Tyga suddenly froze and stared at Wilbur in astonishment, eximing, "You mean you''re the renowned chairman of Cape Consortium?"
"That''s right."
Wilbur smiled slightly. After a brief conversation with the group, he took a taxi back to Diseya. That night, he meditated near the center of the vige where the formation was located. Interestingly, this formation seemed to have a nurturing effect on the bodies of cultivators.
As Wilbur sat beside the formation, he could clearly feel a nourishing energy continuously flowing into his body through his pores. Typically, it would take him ten hours of meditating to fully recover his mental strength, but this time, next to the formation, it only took three hours.
When the eastern sky showed the first light of dawn, Wilbur opened his eyes, feeling invigorated. He nced at the formation and murmured, "Truly remarkable."
During the day, Wilbur continued to study the formation. Although Fawkes had fled, Wilbur still did not feelpletely at ease. Therefore, he contacted La to investigate Fawkes''s background.
Soon, La sent Wilbur the information she had gathered. Fawkes was the CEO of Bray Machinery in the country of Moda. In Moda, everything fromrge airnes to tiny screws had some connection to Bray Machinery.
Bray Machinery controlled almost all modern mechanical manufacturing in Moda. Steel is a crucial element in the modern era, and Bray Machinery''s economic reach was extensive. Fawkes was thus dubbed the "Steel King of Moda."
In fact, about twenty years ago, Moda had many different machinery factories. At that time, Bray Machinery was just a smallpany starting to gain traction. Under Fawkes''s management, Bray Machinery gradually grew, eventually dominating the steel market in Moda.
However, the rise of Bray Machinery was apanied by much bloodshed. Moda was rich in iron ore, and steel had been the backbone of many generations, giving rise to numerous families that grew to power through the steel industry.
In such an environment, Fawkes, as an emerging figure, found it extremely challenging to ovee the established leaders on his own. Thus, he resorted to many unconventional methods, which included tactics others used against him as well.
But Fawkes, being a cut above the rest and with some luck, ultimately eliminated all hispetitors and achieved nearplete monopoly over Moda''s steel market.
Fawkes''s personal history was extensive. As Wilbur skimmed through it, he noticed a crucial detail: Fawkes never let any enemy go.
Over the past twenty years, everyone who had wronged Fawkes had met their end. Largepanies had gone bankrupt, workers had faced threats, and factory wages had been shed.
These events highlighted an important detail to Wilbur: Fawkes was a meticulous and vengeful individual.
Initially, Wilbur had no intention of pursuing Fawkes further. But after reading Fawkes''s file, he realized that if Fawkes was not dealt with, he would lurk in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment.
Moreover, it was not just Wilbur who would be at risk, The entire Diseya might be implicated. Therefore, Fawkes had to be eliminated. Based on the information from La, Wilbur anticipated that Fawkes would send more people after him. Now, all he had to do was wait and remain vignt for the arrival of these assassins.
With his dragon aura, Wilbur could sense the presence of any being within a hundred meters. So, whenever the assassins showed up, Wilbur would know, allowing him to stay alert without being overly cautious.
The matter of the formation had now be his top priority. Wilbur continued to observe the two formations, trying to find a way to break the current stalemate.
Wilbur thought he should calm down and carefully study the formations. However, only half a day had passed when he received a call from the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense in the afternoon.
"Hello, Beverly, what''s the matter?"
"Deacon Penn, the department received a request for help from Moda. This morning, there was a massacre in the capital, Monsato. A man named Johnson piloted a killer robot and went on a rampage in the city center. By noon, five hundred innocent people had died at his hands."
