At last, Joel finished letting out his anger and collapsed onto the sofa as his chest heaved.

A long while later, he seemed to calm down enough as he lit a cigarette and fell deep into thought.

Eventually, he called out, "Jar!"

Jar Wattmen, Joel's secretary, hurried inside from where he had been hiding, trembling from head to toe. "Yes, Mister William? What can I do for you?"

"Call Borghetti. Tell him I need to see him. It's urgent," said Joel.

Jar immediately whipped out his phone and did as he was told.

Joel's expression was ashen then as he fumed, "How dare you do this to me, Maniac. Well, I won't be playing nice either. Don't fault me for that."

Just then, over at a random building.

A crowd of property owners was gathered in front of the sales department, protesting at the top of their lungs and waving flags demanding that their properties be handed over to them on time and their losses be compensated.

It had been three years overdue, and none of the property owners had re

    Soon enough, tens of thousands of workers stormed into the control room. They immediately displaced the guards and the supervisor was beaten to a pulp and almost thrown off the top floor.This happened at every single factory and company owned by Viewspring Corp, to the point they were almost in complete disarray.…That evening.An Audi A6 was parked by a lake on the outskirts of town.A Bentley S500 drove over to it, and out emerged Joel William. He walked up to the Audi, bowing to the back window.The window of the Audi lowered by half.Joel immediately spoke up, "Mister Borghetti, I'm sure you know about everything that's been happening to the company lately.""I'm not too clear on the details.""It's that bastard, Maniac. He hired some people to screw us over. My company's in shambles right now.""Screw you over? How?""He's been digging up certain matters. They're asking for the units they've paid for, my workers are on a strike, insisting they get a pay raise and comp

    Maniac cast a look of disdain at Joel. "They're someone you can't afford to mess with. This isn't something you can pay your way out of, so forget about it."Joel flew to his feet when he heard that. His tone was sharp as he said, "I'm not scared of you, Maniac! I could hold you down back then and I still can.""It's true that you used to be able to hold me down." Maniac got to his feet, staring right at Joel. "But you're dead this time and you're paying in your own blood. Got it?"Joel paused for a while before saying, "This is about Ethan Osborn, isn't it?""No comment." Maniac leaned back in his chair, taking another sip of whiskey.Joel sneered. "Don't you forget about Mister Taft, Maniac. You're an idiot if you think you can run Anya City with him around."Joel turned to leave after that. Maniac's expression shifted slightly.After Joel was gone, Haley asked softly, "Who's Mister Taft? Is he really powerful?"Maniac got to his feet, pacing to and fro in the office before s

    However, Wilbur merely smiled. "It doesn't matter who he is. Anyone who stands in the way of me taking Joel William down and avenging my brother will have to pay the price. Perhaps it might even be with their life."Maniac nodded. "I'll do my best. Don't worry.""You can go now. And don't worry about it. You're working for me now, so no one's going to hurt you.""Thank you, Sir."Maniac bowed and left the hotel. He stood at the curb, his expression dark. "I'm putting my life on the line for this. Guess that's fate."At the same time, Joel's car arrived at the foot of a mountain far on the outskirts of Anya City.There was a moderately-sized villa there, with the name of the place written on the door."Pureheart Villa."Joel got out of his car and promptly fell to his knees in front of the villa as he shouted, "Mister Taft! It's Joel William. I need to see you, Sir."Not long after, a man in his forties walked out with a frown. "Do you know where you are? It's the middle of the

    Mister Taft fell silent for a while before saying, "What's the matter?""Mister Taft, the company my father founded is on the brink of collapse. Please, Mister Taft. I need your help.""I don't know how to run a business.""Let me explain, Mister Taft. It's Maniac. He's been taking over Anya City and doing whatever he wants to ever since you went into solitude to cultivate. My son was just beaten to death, so I sent his killer to prison. However, Maniac's been using that as an excuse to attack me, and I'm now on the verge of bankruptcy. Please help me, Mister Taft. I've been incredibly wronged.""Is that so?""Yes, it is. There wasn't much Maniac could do to me before, but I think he's got someone supporting him in secret this time. Even the authorities are staying out of this. Maniac's been wreaking havoc everywhere he goes and taking advantage of his power as an Aura level cultivator. I don't know what else I can do.""Aura level? Ha ha ha ha!" Mister Taft barked out a laugh, s

