Chapter 31

All the people calling out prices looked at Wilbur at once. They knew that Wilbur's words were a serious accusation, and the consequences were dire. If he did not provide an explanation, he would not be able to leave the place. To be honest, Wilbur needed things like that as well. It could be said that he needed them more than anyone else in the room. That was why he had focused his spirit energy to investigate the incense holder. However, after some investigation, he immediately knew that it was a fake. That had disappointed him greatly. Yet the sight of all these people fighting over a fake made him laugh, only for him to get in trouble for that. However, he was not scared in the slightest. Wilbur slowly walked up to the crowd and glanced at Master Jose. "Can you tell me your name, and where you live, O' Great Master?" "My name's Jose Smithson. I'm from Numbridge Mountain, currently living in Joland City of Stricton Province," Master Jose said haughtily. Wilbur n

"How dare you break my precious incense holder! You're asking for it!" Jose roared furiously. He shook his robes, and a strong wave of energy surged at Wilbur. The crowd's expression shifted as well. That was supposed to be a legendary spirit weapon. That guy was just too bold. Master Jose was a famous cultivator from the Stricton Province. That guy was done for. Just as everyone was in shock at Wilbur's nerves, he smiled. "Open your eyes and take a closer look." The crowd leaned forward at the broken incense holder, baffled by the situation. Wilbur said, "The incense holder is just a replica of an antique. There's a piece of oud in there that seals the powers in it, letting out a glow and fragrance to make it look like a spirit weapon. It'll disappear in three months, tops. I can't believe such an obvious counterfeit technique was enough to fool all of you." Wilbur's words left everyone in shock, and the crowd began to inspect the broken incense holder. Everyone in the c

Jose's forehead was filled with sweat, and he bowed deeply to Wilbur. "Young man, I admit that I was boasting earlier. Please forgive me." "That's right. Please spare us and show mercy," Mike piped up as well. Wilbur's expression darkened, and he turned to look at Mike. "Show you mercy? I don't remember you being merciful earlier." Mike's expression turned ugly from his anger, unable to say anything else. Jose knew he had messed up, but those words he said earlier were merely a boast! He was not going to take off himself just like that. He looked at Wilbur with an apologetic expression. "It's my fault for not knowing my items, young man. I'm sorry. I'm willing to compensate you ten million dollars in exchange for your forgiveness." Wilbur smiled. Of course, he was not going to make Jose take his own life over such a trivial matter. However, the 10,000,000 dollars was another matter. After all, the two had been quite rude to him earlier. Wilbur wet his finger with the te

Chapter 34

She was alone in the middle of the night, barefoot and only clad in pajamas that were caked with dirt. Anyone could tell that something had happened to her. Tears streamed down the girl's face, but she remained silent. Faye continued to try coaxing the girl, while Wilbur could only stare. A while later, the girl's emotions were finally a little more stable. Faye brought the girl to her room and gave her a new set of pajamas to change into. She washed the girl's face as well before bringing her to the living room again. Looking at the girl then, she was honestly quite pretty. It was unclear just what had happened to her. Faye made the girl a bowl of pasta and continued to give her advice and comfort. At last, the girl started talking after she ate. The girl's name was Shelby Seacrest. She was from a rural village and had a boyfriend who was going to university in Seechertown. She had come to Seechertown with her boyfriend and worked to pay her boyfriend's school fees. Bu

Shelby's head was bowed, her tone feeble as she asked, "Wilbur, are you and Miss Faye married?" "No," Wilbur said, sitting up. "What are you two, then?" "Colleagues." After Shelby heard his reply, she sat down next to Wilbur on his bed. She leaned towards him, the front of her dress falling to expose her cleavage and her fair, smooth legs. "Wilbur, I'm really grateful for you but… I don't know what I should do. You don't think I'm a bad person, do you?" Shelby looked at Wilbur. Wilbur took in the sight of a pitiful-looking Shelby gazing at him. "We can talk in the living room. This isn't very appropriate." Yet just then, Shelby inched even closer. She was practically running against Wilbur's body as she cooed, "Wilbur, I need some comfort. Can you make me feel better?" It was the middle of the night, and there was a beauty practically throwing herself at Wilbur. Any other man would have found it hard to resist. Yet just then, Wilbur could sense that something was off.

