Skyler scoffed. He darted into the crowd, throwing punches left and right. Within a few minutes, all the assailants had collapsed to the ground crying out in pain. The man was at a loss for words, staring at Skyler in a daze. Skyler was already making his way towards the man. "What the f*ck is wrong with you, man? Can't you mind your own business at a cafe? I'll be damned if I don't beat the shit out of people like you." The man clearly panicked after seeing what Skyler had done and turned to run right away while shouting, "Just you wait! More people will be coming!" Skyler was about to go after him when Wilbur called out for him to come back. "Dude, are you seriously just letting him leave like that?" Skyler asked. Wilbur said, "I think he really has got more people coming, so let's just wait. I'm worried this cafe won't be able to stay open until we've taken down all of them." Skyler nodded, then sat back down next to Wilbur to eat. Just then, the cafe owner stared at S
Wilbur smiled. "No, that's not it. I just don't want the stuff in here to be broken. You can fight outside." "You really do have a f*cking death wish, don't you?" Howard was livid, waving a hand to signal his men to charge at Skyler. These men were clearly different from Ed's men. They were much better fighters and knew how to plan their attacks. Skyler got to his feet, making his way to the men in the blink of an eye. He threw a few punches and sent the thugs flying into the wall, who then collapsed to the ground, clearly suffering from internal injuries. Howard was shocked. By then, Skyler had walked up to him. Skyler picked Howard up and hurled him out of the cafe. Before Howard could even react, Skyler had started throwing slap after slap to his face. Howard was slapped into a stupor at once, not knowing what just happened. About 15 or so slaps later, Skyler stopped and straightened back up. "Truly hilarious. Why is someone like you trying to play the hero?" Wilbur
Howard walked up to the man in a suit at once, whispering in his ear. The man in a suit looked around the cafe and slowly made his way over. "The real boss is here. He's an Aura level cultivator. Do a good job, Skyler," Wilbur chuckled. Skyler laughed. "Don't worry, Boss. I'll handle this Aura level bastard." Skyler did not seem to pay any mind to the man in the suit, and Wilbur himself was rather disappointed. The most powerful man in Lincoln City was merely an Aura level cultivator. The man in the suit sat down at Wilbur and Skyler's table. His bodyguards stood behind him, followed by a furious and injured Howard by the side, glaring at Wilbur. "How should I address you two gentlemen?" The man in the suit asked politely. Skyler chuckled. "Skyler White. This is my boss, Wilbur Penn." The man in the suit said. "I see. It's nice to meet you. I heard you beat my men up, so I thought I'd come over and have a look. I'll be sure to have them apologize if they did anything wron
Howard saw the dazed look on Wilbur and Skyler's faces and smiled murderously. "Shaking in your boots now? The Anne family isn't to be messed with, and you're going to pay for what you've done." Wilbur looked at the man in the suit. "What's your name?" "Tenson Anne," said the man. He stuck out two of his fingers, and the bodyguards behind him hurried up to place a cigar between the fingers and lit it up with a specialized lighter. Wilbur cracked up at the sight, then glanced at Howard. "His last name is Zemek. I'm pretty sure he isn't part of the Anne family." "Yes, but he's one of my men," Tenson said calmly. Wilbur sat back down, and Skyler did the same. There was a strange smile on Skyler's face. "Say, does your family know about these men you have here in Lincoln City?" Wilbur asked. Tenson chuckled. "I support my clan financially, and that should be enough. Even my clan leader doesn't question what I do. They even gave me their full support. That's just how a clan wo
Wilbur scoffed and turned to Skyler. "Break him." Since this man was still being so cocky, there was no point in negotiations anymore. Skyler had been waiting for orders to strike and got to his feet at once. The two bodyguards behind Tenson shouted, charging toward him. Skyler punched twice and sent the bodyguards collapsing to the ground with a dull thud. He then turned to Tenson, walking over slowly. Tenson's expression darkened, and his aura surged forth from his body as he raised his hands to strike at Skyler's neck and ribs. The two moves would be fatal if they connected. However, Skyler used Splitmove and Tenson lost sight of his target immediately. He reeled in shock, realizing that he was going against an expert. Skyler appeared behind Tenson right after, landing a heavy blow squarely on his back. Tenson coughed up a mouthful of blood as he went flying, knocking into tables and chairs on the way. Skyler followed closely behind him, grabbing one of Tenson's ar
Tenson was scared out of his wits. He could hardly believe that Wilbur was acquainted with his clan leader and that his clan leader treated Wilbur with so much respect too. It was clear to Tenson from Sam's tone alone that Wilbur was no ordinary man. His clan leader was definitely no match for Wilbur either, especially with him addressing Wilbur as 'senior'. How did Sam and Wilbur know each other, though? Also, there was the clan elder who was a Sanctuary level cultivator! How could he tolerate Sam addressing Wilbur like that? Tenson felt like his heart fell into a chasm, but he was still unwilling to relent as he shouted, "Master Sam, I've done nothing but pour my heart and soul into supporting the Anne family financially! You can't do this to me! Tell Elder Weston to come to the phone, I'm going to kill this guy!" "How dare you, Tenson?" Sam was able to guess what had happened from Tenson's tone alone. This bastard must have gotten himself into trouble, going against Wilb
Sam scoffed and ordered Tenson to be taken back to Anne Village at once so someone could replace him. Sam then comforted and apologized to the cafe owner. He paid for all the losses incurred and added on a huge sum of money before promising that nothing like this would ever happen again. The cafe owner stared at the hundred thousand dollars in his account blankly. The cafe was not even worth a hundred thousand dollars. What just happened? At last, he let out a long sigh as he remembered Wilbur's words from earlier. What an amazing person he must be. … It was evening by the time Wilbur and Skyler returned to Sealake Island. Wilbur's first order of business upon getting back was finding an empty space in the bamboo forest. He then took out the piece of land with the spirit sap from his demiplane and planted it into the empty space, with the flame tree and the spirit sap in the middle. The spirit sap was preserved perfectly, seeping into the garden slowly. Faron, Elsa,
Wilbur frowned. "As the spirit sap and these plants begin to let out spirit aura, others will eventually notice it, which isn't a good thing." Everyone else nodded. It would be hard to keep the peace here if anyone were to know about something so precious. Wilbur continued, "So, I'm going to need something to lay down a formation that seals the spirit aura in here. That way, the spirit aura will only grow more powerful here and it'll also be undetectable to anyone outside." "That's a great idea!" The crowd nodded. "However, I'm going to need some incredibly hard material to make this formation. It needs to be hard enough to withstand the spirit energy of the spells I'm going to carve into it. Keep an eye out for things like that," Wilbur said. Faron frowned. "What are we looking for?" "Maybe something like ancient jade, the kind that's been around for over a thousand years," Wilbur said. Everyone else was in shock at once. How on earth were they supposed to find something
