Wilbur brought Kory and his family to his room, sitting them down. Kory and his wife looked pretty nervous. They had only just found out that Wilbur owned such a huge place and had so much money. Neither of them would have been able to tell. "Don't look so anxious. I'll have someone settle you down somewhere here for the next few days until this is settled," Wilbur smiled. Yet Kory still looked antsy. "We don't know how to thank you, Mister Penn. If this really gets solved, you'll have saved all of my family." "Yes, Mister Penn. Please help us," his wife sobbed. Wilbur said, "I told you I'm taking care of this, so I'll be sure to get to the bottom of it. Don't you worry." Kory and his wife nodded. They sat there with their child in their arms, unsure what to do next. Wilbur gave it some thought and called for Lily. Lily showed up, bowing politely to Wilbur. "You were looking for me, sir?" "Yes, I was. Get Mister Hunlip and his family settled in a room. You'll take car
"Is anything the matter, then?" Wilbur asked. Jayen said, "I'm here for Kory Hunlip. Heard he's here now." "That's right. He's a guest of mine, you can talk to me." "Yeah? Well, are you going to pay his debt for him too, then?" Jayen asked in a deep voice. Wilbur chuckled. "Whoever applied for that loan would be paying." Jayen tossed a stack of documents onto the table. "Here's all the proof that you need to know. He applied for the loan himself." "Really? Why do I feel like he didn't?" "The truth's not going to change just because you want it to. I'm telling you, I've dealt with bastards like you before who refuse to pay up! Don't make me give you a hard time," Jayen spat. Wilbur's expression darkened. "I was thinking of giving you a chance, but it seems that I've overestimated all of you. Well, since you think you're above the law, I'm going to have to give you a hard time too." "Give me a hard time?" Jayen snorted. "I've yet to meet anyone in Seechertown who dared
A brief silence later, Jayen spoke up nervously. "I-I'm just here for repayment demands following a loan contract with the bank! We're a legal company here." "You? Legal?" Wilbur snorted. "So you can push people to the brink of death just because you're a legal company?" "That's not exactly what I'm after!" Jayen broke out into a sweat, doing his best to explain himself. Just then, however, Wilbur said, "I don't believe that you didn't know there was something wrong with this loan." "I really don't know anything!" Jayen cowered at once, devoid of any of the cockiness from before. Wilbur said, "Okay, sure. We'll just wait for the bank president to get here, then. I'm sure he'll tell the truth, and we can get to the bottom of this." Elsa chuckled, waving her hand. The Special Forces agents kicked Jayen's men to the floor, shouting at them to put their hands behind their hands. Bobby and the rest were scared out of their wits, trembling as they complied. They were more t
Jerm's soul almost left his body. He had never expected him to get into trouble all of a sudden. Jerm was one of the higher-ups and had so many connections. How had no one at least given him a heads-up? Belinda was also scared out of her wits. She had worked together with Jerm all these years, leaving finance to enter the banking industry. The two of them had been involved in a great deal of terrible, terrible acts. She was going to spend the rest of her life in jail if she was investigated. Belinda's chest heaved as she sat in the meeting room, sweat pouring down her back. Jayen's face paled even more at the sight of Jerm being brought in, staring at Wilbur in disbelief. Jayen had come to realize that he had severely underestimated just what this young man was capable of. He had even gotten people from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Just then, Wilbur got to his feet and walked over to Jayen. "Which one of you wants to go first?" Jayen opened
Kory and his wife's chests lurched at those words. It was unclear to them just who was being unfair here. The officers hauled Jayen onto a chair, pressing him down by force. Jayen was black and blue all over, with blood dribbling out of his nostrils as he slumped against the chair, heaving in pain. Bobby and the other men nearly wet their pants, collapsing to the ground as some of them even broke into tears. At last, Belinda coughed up the truth. It turned out that Jerm had worked together with a businessman to steal Kory's information to take out a loan in his name for eighty million dollars. Both Jerm and the businessman had split the money equally. Eventually, when the loan was due, Jerm had Belinda fake the loan procedures to make this look like a case of bad debt. They had done similar things in the past before as well, only for bank security to grow stricter in the next three years. Faking a case of bad debt was not going to work. That was why they had hunted
"Yes, sir," two of Faron's men called out, doing as they were told. Elsa spoke up as well. "Bring Jayen Toss and all his men back for an investigation. See if they're involved in any other cases." "Yes, madam!" A group of Special Forces agents sprang into action. Just then, Faron looked over at Kory and his wife, unsure of what to say. Elsa came up to Lily. "Why don't you let them get some rest for now?" Lily nodded, looking at Kory and his wife. Both of them felt like a huge weight had lifted off their shoulders, bowing to Faron and Elsa before leaving. Their case had been solved in a way neither of them had expected. After everyone was gone, Faron and Elsa exchanged looks of confusion. "Wilbur's in a mood today." "He sure is. What happened?" "How would I know?" "Wanna ask him out for a drink?" "That's not a bad idea." "Let's go." The both of them draped an arm around each other's shoulders, heading for Wilbur's room. When they opened the door, they saw
Wilbur's brows furrowed slightly. He had never really been involved with Cape's business side of things. However, it would not be good for the company at all if such a big investment was to go awry. Wilbur gave it some thought, before saying, "Book me the next flight. I'll go personally." "You want to go by yourself?" Faye asked, surprised. Wilbur nodded. "I know nothing about what's happening there. I think it's best I go and help whoever I can, then take a look at the situation before worrying about the security team." Faye fell silent. That seemed like a pretty good plan. The chairman of Everest was still waiting to be saved, and there was no way they were going to hand over the hundred-million-dollar ransom. If they were to do that, those criminals would only ask for more. They would have to be put in their place so they would never try to mess with Everest Foreign Trade anymore. "Thank you for doing this," said Faye. Wilbur nodded, and Faye called her secreta
Hannah now prayed that Cape would get someone over as soon as possible who could think of a way to save her father. Just then, her secretary knocked on the door. "Miss Toya, the guy from Cape's here." "Bring him in, quick!" Hannah lit up at once, surprised at how soon they had shown up. The secretary turned around and gestured to someone outside, and a young man walked into the office. Hannah gave him a once-over. The man looked to be in his twenties. He had sharp features but looked pretty ordinary overall. "Hello. You're Miss Hannah Toya, right?" asked the young man. Hannah nodded, getting up and extending a hand to the young man. "Yes, I'm Hannah Toya. How should I address you?" "My name's Wilbur Penn. Cape sent me to save your father," Wilbur said with a smile. Hannah nodded, scrambling to brew Wilbur a pot of tea. At the same time, Wilbur took a look at Hannah as well. She was also in her twenties, sporting a pretty face and a healthy tan. Hannah poured W
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
