Wilbur looked at them and said slowly, "I never wanted to interfere in the matters of Aroma, but now it seems like you all need some reshuffling." No one dared to object. Strength equaled the right to speak, and they had no right to speak at all in front of Wilbur. Just like how they were in the past with Stiles. "Stiles Dune might be a Super Sanctuary level cultivator, yet he would do despicable things like kidnapping wealthy people and extorting them. What's more, Sanctuary level cultivators like Christopher and the others would actually obey him and do those things." Christopher lowered his head, feeling extremely guilty. "From that, one could see how messy the cultivation circle in Aroma is. It seems like the country has been too lax on you guys. You all have been too proud and arrogant." Everyone shuddered, not daring to say a single word. It was true. If a Sanctuary level cultivator would dare to do that in any other place, the Department of Paranormal Research and De
He was just an Aura-level cultivator, not to mention that he ruined his body with hedonistic desires. Where would he find the courage to go up against Trevor? The most important thing at that moment was to make sure his family was safe. No one knew if Trevor would kill off all of Stiles' family just because of his defeat. Wilbur looked at Mason for a moment before saying, "Just wire the money to Christopher." "Yes, sir," Mason replied fearfully. Wilbur said calmly, "Don't worry. I'm not a despicable person like your father. I will not kill your family. You may go." "Thank you, sir." Mason was not at all sad, but he was also relieved. He bowed and left. As for the ten billion, he would contact Christopher separately. Wilbur sighed and said, "You can go too. I'm about to leave as well." "Sir, once the money arrives, I'll wire it to you," Christopher said. Wilbur nodded and said, "Find those hostages and contact the people from South Market. Get them to take them back. A
Sharon hesitated to speak. She hesitated for a moment before forcing herself to say, "Sir, we can't resolve the conflict if he's Trevor Penn. He won against Stiles Dune. You have to know that he has Tiff's back, so we should…" "What do you mean by that?" yelled Samson. Sharon lowered her gaze and said, "Sir, he might not even remember that woman. Everything will be resolved if we make her disappear." Samson sat slowly and instructed coldly, "Tell Tiff to come to my office immediately. I'm taking her to apologize to him. Don't do anything unnecessary." It was not like he had not thought about it. Perhaps Trevor Penn did not remember Tiff and only used her for his temporary pleasure. He had to consider and overthink because of Trevor Penn's identity. The 'what ifs' plagued his thoughts. What if he did remember, and Samson failed to hand Tiff over to him? What then? Samson could not take that risk. He felt like he should play it safe. He would take Tiff to apologize b
Stiles was defeated and died, so things were about to change in Aroma. Sharon knew how terrifying it was when Stiles ruled Aroma. Those casino owners had bright futures too, but they were like his sons. They were cautious in front of Stiles like they were meeting their authoritative and stern father. Three Sanctuary level cultivators also did not dare to talk back to Stiles. Every casino paid Stiles a portion of their profit each year. It was a significant amount of money. Anyone who dared to disobey Stiles would be eradicated. His methods were brutal, so everyone was afraid. However, Wilbur replaced Stiles. Sharon believed that he would be no different from Stiles. The rulers had always been ruthless. Fortunately, Wilbur would not stay in Aroma for long. She made phone calls to understand the situation. She did not agree with Samson. Samson wanted to bring Tiff to apologize to Wilbur. She thought, 'Tiff is Wilbur's girl. How would Wilbur react if he saw her like th
Sharon looked at her horrified employer and said, "Sir, we'll all die if we release her." Samson slapped her hard in the face. Sharon felt pain as blood dripped from the corner of her mouth. However, she stubbornly looked at Samson and said, "I know men too well. Those who are in power will avenge those who dared to lay their hands on their women. Who do you think Wilbur Penn is? He's someone who killed Stiles Dune. The casino will be doomed if you release Tiff. She has to die." Samson looked at her like he did not know her. He laughed wryly after a long while and said, "I see. I've underestimated you this whole time." Sharon was silent. "I used to think you're daring, charming, and a competent employee. I realize now that you're not only daring, but you're audacious. I can't believe you're trying to fool a Super Sanctuary cultivator. You're much more daring than I am," mumbled Samson. Sharon said with a low voice, "I don't have a choice." "You don't have a choice?" S
He opened his eyes after a moment and said, "Come in." Samson entered anxiously and knelt in front of Wilbur. He said, "Sir, I made a mistake. Please forgive me." "What is it?" Wilbur felt puzzled. He never said he was going to do anything to Samson. Samson cried and said, "Sir, I locked up Tiff Kirk two days ago to investigate your incident at the casino, and she is hurt too. Please forgive me." Wilbur instantly looked displeased. He asked coldly, "Where is she? How is she now?" "She received medical attention. She's outside," replied Samson in a panicked tone. "Send her in," said Wilbur coldly. Samson hurriedly called the two muscular men to carry the stretcher in. Tiff was on the stretcher. Wilbur abruptly stood and walked toward the stretcher and examined Tiff. Her leg bone was poking out of her flesh, and she had injuries everywhere. She received medical attention, but she was barely conscious. Tears streamed down her face when she saw Wilbur, but she could n
It was late at night. Christopher arrived at the hospital. He looked at Wilbur who did not say anything, so he silently waited at a corner. The incident with Tiff instantly caused a buzz among the big shots of Aroma. They could not believe that Samson Honard and Sharon Taver broke the leg of Trevor Penn's woman and that she almost died. It was breaking news to them. Trevor Penn was legendary in Aroma. They wondered why they would dare to mess with his woman. They felt like blood would spill when a man was angry. They felt like he might wash the Aroma streets with blood, it was not impossible for an entity like Trevor. The big shots looked for Christopher expeditiously to discuss strategies. Christopher did not say anything. He rushed to the hospital alone. All he could do was wait. Wilbur held the final say in who lived or died. 'Discuss? Do you all think that a discussion can resolve this problem? It's not a matter of discussion,' Christopher thought. Seven
'Who is that person? Why is he so respectful towards Wilbur?' she thought. Wilbur only nodded. They returned to the hotel soon after, and Wilbur pushed her into the hotel lobby. The usually bustling casino hotel had no crowds. It seemed quiet. The place stopped operating three days ago. The casino owners spent those three days suffering. It could be said that they were handling enormous pressure with each passing moment. Everyone hated Samson to the core. They wanted to tear him to pieces, but they were waiting for Wilbur to give his orders. Samson single-handedly dragged them into this mess again. They barely got out of the mess. Wilbur stopped after he pushed Tiff into the lobby. "Do you remember? We met here," said Wilbur with a lowered gaze. Tiff nodded. She was the first person to notice him and served him when he came into the hotel. Then, those incidents occurred. She said with a nervous tone, "Mister Penn, I think we should go. I don't want anyth
