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
Wilbur hurried to explain himself. "Don't panic! I came because of the ore. I even made a deal with your son. We agreed on a price." Chad let out a long sigh of relief. If Wilbur had been like Shane and Yohan, his mines would be gone by now. "I'll give all that ore to you, Master. The only problem is that the Weiss clan took all of it," Chad said, glancing at Shane. Wilbur chuckled. "Is that it? Well, we're going to have to take it back, then! Isn't that right?" Wilbur glanced at Shane, who was still being tormented. The Quad Thunder spell was not just a spiritual forcefield, but it also let out lightning strikes that left a mere Aura level cultivator like Shane hanging on by a thread. He heard Wilbur's words and begged at once, "We'll return them! We'll bring it back to you right away! Please let me go, Master." Wilbur snapped his fingers, and the Quad Thunder spell vanished at once. Shane collapsed onto the ground, his chest heaving as though he was suffocating. "I can
If he was being honest, Chad himself knew that there was much more coming after this. Despite the fact that Wilbur was powerful and had taken down Shane with ease, made Shane agree to hand the ore back over, and even got Yohan to surrender, the Weiss clan would rear back into action the moment Wilbur was gone. What was Chad going to do then? Chad had only said those words to test if Wilbur was willing to help him. Chad himself did not know exactly how powerful Wilbur was, as he had just met the guy. Chad added, "What are we going to do then, Master?" "Don't you worry. I told you I'd fix this for you, and I'm sticking around to the very end. I'm sure the Weiss clan will be here soon. We'll just wait for them." Wilbur knew what Chad was worried about and comforted him at once. He was hellbent on getting that Goldmoon. Chad heaved a sigh of relief at Wilbur's words. "Master, if you really do help my family and I get out of this trouble for good, you can just name your price an
"Yes, sir," Shane said at once. Shawn got to his feet and returned to his bedroom. He changed into a set of green robes and a belt with an ancient-looking jade pendant on it before emerging. Shawn looked like a man from ancient times. Shane could hardly contain his compliments upon seeing Shawn all dressed up. Shawn merely instructed coldly, "Let's go." "Sir, is it just the two of us? Aren't we bringing anyone else along?" Shane said. Shawn glanced at him. "What's the matter? Do you think I won't be strong enough?" "Of course not! I just thought we should bring some people along to cheer for you, sir," Shane hurried to say. Shawn sneered coldly. "Gimmicks are pointless in the presence of real power. Do you understand?" "Yes, sir." Shane nodded profusely. The two men left the house after that, and Shane drove both of them to Chad's house. Just then, Wilbur and Chad had finished up a bottle of whiskey while Wallace and Wendy sat beside them and chatted along. Chad