    "Sanctuary level, huh? Well, that doesn't matter to me. Anyone who stands in my way of revenge is going down all the same," said Wilbur.Maniac was clearly a lot less confident now, even appearing a little cowardly as he frowned. "Sir, are you sure you can win over Mister Taft?""What, are you scared?" Wilbur chuckled.Maniac sighed. "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't, Sir. A Sanctuary level cultivator is powerful enough to crush a mere Aura level like me to death.""Well, Maniac, I'll give you one last choice. You can either keep working for me or turn to Mister Taft. You're bearing the consequences of that though," said Wilbur.Maniac fell silent as he thought about it. A while later, he bowed to Wilbur. "Sir, I've got nowhere else to go. I chose to work for you from the start and am going to stick with it. No more doubts.""The choices you make determine the life you lead. You'll do well if you make the right choices, and fail if you make the wrong ones. You've made your choice,

    'There will no longer be a place for him in Anya City when Mister Taff gets involved, right?' Joel wondered. Joel felt like he had the upper hand. Perhaps he could kill Maniac on the spot. Everyone ignored the young man behind Maniac, and they thought he was only a sidekick. Joel immediately took on a cold and menacing gaze upon seeing Maniac. Maniac would die countless times if looks could kill. However, Maniac was audacious. He went in and glanced around before sitting with his sidekick. They could not believe he was not afraid at all. Everyone sneered internally and thought, 'Maniac is forcing himself to look calm.' Maniac was the ruler of Anya City, and he had a conflict with Joel, so Mister Taft would not suffer his existence in Anya City. They wondered how he was brave enough to show up. Zachary stood up at that moment. He looked at everyone and said, "It looks like everyone is here, so let's welcome Mister Taft." Everyone stood up and greeted synchronously, "We

    Maniac stood up and replied slowly, "It's true, Mister Taft." "Why?" asked Chance coldly. Maniac stepped toward Chance and bowed. He said, "It wasn't consensual, Mister Taft. Someone forced me to do so." The people who did not know the truth were instantly shocked. 'Is that so?' Wilbur sighed slightly. "It's him." Maniac pointed at Wilbur and declared loudly, "A few days ago, this guy named Wilbur Penn found me. He almost killed me because he's an Ambience level cultivator. He threatened me to attack Joel. I had no choice but to comply. Thankfully, you're back, Mister Taft. Please seek justice for me, and I'm willing to be your adopted son too." Then, he knelt on the floor without showing any signs of getting up. Everyone was stunned. No one expected Maniac to do that. 'Could it be true?' They thought. Everyone looked toward Wilbur at that moment. The young man looked ordinary. Was he really an Ambience level cultivator?' Chance looked at Wilbur and asked slowly,

    Wilbur laughed out loud before saying, "You sure know how to take advantage of the situation, but you made a big mistake if you think Chance Taft can protect you all." "How outrageous. He's too reckless and arrogant." "F*ck you! How dare you be so arrogant in front of Mister Taft? You're asking for death!" "Please take him down, Mister Taft. Secure the pride of the powerful Saint level cultivators." The crowd was agitated by Wilbur's attitude, and they shouted for Chance to punish Wilbur. Maniac and Joel did not get along, but they had a common enemy at the moment. They both turned to glare at Wilbur. Chance chuckled and shook his head. He said, "Youngsters nowadays don't know their place. I heard you're from Seechertown, so I'll start by making an example out of you, but I won't take your life. I'll spare you, so you can go back and tell your Seechertown comrades to bow down and surrender to me. That way, they can avoid unnecessary casualties. How does that sound?" "Chan

    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
