"Hi, I'm Blossom Luther, and this is my sister, Cherry Luther," said the girl. Wilbur sized them up. They did look alike, and they were both beautiful. "Cherry and Blossom. What cute names you have." Wilbur smiled and nodded. Blossom initiated the conversation and asked, "What do you do for a living?" "I don't have a job yet." Wilbur smiled. Blossom said with a smile, "We're heading to Cape Consortium for an interview. We hope we'll be hired. That would be amazing." "Cape Consortium?" Wilbur was surprised. Blossom nodded and said, "Yeah. Cape Consortium is hiring because they're expanding the business. We are fresh graduates, and we passed the online test. We're just awaiting the interview. It's a major corporation, and the benefits are amazing." "Good luck," said Wilbur with a smile. Blossom wanted to say something else, but Cherry frowned and glared at him. Blossom noticed it and poked her tongue out at her. She did not dare to say anything else. Wilbur smiled. Th
Blossom did not want to let things go just like that, but Cherry dragged her to leave. Meanwhile, there was a sudden flash of lightning and thunder, accompanied by some pitiful screams in a discrete corner. After that, Wilbur slowly walked away with a grin. He did not know where those guys heard about him, but he could not believe they lied about working for him to roam the streets. He had to teach them a lesson. "Ghost! It's a ghost!" "No! That's the God of Thunder, Master Penn!" They screamed horrifically. Wilbur smiled, then hailed a taxi to head straight toward Sealake Island. He took a short rest after returning to Sealake Island. After that, he entered the demiplane. The flame serpent was quietly resting next to the Dragon's Altar. It seemed to be enjoying itself. The flame serpent immediately slithered over when it saw Wilbur. It rubbed its giant head against Wilbur like an obedient pet. Wilbur thought something was strange. He carefully observed the flame
Elsewhere, a person walked slowly out of a canyon, deep within the depths of Mount Orient. That person had silver hair and was dressed in gray robes. His features looked like that of a foreigner. He looked around the canyon for signs of battle. He slowly shut his eyes after some time. An unseen force enveloped the canyon. He could see a huge battle in his consciousness. The vision was slightly blurry, but he could tell what happened. He opened his eyes after a moment and licked his lips. He smiled and said, "They're all so powerful. It seems quite challenging, and the Blood Embryo is also missing. What should I do?" He thought for a long while before slowly going downhill. Meanwhile, Constantine was tending to an injured reindeer with holy light deep in the mountains. He suddenly turned and looked in the direction of the canyon. Constantine scoffed after a moment and said, "You filthy thing. How dare you spy on me?" He watched the reindeer leave after its treatment, joy
Wilbur looked at Eileen. He suddenly smiled after a moment and said, "Please come in." Then, they entered his room. She leaned on the sofa and exclaimed, "The air here is so fresh!" "Thanks. So, what's the secret you wanted to share with me?" Wilbur made her some tea and sat next to her. She took a sip of tea and nodded before saying, "The environment here is great. Your parents should be here too, right?" "No. My parents went missing when I was just a kid. I grew up with my grandfather," Wilbur replied. "Oh, I'm sorry about that," she said. Wilbur laughed it off and said, "I don't think that's much of a secret." She said, "Please don't think too much about the question. Anyway, someone spied on us earlier. You probably know about that, right?" "Are you talking about the guy who used Time Reverse?" he asked. "Yes." He said nonchalantly, "That guy is in Seechertown right now, but I lost track of him. He should be hiding somewhere." "He's likely someone from the Blo
After some time, Eileen sighed and said, "It is a shame, but I will fulfill their dying wish and keep up the good fight." Wilbur did not say anything else, choosing to sip his tea instead. "Considering the situation, we may have to fight alongside each other. Can I stay here temporarily? Staying in a hotel is quite expensive, after all," she asked with a smile. Wilbur looked at her and said, "Sure, but everything here stays a secret." "Of course. I'll follow the rules here strictly," Eileen replied. He nodded and said, "I have a lot of rooms here. You can pick one for yourself." "Thanks. I need my beauty sleep, or my skin will look bad. Goodbye." She stood up and headed outside to look for a room. He let out a long sigh and watched her leave. He mumbled to himself, "They're all so troublesome. What exactly do they want?" He thought about it for a long while and shook his head. He reached for the jade pendant he took from Shawn and held it in his hand. The jade pendant
"Thank you, sir. I'll wait here for you." Gage was clearly relieved. Wilbur hung up and scoffed. Who dared to confiscate his belongings? With that, he went out and drove toward the Eastern Sun District. The Eastern Sun District was a district near Seechertown less than a hundred kilometers away, so he was able to reach there relatively quickly. Wilbur called Gage after arriving in the district and asked for his specific location, then followed his direction all the way to the destination. He arrived at the gates of a chemical factory in the Eastern Sun District and saw more than ten men in security uniforms. They were gathered at the gates, chatting and laughing away. Wilbur got out of his car and approached them. "Hold it. What do you want?" A security guard around his thirties stepped forward and shouted at Wilbur. Wilbur replied, "I'm the owner of this batch of ores. I'm here to retrieve my goods." "Alright. Go on in," the security guard teased smugly. Wilbur ask
They looked at Wilbur and reluctantly sat back down. Buff sipped his tea before calmly explaining, "Young man, you're probably not aware of this. We used to fight our way to the top, but now that I'm older, I don't want blood on my hands anymore. So, you better behave yourself. We can talk this through peacefully. Don't make me resort to violence." Wilbur laughed and said, "Alright. But you're asking me for ten million dollars as compensation. Isn't that too much?" "Too much?" Buff laughed and said, "It's just compensation. I'm not asking you to buy the factory. I'm being nice because you wouldn't be able to leave without paying at least thirty million dollars in the past." Wilbur fell silent for a moment before he said slowly, "It looks like you're quite a tyrant here." "I wouldn't say that, but people respect the name Buff Lestrade, alright?" Wilbur said, "Let me check on my men first. We can negotiate further if they're safe." "Fine. All is well if you're willing to ge
Soon, a sports car slowly drove into the chemical factory. A middle-aged man in his fifties got out of the car. He had a squarish face and he looked intimidating when he was not smiling. Buff and his two companions immediately greeted him when he got out of the car. "Mister Denmark, you have to help me. They dared to hit me on our turf. This is a disrespect to you," said Buff in a sobbing tone. The man who was called Mister Denmark seemed annoyed. He asked, "Why can't you do your job properly? Do I have to clean up your mess every time?" "Mister Denmark, they damaged my factory room and equipment, yet they're unwilling to compensate, and they even beat us up. How are we supposed to make a living if you don't interfere?" Buff whined pitifully. Mister Denmark frowned and said, "That's outrageous. Let's go. Show me who he is." Buff and the others were instantly overjoyed. He led Mister Denmark to his office. The man was Zimmer Denmark, a combat expert in the Eastern Sun Di
