"Also, I think we should let Chester Ray and Zeke Yancey be the guardians of the Cultivators Association. They can help if you have something you can't resolve. I'll step in if they can't resolve it either. How about that?" Chester and Zeke were Sanctuary level cultivators. Everyone witnessed their battle too. Although Chester lost to Zeke, they did not dare to underestimate him. They had to be respectful towards Chester. Zeke was not a Kardon Province cultivator, but he surrendered to Wilbur, and he was better than Chester. They had no objections for Zeke to be a guardian. Therefore, everyone stood and toasted those two. Chester had no objections to what Wilbur said, so he gladly accepted it. Zeke was flattered because he became a guardian even though he was freshly defeated, which meant his master had no intentions of punishing him. He was overjoyed, so he raised his glass with a huge smile on his face. Everyone drank cheerfully. Then, they started to elect a chairm
Mister Grayson sounded displeased on the phone. "Wilbur, you moved out of Castlebury without telling anyone, and you haven't sent any messages. Have you forgotten about me?" "I wouldn't dare! I've been too occupied lately. I was just thinking about visiting you soon." Wilbur held great respect for a founding hero like him. He had given his blood, sweat, and tears for a new Dasha, after all. Regardless of his current position, his effort was worth remembering for future generations to come. "Don't try to fool me. Come over tonight. I would like a drink with you." "Alright. I'm free tonight. I'll be right over." "That's more like it." With that said, Benjamin ended the call. Wilbur let out a long sigh of relief. Everyone looked at Wilbur with dumbfounded expressions. They wondered who the hell was on the line for Wilbur to be so respectful. Wilbur said, "That was Benjamin Grayson." Everyone came to a realization. Benjamin Grayson was a distinguished statesman who had
She immediately kissed him, then stood up and said, "You should rest early tonight." "Yeah. Mister Grayson invited me over to his house. I wonder what he wants." Wilbur knew that Mister Grayson would not purely invite him over to drink. She nodded and said, "You can't be careless with Mister Grayson. Go ahead and prepare for the visit. I won't disturb you anymore." Then, she left gracefully. Her elegant figure made Wilbur nod in approval. However, she looked worried again after she went back to her room. Faye left home after graduating because she was dissatisfied with the rigid traditions of her family. She moved to Seechertown and made a living on her own. However, it was clear that her family did not intend to leave her alone. She definitely had to go back to celebrate her grandpa's birthday, but she learned from a childhood friend that her grandpa planned to arrange an engagement for her during the birthday celebration. The man was from an influential background, and he
Wilbur was stumped. He asked, "Who's Braxton Yaegar?" "The person in charge of Eagle City. He's one of my father's subordinates back then," Gordon said with a smile. Wilbur came to a realization, but he smiled wryly and said, "Mister Grayson, Eagle City is a governed city under the jurisdiction of the nation. The person in charge is the Vice Governor, right? I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for me to convey such a message, would it?" Benjamin spoke loudly, "Why would it be inappropriate? Cedric Wayne, the person in charge of Yowl Province, was only my father's soldier back then. Braxton Yaegar was my horse-boy back then. Does he dare to argue with me?" "You're impressive, really impressive. I'll remember that. I'll make sure to convey your message if I ever meet him." Wilbur stuck out his tongue wryly. Benjamin was indeed a founding father of the nation, with such high-ranking officials under his command. It was clear how powerful his influence was in Dasha. Gordon poure
Eagle City was part of Yowl Province. It was the top economic area in Dasha, and also a place with a lot of rich people. The economy was comparable to Zealand and Seechertown. Faye explained her family history to Wilbur on the plane. The Yves were considered an upper-class family in Seechertown. They were in the overseas trading industry and had a net worth of several billion dollars. However, having a net worth of a few billion dollars was nothing special in Eagle City. Many individuals there had net worths in the tens, or hundreds of billions of dollars. Especially the Clarks, the Wilsons, and the Zinks. Those three families had net worths in the hundreds of billions. They were undoubtedly the three giants in Eagle City. The Yveses family were also well-known, mainly because they had a beauty named Faye Yves. When Faye became a young adult, her beauty outshone everyone in Eagle City. She earned the title of the number one beauty in Eagle City, and it attracted the pursuit
"No way. Are you that confident, Mister Penn?" Ezra thought that Wilbur was a young and competent man because he was the boss of Cape Consortium. That was no easy feat. However, businessmen meant nothing to those in power. Moreover, Cape Consortium was an overseas enterprise. They had a new branch in Eagle City, but it would not change the situation. The Yveses would benefit more if Faye were married to the Yaegars, compared to marrying the boss of Cape Consortium. It was only a matter of time for the Yveses to rise to power in Eagle City if the marriage was a success. The Yveses would eventually become the top family in Eagle City. Would that not be much better for the Yveses than marrying Wilbur? However, Wilbur smiled and said, "We'll see. No one can stop me, and no one can force Faye." "You have guts, and I'm very impressed by that, but you better be careful," said Ezra. Wilbur replied, "Thanks for looking out for me. I'll remember it." "Alright, I'll leave you gu
Wilbur smiled to be polite, but Xaron did not return the smile. He frowned and asked, "Mister Penn, right? Do you know that Miss Yves is Mister Yaegar's fiancee?" "I don't," Wilbur replied nonchalantly. Xaron frowned and said, "Well, you know now. Get out of here immediately or you'll suffer a horrible death." Two bodyguards in black suits quietly appeared next to him while he spoke, glaring at Wilbur all the while. Wilbur glanced at them, then back at Xaron, saying slowly, "Those who dare talk to me like that don't end well. I suggest you reconsider before speaking again." "He's my boyfriend, Mister Clark. Don't you think you're crossing the line here?" Faye asked angrily. Xaron simply smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Yves. I didn't mean to disrespect you, but you should know that your grandfather has agreed to your engagement with Mister Yaegar, yet you're dining at a hotel with a random man. This will only make it difficult for you to face your family if news gets out.
Xaron was furious. He waved and said, "Throw him out." The bodyguards immediately attacked. They reached out to place their hands on Wilbur's shoulders. Just when they were about to touch his shoulders, a tremendous force blew them away instantly. Wilbur stood up and slapped Xaron in the face. The slap resonated loudly in the room. Xaron fell head-first to the floor, stunned by the outcome. He felt dizzy and he was seeing stars, barely able to remain conscious. Wilbur said coldly, "No one can change my mind, and that includes that Yaegar guy. Who the hell are you to bark in my face?" Faye hurriedly stood up to pull Wilbur away, urging him, "Let's just leave." Wilbur nodded, and they left together. Xaron finally realized what happened. He touched his tingling hot face and could not believe that it was real. Xaron screamed after a long while to express his anger. The bodyguards did not dare to approach him, standing far away with a fearful look in their eyes. They kne
