"Understood." Everyone knew well enough just what the Cape was capable of. The Kardon Province branch alone had enough resources and influence to buy out the biggest media platform there was right now. If they were to gather all of Cape's resources in the entire country, there would be few international media brands that would be any match for them. That was why Faye had said those words so firmly. Yet she had more to say. "Send out a warning to the smaller, 'anonymous' news channels as well. If they dare to even post anything about Cape, we'll make sure they disappear from the internet forever." "Got it." "Communications." "Yes." The head of the communications department stood up. Faye said coldly, "Hire whoever it takes to set up a task force to immediately beat down all possible allegations that might surface. Take down any and all comments against Cape and its owner or engage until they die down." "Yes." "Everyone be on standby, right now," Faye ordered. Everyon
Timothy fell silent for a while before saying, "Guess you aren't going to 'fess up." "Nothing happened for me to confess, so why should I?" Wilbur replied. Timothy said, "Two completely opposing statements. One of you has to be lying. You do know that the consequences of lying in a place like this are extremely severe." "I know they're severe, but isn't it up to you to prove who's telling the truth?" Wilbur said. Timothy smirked coldly. "Of course we will, but you'll have to be responsible for what you said." "I know I am. I trust that you're a responsible person who will get to the bottom of this," Wilbur said with a smile. Timothy fell silent. Judging from how cases like this usually went, the women were less prone to lie. That was why he was leaning more towards believing Shelby. But Wilbur seemed extremely calm and confident. He was either really good at keeping his cool, or he was telling the truth. The whole thing was a little complicated. It would require some
"Officer Evans, what do you mean by that?" Faye looked confused. Timothy smirked. "I see that you’ve even got Chief Hemmington involved. The Cape Consortium really is something." "What are you trying to imply? We just happened to run into each other. You're overthinking this," Faye replied with a smile. Timothy was nothing but annoyed. Did she think he was an idiot? It was too much of a coincidence! Chief Hemmington just happened to be running a spot check on his station and also happened to bump into Faye. Bowie even shook her hand voluntarily. Of course, that was supposed to imply something to Timothy. Faye said, "Officer Evans, I'm here to bail Wilbur Penn out on a pending trial." "He can't leave yet," Timothy said coldly. Faye frowned. "Officer Evans, do you know that Cape's legal department has a nickname of its own?" "What nickname?" Timothy said. Faye smiled. "People liked to joke that Cape's legal department is the 'sure winner' of Seechertown. Of course, th
Wilbur smiled. "Timothy's a good sheriff. I'm sure he'll get to the bottom of this." Faye was caught off guard. She was still angry at Timothy, but here Wilbur was calling him a good guy. On second thought, however, it seemed like Timothy had not done anything wrong. He was only doing his own job. Besides, it was perfectly understandable that he was angry at her for trying to threaten him with Bowie. Timothy did, from a professional view, seem like a good cop. Wilbur said to Faye, "Alright, you should go to work. I told you that the truth will come out in the end and lies will never stand the test of justice." Faye could only nod, then left for Cape. There were all these people over there, including herself, who could not rest just yet. She had to plan out the next step, and it was not the time to rest yet. Over at Willow Corp. Yvonne sat in her office, feeling like she was at her wit's end. Willow Corp had been bombarded with messages from banks in the past two days, all
Miranda felt a little guilty but refused to budge. "What? He broke the law and got arrested. How is that anyone else's fault?" Yvonne looked at her mother and shook her head. "You still don't understand just how powerful he truly is. If it really was you, you'd better apologize right now and clear things up. That way, the Willow family might still be able to survive this." "I did nothing. I had nothing to do with this!" Miranda said hurriedly, turning to leave at once. Regardless, Yvonne was certain that her mother had been the one to arrange for this to happen. She knew what her mother was like, and it was going to be almost impossible to get her to admit to her faults. Yvonne let out a long sigh, falling back in her seat limply. The Willow family was going to be done for. Wilbur put all these worries and troubles at the back of his head and drove to the morning market a few kilometers from the house. It was barely nine in the morning, and the market was still open. The
Wilbur smiled at her in response before driving off. Faye turned to look at the table full of food. She was starving just a second ago but had somehow lost her appetite. Wilbur drove for a short while and arrived at Sealake Island. Sealake Island was a resort villa that the Owens family had spent a few hundred million dollars on building. An island was built in the middle of a lake, equipped with hotels and entertainment spots. It was quite a popular tourist destination in Seechertown. Wilbur parked his car outside, then walked along the bridge. Just then, there were around a dozen people sitting in the square in the middle of Sealake Island. There was one chair in the middle, occupied by a man in his sixties. His eyes were bright, flickering with traces of spirit energy. He was the head of the Owens family, Jeremy Owens. Standing behind him were his two sons, Ian and John. On his left and right were the other two major clans of Seechertown, the Torrent clan, and the
