Edward was drenched in cold sweat. Meanwhile, Cindy said, "Sure! As if we have anything to be scared of. Edward, just give your dad a call if anything happens and everything will be sorted out." Edward did not know what to say, but the situation at hand had to be solved somehow. He turned to look at Steve. "Mister Zoner, I'm sure it's alright if I just go by myself, right?" Edward was trying to imply that he was hoping to go alone and offer some money as compensation. The Torrent clan would at least spare him some mercy for his father's sake, and the whole thing would be over without him having to embarrass himself. However, Steve was far from willing to let that slide. "Did you not hear what I just said?" Just then, Frank stood up as well. "What are you trying to do? Do you know who Mister Channing is, talking to him like that?" It was clear that Frank had no idea how much power the Torrent clan actually held. Steve turned to look at Frank and smirked. "I know very well
Wilbur glanced at Edward. "You aren't any match for him, but I am. I'd like to see if he dares lay a finger on me." The classmates were at a loss for words. None of them had expected Wilbur, who had been silent the whole time, to have such nerves. Anyone could tell that Edward did not dare to mess with Mister Torrent, but here Wilbur was, doing exactly just that. Nancy tugged at Wilbur's shirt, trying to get him to shut up. Wilbur turned and smiled at Nancy, urging her to calm down before he turned to look back at Steve. For a second, Steve was actually a little intimidated by Wilbur's confidence. He only regained his bravado a second later, shouting, "How dare you! You're asking for death, aren't you?" Wilbur said calmly, "I might not be the one who dies, you know. The Torrents don't seem like that much of a big deal." Steve's gaze narrowed. "Insulting the Torrent clan will end in more than just a beating. I can assure you of that." "Is that so? Come at me, then,"
Will looked at Steve, who bowed to him before saying, "Sir, I was going to bring the guys who beat Mister Sage over, but this idiot here insulted the Torrent clan, so I brought him over first. I'll let you take care of him first before we go back and teach those other bastards a lesson." Will's expression darkened immediately after hearing those words. He stared at Wilbur coldly. "You must have a death wish, daring to insult the Torrent clan's name like this?" "Heh," Wilbur let out a laugh. "What's so great about the Torrent clan, anyways? You're nothing but a group of bootlickers following someone else's command." Wilbur had been able to deduce that the Torrent clan that Steve was talking about was one of Seechertown's three biggest clans. The Torrent clan was nothing in comparison to the Owens family. They were just acting tough to people below them. Wilbur's words made Will flare up in rage at once. He stared at Wilbur coldly and waved his hand. At once, more than ten me
Seeing that it was a call from his father, Will scrambled to answer the call. "Dad?" Gerard's voice came ringing through, full of authority. "Will, get home right now. The clan is having an important meeting." "Oh… Uhm… Dad, I've got something I need to handle right now that's a little urgent." Will did not really care about those clan meetings if he was honest. Gerard raised his voice at once. "This meeting is of utmost importance. Seechertown's got a new top dog, and you need to be here for this." "What happened, Dad?" Will asked, confused. Gerard let out a sigh. "Someone with unimaginable strength and skill just beat Jeremy last night. Jeremy pledged his loyalty to that man, and he's going to announce to all the clans to pay this man respect whenever they see him." "What?" Will's phone nearly fell to the ground, and he looked up at Wilbur. Could this guy have been telling the truth just now, and was really the man Gerard was talking about? Wilbur smiled at the sho
Will ended the call, then took a deep breath before walking up to Wilbur slowly and bowing deeply to him. "I'm so sorry, Mister Penn. I was foolish enough to offend you. Please punish me as you see fit." Will's gesture left everyone in shock. Sammy, Steve, and all the men in the room had their jaws hit the ground. Even Nancy was shocked. She did not know what had just happened. Why did Will's attitude make a complete reversal in the blink of an eye? Wilbur was the only one who knew what happened because of his heightened senses. He heard every single word in the conversation between Will and his father. Wilbur saw that and frowned. "I won't give you a hard time. Since you did apologize, I'll forgive you." "Thank you, sir. Give me a second. My father will be right here to apologize to you personally," Will said carefully. Those words shocked everyone once again. They could not understand what could have possibly happened for someone like Will to suddenly be so respectful
Gerard saw Wilbur and hurried over to bow to him. "Gerard Torrent, at your service, sir." Wilbur waved a hand. "Don't worry about it." "Did Will offend you, sir? I'll be sure to punish him," Gerard said. Wilbur frowned. "It wasn't anything too bad, so there's no need to make a big deal out of it." "Will, get over here and apologize," Gerard said sharply. Will walked over, apologizing officially. Wilbur got to his feet. "I said it was just a misunderstanding. I accept your apology. I just want this to be over." Wilbur did not want this to drag on and delay his cultivation schedule. Gerard finally stopped worrying after Wilbur stated that he did not want to dwell on this any further. He then turned to his son. "Get me a card." Will understood what his father meant and scrambled to take out a golden card before passing it to Gerard. Gerard took the card and passed it to Wilbur with both hands. "Sir, the Torrent clan has a good number of restaurants and entertainment plac
The pair continued to chat idly about their time in school just like that. Nancy was currently feeling a whole load of complicated emotions. Running into Wilbur had been a complete coincidence. He had once been Nancy's deskmate, and she knew that Wilbur had lost his parents when he was young. He lived with his grandfather and had never been very well off. That was why she had taken pretty good care of Wilbur in school. It could be said that there had been a bit of a spark between the two. But they were both so young then and hardly even understood what they were feeling before they were separated. Seeing Wilbur again after over a decade, he seemed like a completely different person with some kind of superpower in him. Nancy was no fool. She could deduce from Steve's words that Mister Torrent was someone of power. But the second Wilbur showed up, Mister Torrent turned into a meek little cat. That meant that Wilbur was on another level. However, Wilbur did not seem to w
The kick was heavy and quick as lightning. Nancy shuddered from where she was in the car, covering her mouth in terror. Just then, Wilbur smirked coldly before sending out a strong attack. Both attacks collided with a loud bang, rumbling loudly in the air. Wilbur's attack hit the assailant right at the bottom of his foot. A strong burst of power practically blew up the attacker's foot, filling the air around them with a spray of blood. The attacker let out a cry of agony, stumbling backward on one leg as he stared at Wilbur in disbelief. Wilbur turned around to stare at Jose. "You're telling me that this weakling was trying to kill you?" Jose said shamefully, "Sir, my cultivation level is not as strong as his. I'm no match for him." However, Jose finally vaguely realized just how powerful Wilbur was. Jose's own skill had reached the aura blow level, but there was a spectrum to the level as well. Jose's aura was not as thick as Duran's. That was why he had not only fai
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
