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
Wilbur looked Yumi straight in the eye. "Are you doubting my abilities?" "Mister Penn, you're definitely a powerful force. But the five great families each have their own team of ninjas, with powerful elites of their own holding the fort down that are even stronger than some Sanctuary level cultivators," Yumi said. "Your power in Dasha is definitely strong enough to be compared to any one of the five great families, but can you bring all of your men over with you? Besides, what if the other four families gang up against you? You won't be able to win then." "That's not something you have to worry about. Just tell me one thing. Would you like your family to reign supreme?" Wilbur asked calmly. Yumi frowned. Of course, anyone would want their clan to be the most powerful out of them all. But the five great families had a deeply-rooted history in Cherrytopia, and there was not much the nation even dared to do to them. It would be impossible for Wilbur to challenge the five gr
All Wilbur said in response to that was, "We'll act according to what happens." Yumi could not help but sigh at the thought. She really hoped that Wilbur would be strong enough. It was manpower and a fighting force that she lacked. Yumi herself was a Sanctuary level cultivator. But her brothers Yaron and Cyrus were also at the Sanctuary level, with many ninjas working for them as well. Her grandfather, Cain Gardner, was all the more powerful. Yumi's skills were hardly anything in comparison. The plane lifted off the ground, and Yumi took a deep breath. Wilbur's powers were definitely near the Shadow level, and there was still a pretty good chance that he might be able to help her gain control over her family, especially considering the fact that her grandfather was still unwell. She hoped and prayed that there would be no accidents. One wrong move could result in an all-out battle between the five great families, and the Gardners would be in danger of being wiped out
Just as they were about to leave the hall, Seth and his friends appeared and blocked their paths. Wilbur squinted at the lot of them, and Yumi frowned. "Please get out of the way." "Did you think you could get away just like that after pissing me off?" Seth smirked at Yumi, his gaze suggestive. Yumi was definitely a beauty even if she was a little short. She had perfect curves without any flab and had stunning features as well. She was the type that all men would love to have. What Seth did not know, however, was that Yumi was a terrifying existence as well. Yumi frowned. "What do you want?" "What do I want?" Seth laughed loudly. "My friend's going to be here right away. You'll find out what it is I want real soon." "Get out of the way, before I make you." Yumi had a lot on her mind and did not want to waste any time. Her gaze flashed murderously as she looked at them. Seth and his friends burst out laughing at once. To think that a 'weak little girl' like her had sai
