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
However, a two-meter-tall earth giant rose from the ground when Zachary shouted. It charged toward Wilbur. The earth giant looked strong. Its fists were the size of basketballs, and it had a dirt-yellow spiritual radiance on it, seemingly unstoppable. The crowd was utterly shocked to see that. Zachary cast spells after spells that were equally amazing. They had never seen spells like that before. It was especially so with the Earth Giant that was summoned. There was no way Maniac could overpower that, was there? Everyone unintentionally looked at Maniac, who seemed pissed off and remained quiet. Everyone chuckled at the sight. Indeed, a great mentor produces great students. The student of a Saint level cultivator was that powerful. That meant Chance Taft was terrifyingly powerful. Wilbur Penn clearly did not know his place. Wilbur only chuckled and charged toward the earth giant with his bare fists, instantly battling each other. Zachary watched the battle from the si
Everyone instantly exclaimed. Zachary had a solemn look too. He quickly cast a spell with his hands and yelled, "Earth Shield!" A solid earth shield rose in front of him. There was a spiritual radiance on the shield, and it had many runes on it. The Earth Shield was an intermediate spell. Wilbur cast it before. However, Wilbur blasted the shield away with a punch as he shouted. Then, the punch continued forth and landed squarely on Zachary. Zachary could not do anything to stop it. He could only watch Wilbur's punch land on his chest. With a loud bang, Zachary stumbled backward while blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. Wilbur stopped and stood with hands behind his back, stopping his attacks on Zachary. Zachary was confused for a moment, then he wiped the blood off his mouth slowly. He bowed at Wilbur and said, "Thanks for sparing me." Wilbur nodded slightly, but his eyes were fixated on the room. Everyone was very shocked at that point. Zachary was almost
The venue changed in an instant. All of them suddenly appeared in the middle of an endless field. The field had no visible boundaries. They were standing on never-ending dirt while sand filled the air. Statues that were a hundred meters in height towered in the four cardinal directions. They were at a distance of one hundred meters from each other. They were four beige statues equipped with armor and axes, emanating a majestic presence. Everyone felt like they were on an ancient battlefield. The suffocating tension and malicious vibes frightened everyone instantly. 'I-Is this a Domain?" The crowd felt fearful. They knew the power of a Saint level cultivator was superior. However, they could not believe the Domain of a Saint level cultivator was that terrifying. They were instantly brought to another world. A powerful spiritual pressure was soaring along with the malicious intent. It made them feel incredibly small and weak. They felt like they would not be able to han
