guards. After waiting for a short while, Bruno Andrew strolled in, smiling from afar as he said, "Lord Dubond, it's been almost a month since we last met, hasn't it?" Dubond looked at Bruno with a smile and replied, "Lord Bruno, I've been waiting for quite some time." Bruno took Dubond by the hand, and the two walked up to the center of the hall. Bruno said, "I've heard that the Robert family has a new dragon clan cultivator, and even Fred couldn't defeat him. You've come here because of that, haven't you?" "Indeed, I've come for exactly that reason." "So, you want me to send someone to help you, to join forces and eliminate this dragon clan cultivator, correct?" Dubond nodded and said, "Lord Bruno, do you remember our agreement? Back then, I promised you a million gold coins to drive the Robert family into a desperate situation. But now…" Bruno suddenly interrupted Dubond, saying, "Lord Dubond, I already sent people to
Now, with only one talisman practitioner remaining in the Warren family, if the Robert family were to be destroyed, only the Warren and Andrew families would remain among the nine great families. A conflict between the two families would be inevitable. For the past two years, Dubond had focused all his attention on dealing with the Robert family, neglecting the potential threat posed by the Andrew family. Today, Eugene's escape and Bruno's words made Dubond realize this. Therefore, Dubond did not want to wait until the next day. He intended to take Stilwell and Lawson to the Robert family's residence that very night. Once there, he planned to have Stilwell and Lawson take the lead in the battle. This time, Trevor would surely die, and even if Stilwell and Lawson survived, they would be severely injured. However, based on Fred's understanding of Dubond, he estimated that in the upcoming battle, one of the two, Stilwell or Lawson, would likely die. After all, only by doing so cou
"Hahaha!" Seeing this, Dubond threw his head back and laughed, his face full of excitement as he said, "Trevor, it seems your strength isn't all that impressive. I thought even with the four of us joining forces, we might not be able to defeat you. But now, it looks like you'll surely fall into our hands today." Wilbur staggered as he stood up from the rubble, clutching his abdomen, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing the remnants of the talisman on his abdomen, Wilbur was deeply shocked. He had never taken a direct hit from a talisman cultivator before. Now, after taking a blow, he realized just how powerful the attacks of talisman cultivators could be. Gritting his teeth, he said, "It seems I underestimated you all this time. But now, I won't make that mistake again." With that, Wilbur's figure flickered as he charged at Dubond with his Magic Dragon Blade. Seeing this, Dubond tossed out a talisman, which quickly spun in the air, forming a gray defensive wall. When Wilbu
