Nancy got up in a hurry. "Let's not get angry, guys. We're just here to have some fun." Yet Edward said, "Who are you to say that to me? I came all this way just because of Cindy, or none of you would even get to share the same room with me!" Edward's words were a little harsh, and there was obvious displeasure in everyone's expressions. However, due to the nature of Edward's status, no one could really say anything. Everyone here worked in Seechertown and could not afford to offend someone like the son of the district manager. One classmate raised his glass. "Mister Channing, please calm down. Here, I'll drink with you." "Oh? And you are?" Edward said haughtily. The classmate said at once, "My name's Frank Cedar. I was just transferred to Weston District for work. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mister Channing." Frank was all smiles, draining his glass in one go. Everyone else sighed to themselves. Of course, there would be someone like this at every gathering. The g

Will broke into a fit of laughter at those words. "Mister Sage, the Torrent clan has been around in Seechertown for almost a century, and we've certainly built a name for ourselves in that time. The oldest son, Manny Torrent, is the vice secretary of Seechertown, and many other members of the clan are holding important roles in the city. Even someone like Lightning Hank would have to pay his respects to me in these parts of town. Do you think we'd be afraid of a little nobody like the Channings?" Sammy had obviously heard about how powerful the Torrent clan was. Otherwise, he would not have wanted to work with Will. He said those words with a clear goal in mind. Sammy chuckled at Will's words. "The Torrent clan is powerful indeed. Well, Mister Torrent, what are you going do about this?" "You're my guest, and someone hit you. Of course I'm going to stand up for you. I'm going to break both legs of whoever hit you earlier," Will said grimly. Sammy clapped loudly. "Very well. I'll

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,"

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

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
