The pair continued to chat idly about their time in school just like that. Nancy was currently feeling a whole load of complicated emotions. Running into Wilbur had been a complete coincidence. He had once been Nancy's deskmate, and she knew that Wilbur had lost his parents when he was young. He lived with his grandfather and had never been very well off. That was why she had taken pretty good care of Wilbur in school. It could be said that there had been a bit of a spark between the two. But they were both so young then and hardly even understood what they were feeling before they were separated. Seeing Wilbur again after over a decade, he seemed like a completely different person with some kind of superpower in him. Nancy was no fool. She could deduce from Steve's words that Mister Torrent was someone of power. But the second Wilbur showed up, Mister Torrent turned into a meek little cat. That meant that Wilbur was on another level. However, Wilbur did not seem to w
The kick was heavy and quick as lightning. Nancy shuddered from where she was in the car, covering her mouth in terror. Just then, Wilbur smirked coldly before sending out a strong attack. Both attacks collided with a loud bang, rumbling loudly in the air. Wilbur's attack hit the assailant right at the bottom of his foot. A strong burst of power practically blew up the attacker's foot, filling the air around them with a spray of blood. The attacker let out a cry of agony, stumbling backward on one leg as he stared at Wilbur in disbelief. Wilbur turned around to stare at Jose. "You're telling me that this weakling was trying to kill you?" Jose said shamefully, "Sir, my cultivation level is not as strong as his. I'm no match for him." However, Jose finally vaguely realized just how powerful Wilbur was. Jose's own skill had reached the aura blow level, but there was a spectrum to the level as well. Jose's aura was not as thick as Duran's. That was why he had not only fai
Just then, Wilbur launched another kick at Duran's stomach. A loud thud rang through the air as Duran was once again sent flying. He spat out a large amount of blood before landing heavily on the ground, promptly falling unconscious. As he landed on the ground, a palm-sized token fell from his clothes and rolled to Wilbur's foot. Wilbur waved a hand, and the token flew into his grasp. It was a rather ancient-looking token. The token was completely black and covered with engravings of clouds, save for the blood-red sword in the middle of it. There seemed to be a strange energy that was seeping out of the token, trying to enter Wilbur's body. All Wilbur had to do, however, was use the slightest bit of power, and the token was sealed off, all its energy trapped within itself. After some pondering, Wilbur put the token away. There seemed to be something off about it, so he planned to take it home and study it. All of that happened in the blink of an eye, and Jose had just
Wilbur took a closer look and frowned. "Yvonne? What are you doing here?" The person kneeling at the door was none other than Wilbur's ex-wife, Yvonne. Yvonne looked up. Her neck was stiff from holding the same position for so long. She saw that it was Wilbur and immediately burst into tears. "Wilbur, I screwed up. I'll bear all the consequences for this. Please spare the Willows! Please!" "What are you talking about? I did nothing to the Willows," Wilbur said, confused. Yvonne sobbed, "You didn't do anything yourself, but Cape's powerful enough to land the Willows near bankruptcy. I can leave. I'll disown myself from the Willow family and take whatever punishment you desire to dish out. However, my family worked on Willow Corp for three generations for it to become what it is. I'm begging you. Please have mercy." Wilbur frowned and helped Yvonne to her feet. "Let's talk after you come inside." Wilbur then pressed the doorbell. Faye answered the door, still in her office cl
It was truly a low blow, one that had been debunked just because Wilbur trusted in Timothy's righteousness. A moment later, Wilbur said, "Alright. It'll be as you said, then. Faye, there's no need to go any further with what you're doing anymore." Wilbur also understood that it had been none other than Faye who caused Yvonne's downfall. He was disappointed in the Willows, but he still cared about Chelsea to an extent. After all, Chelsea had been the only one who truly cared about Wilbur in the past three years. He could not really bear to let the Willows go down like that. Faye nodded silently but could not help showing the icy smirk on her lips. Yvonne got to her feet at once, bowing deeply to Wilbur and Faye to show her gratitude. That was the best thing that could have come out of this, and Yvonne was satisfied enough with that. Faye said, "The door's over there. You can leave now." Yvonne nodded silently at those words, making her exit without saying anything else
Wilbur hardly reacted to the voice. "Thanks for the warning, but I quite enjoy being alive." "You took my company and almost sent me to jail. One of us is going down. Just wait," the voice responded viciously. Wilbur chuckled. "Well, I won't fight your bravado, then. Show me whatever you've got." Upon that, he hung up the call at once. Back when he had been in the army, he was accustomed to being threatened at gunpoint by some of the world's most elite fighters. A call like this was nothing to him. This kind of threat was far too hollow. Faye could tell something was off, so she asked, "What happened?" "Oh, it's nothing. I think Blake's been let out of jail," Wilbur said calmly. Faye's expression seemed to grow solemn. "Did he threaten you?" "Well, there's nothing he can really threaten me with. Don't you worry," Wilbur said. Faye gave it some thought, then nodded silently. With how powerful Wilbur was, Blake was honestly not much of a threat. A moment later, Faye
Jose bowed hurriedly. "It's thanks to your healing, Sir. I'm mostly healed now." Wilbur appraised Jose briefly. Jose felt like Wilbur was staring right through him. Wilbur nodded. "Not bad. You're about eighty percent there. You'll be completely fine with just a few days of rest." "It's all thanks to your spiritual energy, Sir, that I'm no longer in danger. Please tell me if there's anything you need." Jose bowed once again. Just then, Faye emerged from her room as well. She walked downstairs, heading out for work. Wilbur saw her and said, "Oh, perfect. You can be Miss Yves' driver and bodyguard in the meantime." "I'll be sure to do my best. I won't let you down, Sir." Jose was delighted to receive a task that made use of him so soon. To be honest, Wilbur had been planning to accompany Faye to and from work himself these few days in light of Blake's threat. However, with Jose being mostly healed, having him protect Faye was a pretty good choice. Jose himself was an ex
Nancy refused to back down either, and roared back, "Sure! Fire me then! I don't care!" "Get the f*ck out of here right now! That'll show you!" The man's humiliation turned into rage, and he shouted at Nancy. The other staff members on the floor turned to look at the outburst, but none of them dared to say anything. Just then, Wilbur finally returned to his senses to say, "Dude, could you watch that tone of yours a little?" The man turned to look at Wilbur. "Who the hell are you? Stay out of my business." "And who are you?" Wilbur retaliated. "I'm not going to just stand and watch you bully my classmate." The man barked out a laugh. "Norman Cedar, general manager of this shop. I can fire her if I want to! What are you going to do about it?" It was obvious that Norman did not think much of this classmate of his. To him, there was only so much the classmate of a retail worker could be capable of. Wilbur did not respond to him. Instead, he turned to look at Nancy and asked
