Just to be safe, Braxton still said, "In that case, buddy, I'm sure you won't mind if I make a call to Mister Grayson and ask him about you, right?" "Of course not. Go ahead, Master Braxton," Wilbur smiled. Braxton nodded. He walked over to a corner, took out his phone, and dialed a number. Not long after, the call connected, and Braxton hurried to say, "Mister Grayson! Is this a bad time?" "Ah, Brax. I was just about to take a nap. What's the matter?" "Sorry for disturbing you, Mister Grayson. A young man named Wilbur Penn came looking for me and told me about the message you had for me. I just thought I'd call you to say that I haven't forgotten my roots. I promise to keep a pure heart in my position of power and use it to give people a better life. I'll never forget what you taught me." "Well, it's great that you remember that. I've retired now, but people like you worry me the most. You're in a position of power, and every move you make is a representation of our nation
The Yves family was shell-shocked. Who was this Wilbur guy, and how was he powerful enough to have Braxton act so meek all of a sudden? Faye heaved a sigh of relief at last. It seemed like Wilbur was in control of the situation now, and she could not help but let out a proud smile. Fabian stared coldly at his family, smirking to himself while also marveling at Wilbur's power once again. Fabian could see how Wilbur had Seechertown wrapped around his finger, but to take down Braxton so easily… that was something else. It seemed like Fabian had still underestimated Wilbur. Yet he was still proud in the very end to have such a capable son-in-law who was able to get the situation under control so easily. Now, Asher was finally going to realize who was the real hero of the Yves family, and who were the useless good-for-nothings. Wilbur chuckled, retracting the spiritual restraint he imposed on Justin. "Yes, it was just a misunderstanding. I had no choice but to restrain Justin beca
Amidst his shock, Asher managed to ask shakily, "C-Could I please know which Mister G-Grayson you're talking about here?" "Benjamin Grayson, of course," Braxton smiled. Asher went pale at once. There were many old men with the last name of Grayson in Dasha, but there was only one Benjamin Grayson. He was the founding father of Dasha, one of the most powerful people in the nation who had fought for Dasha's freedom. It turned out that he was friends with this Wilbur guy. It was no wonder Braxton had turned so meek at once. The Yves family stared at Wilbur in shock, fearing for their lives. If they could not afford to even mess with Justin, Wilbur was out of the question. With how the Yves family had treated Wilbur, who knew if he might get angry and demand compensation? Yet Wilbur merely picked up the Elixir of Life once again, walking up to Asher with a smile. "Grandpa, it wasn't easy for me to get this. You're not in good shape, so I really think you should take it be
The Yves family members exchanged glances. Braxton really was putting Wilbur on the highest of pedestals here. Then again, of course he would. Wilbur had Mister Grayson on his side, after all. Wilbur smiled. "I wouldn't go as far as to teach him a lesson. We can be friends, though." "That works too! Justin, have a drink with your friend." Justin hurried to raise his glass, toasting Wilbur respectfully. Wilbur drained his glass and turned to look at the Eagle City Princes. These men had long been scared out of their wits, standing there in a daze. Wilbur turned out to be someone even Justin could not afford to mess with, and they had offended him greatly. What was going to happen to them now? Just then, Braxton frowned. "I told you before not to be so close to those businessmen. It doesn't look good for you at all. Tell them to leave." "Yes, Dad." Justin waved a hand, and the Eagle City Princes ran for their lives. It could be said that Braxton had actually protected
"You're not wrong there," the old man said in a deep voice. "We did swear to that, but where are these forces of chaos and what do they look like? I don't think anyone aside from our founders knows, so how are we supposed to do anything?" "We can go looking for them if we don't know where or what they are. What about the Skull Cult? The Church of Bloodism? Don't they count?" Eileen responded. The old man seemed unaffected by the interrogation. "Elder Fall, we haven't been strong enough to go outside since we lost our founders. I'm glad you can protect yourself against these groups, but surely you can't expect everyone to put themselves at risk?" Eileen leaned back in her chair. "We will never be as powerful as our founders, but don't you think it's too much that the Skull Cult was in the country for so many years and we did nothing about it?" "Well, the Skull Cult's been taken down now, hasn't it?" the old woman said. Eileen replied, "It has been taken down, but not by us."
Bloodpiercer was a brilliant weapon as it was, being completely indestructible. However, now it was also capable of numbing and weakening its opponent. That only made it even more powerful. "I-Is this the D-Dawn of Gods?" Andres asked shakily. The man's voice rang coldly. "Far from it. Get back to work and work hard. It'll become the Dawn of Gods when you're strong enough." Andres said nothing more, bowing deeply and turning to leave. … It was evening by the time Wilbur and Faye returned to Sealake Island. Faye had some things she wanted to say to Wilbur, but a call came in as soon as they had sat down. It was Dom, saying that he was waiting outside. Faye let out a sigh, returning to her room in frustration. Wilbur let Dom in, who greeted him before taking out a stack of contracts for Wilbur to look over. Wilbur signed without a second glance. It was just about the transfer of Shandon Enterprise shares, after all. After signing the contracts, Dom brought up his sist
She definitely had the looks and body fit enough to be a flight attendant. The clothes she was wearing were rather attractive as well. Wilbur sat down with a smile. "Hello." "Hello, Mister Penn," Xandria said with a smile. "Oh, you can just call me Wilbur." "I wouldn't dare to do that. Even my superior's afraid of you, so I'd never call you that," Xandria said playfully. Wilbur chuckled. "That's just them. You're your own person. So, what's up?" "Not much. I just wanted to buy you a meal." Xandria smiled. Wilbur was surprised. "That's it?" "Well, why not? You helped me out big time, you know. I got promoted to chief flight attendant after that incident, and it's all thanks to you." After what happened at the airport, Xandria was promoted to chief flight attendant by the general manager of Seechertown Airport. She was told that she would continue to be promoted as long as she worked hard, and definitely had a shot at working in management. All her colleagues now envied
Wilbur could not help but laugh, feeling equal parts amused and irked by the cockiness of these two. "Orin Campbell's son calls me 'bro', and even I'm not this cocky." Steve paused, and Whitney barked out a laugh. "Ha, really? I'm so scared! You must be talking about the son of the guy in charge of Kardon Province, right? Wow, you really can make anything up." Whitney shook her head in disgust. Steve snapped back to his senses. As if someone like this shabbily-dressed lowlife would be pals with Orin Campbell's son! Steve himself had never even had the chance to know Faron! Steve's expression darkened. "Careful, bastard. I could have you locked up for spinning a lie like that." "He's just a liar through and through! Open your eyes, miss! Look at him! Do you really believe that he knows Orin Campbell's son?" Whitney jeered. Xandria said, "I don't know about that. All I know is that we were minding our own business, and you came over to disrupt our meal. Could you let us get b
