Everyone was caught by surprise once again. 'Wow. Why didn't we know about what happened yesterday?' they thought. However, every Ray clan member knew about that because Gary was still in the hospital. It was unknown whether he was still alive. It would not be an exaggeration to say Wilbur killed someone. Zane said, "You heard her. Someone accused you of murder too, so please cooperate with us. Don't make us use forceful measures." Ria had a satisfied smile on her face. The Shandon siblings would be nothing without Trevor Penn. Magnus looked sinister. He paid a huge price for the incident, so he would rather die than see Trevor and the Shandon siblings walk off unpunished. Manfred looked grudgeful. He needed to teach that asshole a lesson, even if he had to use everything the Ray clan had. Otherwise, he could never show his face in Zealand again as the head of the clan. Sammy and Dom were also nervous. Wilbur was powerful, but he probably could not fight the authoriti
The entire room was dead silent. Wilbur slowly turned to look at Manfred, who was in shock. "Just show me everything you've got, I'll deal with it as it comes." Yet the truth was that the great elder of the Ray family had just referred to Wilbur as 'Senior', and the Special Forces had retreated with just an order from Wilbur. Zane had even been asked to write a report on this. Wilbur was impossibly mysterious and unpredictable in terms of his power and identity, and Ray could hardly compare. It was only then that he finally began to realize just how terrifying this young man was. There had to be a reason Manfred's own father addressed this man 'Senior'. Manfred was the head of the Ray clan and knew it would be useless to struggle after such a thorough defeat as he bowed deeply to Wilbur. "The Ray clan officially surrenders. Please let us know what demands you may have, Senior." "Demands?" Wilbur asked calmly. "What if I wanted the death of the entire Ray clan?" Manfred'
The Ray clan had lost completely, and even the Special Forces officers were subject to this man's orders. Ria finally understood that she was truly done for, and she had no leverage left against Sammy at all. It was only then that she began to regret her actions, feeling like what she had done was too much. No, she should not have treated Sammy like that, nor should she have taunted Wilbur at all. Yet now, it seemed like neither the Shandon siblings nor Wilbur were going to forgive her. Hopelessness, fear, and humiliation washed over her like a tidal wave as she sank back down onto her chair numbly. Just then, Wilbur said, "Now that you have become my disciple, Chester, I won't give you any more grief for your clan's actions." "Thank you, Master." Chester bowed deeply to Wilbur. Manfred's eyes flew open, and he stared at Wilbur in disbelief. He had thought that with how powerful Wilbur was, the Ray clan was going to be punished severely for sure, only for them to get
"Is anything else the matter?" Wilbur asked. Dom exclaimed, "We haven't even thanked you for how much you've helped us, sir! You can't just leave in a hurry like that." "That's right. At least stay a few more days so we can repay you," Sammy said, her face turning red. Dom glanced at her, raising his eyebrows thoughtfully. Nonetheless, Wilbur shook his head. "I've got a huge mess to clean up in Seechertown, I really can't stay. I know you'd like to thank me, but I have to go." Both siblings tried their best to convince Wilbur, but he insisted on leaving. At last, Dom could only offer to buy Wilbur and Chester flight tickets and send them to the airport. Before bidding them farewell, Dom said, "Sir, I haven't forgotten about the shares. I'll take the transfer documents to Seechertown to you myself once I get them sorted. Don't you worry about that." "Uh, you really don't have to," said Wilbur. Yet both siblings were adamant about extending the gesture, and Wilbur could o
Skyler laughed and got up to pledge his loyalty as well. He had been a lone ranger in the first place with nothing to lose and had complete respect for Wilbur ever since meeting him. Ian was the last to stand. He was not fit to be a cultivator and did not know why the Owens clan had picked a mortal like him to take on the role of clan leader. Ian bowed to Wilbur. "Master, the Owens clan has disrespected you greatly before, but you forgave us so generously and never punished the rest of the clan members. I'm not a cultivator, but I'm more than willing to become your disciple and pledge the loyalty of the Owens clan to you." Wilbur nodded, and Ian made his declarations as well. After he was done, Wilbur officially had six disciples: Matt, Gerard, Ian, Gertridge, Skyler, and Chester. Their respective skills were on vastly differing levels, and there was even a mortal with no powers at all, but they were all definitely forces to be reckoned with. As for Faron, Elsa, and Faye
Faye let out a long sigh. "What now?" "It's my friend, Ethan Osborn. His sister seems to be in some trouble. I need to check it out," Wilbur replied helplessly. Faye scowled, slapping Wilbur on the arm. "You've got lots of options, haven't you? First that Sammy Shandon, and now some girl in college?" "What are you talking about?" Wilbur huffed in amusement. "She's a close friend's sister." "Well, what's up between you and Sammy, then?" Faye stared Wilbur down. Wilbur scrambled to say, "Nothing! I swear on my life. Nothing at all!" "You might not feel that way, but she might. That's a celebrity right there." Faye's stare was starting to send chills down Wilbur's back, and he hastily said, "I need to get to Shelby in case something happens to her." He got up in a hurry and fled from the room. Faye sighed, leaning back against the couch saying nothing. As a woman, she could tell that Sammy did have feelings for Wilbur. Who knew what Wilbur had been up to during his t
The three men exchanged glances, and the man who had been singing put his microphone down. He then sat down and looked at Wilbur. "Shelby's friend, huh? What's your name?" "Wilbur Penn," Wilbur replied. Whitney frowned. "Why didn't you tell us he was coming, Shelby?" "Well, he's a friend of ours, isn't he? I didn't think I had to," Shelby justified. Whitney sighed, but said, "Let me introduce you to them." Wilbur nodded, and Whitney gestured at the man who had been singing. "This is Mister Conrad Willis from Blossom Corp, with a net worth of up to a hundred million dollars. We're good friends." "It's nice to meet you, Mister Willis," Wilbur smiled as he greeted Conrad, who merely let out a chuckle. "This is Mister Howie Chewston, executive manager of Woods Corporate. He has a yearly income of over three million dollars." "Nice to meet you, Mister Chewston." "Finally, this is Mister Cameron Shank of Ultra Corp. His family owns a beverage factory, and they earn up to si
Conrad scoffed. "Everyone in Seechertown knows better than to mess with me. You entered a private room and intruded on my night out, and now you're trying to leave with one of my friends. Who the hell do you think you are?"Whitney said, "Just tell him to leave, Shelby. Don't make this difficult for us."She had been friends with Conrad for about half a year now. He was a generous man, with friends who were just as wealthy as he was.Whitney had received quite a few gifts from Conrad, even in the form of cold, hard cash.She knew what Conrad was trying to do, and had thus kept him at arm's length while maintaining a close enough friendship with him. Whitney was certain that all she had to do was figure out what Conrad liked and kept him happy, and she would be set for the rest of her life.Thus, she did not want Wilbur to get on Conrad's bad side.A wealthy young man like this was not to be messed with.Whitney thought that it was not worth it for Wilbur to offend Conrad, and ev
