"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
Spells required chants or seals, and some of the more powerful spells required both. Considering the distance between Shane and Toshi, as well as Toshi's speed, Shane would not have the time to cast any spells. Chad was ecstatic. It seemed like the money he spent hiring Toshi was well spent, and Shane was going down. Yohan was surprised as well, hardly able to believe Toshi was powerful enough to even withstand an attack like the Infernal Arrow. Toshi's fist was high in the air, swinging down on Shane. With Shane's build, Toshi's attack was enough to crush him without any chance of survival. Yohan shouted at once, "Stop!" However, it was too late for Toshi to stop the attack, and he had no intention of listening to Yohan either. The attack came down swiftly and hard. At the very last second, Shane reached into his pockets and took out a small scroll. He ripped it open, and a wave of fire shot out toward Toshi. Toshi was not prepared for this move at all as he thought
Wallace and Wendy helped Chad onto the nearest chair at once in a fit of terror. It was only then that they realized how dangerous the situation was, and that people like this still existed. Chad took a deep breath and turned to Yohan as a last resort. "Elder Yale, you're one of the most respected people in Taya City, and my last hope. Please say something here. I've agreed to give up this mine. Isn't asking for all the mines a bit too much?" Chad knew that Yohan was in cahoots with the Weiss clan. However, that was his last resort, and he could only hope that Yohan spoke up for him so that he would not lose everything. Nevertheless, Yohan let out a sigh. "Chad, it's clear who has the upper hand here. You're better off saying yes than losing your life." Yohan's words made Chad cough out another mouthful of blood, thoroughly losing all hope. What else could he possibly do? Was he going to have to die here too? Just then, Shane smirked. "You should have just said yes in t
Wilbur's words exposed Yohan's true intentions fully and Yohan's face flushed as he pointed at Wilbur angrily. Yet before Yohan could speak, Wilbur piped up again, "Actually, I'd just run into one of these pillars here and die from the concussion. You sure are a greedy piece of shit considering how old you are. What would you need the money for? Is it to keep you company in your grave?" "You!" Yohan exploded with rage at Wilbur's words, spitting out a mouthful of blood as his hand that was pointing at Wilbur began to tremble. Wilbur barked out a laugh, turning back to Shane. "And you! You're no better than a watchdog, barking just because you've got a powerful owner! I would've broken your legs if you worked for me and thrown them into a lake instead of letting you out, yipping and yapping at others like that." Wilbur put his hands behind his back after he was done, looking around the hall. Chad had collapsed back onto his chair in hopelessness then. It was going to be hard
Wilbur put his hands behind his back and walked up to Shane. Shane was held down by the Quad Thunder spell completely, the thunder strikes lashing down on his body like cane strokes as he howled in agony. "How does that feel, hm?" Wilbur did not need to perform seals or chants to cast beginner to mid-tier spells anymore. It could be said that he could pull them out of thin air, greatly improving his combat prowess. At the same time, Shane and Yohan were scared out of their wits. Wilbur had cast something so terrifying with just a snap of his fingers. How did someone so terrifying exist? At the same time, everyone else was at a loss for words. Even Shane's bodyguards were shocked, not even coming up to help Shane. Shane felt as though his soul left his body, staring at Wilbur in terror and unable to say another word. Wilbur smirked, shouting at Yohan, "Get over here, you old geezer! Are you waiting for an invitation?" Yohan was shaking uncontrollably, but walked up to
