Faye and Skyler walked over to Wilbur. The government official hesitated for a moment when he saw that but ended up following along. There was an important project happening today that he oversaw, so he needed to be there personally. He was focused on brokering the project with Faye, and they were just getting into the rhythm of things when he was suddenly cut off. He was quite displeased with it, so he wanted to see who had the gall to cause a ruckus like that. Whitney and her group were laughing at Wilbur's expense as the guards were ready to 'gently' escort him out. Just then, Skyler and Faye arrived at the scene. "What's going on?" Faye asked with a smile. The group saw Faye when they looked around and quickly greeted her. They also told her about how Wilbur snuck in without an invitation. Whitney was starstruck when she saw Faye. She walked up to her and bowed. "Miss Yves, this guy here is a charlatan. He snuck in here and is up to no good. You need to be careful." F
"Sir, I had no idea that you were Miss Yves' friend. Please forgive my ignorance," Lucas apologized in a bitter tone. The others quickly joined him in their apology toward Wilbur after the initial shock. It was serious. If they offended Miss Yves' friend, that would be akin to them offending Miss Yves herself, which would doom their entire future. Wilbur looked at Faye and said, "Forget it. It's nothing much to begin with. However, Lucas, you should distance yourself from Whitney in the future. She's still a student, and there's something wrong with her character." "Yes, sir. I will surely do so," Lucas replied fearfully. Just then, that official walked over and asked with a smile, "What's with the commotion?" Faye looked at him and smiled. "It's just a minor incident, and it's all settled now. Let me introduce this person to you guys. He's the deputy mayor of Seechertown, Revelio Zack." "Nice to meet you, sir," Lucas and his group fearfully shook Revelio's hand. Seeche
Wilbur answered the call when he saw that it was Elsa on the phone. "What's wrong?" "Bro, you guys have work. Get over here quickly. This place is haunted." "What kind of joke is this?" "I'm serious! The police couldn't do anything and turned to us, but I couldn't do anything too. It's too creepy. Just hurry over and take a look. It's really haunted here." Wilbur sighed after hearing Elsa's solemn tone. He asked for the address and then notified Ryder. Faye shook her head and said, "So, Mister Ever-So-Busy, did something happen again?" "I can't help it. If I knew I'd face so many problems, I wouldn't have entered that stupid department," Wilbur grumbled in frustration. Faye laughed and said, "I wonder if it's too late to back out now." "I'll turn in my resignation tomorrow. It's so annoying," Wilbur replied unhappily. Faye and Skyler chuckled. That was a secret national department. It would not be that easy for Wilbur to resign from it. Ryder brought over his suit
Ryder quickly assembled his super cannon and stood guard at the door while Wilbur strode right in.They saw Andre sitting in the living room, elegantly drinking his red wine. He looked at Wilbur with a smile and commented, "Mister Penn, that's very rude of you.""Out with it. Is this your doing?" Wilbur asked in a low voice.Andre shrugged, then poured Wilbur a glass of red wine. It looked as thick as blood."My dear Mister Penn, I've always been in this room and never took a step outside. I have no idea what you're talking about," Andre replied calmly.Wilbur scoffed and said, "I've set my rules in Seechertown. If you break them, you'll have to be punished regardless of your identity.""Mister Penn, I believe you've got me wrong this time. I really have no idea what you're talking about," Andre said helplessly.Wilbur frowned. Andre did not seem like he was lying.However, he could not imagine who else would cause a bloody scene like that apart from the Church of Bloodism."A
Yanfren could not sleep at all the previous night. He had dark circles around his eyes and felt uneasy the entire way. After arriving at Hill Village, the trio drove right up to the ancestral graves on a hill. It was a massive gravesite where all the ancestors of Hill Village's residents were buried. The trio arrived at the grave of Yanfren's father. The grave has cracked open, exposing the rotten coffin in it. Yanfren screamed in terror when he saw that and quickly ran off to hide in the distance. Wilbur frowned and said, "He's still your father even if he is a ghost. What's there to be afraid of?" "Even if that's my father, it's still a ghost! How can I not be scared?" Yanfren refused to go anywhere near the grave. Wilbur shook his head and then waved his hand, opening the coffin's cover. They saw a corpse lying inside. The clothes on it were in a state of disrepair, and there was blood all over the corpse. Burials in a village would usually seal the coffin shut und
"Village secretary? We're here to help Yanfren and did not touch the graves here. Why do we need to compensate you?" Wilbur asked. Booker's face darkened immediately and said in a low voice, "How dare you say you didn't touch it when the grave is in this sorry state? You're just being disrespectful right now. Gregory, summon the villagers and have them decide." The young man beside him agreed and ran off to make calls. Meanwhile, Booker seemed to be observing Yanfren closely. Just then, Wilbur saw Yanfren wave at him, so he walked over with a frown. Yanfren then whispered into his ear, "This guy used to be a bully in the village. He's just trying to ask for money. Now that he's the village secretary, I can't afford to offend him." Wilbur nodded slowly and said, "Looks like you managed to earn some money over the years." "I made a small profit, but it's not much," Yanfren said with a glint in his eyes. Wilbur chuckled. A person needed to be considerably rich to afford a hou
"You guys see that? They admitted to it, and now they're threatening us. What do you guys think" Booker glanced coldly at Wilbur. The crowd grew rowdy right away, waving their weapons around. Yanfren turned pale at the sight and said, "Stop provoking them. I can't afford to offend these people." "I can, though. Why are you so worried?" Wilbur replied. Yanfren was at a loss for words and kept silent. He would let Wilbur deal with the situation as he saw fit. Yanfren knew he could not afford to cross them, but he could not afford the money they demanded either. Just then, Booker roared angrily, "How dare they act so arrogantly after disturbing the peace of our village? Guys, go beat them up!" As the crowd began to move, Wilbur shouted, "The corpse will transform into a zombie if you leave it like that. I advise you to bury it quickly and let me go about my business. Otherwise, don't say I didn't warn you when something happens." "Who are you trying to scare with that story?
The robed man spoke in gibberish for some time, then raised his hand. The room was immediately filled with light. The crowd was astonished, prostrating themselves before him and praising him as though he were a deity. The man said smugly, "I have blessed you with longevity. I will keep these offerings and use them to repair the temple. This will be counted to your merits in life." "Master, please take them. This is a sign of my sincerity." "We're happy to assist the great honorable Master to collect donations for the temple." "Master, you're truly a virtuous person." The group of devout followers praised him to no end. The man chuckled, then collected all the offerings into his sleeve with a simple wave. Just then, the room's door was kicked in. Wilbur and Ryder walked in calmly. "Who goes there? That's very rude of you!""Didn't you know the Master is here? Hurry up and prostrate yourself." "Things won't end well for you if you offend the Master." The devout fo
