The others lowered their heads at Perry''s words, who asked, "Bernard, will you be scared if Wilbur Penn really is our master''s chosen one?"


    "No."


    "Why not?"


    Bernard sneered. "I would''ve been dead a long time ago if it hadn''t been for Master. He''s the only reason we have the privilege of life, and I''ve lived for quite a while. Besides, we''ve pledged our loyalty to the Master in the first ce. Death is hardly something I fear."


    "Do you not fear Wilbur, then?"


    "Why should I? If he is Master''s chosen one, we would be fated to die at his hands. If he isn''t the chosen one, we''ll be the ones to kill him instead. All we have to do is try our very best and leave the rest up to fate."


    "You''re absolutely right. Let''s go."


    The ck Panthers got into a car, and Bernard asked, "Perry, where are we going?"


    Perry said, "Automotive giant Billy Erwin''s manor."


    "You mean Billy Erwin of Kaylee Automotives?"


    "Yes. He''s one of Master''s men and only made it to this day with Master''s blessing."


    "I see."


    The ck Panthers arrived at Billy''s manor, where they discussed how they were going to go after Wilbur. Perry told everyone about his battle against Wilbur, and said, "Wilbur''s extremely powerful, and I think he''s already at peak Sanctuary level. We''re destined to lose if we fight relying purely on our skills."


    "What are we going to do, then?"


    "There are only two ways out of this now. The first is to sneak into Wilbur''s hotel room under an invisibility spell and kill the guy. The second way is to set up a ck Panther Trap with our spiritual energy, lure Wilbur into it, and then kill him."


    Bernard responded, "Both ways work, but I think the invisibility spell is a better bet. That way, we can strike before Wilbur notices."


    "Yes, that''s exactly what I was thinking. We''ll do it tonight, then."


    That night, Wilbur was resting on his bed when the wind chimes by the balcony began to ring. Wilbur''s ears twitched, and a n hatched in his head. He knew that the wind chimes were not moving from the wind. The ck Panthers were here.


    Just then, an invisible Perry snuck into Wilbur''s room with the other ck Panthers. They saw Wilbur resting on the bed, and Perry felt like it was the right moment then. He snuck up behind Wilbur, raising the dagger in his hand and bringing it down viciously.


    The next second, the dagger pierced through Wilbur''s body as his entire figure faded into thin air.


    "What?"


    Perry froze. Just then, the memory of his battle against Wilbur struck him and he turned around to shout, "Shit! Retreat! That was a clone!"


    Just then, the door flew wide open with a bang. Wilbur stood right there as a powerful dragon aura surged into the room, followed by a long dragon forged of dragon aura charging into the room.


    The dragon soared around the room, throwing all eight members against the wall with its tail as the invisibility spell broke and they revealed themselves.


    The dragon aura faded, and Wilbur eyed the ck Panthers coldly. "I guess you aren''t going to listen to me. Well, there''s no need for me to y nice, then."


    "Retreat!" Perry roared, and all eight men turned to leap off Wilbur''s balcony. By the time Wilbur made it there, the ck Panthers were already nowhere to be seen.
