"What?" Wilbur could hardly believe his ears. Who would dare to rob something so openly in this day and age? "Who robbed it, and why?" Wilbur asked. Wallace replied impatiently, "What point is there in telling you? I need to get home right now. My old man's been hurt." Wilbur thought to himself for a while. Anyone capable of opening a mine was definitely rich to some extent. How could they just get beaten up like that? There was definitely something else happening here. He said at once, "Let me go back with you. I might just be able to help." "What could you possibly help with? Get off my ass, please." Wallace turned to leave again. Yet Wilbur stopped him once again. "I'll be honest, I'm in dire need of Goldmoon right now. Plus, your dad's been hurt, and your family just got robbed. I'm pretty sure whoever did this was pretty powerful." Wallace stared at Wilbur in a daze, and Wilbur knew he had guessed correctly. "I'll go with you! I'm a really good fighter. I can take on
Wilbur sighed to himself. If these Weisses really were cultivators, there was not much a mere fighter would be able to do. Besides, the Weiss clan had been around for ages. They were bound to have forces all over Taya City, or they would not dare to do such a thing. Wallace's family was rich, but they made all their money from mining. They were nothing in comparison to the Weiss clan. Just like Matt and Gerard's clan, as well as the Owens clan from back then, there had been no one in Seechertown but Wilbur who was capable of taking them down. Wilbur had his sights set on the Goldmoon. He was going to try and talk his way into getting it, and if that didn't work, he had no qualms about using extreme methods. Just like that, they finally arrived in Taya City the next afternoon. Wallace called his father as soon as they were off the freeway, but his expression only dropped even further after getting off the call. "My dad won't let me be a part of this. He's insisting that I co
Very soon, the car arrived at Giftgather Villa. Wilbur and Wallace got out and had Wendy wait in the car. However, Wendy insisted on following them inside. Wallace tried to talk her out of it. "Wendy, this is really dangerous. Please listen to me and don't go in there." "No. I'm going with you. There's no way I'm going to just hide in a car while something happens to your family," Wendy said. Wilbur frowned. If this woman had no ulterior motives here, she really was quite a tough one. Wallace could not argue with her and had no choice but to bring her along. Wilbur chuckled to himself. Wallace did really seem to love Wendy. To think that the son of a billionaire family would let a woman boss him around like this. The three of them arrived at the entrance of the villa and were stopped by the guards. Wallace said at once, "I'm Wallace Lester. I'm here for the negotiations with my father." "What? I wasn't told about you," the guard said. Wilbur said at once, "What's a
Chad let out a sigh. "Just sit down and keep your mouth shut." He did not want his son to be humiliated any further. Wallace was indignant but said nothing else as he sat down near his father with Wilbur and Wendy. Just then, Chad said to the elder, "Sorry, Elder Yale. My son's still a kid. Please don't take it to heart." The elder was none other than Yohan Yale, one of the top dogs of the underground circle in Taya City back then. Yohan smiled. "That's alright. He's a kid, after all." Wallace was in his twenties, and it was true that he was a kid to these older men. Chad sighed to himself. He had built his mining business from nothing and knew that tonight was going to be quite an ordeal. That was why he had stopped his son from coming back. Yet Wallace refused to listen to him and even showed up all the way here. What was he going to do if something happened? As for the so-called expert that Wallace had brought back, Chad hardly even wanted to think about him. Thi
"Mister Lester, don't get too worked up. I'll talk to Wallace," Wendy piped up at once when she noticed Chad's temper. Chad did not have the heart to keep yelling in front of his future daughter-in-law, so he sat back down with a sigh. "Wallace, be good to Wendy. She's far wiser than you, and I'd feel a lot better with her helping you out." Wallace merely nodded. However, Wilbur could sense the implication of Chad's words. It felt like Chad was hinting at passing on his legacy. Chad had probably handpicked this daughter-in-law to help his useless son out, and definitely respected Wendy to a certain degree. Wilbur said, "Mister Lester, cheer up. Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. You've got a better chance at winning if you calm down." "Wow, look at Mister Quotes here!" Yohan smirked at Wilbur. "I'm only letting you sit here because of Mister Lester, so you can shut your mouth. My Giftgather Villa isn't open to just about anyone." Wilbur chuckled and s
What was 30 million and 50 million dollars when compared to 1.2 billion, right? Butler Weiss laughed heartily. "Of course! Since Elder Yale has spoken, who am I to refuse this increment? I'll put in another twenty million dollars." Yohan said no more. He then closed his eyes and began to meditate. Shane was as polite and full of smiles as before, but Chad was seething in rage. He finally realized that the Weiss clan had probably been in cahoots with Yohan from the start, and they were merely putting on an act together. However, Chad came prepared. He took a deep breath and said, "This is ridiculous. I don't think this negotiation is going anywhere. Let's just see each other in court." "In court?" Shane chuckled. "Sure. Barney Weiss is a member of the legal judiciary system. His position isn't very powerful, but he just happens to be in charge of supervising the mining industry. Let's see each other in court." Wilbur could not help but sigh. No wonder the Weiss clan was so
"I'll speak to you however I bloody want! What are you going to do about it?" As Colin spoke, aura surged forth and his hands began to glow. "Aura level, huh?" Shane chuckled. "Kind of funny that you think you're going to get anywhere with just that kind of power." Colin was livid. He had quite a name wandering the world with his bulletproof hands and had never been humiliated like that. "You're going to pay for this with your life!" Colin opened his palms, swinging them in Shane's direction in a fierce attack. The attack was filled with aura and rampant strength, powerful enough to split metal. Nevertheless, Shane merely sidestepped it and avoided Colin's attack easily. Colin missed his attack, but the chair that Shane was sitting on was destroyed. All that was left was a large handprint on the ground. It was clear that Colin was pretty powerful too. However, Shane merely chuckled, beginning to form seals with his hands. Colin turned around, swinging again in Shane
Everyone was shocked upon sensing that surge of energy. Chad and the rest lit up in glee, and even Yohan opened his eyes to look at Toshi. Shane's expression darkened at last, finally growing solemn. Wilbur smiled at Toshi. That guy was rather powerful, but it was a shame he was merely at peak Aura level. Toshi said nothing as he approached Shane. Shane immediately began to cast another spell. Toshi radiated an overwhelming wave of aura as he charged toward Shane, raising his fists that glowed brightly with his aura. "Right on time." Shane seemed to grow more solemn, but he was not letting up in the slightest. He let out a roar, sending three fireballs toward Toshi. Colin had lost to that very move. However, Toshi let out a roar, launching a series of attacks with his fists, crushing the three fireballs once and reducing them to rampant spirit energy flowing around the room. Toshi continued to charge at Shane forcefully. His tall and wide build was enough to make one f
