Wilbur glanced at Edward. "You aren't any match for him, but I am. I'd like to see if he dares lay a finger on me." The classmates were at a loss for words. None of them had expected Wilbur, who had been silent the whole time, to have such nerves. Anyone could tell that Edward did not dare to mess with Mister Torrent, but here Wilbur was, doing exactly just that. Nancy tugged at Wilbur's shirt, trying to get him to shut up. Wilbur turned and smiled at Nancy, urging her to calm down before he turned to look back at Steve. For a second, Steve was actually a little intimidated by Wilbur's confidence. He only regained his bravado a second later, shouting, "How dare you! You're asking for death, aren't you?" Wilbur said calmly, "I might not be the one who dies, you know. The Torrents don't seem like that much of a big deal." Steve's gaze narrowed. "Insulting the Torrent clan will end in more than just a beating. I can assure you of that." "Is that so? Come at me, then,"
Will looked at Steve, who bowed to him before saying, "Sir, I was going to bring the guys who beat Mister Sage over, but this idiot here insulted the Torrent clan, so I brought him over first. I'll let you take care of him first before we go back and teach those other bastards a lesson." Will's expression darkened immediately after hearing those words. He stared at Wilbur coldly. "You must have a death wish, daring to insult the Torrent clan's name like this?" "Heh," Wilbur let out a laugh. "What's so great about the Torrent clan, anyways? You're nothing but a group of bootlickers following someone else's command." Wilbur had been able to deduce that the Torrent clan that Steve was talking about was one of Seechertown's three biggest clans. The Torrent clan was nothing in comparison to the Owens family. They were just acting tough to people below them. Wilbur's words made Will flare up in rage at once. He stared at Wilbur coldly and waved his hand. At once, more than ten me
Seeing that it was a call from his father, Will scrambled to answer the call. "Dad?" Gerard's voice came ringing through, full of authority. "Will, get home right now. The clan is having an important meeting." "Oh… Uhm… Dad, I've got something I need to handle right now that's a little urgent." Will did not really care about those clan meetings if he was honest. Gerard raised his voice at once. "This meeting is of utmost importance. Seechertown's got a new top dog, and you need to be here for this." "What happened, Dad?" Will asked, confused. Gerard let out a sigh. "Someone with unimaginable strength and skill just beat Jeremy last night. Jeremy pledged his loyalty to that man, and he's going to announce to all the clans to pay this man respect whenever they see him." "What?" Will's phone nearly fell to the ground, and he looked up at Wilbur. Could this guy have been telling the truth just now, and was really the man Gerard was talking about? Wilbur smiled at the sho
Will ended the call, then took a deep breath before walking up to Wilbur slowly and bowing deeply to him. "I'm so sorry, Mister Penn. I was foolish enough to offend you. Please punish me as you see fit." Will's gesture left everyone in shock. Sammy, Steve, and all the men in the room had their jaws hit the ground. Even Nancy was shocked. She did not know what had just happened. Why did Will's attitude make a complete reversal in the blink of an eye? Wilbur was the only one who knew what happened because of his heightened senses. He heard every single word in the conversation between Will and his father. Wilbur saw that and frowned. "I won't give you a hard time. Since you did apologize, I'll forgive you." "Thank you, sir. Give me a second. My father will be right here to apologize to you personally," Will said carefully. Those words shocked everyone once again. They could not understand what could have possibly happened for someone like Will to suddenly be so respectful
Gerard saw Wilbur and hurried over to bow to him. "Gerard Torrent, at your service, sir." Wilbur waved a hand. "Don't worry about it." "Did Will offend you, sir? I'll be sure to punish him," Gerard said. Wilbur frowned. "It wasn't anything too bad, so there's no need to make a big deal out of it." "Will, get over here and apologize," Gerard said sharply. Will walked over, apologizing officially. Wilbur got to his feet. "I said it was just a misunderstanding. I accept your apology. I just want this to be over." Wilbur did not want this to drag on and delay his cultivation schedule. Gerard finally stopped worrying after Wilbur stated that he did not want to dwell on this any further. He then turned to his son. "Get me a card." Will understood what his father meant and scrambled to take out a golden card before passing it to Gerard. Gerard took the card and passed it to Wilbur with both hands. "Sir, the Torrent clan has a good number of restaurants and entertainment plac
The pair continued to chat idly about their time in school just like that. Nancy was currently feeling a whole load of complicated emotions. Running into Wilbur had been a complete coincidence. He had once been Nancy's deskmate, and she knew that Wilbur had lost his parents when he was young. He lived with his grandfather and had never been very well off. That was why she had taken pretty good care of Wilbur in school. It could be said that there had been a bit of a spark between the two. But they were both so young then and hardly even understood what they were feeling before they were separated. Seeing Wilbur again after over a decade, he seemed like a completely different person with some kind of superpower in him. Nancy was no fool. She could deduce from Steve's words that Mister Torrent was someone of power. But the second Wilbur showed up, Mister Torrent turned into a meek little cat. That meant that Wilbur was on another level. However, Wilbur did not seem to w
The kick was heavy and quick as lightning. Nancy shuddered from where she was in the car, covering her mouth in terror. Just then, Wilbur smirked coldly before sending out a strong attack. Both attacks collided with a loud bang, rumbling loudly in the air. Wilbur's attack hit the assailant right at the bottom of his foot. A strong burst of power practically blew up the attacker's foot, filling the air around them with a spray of blood. The attacker let out a cry of agony, stumbling backward on one leg as he stared at Wilbur in disbelief. Wilbur turned around to stare at Jose. "You're telling me that this weakling was trying to kill you?" Jose said shamefully, "Sir, my cultivation level is not as strong as his. I'm no match for him." However, Jose finally vaguely realized just how powerful Wilbur was. Jose's own skill had reached the aura blow level, but there was a spectrum to the level as well. Jose's aura was not as thick as Duran's. That was why he had not only fai
Just then, Wilbur launched another kick at Duran's stomach. A loud thud rang through the air as Duran was once again sent flying. He spat out a large amount of blood before landing heavily on the ground, promptly falling unconscious. As he landed on the ground, a palm-sized token fell from his clothes and rolled to Wilbur's foot. Wilbur waved a hand, and the token flew into his grasp. It was a rather ancient-looking token. The token was completely black 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, so he planned to take it home and study it. All of that happened in the blink of an eye, and Jose had just
