George smiled at Wilbur. "What, don''t recognize me?"


    Because of what happened with Botani, Wilbur was still wary of others. He looked coldly at George, saying, "Why should I? I''ve never seen you in these quarters before. Tell me who you are now!"


    George said, "Well, I''ve not seen you here before either, but you''re definitely an interesting guy."


    Just then, Edmund, having sensed George''s aura from the secret chamber, walked out. "Oh, it''s you, Lord George."


    "Ha, Edmund! You did something I''ve wanted to do for a while, but never had the guts to. That Dragon yer Organization killed so many of my dragon n cultivators, and I couldn''t even avenge them as City Lord. It really breaks my heart."


    "Please don''t say that, Lord George. Walker Town would not be the ce it is without you being its lord. You gave the dragon n cultivators there a safe space, and that''s good enough already."


    Wilbur was shocked at the words. He had not expected this tall, slender man to be City Lord George of Walker Town, the fifth major town.


    That was where Wilbur had been headed, and his master, Orkot, had strongly rmended George to him as well.


    "By the way, Lord George, this man is Wilbur Penn. He''s a dragon n cultivator, the one I''ve been watching over for you."


    The smile on George''s face froze at the words, and he turned to Wilbur with a frown. "You''re a dragon n cultivator?"


    "Yes, I am. I''ve heard of you before I came here, Lord George."


    "Oh, have you? Are you from the lower dimensions?"


    "Yes, from Earth."


    "Earth?"


    George''s eyes shed icily. "Who''s your master?"


    "Orkot, the Aqua Dragon."


    "Ah, I see. Yes, Orkot and I are old friends. Don''t worry, Wilbur. I got news that you''d being before you even got here, and I''ll look out for you. You can pack your things up in a bit ande to Walker Town with me. You can work for me when you get there."


    Wilbur was stunned by the offer. It had indeed been his wish to head to Walker Town, but Buck Town would be in shambles if he left now, and Edmund would end up dead for sure. Furthermore, there might be another war within the Four Great Families that would drag Felix down for sure.


    Wilbur was a man of honor. He would have been dead if Senior Horne had not saved him, and leaving now would fill him with regret even if he had gotten the opportunity to enter the upper dimensions a few years earlier.


    Thus, Wilbur did not think twice before bowing slightly to George and declining, "Thank you for the offer, Lord George, but I can''t head to Walker Town with you for now."
