The woman looked at the blond man. "Remember not to taint or take advantage of her. She was once one of us, after all." "Got it, Big Sis." The blond man let out a string of strange laughter. It was morning. Wilbur sat in the living room fiddling with a token in his hands, trying to sense the mysterious energy in it. Just then, Faye came downstairs. "Good morning, Boss." "You don't have to call me that, you know," Wilbur said, shaking his head. Faye replied, "Well, some boundaries are still necessary when it comes to work. By the way, your car's fixed." She handed a set of keys to Wilbur. Wilbur's car had been damaged during the confrontation with Jose and Duran, and he had been relying on e-hailing services for the past few days. Wilbur nodded. "Thank you." "See you, Boss. Master Jose's right outside. Remember to eat." Faye left the house after that, her heels clacking on the floor. Wilbur sighed as Faye left. Faye was definitely a qualified partner to have, wit
"And what if I happen to be above the law? What about it?" The man said, a nasty smile on his face. Wilbur was immediately annoyed by his response. He was about to have a little "chat" with the man when the owner of the cafe rushed over. "Don't get angry, everyone! Please, let's all calm down a little." "He hasn't paid," Wilbur reminded the owner. The owner looked meaningfully at Wilbur, turning to smile at the trio. "Have a nice day, and please come again." Wilbur raised his eyebrows. The trio, however, were fired up and said to Wilbur, "See, I just didn't pay and got away with it. Got a problem with that?" Wilbur frowned, looking at the cafe owner. The cafe owner sighed softly, whispering to Wilbur, "That guy's from the food safety department. He's in charge of this side of town. He's not to be messed with." So that was the case. Yet Wilbur was still indignant. The authorities these days were considerably well-behaved. How did people like this still exist? Wilbur
Wilbur chuckled. "I'll be waiting, then. Come at me." Bernie was going to explode with rage. He could not bear to lose his pride just like that, but Wilbur's strength was something he was wary of. Yet he did not believe that Wilbur was all that powerful at all. Bernie took out his phone and made a few calls. He then sat down with his friend at another table and waited. The cafe owner was beside himself in panic at the sight, but there was nothing he could do. A little over ten minutes later, an SUV pulled up in front of the cafe. Five big guys got out of the car. The leader of the group hurried up to Bernie. "What's the matter, Boss?" The sight of those men gave Bernie an immediate surge of confidence. He was actually just a thug before his uncle got him the job and had made lots of friends with dubious backgrounds. After becoming a hygiene inspector, he would use his authority to threaten and bully weaker forces. Everyone was not only afraid of his status but also th
The owner came up to Wilbur and whispered to him, "Dude, don't do this to yourself. He's got some big connections. You won't be able to trump him." "Oh, I'm not worried about that. I'll take care of all of them today and make sure no one gives you trouble in the future," Wilbur said calmly. The owner knew that he would not be able to talk Wilbur out of this, thus he retreated to the side silently. He could also tell by now that Wilbur was not just any random person. Despite the fact that this altercation had happened in his cafe, there was nothing he could do about it anymore. Just then, Wilbur had heard everything Bernie had said on the phone clearly with his heightened senses. It hardly fazed him, and he was looking forward to teaching both Bernie and that uncle of his a lesson that day. At that thought, Wilbur was about to make a call to Faye and have her get the most important person in the food safety department to come over and have a look at the kind of people work
Bernie hurried up to the man at once. "Uncle… I mean, Mister Coop! This cafe failed their hygiene inspection, so I came to tell them to cease operations. However, the cafe owner didn't listen to me and got his friends to beat us all up! Look! My teeth are all crooked now." Harrod Coop rolled his eyes, glaring at his nephew. He knew just what kind of person his nephew was, and that he was twisting the truth for sure. However, he could not just let his nephew get beaten up without doing anything, or his nephew's ferocious mother would give him a hard time. So, he raised his voice authoritatively. "Who was it who hit you?" Bernie pointed at Wilbur at once. "It was him!" Harrod strode up to Wilbur. "Did you beat these people up?" "That's what I did," Wilbur said calmly. Harrod looked at the indifferent expression on his face and felt irritated right away. "Young man, do you know it's illegal to assault others? I could have you arrested," Harrod said, his tone threatening.
Aside from that, if Mister Brigado were to run an inspection on Harrod himself… all the stunts he had pulled over the years would be exposed. Harrod's legs began to wobble at that thought. His subordinates did not know what to do seeing him like this. Bernie, however, was still oblivious. "Mister Coop, come on! Get rid of him!" Harrod wanted nothing more than to slap this idiot of a nephew of his in the face. Yet what mattered most right then was saving himself. A brief pause later, he got an idea and shouted, "Bernie Doebrook, what happened here/" Bernie was caught off guard. He looked at Harrod and said, "Uncle Harrod, I've told you everything on the phone." "You didn't tell me sh*t! Sir, if you could please come over here for a moment," Harrod called out to the cafe owner. The cafe owner was confused himself, shaking as he walked up to Harrod. Harrod said in a friendly tone, "Sir, tell me the truth here. Did he refuse to pay for his meal?" The cafe owner nodded
That was who this man was! Gordon Grayson, son of one of the nation's heroes Benjamin Grayson! Everyone was certain that Gordon would become one of the most important people in the country in the future. Just then, Harrod was ready to die. His legs wobbled and he fell to the ground. Bernie did not know what was happening at all and hurried to help his uncle up. "Uncle Harrod! What's the matter with you?" Gordon smiled and shook Chase's hand. "I had some free time today and happened to run into one of your men bullying a small cafe owner. I couldn't stand it, so I gave you a call. Chase's expression shifted at once. People like Gordon had very specific ways of talking about things. Even if something big had happened, it would usually be described as vaguely as possible and then handled behind doors so everyone would be able to maintain their pride. Gordon saying something like that pretty much meant that this was a serious matter, and that Chase would be on his bad si
"Yes…" There was no way Harrod was going to deny this and could only accept his fate. Chase's expression darkened. "You're suspended from your position starting this very second. You and your nephew will undergo investigation in the meantime, which I will see to personally and no mercy will be shown." Harrod nearly fainted at the words. The thought of Chase finding out about his little schemes in the past and the consequences that were to come was too much for Harrod. With that, he keeled over and fell unconscious. Bernie finally realized that he had messed up big time, and his legs began to wobble. Chase had only brought one other person with him, but the power that radiated off him was undeniable. With the way Harrod was looking, Bernie knew that the arrival of this guy implied that he was done for. Just then, the secretary behind Chase looked at the officers Harrod had come with. "What are you waiting for? Take these two where they need to be. You lot are going to unde
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
