"Argh! Help!" Wilbur scrambled to put the cauldron piece away, rushing out to take a look. Punter was crawling along the hallway, covered in blood. His eyes lit up at the sight of Wilbur, before filling with terror the next second. At the last second, Wilbur whipped around, sticking his left arm out to block the attack from a black sword. A man in a black suit and a black hat appeared in front of him. "Oh?" Wilbur recognized the man at once. He had appeared at the entrance of Tuttle Mine with Buck earlier. There was no doubt that he worked for Buck. Just like Wilbur had guessed, Buck, too, had a deeply entrenched disdain and discrimination toward Dashans. Wilbur, a Dashan, had passed Buck's test and gotten a grade two rating, as well as made it out of Tuttle Mine with one hundred and ninety-eight kilograms of copper ore. This was humiliating to Buck, and there was no way he was going to allow this to happen. Thus, Wilbur was not leaving Bruille Town alive. The assailant's e
An Emperor level cultivator was a terrifying existence. Punter was shocked when Wilbur slowly approached him. Wilbur bent over to look at Punter, who was lying on the floor, and asked, "Are you alright? Hang on, I'll get you to the hospital right now." Just as Wilbur was about to get up, Punter grabbed his hand and said, "No! I can't go to the hospital right now. If I do, Buck will know. He will send assassins for sure. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the night if that's the case. Please, don't bring me to the hospital." Punter looked at Wilbur with begging eyes. Wilbur paused for a moment and said, "Alright, we won't go to the hospital, but you're badly injured. Do you have a better solution?" "Yes." Punter sighed in relief and took his phone out. He passed it to Wilbur and said, "I know Doctor Erin from the town's hospital. Help me call her here. Doctor Erin is very professional, and she'll treat my injuries." "Alright." Wilbur knew that Punter had special connect
Punter grabbed her hand and passed her a card. "No." Erin teared up and said, "If I take what's yours, people will think I'm only after your money. I don't care about these things.""I know, but you did help me, so I must treat you well." Erin looked at the card in her hand and said, "Fine. Consider it as keeping it safe with me. Come and find me whenever you want it back." "Alright." "I'll be leaving then." "Can't we chat for a little longer?" Punter grabbed her hand, so she felt flustered. She lowered her gaze and pulled her hand back. She replied, "No, you're badly injured. You should rest well. I'll visit you again when you're healed." "Okay." Punter sighed after Erin left, then said, "I didn't expect to fall for Mister Buck's tricks after being in the business for decades. I'm afraid I can't stay in Eweyn after offending him like this. Mister Penn, can you take me with you?" "You're badly injured. Can you walk?" asked Wilbur. "It's alright. No one will see
He closed the door, and the inside of the car felt separate from the outside because the windows were soundproof, so even though it was noisy outside, there was no noise in the car. Buck did not seem to be in a hurry to start the car. He picked up a can of chips instead and passed it to Wilbur. "Want some?" Wilbur did not mind either. He accepted the chips and ate them. Buck picked up another can of chips for himself and asked as he ate them, "You killed my subordinate, Brian, didn't you?" Wilbur paused for a moment before replying, "Do you mean the man in the black suit?" "That's right. His name is Brian. He's my best guy. Did you kill him?" Buck turned to look at Wilbur, but Wilbur calmly ate chips. He replied, "Yes, but he wouldn't have to die if he didn't show up last night." There was a menacing glint in Buck's eyes. Suddenly, it started raining heavily, and thunder rumbled in the dark clouds. Buck smirked and looked up abruptly before laughing maniacally. Wilbur sto
Very soon, Buck was following closely behind Wilbur once more. At that moment, Wilbur was Buck's prey. After many modifications, Buck's car was capable of high speeds and robust safety features installed. Buck continuously bumped Wilbur's car, then purposely slowed down to put some distance between the cars. Wilbur glanced through the rearview mirror and knew that Buck would not let him go that easily. Therefore, he did not dare to relax. As expected, Buck sped up again. Wilbur finally noticed what Buck was up to. There was a turning up ahead that was right by a cliff. The cliff turning could be made safely at normal speeds, but Wilbur knew that Buck would not allow him to do so. Vroom! Buck sped up and rammed into Wilbur's car when they were less than fifty meters from the cliff. After ramming into Wilbur's car, Buck did not slow down at all. Instead, he accelerated his car further to push Wilbur's car toward the cliff. Wilbur's car flew forward at that moment, and Buc
When the person who guarded the Swili International Airport parking lot saw Wilbur again, he was stunned. It was as if he could not believe that Wilbur could defeat Buck. Wilbur casually glanced at him, then walked into the airport. He bought a plane ticket to Seol at the main hall. He wanted to fly to Seol because he detected the pieces of the ninth dragon cauldron through his spirit consciousness the night before. He found out that the second piece of the cauldron was in a lake in Vicente Primeval Forest, the northern forest of Seol. He did not pre-book the ticket, so there was a three-hour wait. The earliest flight toward Baywen International Airport in Seol was three hours later. Wilbur bought the ticket and some food and then entered the boarding room. He had a simple meal, then took his phone out and started to study some important information Layla provided him on Seol and Vicente. Seol was a small nation, and it was mainly for tourism. The northern area had extraordinar
Wilbur looked up at the endless forest. He wanted to walk through the forest and reach the immortal realm. However, since someone noticed him and he needed to know more about Vicente Primeval Forest, he decided to accept their invitation. "Alright. I'm honored to join your exploration team." Wilbur reached his hand out to shake hands with Mitch. Mitch looked back at his explore crew and smiled. He shook hands with Wilbur and said, "Welcome to our exploration team, young man. By the way, I'm Mitch. You can call me Captain Mitch. Also, what's your name?" "I'm Wilbur Penn." "So, your name is Wilbur Penn. Hello, Wilbur. It's nice to meet you." "Thanks for looking out for me, Captain Mitch." Mitch smiled and said, "Oh, of course, but there's one condition." "Condition?" Wilbur looked at Mitch puzzlingly. Mitch looked nonchalant at that moment. He nodded and replied, "That's right, there's one condition. You see, we have eight people here. We hope that you can drive us back whe
Wilbur frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Could it be that you're chickening out?" "Ha, chickening out? How can that be?" Mitch placed a hand around Wilbur's shoulder and said, "I'm telling you that the forest is very dangerous. If we encounter a lot of bloodsucking bugs in Vicente Primeval Forest, it'll be hard for us to continue onward. We will have to turn back. Do you understand?" Wilbur nodded and replied, "Alright, I got it." "Okay, then. Let's get ready. We'll depart right away!" Wilbur did some simple preparations, then he followed the exploration team led by Mitch into the forest. The first five hundred meters were fine as the threats in those areas were eliminated due to the constant visits from explorers. However, they were still in Vicente Primeval Forest, after all. The trees were far larger than the trees elsewhere. Moreover, the foliage in the forest was dense, so there was barely any light that made it through those thick leaves. It was very dark, and they co
