Wilbur smiled lightly, and a small me ignited at the tip of his finger


    He pointed that finger at thedy’s forehead, and the me seemed to pass through the skin and enter


    thedy’s mind before disappearing altogether.


    All at once, thedy felt a new sort of energy in her body.


    The energy seemed to radiate with terrifying power, the kind that could explode at any second and


    destroy her.


    Thedy cried out, “Spirit energy? You’re a spirit cultivator?”


    As a cultivator, she knew how terrifying spirit cultivators were. They were powerful enough to control


    the energy of heaven and earth, and aura cultivators were nothingpared to them.


    It was then that realization dawned upon thedy.


    Wilbur was only using the tiniest fraction of his energy and had not used his real skills at all.


    Just then, Wilbur smiled. “Well, now you know. To be honest, I’m hiring you to kill the guy just so he’ll


    reap exactly what he sowed. I wouldn’t need you otherwise.”


    Wilbur turned to leave after that, not even picking up his fishing tools.


    A momentter, thedy returned to her senses.


    She had been facing up against someone so terrifying and had been foolish enough to try and kill him.


    What was she thinking?


    “What the f*ck kind of assignment was this? I can’t kill someone like that!”


    Thedy cursed herself for a while, before letting out a sigh. “I guess there’s no other way out of this.”


    She mounted her motorcycle silently, riding off into the night


    Wilbur went home to see Faye already back and had prepared dinner.


    “Let’s have dinner.” Faye smiled at the sight of Wilbur and greeted him.


    Wilbur nodded, and the both of them began to eat at the table.


    Faye said, “I saw the transfer documents on the table. Seke Ind is now yours.”


    “Yep,” Wilbur replied simply.


    Faye said, “You know, that’s a pretty big asset. Would you like to celebrate?”


    Noting the yful expression on her face, Wilbur nodded.


    Faye took out a bottle of red wine that was somehow already uncorked, pouring the both of them a


    ss.


    “You’re prepared for this,” Wilbur chuckled.


    Faye shrugged. “What’s wrong? Shouldn’t we celebrate?”


    “Yes, we should Come on. Cheers.”


    Wilbur raised his ss, and the two of thern took a sip.


    After that, Wilbur told Faye about his trip to Willow Corp earlier, as well as what he had discussed with


    Chelsea.


    Faye smiled. “She definitely made the smarter choice. It’s a win–win. Chelsea knows a thing or two.”


    “She sure does. You should reach out to her as soon as possible and get it done,” Wilbur said.


    Faye nudied. “Got it, Boss”


    The two of thein continued chatting after that, and the bottle of wine was quickly finished.


    Wilbur volunteered to do the dishes. After he was done, he blurted out a ranm excuse and escaped


    to his roor


    Faye watched as Wilbur disappeared from her sight. She let out a long sigh, returning to her room.


    Later that night, in a hotel room


    ke was downing ss after ss of whiskey.


    His eyes were bloodshot, and his clothes were a mess. He had a wild and feral beast–lile gaze.


    He spent ten million dors bailing himself out of prison, and his case was not even over yet.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    The thought of having lost so much money just like that made him livid with rage.


    He had to admit that what he did to Wilbur had crossed the line.
