Wilbur frowned at Harrod, seemingly falling deep into thought. He was more than capable of showing his true skills so that Hannah and Harrod would realize just how powerful he was. He did, however, already have a plan of his own even before getting here. He was in a foreign country now and would be sure to cause an international dispute if he were to cause any explicit trouble. That would just make him a burden to Dasha. It was important to note that on top of Freeca being full of crime syndicates and illegal weapons, the West had also already entered the area and even taken control of the government. It was quite a sticky situation. Thus, Wilbur had never planned to handle any of this using his identity of Wilbur Penn. He could not let Everest Foreign Trade be involved with this either. Or there would be even more trouble after he left. After giving it some thought, Wilbur said, "You can do what you want, then. I'll be supervising the entire progress, though." "T
"No, don't. He's only good at boasting. He doesn't even know what's going on and thinks we're in Dasha. Forget him," said Hannah. Harrod fidgeted worriedly. "What if Cape gives us trouble for this?" "We'll deal with it when it comes. Let's go," said Hannah. Harrod nodded, turning to leave. … At around two o'clock that afternoon, Wilbur switched off his laptop. He headed to the bank after that, withdrawing some money. Wilbur returned to the hotel with a suitcase filled with cash. He stared at the dollar bills, falling deep into thought. These countries were clearly still under the control of other countries. Even their currency was from another nation. What future was there for a country like this? Would things be different if they were to be run the same way Dasha was? Wilbur fell deep into thought. It was unclear how long had passed when he raised his head all of a sudden. He could tell from his inner consciousness that Hannah and the rest had already left Gold
Wilbur saw this but merely smiled before turning away to follow the server up to the second floor. The server pushed one of the doors open with a smile. "This is our cleanest room here, sir." Wilbur peered inside. It looked to be something you would pay below a hundred bucks for in Dasha. It was acceptable, at the very least. He nodded. Just then, the server batted her lashes at Wilbur. "Do you need any other services, sir? I'm really, really good." She leaned into Wilbur, pushing her chest against his arm. Wilbur took out two bills, stuffing them into the server's pocket with a smile. "I'm fine, thank you." "I'll make you feel good, sir. None of those idiots downstairs have ever gotten this special treatment before," said the server. Wilbur smiled. "No, I'm really alright." "Okay." The server looked a little disappointed. As she turned to leave, she said, "Sir, you should keep the door locked if you're on your own. It's safer that way." "Got it. Thank you." The s
She stared at the crystal grains on the floor in confusion. A pause later, she let out a scream that rang through the entire inn. At the same time. Kulu had just woken up as well. He smiled at the sight of his still-asleep wife and children before getting up to head to work. Kulu did not have breakfast, as his children hardly had anything to eat. Just as he pushed the creaky door of his house open, he saw a young man standing in front of him. Kulu widened his eyes in shock, nearly shouting out loud. The next second, his shock turned to fear as he stuttered, "Sir, I-I…" "Always choose kindness. It will lead to a better life for sure." Wilbur smiled, putting down a stack of bills. Just then, the flame serpent whooshed down from the sky. Wilbur leaped onto its back and soared off, disappearing into the clouds. Kulu stood still as a rock, his jaw agape. He stared at the money, his gaze full of disbelief. A while later, Kulu fell to his knees in a series of frantic b
Everett was bloodied all over, his face swollen, and his head leaned over to one side as he limped over. Two of Keith's men threw Everett to the ground, where he lay unmoving in a crumpled heap. Hannah was honestly unsure then if her father was still alive. "Why did you do this to him? You animals!" Hannah shouted, running towards her father. Harrod held her back, his voice sharp. "Calm down." Hannah looked nothing but enraged, but she did her best to reorganize her thoughts. It was not the time to be emotional. "Is my father still alive?" Hannah asked loudly. Keith shrugged. "Of course he is. He's just in this state because he wouldn't work with us." Hannah took several deep breaths. "I'll send you the money now. Bring my father over right after." Keith laughed. "Sure, but there's one more condition now." Hannah shouted at once, "You should keep a promise you've made, Keith." "Hey, am I not? I promised to let your father go. There's just another condition," Keith s
How she was going to explain this to Cape would be a problem for another day. Keith let out a peal of wild laughter at her words. "Sure. Get me ten billion dollars." Hannah nearly went purple with rage. Everest Foreign Trade had been making a loss all this time and was hardly holding on as it was. Upon the agreement with Cape, they had made the initial payment of five billion dollars, which had been used to save Everest Foreign Trade from bankruptcy. After clearing their debt and operation expenses, she was only left with roughly two billion dollars. Besides, that was not money that she could just spend however she wanted. It was still under Cape's supervision. Was this bastard out of his mind, asking for ten billion dollars? That was impossible. Hannah shouted, "Do you really think I can give that to you, Keith? Everest wouldn't even be worth ten billion dollars if I were to sell it. Where am I going to get you that money?" "You can't get me the money?" Keith smirk
Harrod saw this and grabbed her at once, holding her and stopping her from moving. "Not now. I haven't gotten the two billion yet," whispered Harrod. "You animal," Hannah spat. Harrod merely smiled, beckoning at Keith. Keith barked out a laugh, making his way over to Harrod as he eyed Hannah like a hungry beast. Hannah closed her eyes hopelessly. She could not even bring herself to imagine what was going to happen to her. Just then, a figure descended from the sky out of nowhere. The ground shook as though an earthquake had just happened. The cars were tossed into the air before landing on the ground again heavily. Everyone lost their footing, slipping, and falling to the ground as well. A huge cloud of dust kicked up. Everyone looked at where the figure had just landed in shock. The dust slowly cleared to reveal a young, handsome man with short, black hair. He stood with his hand behind his back, staring coldly at Keith and Harrod. Hannah blinked in shock.
The monster merely spun around Keith's weapons and vehicles once, and all of them were destroyed. Countless bodies were torched in the sea of flames. The remaining survivors were scared out of their wits, lying on the ground and wailing in agony. The monster flew in another circle. Upon making sure that there was no counter-attack, it hovered in mid-air, staring at the ground coldly with its enormous eyes. The crowd trembled in its presence, and no one dared to move in the slightest. Just then, the man made his way over to Hannah and Harrod. Hannah was still struck dumb. This man was handsome and charismatic, exuding confidence in his every move. Cool, calm, and collected. Hannah's chest pounded wildly. She felt her mouth going dry, and her body temperature rising steadily. Harrod fell to the ground on his knees. "Please, sir! I'm from Dasha, please spare me." The man eyed him coldly. "Really? You hardly seem human to me." Harrod raised his head shakily. "Ple
