However, Cindy was having none of that. She glared at Nancy and Wilbur, fuming as she shook her head. "You're both beyond saving, I swear. I'm not staying here and arguing with you any further. Do what you want! Don't come crying to me later, Nancy." Cindy got to her feet and was ready to leave. Right on cue, her phone started ringing. She looked at it and picked it up at once. "Hello, Miss Yves? Is something the matter?" Cindy sounded overjoyed. Everyone at Woods Corporate knew that Cape was the real boss behind Woods Corporate, and Faye was pretty much the top dog in Cape. To Cindy, getting a call from Faye herself was an honor in itself. However, Faye's voice was icy cold, "Cindy Vega, you're fired. Please make your way to the company now to sort out your paperwork as soon as possible." "What?" Cindy could hardly believe her ears. Faye ended the call right after that. She could hardly be bothered to continue talking to Cindy. Cindy's mind was in chaos as she held
Santiago's expression turned solemn. His gaze flickered murderously with a faint aura forming around his body. Wilbur smirked, and a powerful unseen force formed around him, enveloping Santiago's aura in no time. In the next moment, Santiago felt like he had plunged headfirst into icy waters. An overwhelming terror washed over him, rendering him helpless. Wilbur sneered and said, "Did you really think that you're able to do something with your measly skill?" Santiago was shocked. He had trained in some European martial arts and was quite skilled in them. He had never witnessed such terrifying energy that was enough to make him lose all his powers in the blink of an eye and make him feel such terror from within. Wilbur said slowly, "Stop struggling. It's not going to work. Come clean with what you were trying to get from Cindy and surrender at once. You won't be breaking too many laws just pretending to hold a position in a global investment group. However, you will get in t
Cindy was in anguish, with tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks. She was supposed to have a bright future, but her greed caused her to be taken advantage of, then fired from her company. She was truly at rock bottom. Yet, she had done all of that to herself. The fault was hers alone. Wilbur got to his feet and said to Nancy, "You stay and comfort her first. I'll be on my way." Nancy nodded silently, knowing that the lunch was over. It would be awkward if Wilbur stayed any longer. That was the only thing he could do. Wilbur glanced at Cindy and sighed. He then went to the counter and paid the bill before leaving. Wilbur could still feel his heart aching over the bill on his way home. 18,000 dollars! He had never been that lavish with his money before. Just as Wilbur was agonizing over that, he brought his car to a stop over the bridge. The car in front of him came to a complete stop. There seemed to be a traffic jam. All Wilbur could do was wait in the car, b
Wilbur could not help but sigh. Wilbur knew something was up from the moment he heard the man's initial shouting. That was why he did not attack immediately. Instead, he wanted to know what was going on before doing anything. Sure enough, his patience has paid off. "Calm down. Tell me what happened and let me see if I can fix it for you. If you keep going like this, you might lose everything and end up in jail for the rest of your life," Wilbur said. Tears streamed down the man's face, and he shook his head. "I've got no choice. There's nothing I can do." "You might not be able to solve the problem, but someone else might. Come on now. Tell me what happened. I might have a solution, you know." Perhaps the man really wanted to let it out. He started talking after Wilbur coaxed him. "A year ago, I was scammed by Kenji Lilith. He made me lose up to ten million dollars in his casino, then persuaded me to take a loan from loan sharks. A year later, the interest racked up to abou
"My good man, stop shaking like that. There are snipers in front and behind us. They can take you down anytime if you don't surrender. It's better if you hide," Wilbur said slowly. The man was shocked. He then moved his head behind Wilbur's body at once. "How did you know that?" "I was once in the army. I've gone through plenty of situations like this," Wilbur said. The man was curled up behind Wilbur, not saying anything as he panicked. Just then, the woman in the white shirt said loudly, "Hey, tell us what you want, and we'll try to give it to you. Please do not hurt the hostage." The man did not know what to say in his panic, and ended up asking Wilbur, "What should I say?" Wilbur smiled. "Honestly, you should calm down first. Organize your thoughts and tell them how this whole situation came to be." Wilbur's firm tone seemed to give the man a little confidence. He began to calm down and think things through. Just then, the woman in the white shirt noticed Wilbur.
Wilbur saw this and shouted at once, "Don't move! He's about to surrender. Look carefully!" Lenny threw the knife in his grasp away and raised his hands. Wilbur raised his hands as well and walked slowly toward the woman. The woman walked up to them and yanked Wilbur over, reaching toward her hip again. Yet just then, Wilbur held down her hands. A force seemed to prevent the lady from moving, and she looked at Wilbur in shock. Wilbur said in a low voice, "This isn't necessary. He's not a threat anymore." Just then, Lenny was kneeling on the ground with his hands in the air. Wilbur let go of the woman's hand, who frowned at him and waved a hand. A group of officers charged forward and hauled Wilbur up at once, putting him in a police car at top speed. Seeing as the situation was already under control, the woman turned to Wilbur. "What's your name?" "Wilbur Penn." "How do you know Lenny Detroit?" "I don't." "Didn't seem like it. What were you two talking about
There had been countless suicide cases caused by borrowing money from loansharks in the past few years alone. Some of those people were merely students. But with the cracking down on these cases and increased law enforcement, they were starting to lessen. However, there was still a good number of powerful forces that refused to back down and insisted on being in the industry. Kenji was going to be quite a pain to deal with. Elsa had her work cut out for her. A long time later, Wilbur shook his head. He would just wait and see, then. It would not be too late for him to do anything if Elsa really failed to find a solution. He usually stayed out of such affairs. They were none of his business, and he could not really do much either. However, Lenny had done as Wilbur had told him to earlier, and in turn, Wilbur had promised to return Lenny's company back to him. It seemed like Wilbur would have to meddle a little if Elsa could not get the job done. He sighed, then closed
Wilbur forced a smile. "What are you thinking about?" "Fine, you don't have to tell me. You're the boss, anyway. I don't have the right to know anything." Faye lowered her head and went back to eating. Wilbur shifted uneasily in his seat. Finally, he said, "She's an ex-classmate of mine. She started dating someone who turned out to be a scammer. I was worried she might get Cape involved, hence I got you to suspend her duties." Faye nodded with a smile. "I see. I have to say, Cindy is really pretty. Are you planning to fire her just like that?" "What else am I supposed to do?" Wilbur pretended to scowl, looking all serious all of a sudden. Faye chuckled, then started to dig into her food heartily. The pair finished eating soon after. Wilbur left his plates and cutlery on the table and rushed back to his room. Faye sighed, then cleared the table silently, bringing the plates to the kitchen. Wilbur got ready early the next morning. He went to the living room and was greete
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
