The truth was that Wilbur also suspected the ck Panthers and their elite leader had some mysterious connection with the bronze cauldrons. Wilbur had just bought a cauldron from Jiro, and the ck Panthers had made a reappearance, killing Jiro before flying to Migorn to look for Wilbur.


    Despite the fact that the ck Panthers might not really want to work with Wilbur, he knew that they must have some information on the cauldrons. In fact, Wilbur had even been looking forward to the ck Panthers'' visit so that he would be able to get a lead on where the remaining three cauldrons were.


    Wilbur arrived at Billy''s manor half an hourter, where he was standing at the entrance waiting for him before weing him into the manor.


    Sitting in the living room was Perry Woller, a member of the ck Panthers. Wilbur had met the guy before and sat down himself before taking a sip of tea. "What''s up, Perry?"


    Perry nodded at Wilbur. "Wilbur, I''d like to inform you on behalf of the ck Panthers to stop looking into the Nine Dragons Cauldrons. You won''t be able to get your hands on them. At the same time, we''d like to purchase the four cauldrons you have from you at a price of five million dors. If you agree, the ck Panthers will never give you any trouble starting from today."


    Wilbur said, "Well, you''ve certainly tried to give me trouble in the past. It''s just a shame you didn''t seed. Are you telling me you have the nerve to challenge me now after an entire decade?"


    "You!"


    Perry scowled. "Wilbur, I wouldn''t push my luck with the ck Panthers if I were you. The consequences of angering us are pretty severe."


    Wilbur took a deep breath. He was not here to argue with Perry and thus changed the subject. "That means that the Nine Dragons Cauldrons do hold a secret, one that neither you nor I have the right to know about."


    "You don''t have the right to know about it, not me."


    "I guess that means you''re going against the ck Panthers, then?"


    Wilbur shrugged. "Since the cauldrons have no real owner, whoever gets to them will be the rightful owner. I don''t think that''s exactly up to the ck Panthers to decide."


    Bam!


    Perry mmed the table, causing it to crumble into pieces as he stood up. "Fine. None of you are leaving today, then. Come on out, brothers."


    The three people rushed out from where they had been hiding, and all four men moved to surround Wilbur as he stared him down, circling him as if to find any weak spots.


    Wilbur sneered. "There are eight members of the ck Panthers, but I only see four. Do you really think you''ll be any match for me?"


    "Get him!"


    All four men turned invincible at the words, charging at Wilbur. Wilbur leaped into the air, flying backward with the help of his dragon aura as he conjured a clone. The next second, the clone absorbed the dragon aura and summoned a dragon before charging back into the house.


    The dragon let out a mighty roar as the clone made it soar around the room. All four men, including Perry, were struck by the dragon''s tail, forcing them to show themselves as they fell heavily to the ground.
