Tina said in the letter that she knew her mother would not change her mind as her father's death had been too much of a blow to her. Tina wished that Wilbur would not push her. Her mother had decided to stay, and so would she. In conclusion, Tina was not going to live in Dasha with Wilbur. Tina had decided to leave for a while to avoid any awkwardness and return once everything with Greensource Corp was settled. "Shit." Wilbur sensed something ominous about the letter and rushed downstairs onto the streets looking for Tina. "Tina!" "Where are you, Tina?" "Come back! I won't force you to do anything anymore!" "Please, come out!" … Wilbur shouted with all his might, and Kyra appeared not long after with a smile on her face. "Don't shout, Wilbur. Tina's decided to leave and not see you for a while, so you should respect her choice. Right?" Wilbur was positively fuming. "It's not that I don't respect her! Things aren't settled yet, and I'm afraid she might run into tr
"Kyle Clements?" Wilbur gave it some thought. "You want me to change his mind?" "That's right. Remember not to kill him, though. Anything else is fine, as long as he changes his mind. Just give me one more day, and I'll make sure to shut them all up." "Okay, I'll give it a try. Could you let me speak to Tina for just a bit so I can make sure of her safety?" "Of course." Tina's sobs rang from the phone then. "I'm so sorry, Wilbur. This is all my fault." "Don't worry, Tina. You aren't to blame for any of this, and I promise I'll come to save you as soon as possible. Don't be afraid, alright?" "Okay." Wilbur was going to comfort her further, but the phone was taken away from Tina abruptly. "That's enough. My name is Barney, and you'd best remember my name. Greensource Corp welcomes you. Alright, go do your thing." Barney hung up the phone after that, and Wilbur stared at the phone in silence for a while. Kyra asked, "What did they ask you to do, Wilbur?" "Barney told
Kyra said, "Mister Clements, can you first tell us what the other countries have suggested regarding this matter?" "Oh, no," Kyle shook his head with a smile. "I'm sure you two should know how important this meeting is. I can't reveal any information about its contents prior. Besides, I think you should prove your sincerity if you actually feel strongly about this. I hope you know that I only agreed to see you because of Ralph. If you can't convince me of anything, let's not waste each other's time." Kyra flushed in the face. She had thought that Kyle would be a nice guy, only for him to be this cunning. Indeed, he was a skilled old fox to be representing the Allied States. Wilbur said, "Mister Clements, I'm sure the problem with Greenpeace Corp is clear enough. It's just that there is a key factor to how they're going to be dealt with, and that's who's going to be in charge of doing so. Surely an international meeting is not going to be enough to knock Greensource Corp down and
"I guess you're pretty skilled, after all. Come to Greensource Corp's headquarters tomorrow. I'd like to meet with you personally." "Sure, but it's going to have to wait till the meeting's over. I'll look for you after I send the national representatives off to the airport." "Those bastards! Do they think they can come and go as they please in a place like Cametra? I'm going to make these nosy bastards pay tomorrow!" Barney hung up after that. Wilbur let out a long breath before heading back with Kyra. Tina's mother had seen Tina's letter and was waiting anxiously at the door. She hurried over at the sight of Wilbur. "Have you found Tina, Wilbur?" "Of course. Don't worry, you know what her temper's like. Tina's not going to want to come back anytime soon, and I didn't force anything on her. We agreed to cool off on our own for the night, and she'll be back tomorrow." "That's a relief. I shouldn't have pushed her." Tina's mother wiped at her tears, before ushering Wilbur
Thomas could not help but chuckle at Wilbur's invitation to a battle, finding Wilbur ridiculous. However, Thomas was also an avid enthusiast of battles and never turned any down, and this was no exception. "Listen up, young man! I've never lost before, so I'll hold back later to go easy on you. You're going to get lost like a good little boy once you're defeated, got it?" "Sure." Wilbur said calmly, "I'll leave as long as you defeat me. But if I win, you'll have to listen to my every order until you get on that plane. How's that?" "Boy, you sure are cocky, but I must say that I respect that boldness. Alright, I agree with your suggestion. You're not winning anyway. Bring it on!" Thomas shook Wilbur's hand, and both men stood across each other. It seemed like nothing was happening to an outsider, but they were already pitching their spiritual energy in a battle against each other. Both men channeled their spiritual energy into their palms. Thomas did not show his mid Sanctua
"He bought me coffee?" Thomas looked in disbelief at the waiter before asking, "Did he have a message for me?" The waiter was a little stunned before smiling and saying, "Yes, there is. Mister Penn wanted to tell you that the coffee is not bad. He hopes for you to try it out." "Anything else?" "No." "Thank you." After the waiter left, Thomas looked at the cup of coffee in his hand. Although he still bore animosity toward Wilbur and grumbled at him silently, he tried the coffee, nonetheless. The meeting lasted four hours. When the meeting was about to end, Thomas received a call from Kyle. "Mister Clements. How may I help you?" "Thomas. Is Mister Penn still there?" "Penn? Mister Penn who?" "Wilbur Penn." "Oh." Thomas looked at the cafe and said, "He's still here." "Alright, now that the meeting is over, bring him in. Say that I'm inviting him to lunch." "Lunch?" "Yes, is there a problem?" "No." Thomas was surprised. The international meeting was a prestigio
"Of course, I didn't mention anything about Greensource Corp during the meeting, and neither did all the other countries' representatives that attended the meeting." "Thank you," Wilbur said. Kyle patted Wilbur on the shoulder and said, "Mister Penn, the rest is all up to you. I hope you don't let me down." "Of course." Then, Kyle invited Wilbur to join him for lunch and introduced Wilbur to all the other countries' representatives. After exchanging pleasantries, Dasha's representative, Matias, pulled Wilbur to the side and said, "Mister Wilbur. The Department of Paranormal Research and Defense is really pleased with Cametra's investigation, but there might be a huge change coming to Cametra. I hope you will be ready before it comes." "I understand. Thank you." After Wilbur chatted with Matias for a while, they headed back to their own seats. The lunch lasted for an hour. Then, after a short moment of rest, the representatives each got into their respective cars. Wilb
Wilbur looked at Barney, who was seated behind the desk, and asked, "Where is Tina?" Barney slowly took out a cigar and lit it. He took a draw and puffed out smoke before saying, "Don't worry. Since you've finished my mission. I will surely hand her over to you. However, before that, there is something else I wish to talk to you about. Have a seat." Wilbur had no choice but to pull a chair and take a seat. He said, "Cut straight to the chase." In fact, Wilbur knew that Barney would not hand over Tina so easily, which was why he was already prepared. Barney said, "Actually, I'm really interested in how you got Kyle Clements to trust you and how you got them to give up talking about Greensource Corp at the meeting." Wilbur said, "It's because of Ralph." "Ralph? This has something to do with him?" "That's right," Wilbur said. "Master Barney, I'm sure you know that Kyra and Tina are best friends. Kyra's boss is Paul, and Paul's boss is Ralph." He continued. "Kyra was worrie
