Wilbur glared at Whitney. "You might think I'm lying, but I think you're a joke." "What did you just say to me?" Whitney could hardly believe her ears. Was this liar calling her a joke? Wilbur's expression turned cold. "You're a student, but instead of focusing on your studies, you run around trying to find a rich husband to settle down with like nothing else matters more than money. People like you don't have any values, nor do you have the right to comment on others." Whitney froze in her tracks, turning red as a beetroot as her expression turned from shock to humiliation, morphing as she flared up in fury. She could hardly believe it, a nobody talking down to her like this. Whitney felt like someone just poured a bucket of icy water over her, tainting her beauty in a matter of seconds. She exploded at last, roaring, "What right do you have to say that to me, Wilbur? Who the hell do you think you are, huh? So what if money's important to me, everyone in this world's after
Just then, Baron and Yumi made their way in slowly. Baron had his chest puffed out, looking around the room haughtily. His gaze landed on Wilbur, completely ignoring Shane and the rest. Shane and his friends were shocked by the air of authority this man held. He was about to ask who this guy was but could not muster up the courage to. Whitney, however, had completely lost her temper, screaming, "Who the hell let you in here?" Baron paid her no mind, walking up to Wilbur with a smile. "Are you Wilbur Penn, the head of the Abyss Mercenaries, the real boss of Cape Consortium, top dog of Kardon Province, head of the Kardon Province Cultivators Association, Sanctuary level cultivator, and Divine General Trevor Penn?" Wilbur looked back at Baron with a frown. Whitney and the rest, however, were in a state of shock. What did the guy just say? Baron chuckled. "Don't look so shocked. These might be secrets you've hidden from most people, but let's just say there aren't any secrets
Wilbur looked at Baron. "I'd really advise against you doing that, or you're going to regret it." "I've never regretted any of my actions, and nothing I've done has ever been worthy of my regret," Baron boasted. "So what if you're Sanctuary level? Power isn't everything, and neither are skills. I can do whatever I want to Cape, and you can't do anything about it." Wilbur chuckled, shaking his head. "I don't think you understand people like me, with the way you think you've got us wrapped around your finger just because you've got power or money. I can live without Cape, but you're dead if you even try to put your hands on it." Baron's gaze turned murderous, as he glowered at Wilbur. Wilbur looked back at him in the eye without any intention of backing down. "You dare go against this nation?" Baron asked coldly. Wilbur let out a sneer of disdain. "What's this? Are you speaking on the nation's behalf here? Don't flatter yourself, buddy. You're nothing to me." "What the hell
All of them stared at Wilbur with their jaws agape, their expression fraught with terror and disbelief. However, Baron was still the most shocked of them all. He knew exactly how powerful Saber was. The Chaos Dissection was a power that manipulated space. It was extremely rare and dangerous. It had the ability to slice through everything, and most Sanctuary level cultivators could not hold up against its destructive capabilities. That was why Baron was so cocky toward cultivators, and the reason why he had hardly taken Wilbur's words seriously. What he had not expected, however, was for Saber to be taken down with just two hits. This guy was terrifying. Yumi's gaze was one of shock and disbelief as well. She stared at Wilbur dumbly, brows furrowed as if she were deep in thought. Just then, Wilbur reached out for Baron and lifted him into the air. "Did you really think you were untouchable?" The aura radiating off Wilbur was so murderous that it almost froze Baron wi
"Don't shoot, Wilbur!" Orin rushed over, his expression fraught with nerves. Wilbur glanced at the door. Countless members of the Special Forces had sealed the place off, and he turned to Orin with a chuckle. "You're here too, huh?" "Faye gave me a call, and I came rushing over the second I knew you were here." Orin was visibly nervous here. Faye had just given him a call, telling him about the news of Baron demanding a stake in Cape. Orin had not expected that to happen. Baron had only mentioned wanting to work with Cape, which was why Orin had even introduced both parties to each other. Obviously, Wilbur was going to say no to such a request. Orin knew the second he heard that Baron was heading to Seecher Hotel to look for Wilbur that an altercation was going to happen and had dropped everything to rush over. Sure enough, things had escalated to such a dire extent. Baron had to be safe. Everyone would get into trouble if something were to happen to someone of his stat
"Oh, Mister Grayson. You're finally here." Orin wiped the sweat off his brow. The figure who had just arrived was none other than Benjamin Grayson. Orin had predicted how dire the situation might be and what it might lead to. He had called Benjamin at once. Sure enough, the situation was highly tense and dangerous. It seemed like Benjamin was the only one who could turn things around now. Even Baron's father would have to respect the nation's founding father. Wilbur and Benjamin also had a meaningful friendship. Surely Wilbur would listen to Benjamin's words. Whitney, Shane, and the rest could hardly believe their eyes. They had thought that Orin Campbell was the biggest figure they would see today. This old man, however, appeared to be someone that even Orin had to pay his respects to. It was clear that he was no regular old man. This was beyond anything Whitney and the rest knew about, a level of power that they would never get the chance to get close to. Just t
Orin had an air about him that was positively terrifying. Whitney was practically trembling in her boots as she stood before him, and so was Shane. Even Orin Campbell had to speak respectfully to Wilbur, and someone as cocky and ruthless as Baron had been taught a fierce lesson by him. That old man, however, was the most terrifying of them all. Even Orin Campbell seemed to be scared of him. But this man seemed nothing but friendly and warm with Wilbur, even inviting the guy over for dinner one day.Their brains went blank, none of them daring to imagine just how terrifyingly powerful Wilbur was.What was going to happen to them now that they had offended someone like that?Just as everyone was worrying about their lives, Orin frowned before saying, "Whatever happened today must be kept completely private. No one is to say a word about it, do you understand?"Who would dare to go against the words of Orin Campbell?Everyone nodded profusely.Orin looked at Wilbur then. "It's not w
Yet, she was just like a little clown, making a fool of herself. In the end, all of her dignity and pride were viciously trampled upon. It shattered everything she had. At that moment, she was even thinking about death as she looked out the window. However, she failed to summon the courage in the end and merely knelt on the ground as she cried loudly. At night, in the presidential suite of a hotel, Yumi sat on the sofa with a frown. Baron, whom she had favored, lost just like that. She was naturally incredibly unhappy about that. She had planned on expanding to Northseecher. However, Baron felt that there were too many hidden dangers in Northseecher, so he chose Seechertown in the end instead. Even though it was not as prosperous as some of the major cities, it was still a top-tier city with a population of millions. So, it had a lot of potential. The political situation was relatively simple as well, which made it easier for them to work with. After the two of
