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
Everyone knew that someone had to pay. Blood would spill when a man was angry. They were afraid that blood would wash the streets when a Sanctuary level cultivator was angry. They hoped they were not involved. Everyone felt frightened and anxious. They were cursing out Samson, Sharon, and their ancestors inside. Tiff realized at that moment that drastic changes occurred in Aroma over the past few days. 'What the hell did this guy do to make a bunch of big shots kneel and quiver?' thought Tiff. She was confused, shocked, and puzzled. She looked at Wilbur in a daze. Wilbur said nonchalantly, "Don't be scared. I'm a fair person, and I don't like to harm the innocent." Everyone had to sigh in relief when they heard that. One of the owners went limp and fell to the floor. He was barely holding on, so he lost his strength when he sighed. Wilbur frowned and said, "Stand up, Samson Honard." Samson flinched and struggled to stand up straight. "You suspected that I
'Does it mean that I call the shots in Aroma from now on? That's impossible, right?' she wondered. She could not process all that information at that moment. Wilbur patted her head and smiled, then said, "Christopher will explain any questions you may have. Just go ahead and ask him." Tiff nodded in a daze, she could not snap out of it. Wilbur said, "I'm sorry, but I received a call yesterday and I have to rush back to attend to some matters. Call me if you need anything." "Alright." Tiff nodded in a confused way. Wilbur stood and glanced at everyone before he left. "Goodbye, Mister Penn," yelled Christopher. Everyone quickly followed and yelled, "Goodbye, Mister Penn!" Wilbur was gone. Christopher bowed in front of Tiff and asked softly, "What should we do next, Miss Kirk?" "What do you mean?" Tiff still looked confused. Christopher replied, "Do we need to rearrange the dividend rules for all casinos? Where would you like your office to be? Where would you like
Wilbur looked displeased. Suddenly, a man with a wide-stride walk came over with his secretary. "What's going on?" asked the man while frowning. He had an authoritative tone. "I don't know where this guy came from, Chief Law. I can't believe he dared to get in your way. How mannerless of him," said the middle-aged man. The man with the authoritative tone glanced at Wilbur, then he looked at the elevator. It was clear that he did not want to argue with Wilbur. Wilbur scoffed coldly and shook his head. The middle-aged man yelled, "What do you mean by that, dude? Do you know who he is?" "Who is he? Is he someone awesome?" asked Wilbur sarcastically. The middle-aged man scoffed coldly and replied, "This is Mister Chagu Law, the chief of the Seechertown Commerce Department. Why don't you get lost and make way, eh?" "Oh wow, I'm so scared," said Wilbur sarcastically. His attitude made the middle-aged man furious and was just about to scold Wilbur. However, Chagu frown
"I'm looking for Zedeck Yonis," said Wilbur nonchalantly. One of the men hurriedly asked, "And you are?" "Wilbur Penn." "Sorry, Mister Penn. We did not recognize you, please forgive us." Wilbur laughed and said, "It's alright." They seemed to be Zedeck's bodyguards. It was honestly because of the location. Seecher Hotel was a hotel where government officials often gathered, so it was basically safe. It was why Zedeck only brought two bodyguards. Otherwise, the security would be strict for Zedeck. They hurriedly opened the door. One of them led Wilbur inside. He saw a huge hall with wonderful decor. The surroundings were beautiful. They passed through the hall, and there was a private room in the back. Only the elites of Seechertown were allowed there. Private room number 888 was a room that could not be reserved by the general public. They opened the door for Wilbur. Zedeck was sitting inside. Zedeck hurriedly stood when he saw Wilbur. He enthusiasticall