Faye moved out of the way. Timothy entered the living room with his subordinates and Shelby. Faye's ice-cold gaze swept past Shelby's face. Shelby looked absolutely pitiful, following behind them with her head bowed. Timothy came up to Wilbur and asked, "Are you Wilbur Penn?" "That's me," Wilbur said. Timothy said coldly, "Miss Shelby Seacrest here made a report saying that she was sexually assaulted in your house. You are to cooperate with us immediately and return to the station with us for investigation." "Sure. That's not a problem. Let me change my clothes," Wilbur said. Timothy looked at Wilbur's torn pajamas. "You can change, but we need to take the pajamas you're wearing away with us." "Of course." Wilbur got up and headed for his bedroom. Timothy glanced at the other two policemen, and one of them followed after Wilbur at once. Not long after, Wilbur came out in a new set of casual clothes. The pajamas were put into a clear bag by the officer. "Come with us."

"Understood." Everyone knew well enough just what the Cape was capable of. The Kardon Province branch alone had enough resources and influence to buy out the biggest media platform there was right now. If they were to gather all of Cape's resources in the entire country, there would be few international media brands that would be any match for them. That was why Faye had said those words so firmly. Yet she had more to say. "Send out a warning to the smaller, 'anonymous' news channels as well. If they dare to even post anything about Cape, we'll make sure they disappear from the internet forever." "Got it." "Communications." "Yes." The head of the communications department stood up. Faye said coldly, "Hire whoever it takes to set up a task force to immediately beat down all possible allegations that might surface. Take down any and all comments against Cape and its owner or engage until they die down." "Yes." "Everyone be on standby, right now," Faye ordered. Everyon

Timothy fell silent for a while before saying, "Guess you aren't going to 'fess up." "Nothing happened for me to confess, so why should I?" Wilbur replied. Timothy said, "Two completely opposing statements. One of you has to be lying. You do know that the consequences of lying in a place like this are extremely severe." "I know they're severe, but isn't it up to you to prove who's telling the truth?" Wilbur said. Timothy smirked coldly. "Of course we will, but you'll have to be responsible for what you said." "I know I am. I trust that you're a responsible person who will get to the bottom of this," Wilbur said with a smile. Timothy fell silent. Judging from how cases like this usually went, the women were less prone to lie. That was why he was leaning more towards believing Shelby. But Wilbur seemed extremely calm and confident. He was either really good at keeping his cool, or he was telling the truth. The whole thing was a little complicated. It would require some

"Officer Evans, what do you mean by that?" Faye looked confused. Timothy smirked. "I see that you’ve even got Chief Hemmington involved. The Cape Consortium really is something." "What are you trying to imply? We just happened to run into each other. You're overthinking this," Faye replied with a smile. Timothy was nothing but annoyed. Did she think he was an idiot? It was too much of a coincidence! Chief Hemmington just happened to be running a spot check on his station and also happened to bump into Faye. Bowie even shook her hand voluntarily. Of course, that was supposed to imply something to Timothy. Faye said, "Officer Evans, I'm here to bail Wilbur Penn out on a pending trial." "He can't leave yet," Timothy said coldly. Faye frowned. "Officer Evans, do you know that Cape's legal department has a nickname of its own?" "What nickname?" Timothy said. Faye smiled. "People liked to joke that Cape's legal department is the 'sure winner' of Seechertown. Of course, th

Wilbur smiled. "Timothy's a good sheriff. I'm sure he'll get to the bottom of this." Faye was caught off guard. She was still angry at Timothy, but here Wilbur was calling him a good guy. On second thought, however, it seemed like Timothy had not done anything wrong. He was only doing his own job. Besides, it was perfectly understandable that he was angry at her for trying to threaten him with Bowie. Timothy did, from a professional view, seem like a good cop. Wilbur said to Faye, "Alright, you should go to work. I told you that the truth will come out in the end and lies will never stand the test of justice." Faye could only nod, then left for Cape. There were all these people over there, including herself, who could not rest just yet. She had to plan out the next step, and it was not the time to rest yet. Over at Willow Corp. Yvonne sat in her office, feeling like she was at her wit's end. Willow Corp had been bombarded with messages from banks in the past two days, all
