Just then, Wilburunched another kick at Duran’s stomach.


    A loud thud cang through the air as Duran was once again sent flying. He spat out arge amount of


    blood beforending heavily on the ground, promptly falling unconscious


    As hended on the ground, a palm–sized teken fell from his clothes and rolled to Wilbur’s fool.


    Wilbur waved a hand, and the token flew into his


    grasp.


    It was a rather ancient–looking token. The token waspletely ck and covered with engravings of


    clouds, save for the blood–red sword in the middle of it.


    There seemed to be a strange energy that was seeping out of the token, trying to enter Wilbur’s body.


    All Wilbur had to do, however, was use the slightest bit of power, and the token was sealed off, all its


    energy trapped within


    itself.


    After some pondering, Wilbur put the token away.


    There seemed to be something off about it, su he nned to take it home and study it.


    All of that happened in the blink of an eye, and Jose had just returned to his senses.


    He could hardly believe that Wilbur had taken Duran down just like that.


    He had never quite seen such terrifying power before..


    Jose struggled to get to his feet, bowing deeply to Wilbur. “Thank you for saving my life, Sir. I pledge


    my life to you. I shall serve you whenever you need me. All you need to do is ask.”


    Wilbur nced at him. “You’re injured pretty badly.”


    “Yes,” Jose said, ashamed. “My skills were insufficient, and Duran injured my internal system. It’s going


    to take some time for me to restore myself before I can serve you, Sir.


    Wilbur frowned. Come with me for now, then


    “Of course.” Jose did not dare to retaliate, but he nced at the still–unconscious Duran.


    Wilbur said, “It’s up to his own fate whether he lives or not. Just let him be.”


    “Yes, Sir”


    Wilbur got in the car, and Jose sat in the back before the car continued driving.


    Nancy sat in the passenger seat, staring at Wilbur in a daze as her chest thumped excitedly


    Everything she had seen that night hadpletely turned her worldview upside down.


    Gods like this really did exist in real life.

    What she found hard to believe was that her desk mate from school, the introverted, orphaned kid, had


    turned out to be one such brilliant being.


    No wonder he had hardly needed to say much for the Torrents to apologize to him at once. That was


    how powerful he truly


    Not long after that, Wilbur arrived where he was supposed to drop Nancy off. The pair got out of the


    car, not knowing what to


    say


    Nancy did not know what to say, and Wilbur did not know how to begin exining any of this to her.


    In the end, it was Wilbur who broke the silence. “You saw everything, so I won’t hide the truth from you.


    After I left school, a miracle happened, and now I have superhuman strength.”

    “I saw that,” Nancy mumbled.


    Wilbur sighed. “Can you keep this a secret for me?”


    “Of course.” Nancy smiled


    Wilbur nodded, smiling back at her. Nancy waved, then turned to enter her apartment.


    Wilbur only got into the car after Nancy disappeared from his line of sight. After that, he drove back to


    Castlebury.


    Just as he had parked the car, Wilbur saw a figure kneeling at his door. It was unclear how long the


    person had been there.
