Wilbur frowned. "Is Hadirt really that powerful? How does he farepared to Lord Edmund or Lord George?"


    Felix shook his head. "They''re not evenparable. Back in the day, George was only able to be the City Lord of Walker Town with Hadirt''s support. Even ten Georges together won''t be a match for Hadirt!"


    Wilbur was shocked by the revtion, and Felix sighed. "You''re going to have to hide for your life now, Master. Cultivate as much as you can, and head to the upper dimensions through a dimensional portal when Hadirt''s not looking. That''s the only way you''ll avoid his wrath. You won''t be able to show yourself for a while now. You have toy low and focus on cultivating."


    "But..."


    Wilbur was about to speak, but Felix waved a hand. Felix knew the middle dimensions best, and if he said that there was no other way out... that was most likely the case.


    Augheimer said, "Wilbur, I don''t have anything to repay you with for saving my life. Let me stay by your side from now and help you with anything you need."


    Wilbur patted Augheimer on the shoulder. "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing."


    The three men rested in the cave, only returning to Buck Town once they were fully recovered.


    At the same time, Conrad was on one knee in the City Lord''s quarters as he described Wilbur and Dalton''s battle from start to finish.


    "Hahaha!" Edmundughed loudly. "It seems everything''s going ording to n. I was just wondering how I was going to take Wilbur down, and Dalton did it for me. Once he gets the job done, he will have killed a dragon n cultivator, and I''ll have one less threat to worry about. Ah, Buck Town will finally be at peace once again."


    Conrad had a satisfied smirk on his face. "There''s something else, Lord Edmund."


    "Oh?"


    "When Felix, Wilbur, and I went to force money out of the Hilton family earlier today, Grote thought that Babbit sent us. He ended up giving Felix and me ten thousand gold coins each, but Wilbur got a hundred thousand gold coins on his own. Grote thought that Babbit sent us to rob the Hilton family... so I doubt he''s going to remain loyal to Babbit after this."


    "This way, the most powerful Reyne family will lose all their support. Once that happens, Lord Edmund, you just need to say the word and the Reyne family will be reduced to dust, Babbit included. After that, you''ll be in control of all the Four Great Families, Lord Edmund."


    "Hm. That does sound like a pretty good n, Conrad. I can also see that you''re loyal to me, and I''ll make sure that the Albert family bes the leader of the Four Great Families once this is all over. You, Conrad Albert, will have the highest power in Buck Town under me."


    "Thank you, Lord Edmund."


    Conrad bowed to Edmund, but his eyes shed venomously. The truth was that Conrad did not wish to be controlled by anyone, but he was not born with enough talent, hence he was unable to quickly improve his cultivation.


    Thus, Conrad could only plot to take out people who were more powerful than him. Wilbur and Felix had to die, and Babbit had to die too. Now, even Lord Edmund here had to die as well.


    Conrad appeared loyal to Edmund on the surface, but he was just waiting until a chance came along. Once Edmund and Babbit''s battle ended with both of them gravely hurt, Conrad would be able to reap the benefits.
