Sylvia's expression was one of utter terror. Wilbur got to his feet, standing in front of Sylvia. "Don't come any closer." Damian's expression darkened as he eyed Wilbur. "I'm just here to take Miss Ronan back. Someone else will handle you." "You're not taking anyone away," Wilbur said calmly. Damian glanced at Wilbur. He raised his palms, which glowed with Aura light as a wave of pressure spread out. Sylvia could not help but back up from the force, shouting, "He's a cultivator, one of Joy Corp's fighters!" "No worries. I'll take care of it." Wilbur smiled. Damian flared up in fury, slashing his hands through the air like two razor-sharp knives in the direction of Wilbur's chest. Wilbur merely chuckled, throwing out an attack of his own. With a loud collision, Damian flew backward and slammed against a pillar, sliding down slowly as blood trickled from his mouth. His chest was caved in. Sylvia cried out in shock, staring at Wilbur in disbelief. "What's the matter?"
Over in the hotel, Sylvia hung up on the call, tossing the phone to the side with a bitter smile. "There aren't any media outlets who want to interview me." "Don't they love celebrity gossip?" Wilbur was a little surprised himself. Sylvia shook her head. "These media giants are pretty much completely under Pentagon Corp's control, including Joy Corp. They'd be more than happy to cover anything else but would never say a word about anything involving the plutocrats." Wilbur nodded. "That's fine. Joy Corp isn't going to back down anytime soon, and this is going to blow up in everyone's faces. The truth won't remain hidden for very long." Just then, Sylvia's phone rang. She glanced at it and picked it up. "Hello, is this Miss Sylvia Ronan?" "Yes, who is this?" "Hello, I'm the head of Lencent News. We'd like to interview you if you have the time." "Lencent News? I've never heard of you before." "I'm sorry for that. We're a pretty newly-formed news outlet, so we don't have
"Die." Several sword shadows were formed from his longsword as the man shouted. They carried a fierce gust of wind, and they slashed toward Wilbur simultaneously. His combat skills were decent. His longsword was able to slash towards Wilbur in various directions, which meant his speed was extremely fast. Ordinary people would not be able to see that. However, Wilbur merely threw a punch. A raging force instantly destroyed all the sword shadows. The longsword was shattered into rampant spiritual energy, and the punch landed on his chest without any resistance. A boom could be heard. The man flew back and crashed into a wall, and the room seemed to shake for a moment. With that exchange, the man fell to the floor slowly, seemingly dead as blood leaked out from various orifices. Wilbur killed the powerful Ambience level cultivator with just a single punch. Sylvia could not believe her eyes. She knew of cultivators, but she had never seen cultivators who could form weapon
Zaid Kline was silent for a moment. He said coldly, "Mister Pugh, this is a murder case. We have to handle it." "You will be handled first. You know your supervisor's relationship with us. Do you think he was able to get to where he is without the support of our High Lady? Don't forget that you woke up from Yasmin Lawrence's bed last night." Zaid had a terrible expression for a moment, but he relented and said, "I will do as you say, but you better hurry up. The news will spread very soon." "I'll fix it." Casper hung up as soon as he finished talking. He had a menacing look on his face. Actually, he did not want to threaten Zaid unless it was absolutely necessary. However, things were going out of his control. He had to consider the bigger picture. He thought about it and called his secretary. He said through gritted teeth, "Let the Heptagon Gang enter the hotel and clean them all out. I need Sylvia Ronan dead along with that guy." "Sir, isn't this a bit too much?" asked th
Wilbur shook his head and pulled out a deadly cleaver from the back of his hand before approaching the thugs. He easily cut them down like weed, leaving no blood stains on himself. He arrived at the elevator after killing those people and then threw a punch. The elevator was damaged, and it crashed. Screams could be heard inside the elevator. Wilbur went toward the staircase after he destroyed the elevator. That was the only way they could come up to the 70th floor. Tyson shakily held the camera at that moment. He was filming the gory sight with a terrified expression. However, Wilbur quickly vanished into the staircase. He did not go easy on the people who kept coming up. The deadly cleaver splashed blood everywhere as the thugs were dismembered. He realized that some of the thugs were armed with guns and rifles as he walked downstairs. They started shooting as soon as they saw Wilbur. Wilbur waved and formed a spiritual shield in front of him. The bullets exploded
Tyson hurriedly followed inside with his subordinates. He felt like that was the most shocking news in Galloria. He did not know whether he should be afraid or excited. He kept shaking the camera in his hand. … Calvin Levi was in the President's Office. His secretary hurriedly passed him a document. Calvin went through the document and frowned. He said, "Continue to monitor this and report any relevant developments." "Yes, sir." … Casper was in Michelle Jenkins' villa. He wiped the sweat off his forehead as he walked into the living room, shaking all the while. He felt extremely terrified to be summoned by Miss Jenkins. He felt like he was facing a T-rex when he saw her slim silhouette. "Miss Jenkins," Casper greeted with a proper bow. A sweat on his forehead dripped on the clean and expensive floor. Michelle Jenkins slowly turned her chair around. She lifted her Bloody Mary and had a sip, looking at Casper in silence. Casper was sweating bullets as he lower
The secretary left the room to carry out her orders. Calvin went back to his seat and fell into deep thought. Those business conglomerates controlled the economy of Galloria and had their hands in politics, which greatly constrained his ambitions. However, their influence was immense, and any moves against them could have far-reaching consequences. Calvin did not dare to act recklessly. However, as someone who managed to be elected as the president of a nation, he was a daring and meticulous individual who never let an opportunity slip by. He felt like he had proper reasons to interfere with the incident. He could use this opportunity to make the Pentagon Corp compromise. He could spread his wings and no longer be constrained by the business conglomerates if the Chief Prosecutor and the director stepped down in favor of his people. "You're outstanding, young man. It's time that I reach out to you," Calvin praised as he watched Wilbur in the video. … Meanwhile, Sylvia's pa
Casper Pugh's suicide was not enough to calm the scandal down. It was apparent that the president was involved. She was well aware that Calvin was trying to seize the opportunity to stir up trouble. Once their cover was blown and the truth was revealed, Pentagon Corp would be forced to make a public apology and admit their mistakes. The Chief Prosecutor and the director would be replaced by people who worked for Calvin in that case. Pentagon Corp would then lose its grip on the government. They have held the high ground in their standoff with the presidential office for the longest time. Multiple presidents had to announce policies according to their wishes, which brought enormous benefits to the enterprise and continuously strengthened their power. They would no longer be able to keep Calvin in check if they were to yield and admit their mistakes. Their interests would suffer significant losses, and that was unacceptable to her. "Robin!" Michelle yelled angrily. The tall a
