Albert''s words may seem ordinary, but they radiated an air of authority.


    Wilbur heaved a sigh of relief internally, letting out a smile. "Alright. I''m going to let loose, then."


    "Okay. All I''m worried about is your safety. You''re on your own there, after all. But since there''s been a change and you sound confident enough, full speed ahead. The department will cover you if anything happens," said Albert.


    "Thank you, sir," Wilbur replied.


    The call ended, and he let out a loud sigh.


    Sophie interjected, "I''m sorry, sir. I''ve caused you so much trouble."


    She knew that Wilbur now had no choice but to change his n, and it was all because of her.


    Sophie had inadvertently exposed other forces from Dasha who were hiding here as well. She was filled with nothing but regret, to the point that she was ready to sacrifice her life.


    The only thing stopping her was that she did not want to die in humiliation, wanting to contribute at least a little if she could.


    That would at least bring her somefort knowing she died for a good cause.


    Wilbur nced at her. "Like I said earlier, you''re a good cop, but you haven''t quite made the cut yet. Go back to focusing on your detective work when you''re back in Dasha. You''re not cut out to be a spy just yet."


    "Yes, sir. I know I''m not good enough for that now. I''ll remember your words." Sophie lowered her head shamefully.


    Just then, Wilbur looked at the door and mumbled, "They''re here."


    At the same time, tens of thousands of soldiers surged in from all directions topletely surround Spiralville.


    The citizens panicked at the sight, bolting their windows shut and peeking out anxiously.


    Griffin, Salem, Westley, and Jasper each stood right outside of the town along with their children and three Sanctuary level cultivators.


    All of them were standing with their heads bowed then, looking over at a man standing next to them. He had long, ck hair that fell around his shoulders, and was wearing long, green robes with a sword strapped to his back.


    The man had handsome, chiseled features. His gaze seemed to speak of sorrow, radiating a strange air of maturity for his young appearance.


    The mere sight of him was enough to make any woman''s heart race. Even Demi was no exception to his charms.


    "You might not need to enter the battle at all, Master. We''ve asked for your presence just in case of danger," Griffin said respectfully.


    The man hardly reacted. "Sure. I''ve taken the jade pendant back, anyway. This is the only chance you get."


    Jasper and the others could not help but sigh, regret clear in their expressions.


    "You can save your remorse forter. You know what exactly you''ve been doing. The only reason I haven''t taken all of you out is on ount of the care your ancestors have shown me. I would never stand for your actions otherwise," said the man calmly.


    The four elders paled in the face, not daring to say another word.


    Of course they knew just how terrible the deeds they had done were.


    All four elders exchanged nces and nodded their heads.


    As the four elders gave their orders, the thousands of armed soldiers opened fire


    on the Leeker Corp''s headquarters at the same time.


    Just then, over in the headquarters, Sophie was scared witless by the sounds of weapons shots, staring fearfully at Wilbur.


    Wilbur had just said to her that Spiralville was now fully surrounded, and she was to get ready.


    What could she possibly be getting ready for, other than death?


    Just then, Wilbur opened his arms. Terrifying energy spilled out at once.


    Multiple forms of spiritual energy joined up to form a dome-shaped protective barrier, shielding the two of them inside.


    The next second, the air began to rain with bullets.


    The air rang with deafening explosions, and the ground began to shake.


    In just a split second, the entire Leeker Corp headquarters had crumbled into a pile of debris.
