The province was going to bear down on both of them for disrupting a Department of Paranormal Research and Defense investigation, on top of everything else. Besides, Gibby had a great deal of dirt on those two as well. … Wilbur, Sammy, and Dom finally returned to Seechertown after a whole night of driving. It was past ten in the morning when they arrived at Sealake Island, where Wilbur told Sammy and her brother to get some rest until Wilbur got to breaking Sammy's curse at night. However, Sammy could not wait any longer, and Wilbur had no choice but to relent under the siblings' begging. Wilbur brought both of them to his room. He sat down on the couch before saying, "Have you thought this through? I'm going to need to enter your consciousness and spirit with my spirit energy if I'm going to break your curse. All your secrets and memories will be exposed to me. Are you absolutely sure about this?" "I'm sure. I don't have anything to hide. I just hope you can break my cu
Wilbur raised his eyebrows before barking out a loud laugh. He had just been wondering how he was going to separate this fog from Sammy's spirit flame when the problem had solved itself for him. He stared right at the incoming fog and two silver sparks shot out of his pupils. The sparks shot out, torching the gray fog into oblivion within seconds. There was hardly a trace left. The fog was gone, and so was the curse. Wilbur's work was all done now. The spirit was the most mysterious part of the human body, but also the most fragile and complicated. That was why Wilbur had taken so much care in doing this. Honestly, he had the curse itself to thank for being able to break it so quickly. The curse had an aggressive nature and was prone to attacking all sentient bodies that approached. However, the curse's attack was hardly anything against someone like Wilbur. Upon breaking Sammy's curse, Wilbur slowly exited Sammy's consciousness as he retracted his spirit presence back
Right after Sammy and Dom had left, Wilbur was about to rest when the phone rang. He saw that it was a call from Nancy and hurried to pick it up. "Hello, Nancy! How have you been?" "I'm alright, Wilbur. I know you're a busy man, but there's a gathering tomorrow night with all our classmates. Will you be coming?" "I'll pass this time." Wilbur had lost interest in these gatherings since what happened the last time. Nancy sighed. "I don't want to go either if I'm being honest." "Well, don't go, then!" "I know, but everyone's been giving me hell for it. They're saying I'm all cocky now that I've gotten a promotion at work, I don't feel good turning them down." Wilbur let out a sigh. Sometimes these things could really be beyond one's control. "Well, I guess you'll just have to go, then." "I… I was wondering if you could go with me?" Nancy asked in a feeble tone. Wilbur wanted to say no, but Nancy had been one of the first people to ever show genuine concern for him back
Wilbur sped all the way to Noir Nightclub, barging into room 888. Matt hurried to bow when he saw Wilbur. "Sir, that's the guy!" He pointed to a young man. Wilbur looked over and saw that the guy seemed to be in his twenties. He was a pretty handsome guy, with most of his hair covering half his face. Wilbur then spotted Gerard on the floor and hurried to help him up. He also channeled some spirit energy into Gerard to stabilize his condition. Gerard looked down indignantly. "Sir, we've embarrassed your name." Wilbur said nothing. He glanced at the gamblers before his gaze finally landed back on the young man. "What should I call you?" "Skyler White, King of Thieves," the young man said, taking a drag of his cigar. Wilbur replied coldly. "King of Thieves, huh? That's some big name you got." "Of course." Skyler did not seem humble in the slightest. Wilbur's expression darkened. "You stole in my territory and even attacked others. How dare you still act so smugly!" Sky
Jerome himself was rather fired up as well. "How are you going to pay?" Jerome had a bit of a name in the industry, and those two gamblers could hardly afford to mess with him. With the addition of Skyler, Matt, and the rest, the two gamblers said at once, "We'll follow the rules and pay up three times how much we won." "Is that alright with you, sir?" Jerome looked at Skyler. Skyler replied nonchalantly, "Sure." The two gamblers made the transfer to Skyler at once, apologizing to him once again. Wilbur said, "So, I take it the whole cheating debacle is done with, Skyler White?" "It's done." Wilbur nodded. "Well, what about you stealing in my territory and attacking others when you get caught?" It was the gamblers' fault for cheating, and they deserved to pay up for that. But after that was sorted, the stealing was to be dealt with. Skyler chuckled. "That's just what I do. Besides, I stole from rich people. It's like a Robin Hood situation." "And who were you fee
Splitmove was a technique that allowed the cultivator to travel within short distances in a split second, a very handy and useful technique. This was a type of technique that even Sanctuary level cultivators might not be able to master. However, Wilbur had looked up information on Skyler before this. He was just a beginner Ambience level cultivator. He must have some secrets of his own to be able to master the Splitmove at that stage. Skyler himself was shocked as well. He was a master of Splitmove and had never lost before. However, this man before him had just nullified his attack with just a wave of his arm, all while being able to attack Skyler as well. How had Wilbur been so sure where Skyler was going to travel to? Skyler could not understand the situation at all. Of course, Wilbur understood it fully. Whenever Wilbur got into a battle, he would extend his spirit energy to form an invisible sensor within a one-meter radius around him. That allowed Wilbur to sense
A heavy thump echoed through the room as Skyler felt like his entire system was upended. The spirit energy in his body flowed out uncontrollably, unable to condense at all. It could be said that Wilbur had rendered Skyler unable to fight anymore. The other gamblers stared at them in shock. Skyler was already terrifyingly powerful, but this man was even more so. He had taken Skyler out with just one move, and none of them could understand just how this man had done it. Matt and Gerard were much more relieved upon seeing Skyler taken down, and they turned to the gamblers and owner of the club. "Tell anyone a word of what happened tonight, and we'll have your heads." The owner of the club barely dared to say a word, hurrying off with the other gamblers as they ran out of the club. Jerome drove right home. Whatever happened to the club was out of his control now. He was fine with anything as long as he did not get swept up into this terrifying battle. Just then, Wilbur turned
A cultivator did not usually care much about money, but they did care about precious ancient treasure. That was much, much harder to find compared to money. Cultivation methods, weapons, pills, and antidotes. Anything of that sort was important to a cultivator. Wilbur raised his brows. Who would have thought that something would actually come out of scaring the guy? He fell silent for a brief moment before saying, "Go on. I'm listening." Sensing Wilbur's interest, Skyler crawled up slowly and put on a mysterious expression. "I stumbled across these ancient remains a while back when I went to Jarlinville, but it was sealed shut with a powerful spell. I was afraid I might be getting myself in trouble, so I didn't go in. However, I'm sure you'll be able to do so since you're so powerful! Judging from the spell sealing it shut, I'm sure it's hiding something pretty good." "Heh. You didn't go in, or you weren't able to?" Wilbur mocked. Skyler flushed, saying nothing further. W
