Miranda felt a little guilty but refused to budge. "What? He broke the law and got arrested. How is that anyone else's fault?" Yvonne looked at her mother and shook her head. "You still don't understand just how powerful he truly is. If it really was you, you'd better apologize right now and clear things up. That way, the Willow family might still be able to survive this." "I did nothing. I had nothing to do with this!" Miranda said hurriedly, turning to leave at once. Regardless, Yvonne was certain that her mother had been the one to arrange for this to happen. She knew what her mother was like, and it was going to be almost impossible to get her to admit to her faults. Yvonne let out a long sigh, falling back in her seat limply. The Willow family was going to be done for. Wilbur put all these worries and troubles at the back of his head and drove to the morning market a few kilometers from the house. It was barely nine in the morning, and the market was still open. The

Wilbur looked around him. All that could be seen was the crowd staring back at him, clearly unimpressed. It was as if they were certain he was destined to die. His gaze then landed on John. "That was a pretty decent aura blow. I suppose it's a little impressive." Gerard stood up at once, pointing at Wilbur. "How cocky! You're saying that an aura blow is only a little impressive? And what level would you happen to be at, hm?" "Me?" Wilbur shook his head. "I'm not too sure about that myself." Matt spoke up then. "That's quite a boast you just made. John, don't waste your time. Send him straight to hell." John smirked, slowly walking towards Wilbur. Wilbur frowned. "John, don't ruin your future like this." "You're out of your mind," John retorted angrily, and everyone else flared up in anger as well. It was clear that Wilbur had no respect for the three clans at all, daring to say something like that in such a dire situation. All at once, the air was filled with various

Just as Jeremy's words rang through the air, Ian was seen walking up to him holding a wooden box. Ian got on his knees, passing the box to Jeremy above his head. Jeremy opened the box with a wave of his hand. He took out a scroll and flicked it open in one swift move. The scroll contained a painting of an elder clad in long robes. There was a sword on the elder's back as his robes billowed in the wind, looking extremely ethereal. At the same time, a powerful pressure surged out from the painting. It enveloped the air, filling it with an unspeakable pressure. Just then, Gerard got to his feet in shock. "Legend has it that the Owens family owns a portrait of an ancient ancestor who holds the power of an elite cultivator! It's said to be the clan jewel. Is this it?" Gerard himself had lost a little composure. It was hardly his fault, after all. The painting was a legendary treasure, and to witness it filled Gerard's chest with awe. Matt was in shock as well, shaking as he st

However, Jeremy bowed to Wilbur deeply. "I thank you for your kindness, Senior, and I deeply regret my actions. Let me send you a gift as an apology." "Oh?" Wilbur was a little surprised. Jeremy looked around him. "The Owens family owns this island. I've underestimated and offended you. I'd like to offer you this island as a gift as an apology." "You're giving this island to me?" Wilbur had honestly not expected this, and he looked at Jeremy in surprise. "This place must cost good money." Jeremy bowed again. "I'm sure money is hardly a problem to you, Senior. This is just a little gift from me, I hope you'll accept it." Wilbur fell silent for some time before saying slowly, "Since you offered, don't mind if I do." "Thank you for accepting this, Senior. I'll arrange for the transfer of the property as soon as possible. It'll be yours very soon," Jeremy said. Wilbur nodded, then turned to leave. Jeremy called out behind him, "From this day on, the Owens family shall take

Wilbur saw that it was a call from Nancy and picked it up at once. "Wilbur, where are you? Do you need me to pick you up?" Nancy's voice came ringing down the line. Wilbur said at once, "Oh, that's alright. I'll be right there." "Great! Be on time, will you?" Nancy said, hanging up after that. Wilbur chuckled. To be honest, he was pretty happy to be able to see his old classmates after so long. He did not have many friends, and it was hard to still be in touch with his classmates after so long. He got in his car and drove to Winston Entertainment. Winston Entertainment was a recreational establishment with food and entertainment services, considered to be rather popular in Seechertown. Half an hour later, Wilbur arrived at the place. He entered the hall and saw Nancy waiting on the couch as if she had been waiting just for him. Nancy saw Wilbur as well and got to her feet at once with a smile. "Come on, everyone's here." Wilbur nodded, following Nancy to one of the ro
