Wilbur replied nonchntly, "I was smuggled here."


    "Smuggled? You''re not a spy, are you?" Demi backed away and pulled out her


    pistol to point at Wilbur. She looked menacing.


    Wilbur replied, "Whatever you say. It doesn''t matter to me."


    Demi pulled the trigger slowly.


    Wilbur scoffed coldly and grabbed Demi. A huge force came at her.


    An agile figure appeared and punched Wilbur right at that moment.


    Their attacks shed and created a thunderous explosion. They backed away and looked at each other coldly.


    The man who made the punch attack was in his forties. He was short and muscr and had been standing next to Demi the whole time.


    He was a peak Ambience level cultivator.


    That frightened Yannick so badly that his face turned white as a sheet.


    He was afraid of being severed into pieces for offending Demi.


    The man formed a scimitar in his hand and pointed it at Wilbur.


    Spiritual pressure washed over Wilbur.


    Wilbur did not back down either. He summoned the historical halberd in his hand and pointed it at the man.


    Their power escted, and spiritual pressure started to spread out from them.


    An intense battle was about to erupt.


    Demi chuckled at that moment and said, "You''re not bad. Why did a powerful cultivator like you get smuggled here? It doesn''t seem logical, does it?"


    Hundreds of weapons were pointing at Wilbur, and a peak Ambience level cultivator was ready to fight.


    Wilbur would not be able to avoid the intense battle if he could not provide a reasonable exnation.


    He replied nonchntly, "They say this ce is in chaos. Combat cultivators are worth the most where there is chaos, right?"


    "Nicely said." Demi apuded his reply. Then, she asked, "Are you willing to work for me?"


    "That depends on the price you''re offering," replied Wilbur nonchntly.


    Demiughed and said, "An Ambience level cultivator earns five hundred


    thousand dors a month here, but you should be a peak Ambience level cultivator since you''re not weaker than Buff. I''ll offer you one million dors per month. What do you think?"


    Wilbur was silent for a moment before replying slowly, "I''ll think about it."


    Demi raised her eyebrow and smiled. She said, "I''ll give you three days. Come


    find me at the Leeker Corp building if you ept the job. Remember, I don''t like to


    be rejected. Even a Sanctuary level cultivator can''t withstand explosions from modern technology. A peak Ambience level cultivator isn''t worth a lot around here."


    With that, she walked away in stride.


    Yannick wiped the sweat off his forehead, and he hurriedly followed her.


    A huge group of people followed after Demi and Yannick.


    Lucian''s dead body was just left there.


    A powerful cultivator died the same way as an ordinary person.


    They were too used to corpses at the industrial park.


    Wilbur went back to his room and took a nap.


    He kept thinking about what Demi said.


    Venomadder left no traces for him to follow.


    He wondered if it might be easier to find Venomadder if he rose up the ranks.


    ...


    Demi looked around, then went to Yannick''s office. She sat on his chair and put her slim legs up on his table.


    Yannick enjoyed that too. He thought Demi was so cool when she first came to visit, so he imitated her from then on


    However, he could only stand quietly by her side, serving her obediently.
