Semua Bab Living With My Lady Boss: Bab 2631 - Bab 2640

Wilbur noticed Augheimer's surprise, so he frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Are you that surprised?" "I'm indeed very surprised. You probably don't know what Senior Horne is capable of. As far as I know, he managed to earn hundreds of gold coins in only three months. That's something that would take others hundreds of years to achieve. I can help you ask around for his whereabouts, but you should know that the Reyne family has strict security. Ordinary cultivators are not allowed to be near the head of the family. For now, I'm not able to do that," Augheimer replied. "Yeah, thanks. I look forward to good news," Wilbur said. Wilbur wanted to leave, so Augheimer stopped him by saying, "Wait, Wilbur. I have a request. You should know that cultivating in Buck Town is very difficult, so I hope you can help me out." Wilbur turned to look at Augheimer upon hearing that. He nodded and said, "I understand. I can give you fifty gold coins for now. Once I rescue Senior Horne, I'll give y

In other words, the Eight Great Families were an exception in Buck Town. The killing would not work upon encountering members of the Eight Great Families. If a member of the Eight Great Families was attacked and killed without them initiating the fight, their respective family would send people to hunt down and kill the assailant. That was precisely why the members of the Eight Great Families had immunity. They had a safe place in Buck Town with the town tokens granted by the Eight Great Families. They would not be killed as long as they did not provoke others. Many cultivators went to great lengths to join the Eight Great Families. Unfortunately, the Eight Great Families only select a thousand individuals from the tens of thousands of slaves arriving in Buck Town each day. The other slaves were not accepted unless they possessed exceptional cultivation, managed to survive on their own, ranked as the top ten cultivators of the four major trial grounds, or succeeded in the semiannua

Babbit told Felix on the shores of Planter Lake that he wanted him to be his eternal servant. Truthfully, Babbit was trying to reassure Felix because he knew that Felix was an expert thief. Babbit hoped that Felix could steal the Dark Mask from Edmund for him. Moreover, when Felix mentioned that Wilbur was under the protection of an upper-dimension cultivator, it became a source of uneasiness for Babbit. The cultivation level of upper-dimension cultivators was incredibly powerful, and if they came looking for Felix, they might not only take him away but also pose a direct threat to Babbit. Babbit did not want new troubles with the internal conflicts in Buck Town still unresolved. Therefore, Babbit needed Felix to act quickly. He felt that if Wilbur came looking for trouble while Felix was gone to Edmund's residence, he could blame it all on Edmund. If Wilbur did not appear, and Felix stole the Dark Mask successfully, the heads of the Eight Great Families could work together and k

Felix stood up from the ground, clutching his chest and enduring the pain. Watching Edmund's back, he was deeply shocked. Felix had initially believed that although Edmund had some power, he was at a relative disadvantage by opposing the Eight Great Families. In such a situation, Edmund would certainly appreciate every cultivator willing to join him and work for him. Felix had chosen to join Edmund at this time to gain his favor, thinking that by having a dual identity, he could benefit from both sides. However, Edmund has finally revealed his ambition. Felix, who was very skilled at understanding others' thoughts, had not seen through Edmund in the past. Now, he finally realized that Edmund's kindness was just an illusion. He merely saw Felix as a pawn. Tonight, if Felix completed Edmund's wish by using a trick to remove Babbit, the head of the Reyne family, then from now on, with Edmund in control of the Reyne family, he would have no more enemies in Buck Town. By then, Felix

However, after waiting for a few seconds, the Soul Devouring Curse on the Dark Mask did not activate. On the contrary, a powerful energy was continuously being injected into Felix's body. Instinctively releasing the energy, Felix said, "Sir, it seems Edmund did not place a Soul Devouring Curse on this Dark Mask." "Good job. Now, take off the mask and give it to me." "Yes, sir." Felix took off the mask and handed it to Babbit, secretly breathing a sigh of relief. He was also puzzled, as Edmund had claimed to have cast a Soul Devouring Curse on the Dark Mask. Why, then, was there no reaction when he wore it? Babbit took the Dark Mask, hesitated for two seconds, and said to Felix, "Felix, you have nothing else to do here for now. Go and tend to your wounds." "Yes, sir." Felix turned and left. After the chamber returned to silence, Babbit looked at the Dark Mask in his hand, a smile forming on his lips. He said, "Lord Edmund, we've been battling each other openly and secretly f