Wilbur looked around him. All that could be seen was the crowd staring back at him, clearly unimpressed. It was as if they were certain he was destined to die. His gaze then landed on John. "That was a pretty decent aura blow. I suppose it's a little impressive." Gerard stood up at once, pointing at Wilbur. "How cocky! You're saying that an aura blow is only a little impressive? And what level would you happen to be at, hm?" "Me?" Wilbur shook his head. "I'm not too sure about that myself." Matt spoke up then. "That's quite a boast you just made. John, don't waste your time. Send him straight to hell." John smirked, slowly walking towards Wilbur. Wilbur frowned. "John, don't ruin your future like this." "You're out of your mind," John retorted angrily, and everyone else flared up in anger as well. It was clear that Wilbur had no respect for the three clans at all, daring to say something like that in such a dire situation. All at once, the air was filled with various
Compared to John, Jeremy was a lot stronger and more skilled than his son. His aura alone was something that John was not capable of. The sight of Jeremy's powers led the three clans to burst into cheers once again. Wilbur's expression remained unchanged as he silently looked at Jeremy. Jeremy's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He leaped into the air, pouncing at Wilbur like a hawk. As he landed, countless afterimages of his punches appeared in the air, raining down on Wilbur. All at once, the air began to whip and grow misty with smoke and sand. Wilbur kept one hand behind his back, the other making a series of patterns in the air as he countered Jeremy's every attack, disintegrating each blow into nothing. Jeremy was furious. He landed on the ground, launching attack after attack at Wilbur. His punches barreled toward Wilbur from all directions, but Wilbur still managed to neutralize them with only one hand. Jeremy's fierce attacks had not sent Wilbur a single step back
Faye was clad in a beautiful wedding dress, hardly needing any blusher for how red her cheeks looked. Wilbur was also looking dapper in a fine tuxedo, and the bride and groom went around toasting to their friends one by one. Both their parents were overjoyed, knowing that their children had finally ended up with someone so wonderful. Everyone else was also brimming with smiles, drinking up a storm as the night went on. These people were all friends or subordinates of Wilbur and wanted nothing more than the best for him and Faye. There was no wedding emcee, and the ceremony was extremely simple, but the atmosphere was incomparable as everyone was nothing but smiles. The reception lasted all the way until late into the night, and even the newlyweds' parents got a little tipsy. The banquet ended at last, and the guests ushered Wilbur and Faye into their new bedroom. The newlyweds sat down facing each other, locking eyes. Faye lowered her head bashfully, and Wilbur looked
It was evening on Sealake Island when Wilbur returned. He stood on the long bridge, overwhelmed with emotion as he let out a hint of his aura. The island grew abuzz at once, and a series of familiar figures fought their way into Wilbur's line of sight. Wilbur smiled, stepping onto the island slowly. His smile grew as he came to the square, taking in the sight of Faye, Elsa, Faron, Shepard, and many others. Everyone else stared back at him, unable to hide the emotion on their faces. It had been so long since they had seen Wilbur, and there was no way for them to reach him. Words could not describe how much they had worried about and missed him. "I thought you were never coming back, Wilbur." Faye was the first to speak. Wilbur walked up to her, taking her into his arms. "I'm sorry. It'll never happen again. Everything's over now, and I'll never leave you again." Faye's heart soared as she broke out into overjoyed sobs. Everyone else was nothing but joyous as well. Fo
Bahamut, being a reincarnation of Kaiser himself, came slithering toward Wilbur. They both turned into their human forms, and a fierce battle broke out once more. Kaiser channeled his energy into Bahamut's body, giving Bahamut the upper hand over time. At last, Bahamut severely wounded Wilbur with a blow of his sword, causing Wilbur to fall from mid-air. "Hahaha!" Kaiser appeared suddenly then, laughing loudly. "Nice work, Bahamut." "Thank you, Master." Bahamut retreated behind Kaiser, looking at him coldly. He whipped out a dagger from his sleeves all of a sudden, driving it deep into Kaiser. Kaiser flipped around sharply, grabbing Bahamut's wrist and glowering at him. "Have you lost your mind?" Just then, the Dark Lord's voice sounded from Bahamut's throat. "You've stopped me many times now, Kaiser Fern! There's no way in hell I'll let you become the ultimate elite!" A furious Kaiser reached out to grab Bahamut's head, sucking him into his body. An explosion sounded throu
