"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
Xaron laughed and called up Caleb Zink and Jonathon Wilson. He informed them of what happened with Wilbur. It was only a minor drama if it happened to ordinary people, but it was a terrifying incident when Justin Yaegar was involved. Someone would end up dead. Xaron needed to inform Caleb and Jonathon because they were the heirs of the three major families in Eagle City. He wanted to tell them so they could be mentally prepared. With that out of the way, he said, "Let's see how things play out tomorrow. Get over here!" The bodyguards immediately entered the room and stood up straight. Xaron looked at them with a cold gaze. He said coldly, "You useless things. Get Mister Miller here. I need him for tomorrow." "Yes, sir." The bodyguards left in a hurry. Meanwhile, Faye received multiple calls at the hotel, all of them urging her to return home. However, she kept using travel delays as an excuse. She told them she could only make it in the afternoon. The final call she rec
He had never been fond of this ungrateful child of his and would have kicked Fabian out had it not been for his birthday as well as Faye's love life. Fabian sighed at the sight of his father's ashen face, keeping silent. Today was his father's 70th birthday and he did not want to argue with the old man, but Faye and Wilbur were probably not going to stop just like that. Fabian smirked to himself. Not only was he kept out of the loop, but even Faye herself had not been told about something as big as an arranged marriage. Asher had always ruled over the Yves family with an iron fist, and no one dared to go against him. However, Faye had achieved something for herself after all these years, rising to the position of CEO of Cape International. Would she just be willing to marry someone she had not even seen before? Despite the fact that Justin was someone of power, Fabian knew that Wilbur was no small fry either. No one in Kardon Province dared to mess with Wilbur. Wilbur w
Faye's beauty was no secret in all of Eagle City, or Justin would not have even considered marrying someone from the Yves family. Just then, an arrival was announced at the door. "Miss Faye Yves has arrived." Everyone looked over at the entrance, fighting for a chance to get a glimpse of the prettiest woman in all of Eagle City. Even Justin's gaze flashed with interest and excitement. He had seen photos of Faye before and had been more than impressed. Yet he was still looking forward to seeing just how beautiful she would look in real life. Just then, Faye came into sight… with another man next to her! Faye was also holding the man by the arm, and they definitely looked intimate. The sight shocked everyone in the room. This was supposed to be Faye and Justin's engagement. What was going on, and why was Faye showing up hanging onto another man's arm? The rest of Faye's family was in shock, especially Asher. His expression darkened and his brows furrowed tightly.
Before Wilbur could even say anything, Faye smiled. "Grandpa, this is my boyfriend. Wilbur Penn." Wilbur took the chance to hold the box with the Elixir of Life out. "Grandpa, this is an Elixir of Life. It's great for strengthening your body, and it can even increase your lifespan. I hope you like it." "Get out of here," Asher roared, slapping the Elixir of Life to the ground with a wave of his hand. "Who the hell do you think you are, calling yourself my granddaughter's boyfriend?" Wilbur frowned, and Faye sighed as well. She knew that it was a tough situation and had expected things to go south. However, her grandfather being so angry and not even giving Wilbur the benefit of the doubt deeply disappointed her. Wesley picked up the Elixir of Life to get a closer look at it and let out a smirk. "What the hell is this? How dare you lie to us, calling it an Elixir of Life? Do you think we're idiots?" "Look at Mister Yaegar! He was generous enough to gift a real Cezanne painting
As for Faye, Asher did love this granddaughter of his, but there was nothing more important to him than carrying on the family bloodline. Things like personal relationships were of lower priority compared to that. Faye's marriage was out of her control from the moment she was born. That was just her fate. Besides, marrying Justin was hardly all that bad. Either way, there was no way in hell the Yves family was going to take Wilbur in. Just then, the bodyguards made their way toward Wilbur. Faye watched quietly, saying nothing. She knew that none of this was ever going to end if Wilbur did not show them a thing or two. The Eagle City Princes' expressions were unreadable as well. Things would be bad for them if Asher managed to take down Wilbur. In fact, they were hoping right now that Wilbur would have some tricks up his sleeve to fight back. That way, Justin would be angered further, and they would be justified to take action. Just as the two bodyguards touched Wilbur's b
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
