Wilbur fell into a dilemma, hesitating for a long time. He felt like it would be better to analyze this energy and cultivate it in a safe way than contribute it as a sacrifice. Once he had understood the laws of this energy and cultivated it, he would be able to improve on it just like with other spiritual energy. There was endless potential, and infinite room to grow. Wilbur's Spiritual Furnace would be able to overcome the issue of the clashing of spiritual energies. All of a sudden, he thought of his Second Consciousness. His Second Consciousness was currently in the middle of analyzing the messages he had gotten after advancing levels. The information was quickly shared with Wilbur's host consciousness, and he was able to absorb all the new knowledge. He stopped for a long time before smiling. Upon the analysis of the Second Consciousness, Wilbur had now managed to comprehend how a few theories worked, giving him a whole new understanding of his powers. It seemed
After Wilbur left the room, he drove out with the intention of having a good breakfast. There was a diner around the area that served up great burgers, and Wilbur liked them a lot. It was around noon, so there were quite a few people having lunch there and parking was rather difficult to find as well. Wilbur managed to get a spot at last and was about to park. Just then, a thud rang through the air as the car behind him rear-ended Wilbur's car. Wilbur sighed in frustration. Could he not even have lunch in peace? He got out of the car with a frown. Behind him was a BMW that had dented his trunk. The bumper of the BMW had collapsed as well, half of it lying on the ground. It was, thankfully, not too severe of an accident. Just then, however, a round woman in her forties emerged from the BMW. She was dripping in diamonds and clad in designer clothes from head to toe, despite looking like a hilarious sight. Before Wilbur could say anything, the woman shouted, "Do yo
The people in the diner looked over curiously. The older man held the younger one back, sneering at Wilbur coldly. "Let's talk outside." Wilbur finished the last of his burger, getting up to go outside after that. The woman and both men surrounded Wilbur at once, the woman saying, "Do you know who my husband does for work, young man?" "I don't know, nor do I want to," said Wilbur calmly. The woman said boastfully, "My husband's in the city council, and my son's in the township committee. You're going to jail if you don't pay up. I'd think this through if I were you." The woman looked nothing but arrogant as she spoke as if her family was better than everyone else. That was probably what gave her the guts to speak like that. Her husband and son stared coldly at Wilbur as well. The son was even rolling up his sleeves and cracking his knuckles, as if ready to attack at any moment. Wilbur smirked coldly. "You're not scaring me with your stupid positions. You're only makin
The round woman from earlier was just leaving her house with her husband and son, all of them in a terrible mood. Both parties jumped at the sight of each other. The woman saw who it was and said at once, "Look who it is! I thought I wouldn't be able to find you, but you showed up yourself!" The woman's husband glanced coldly at the fruits he was holding. "Do you think we're going to forgive you just because you showed up with some cheap fruits?" "I'll get someone to come over. There's no way I'm letting this bastard go now," the son said, dialing a number while glowering at Wilbur. Wilbur was speechless. Did he look like he was going to apologize? "Out of the way. I've got somewhere else to be," he said coldly. The woman roared, "He's still trying to run! Do you even know where you are? Security! Security!" The security team watching over Castlebury were proper guards who went on constant patrol. A few guards on patrol rushed over to the woman's cries immediately.
The men surrounded Wilbur at once, raining a sea of attacks on him at full force. The woman and her family smiled smugly. Anyone who dared to mess with them would just meet the same fate. Getting a beating was hardly enough to quell their anger. The authorities would get there any moment. This bastard was pretty much set for jail. Just as the first attack was about to hit Wilbur, he got up and swept a leg out in a flying kick. All at once, the men were sent flying a few meters backward. They cried out in pain, staring at Wilbur in terror as none of them could get up. The woman and her family were shocked. They knew that Wilbur could fight. What they had not expected, however, was that he would be so good at it. One man against eight, and he had taken all of them down with just one move! Was he even human? "D-Don't you dare come any closer!" The woman's son started to panic as he had never seen such a skilled fighter before. The woman stood next to her son, sig
Cameron had not even wanted to be involved in this mess in the first place and knew that there was more to what a lot of these things seemed like. But his superior had ordered him to come and even specified that the person reporting the case was the city council secretary Dorian Kalef. Cameron was told to do a good job and had no other choice. Wilbur sneered coldly at the words. "I guess it's pretty clear you're all going to gang up on me, then." "So what if we are, hm?" the woman's son called out. "You think you're so great just because you can fight, don't you? Well, I've got my own ways of dealing with you." The woman and Dorian smirked at Wilbur. Yes, they had planned to wait until Wilbur was arrested to use their connections to teach him a harsh lesson not to mess with people like them. They wanted to see just how Wilbur was going to beg them for forgiveness. Cameron frowned. "Let's go. Please don't make this difficult for us." He walked over to Wilbur with the oth
Dorian and his family were at a loss for words. Mister Grayson's… buddy? Considering who Benjamin was, realizing that they offended a buddy of his was enough for them to know that they had screwed up. All three of them went pale in the face, beginning to fear for their lives. Wilbur said, "Hey, Mister Grayson. This woman rear-ended me. Not only did she refuse to own up to it, but she even called for her family to come over. They threatened me and attacked me first, so I had no choice but to fight back. These people are only here because they called for them as well. I bumped into them in this neighborhood on the way to see you, and they shouted at once that they were going to take care of me… so I had to protect myself." Wilbur glanced at Dorian and his family after he was done. The entire family was scared out of their wits. None of them had the guts to say a word in front of Benjamin, curling in on themselves and cowering in fear. Benjamin looked at Dorian. "It sounds l
There was also the possibility of someone blowing this story up, using it to force Dorian out of his position. If that were to happen, Dorian and his family would be doomed. The thought made Dorian glower at his wife, roaring, "This is all your fault! You could've messed with anyone in the world, but you chose to mess with Mister Grayson's friend? Are you f*cking blind?" "I-I…" The woman was filled with regret now, but there was nothing she could do about it. Cameron said at once, "Mister Kalef, we'll be heading back to report to our superior now. I think this case is out of our hands. You can reach out to our superior if you have any questions." He left after that with his fellow officer. Meanwhile, Dorian and his family began blaming each other. Not long after, a fight broke out between Dorian and his wife. Their son scrambled to pull them apart, and they looked like a mess. At the same time, Wilbur was taking a seat at Benjamin's dining table. The dishes served wer