Just then, the Cold Lord muttered a spell. A series of snowy mountains descended from above, one of them striking Wilbur and Augheimer as the Cold Lord cackled. "Haha! Is that all you've got?" As his words rang through the air, the snowy mountain exploded with a loud boom into countless icy fragments to reveal Wilbur and Augheimer, standing tall and completely unaffected. "What?" "These imbeciles!" the Flame God shouted. The air around turned into a sea of flames at once, burning away relentlessly, but they vanished as soon as they came in contact with Wilbur and Augheimer's defense barriers. The Earth God shouted, "I'll settle this!" He muttered a spell, and the ground cracked open as Wilbur and Augheimer fell into a bottomless abyss. The Earth God smirked, and the crack began to close up. Yet just a few seconds later, the ground exploded as Wilbur and Augheimer flew back up. The Tornado God cast a spell to bring about a fierce gust of wind filled with countless razor-sh
The next second, Wilbur's Magic Dragon Blade made a gash in the air. The two men then wove through the gash, making their way to the lower dimensions from the upper dimensions and returning to Earth. The gash closed itself up, and a powerful wave of black miasma surged into the oceans from the heavens. It cleared up within a few minutes, and Earth was turned into a dark space. Several big fissures appeared in the heavens as the evil gods descended on Earth. The Blood God, the God of Destruction, the Cold Lord, the Flame God, the Earth God, the Tornado God, the God of Bloodlust, and the Snake God—all eight evil gods had descended upon Earth at the same time. Wilbur summoned the broken pieces of the Light Armor from the Fire Dragon Ring. The pieces radiated a white glow as they hovered in mid-air, and Wilbur quickly used his mind to put them together before wearing the Light Armor on his body. "Hahaha!" The Blood God laughed loudly. "I guess the universe dimensions aren't all
Hailey and Kayleen ducked out of the way before the pillars of light reached them, darting up to Sade at the last second as Hailey drove her sword into him at the same time Kayleen did the same with her spear. Hailey glowered at Sade. "You're the one who's really despicable here, Sade. Say goodbye to the world forever!" "Arghhhh!" Sade's body exploded in a flash of white light, disappearing out of sight. Hailey and Kayleen both got down on one knee. "At your service, Masters." Just then, Wilbur and Augheimer looked at the two ladies at the same time. Augheimer said, "At ease. You can both go back now, your work here is done." "Yes, Master." Hailey and Kayleen disappeared the next second. Just then, a fierce wind rolled over as a pillar of white light descended from the heavens as Odysseus appeared in front of the two men. "Wilbur Penn and Augheimer. I’ve finally found you. Tell me where the dimension guardians are, and hand them over!" A gleeful Odysseus reached out t
Sade threw his head back, laughing loudly. "No one has the right to replace me, no one! I'm the real dimensional guardian, the leader of the galaxy!" Just then, two figures appeared in the sky. They were Hailey and Kayleen, two of the other dimensional guardians. Hailey was holding a long sword as she scowled at Sade below her. "You went against the rules of the universe and changed its functions, Sade. And now you've killed Wilbur Penn, the cultivator who was supposed to replace you. For that, Kayleen and I are going to kill you today." Sade smirked at those words, not looking shocked at all. "I knew you two would never let me go for killing Wilbur. But he's already dead, and I still need to maintain order in the universe as a dimensional guardian. Even though you two may hate me, you can't kill me or you'd be going against the rules of the universe too, and have to be sentenced by Mister Richardson. Trust me, you won't end up in much better of a state than I'm in." Just then
Augheimer asked out of confusion, "What? To the upper dimension? All of a sudden?" Wilbur looked flustered, he replied, "There's no time to explain. Odysseus will be here in a while, and we won't be able to escape." Sade looked at Wilbur. He told Augheimer, "He's right. Believe him. Why would your close friend lie to you?" "That's right. He's a dimensional guardian, Sade. I begged Sade to go back in time here. Hurry up and come with me, Augheimer!" "Thanks, but if we're leaving, we should at least go to Buck Town and meet Felix one last time, right?" asked Augheimer. Wilbur looked at Augheimer in the eyes, there was a sense of familiarity that welled up all of a sudden. Wilbur instantly realized Augheimer had a secret in Buck Town, and perhaps it was very important to Augheimer. He helplessly nodded and replied, "Alright, we'll go to Buck Town first." Then, the three of them came to Buck Town through a transportation array. Augheimer grabbed Wilbur and ran. He said, "Run! F
"Damn it! Your second wish was supposed to be mine!" yelled Odysseus. Odysseus once captured a dimensional guardian's servant by chance, and he used him as leverage to obtain his final two wishes. His first wish was for Sade to guide him to the most powerful power of light spell. His second wish was for Sade to lead him to the Death Scepter. Odysseus mastered the power of two types of laws, the power of light and the power of death. He quickly grasped the intricacies of the power of death due to his unique talent. Odysseus wielded the might of both supreme spells with the Death Scepter and the most powerful power of light spell. Therefore, Odysseus gained immense confidence. His capabilities far surpassed most upper dimension cultivators, but he remained in the middle dimension. His desire was to once again capture a second dimensional guardian servant. Odysseus planned to acquire the Death Cloak by obtaining the servant's wish. Ultimately, he would combine the Death Cloak, D
