'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
However, Orin instantly understood. That man had probably offended Wilbur. Figuring that out, laughed internally. Wilbur was someone that even Orin himself could not afford to mess with. He could not believe that someone like Chagu Law dared to provoke Wilbur. That guy was truly asking for trouble. "I see. How about I go with you?" Orin offered to take on the task without requiring Wilbur's request. He would be stupid to not seize the opportunity. Wilbur smiled slightly and said, "Sure." Then, Wilbur stood up, and Orin also followed suit. He told Benjamin and Zedeck, "Mister Grayson, Zedeck, please excuse us for a moment. We'll be back shortly." Zedeck was experienced, so he could tell what was happening. He smiled and nodded knowingly. Benjamin shook his head and laughed, then said, "Go on, and hurry back." They nodded and left the private room. Benjamin looked at Zedeck and laughed. He said, "Youngsters these days have quite a temper." "Mister Penn is quite fo
There weren't many people that Orin would call his buddy throughout Kardon Province. Chagu was a department chief, so he was not an idiot. He knew that he messed up badly when he heard that. He quickly bowed to Wilbur out of panic and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry for acting out of line earlier. I offer my sincere apology and hope that you can forgive me." Chagu was scared out of his wits. He did not expect the random young man he met at the elevator to be Orin Campbell's buddy. That was an even lower chance of that happening than him winning the lottery. Moreover, his tone was bad back then. He felt like he was doomed. Chagu felt more afraid when he thought about that, and his legs trembled uncontrollably. Quill was also stunned by fear. 'Orin Campbell's buddy? No way. There's no way we're that unlucky. His outfit is cheap, and he's just an ordinary young man. How can he be Orin Campbell's buddy? No one will believe it,' Quill thought. However, Orin was stan
Chagu scolded him through a clenched jaw, "You f*cker! Didn't you see Orin Campbell showing up in person? What can I do?" Quill instantly did not dare to speak. 'Yeah. Orin Campbell showed up in person. Who can save us now?' thought Quill. Quill wanted to slap himself to death. 'Why did I run my mouth? Why was I such a show-off?' thought Quill. The endless regret made Quill want to die on the spot. Chagu stood abruptly after a moment. He said, "The only solution right now is to apologize and beg for forgiveness. Otherwise, it'll truly be over for us." Quill quickly asked, "Where? How do we apologize?" "Room 888 of course. Where else?" Chagu clenched his jaw. "I'm scared," said Quill. Chagu glared at Quill and said, "Oh, now you're f*cking scared? It's too late for that now. Follow me! Just you wait. If we're not forgiven. I'll deal with you before I'm doomed." Quill almost cried, but he helplessly followed Chagu out of the private room. Wilbur and Orin returned
Orin was furious. Chagu had offended Wilbur, and Mister Grayson had also spoken up. Mister Grayson's words were not to be taken lightly. Not everyone could handle his criticism. The door opened at that moment. Chagu and Quill cautiously walked in. Quill did not dare to look up. He looked at the floor. Chagu almost peed his pants when he saw the old man at that table. 'Isn't the founder of the nation, Benjamin Grayson?' he thought. Of course, he recognized Benjamin as an official with a high status. However, he had no chance to meet him. The terrifying old man was sitting next to that young man. The identity and status of the person who gets to sit next to Benjamin was unimaginable. Orin frowned and said, "Speak." Chagu flinched and said, "I came here to apologize, Mister Campbell. Sir, Mister Grayson, I made a mistake. I shouldn't have…" "Enough," Orin cut him off. 'What the hell? How dare he mention Mister Grayson!' thought Orin. Chagu flinched. He did
Wilbur smiled softly after a long while. He poured himself a cup of tea. "Since when?" Gertridge lowered her gaze and said, "Before I took cover in Sealake Island. They schemed to make me a spy around you back then so that I could provide intel for them. They said they won't hunt me down in return." "Did you say yes?" "Yes. You should know that the assassins won't allow betrayal. Any traitor would be hunted down until they die. I had no choice but to say yes." "So why are you telling me this now?" Wilbur crossed his legs and looked at her. She laughed wryly and replied, "To be honest, you have a greater chance of winning, so I confessed." Wilbur was silent for a moment. "Did they tell you clearly that they are going to assassinate me?" "No, but they kept asking about you. Very often too, mind you. I feel like they were going to make a move soon," she replied. The Twilight Blade behind her silently vanished. Wilbur said, "Good. You made the right choice. I hope you
