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
"What gift?" Faye walked up to Wilbur. She saw that he had used up quite a few sheets of paper but could not for the life of her figure out what he was writing or drawing. Wilbur said, "Stop looking, you won't understand it anyways. I won't be having dinner at home. You'll have to settle dinner on your own. I'm going to the Graysons'." "Home." The words made Faye smile, her chest thumping with warmth. Yet Wilbur did not understand the consequences of what he had just said to Faye and hurried out of the door with the pieces of paper. At the same time. Over at the Grayson household, the chef had prepared a table full of dishes, and Benjamin had also taken out his finest wine. Benjamin, Gordon, and Susie sat on the sofa, waiting quietly for their guest. Just then, the doorbell rang. Susie hurried to open the door. "You're here, Sir! Please, come in." Susie's treatment of Wilbur seemed to have changed overnight. It could be said that she practically saw him as a god now. Af
With Benjamin's recommendation, entering the national system would be a piece of cake. Yet Wilbur merely smiled and said, "Master Grayson, I'm used to the quiet life now. I've got my own affairs to handle too. I hope you won't push me into this." Benjamin sighed softly. "Every man has his goal, and I won't give you a hard time. I just hope your heart stays loyal to the nation." Wilbur's brows furrowed slightly, and he understood the implication of Benjamin's words. "Don't worry, Master Benjamin. It's never been anything but." He then turned to leave, walking towards his house. Benjamin watched his leaving figure until it disappeared from his sight before turning around and heading back inside. Wilbur returned home to the sight of Faye leaning against the sofa in a skimpy nightgown. She had fallen asleep. The neckline of the nightgown had fallen open, and it was a view too much to handle. Wilbur took one glance and fled to his room at once. The next morning. Wilbur wok
Nancy said at once, "Hey, watch your tone." "What? Am I wrong?" Cindy replied, indignant. "He's just some lowlife who doesn't even have a job yet! Gosh, I sure hope you don't end up getting scammed by him." Nancy shook her head helplessly. It seemed like Cindy was still ignorant of how powerful Wilbur was from the way she spoke of him. "Him? Scamming me? That's impossible. You don't know what you're talking about," was all Nancy could say. Cindy, however, took a seat right next to Nancy. "I heard that you're now the general manager at Willow Corp?" "Uh, I'm just the general manager of one of the departments there." Cindy chuckled. "That's all I need to know. You're a manager now, and that idiot Wilbur doesn't even have a job! He's using your relationship as an ex-classmate to cheat you into a relationship. Isn't that obvious?" Nancy was dumbstruck. She did not understand just how Cindy's brain worked to think so poorly of someone. A moment later, Nancy shook her head. "
It was clear that she was trying to imply that it was time for Cindy to leave. However, Cindy did not seem to understand what Nancy's gaze meant. Instead, Cindy sat her boyfriend down as well. "Since we happened to run into each other, let's have lunch together." "Uhm… I would hate to disrupt you and your friend," Nancy said in a small voice. Cindy chuckled. "Oh, it's no disruption! The more the merrier!" Nancy did not know what to say, lowering her head quietly. To tell the truth, she did not want to see Cindy or eat with her. However, she could not bring herself to say so. Wilbur merely said, "Sure. I guess fate is a strange thing." Cindy piped up then. "Wilbur, I heard Nancy invited you to lunch here?" "Yes, she did," Wilbur said. Cindy let out a mocking laugh. "Do you know how much a meal here costs?" "I wouldn't know. I rarely eat at places like this." That was the truth. Wilbur did not really like fine dining, so he was honestly unsure. Cindy smirked. "A
Cindy's stuck her chin out haughtily. "He's a higher-up of a global investment group, and about to be the CEO of the Dasha branch. That's the kind of man people like Nancy deserve, not some loser like you." Wilbur was speechless. How was he a loser all of a sudden? It was true that he remembered Cindy to be the most popular girl in school back then. All the boys wanted to get with her but were turned down, and she was nicknamed 'Ice Queen' because of that. All of that, just for her to be changing boyfriends like it was nothing right now… It was truly a big shift. Cindy saw Wilbur staying silent and grew even more smug. "Now you know the difference. Remember now, don't even think about hitting on Nancy. Got it?" Nancy could not stand it anymore and hurried to say, "Cindy, you've got it wrong. It really isn't what you think." "Oh, you," Cindy said, looking pitifully at Nancy. "You've got the body and the looks. I might be better looking overall, but you're still quite a beaut
Wilbur dug in, glancing at the foreign man. Something felt off about everything Cindy had just said. How did she end up with some influential foreign guy just like that? Wilbur thought it through and pretended to pick up his phone. He sneakily took a photo of the foreign man and sent it to his top hacker and sniper friend, Layla. He captioned the photo with the man's name— Ricardo Licorica. After sending the text, Wilbur could not help but let out a chuckle. What a ridiculous last name this guy had. Within ten minutes, he received a reply from Layla. There was a Waller Street Investment Group, but there was no such person by the name of Ricardo Licorica. The man's real name was Santiago Tivella, a notorious scammer who had been involved in countless scams and had a warrant put out for him. He had been on the run for over a year. Wilbur shook his head. It looked like Cindy had been targeted. But Woods Corporate was under Cape, which would suffer a loss as well if Cindy 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
