Chapter 316
Right after Sammy and Dom had left, Wilbur was about to rest when the phone
rang. He saw that it was a call from Nancy and hurried to pick it up.
“Hello, Nancy! How have you been?”
“I’m alright, Wilbur. I know you’re a busy man, but there’s a gathering tomorrow
night with all our classmates. Will you be coming?”
“I’ll pass this time.” Wilbur had lost interest in these gatherings since what
happened the last time.
Nancy sighed. “I don’t want to go either if I’m being honest.”
Enter title…
“Well, don’t go, then!”
“I know, but everyone’s been giving me hell for it. They’re saying I’m all cocky
now that I’ve gotten a promotion at work, I don’t feel good turning them down.”
Wilbur let out a sigh. Sometimes these things could really be beyond one’s
control.
“Well, I guess you’ll just have to go, then.”
“I… I was wondering if you could go with me?” Nancy asked in a feeble tone.
Wilbur wanted to say no, but Nancy had been one of the first people to ever
show genuine concern for him back in school. He could not find it in him to turn
her down.
“Alright. I’m free tomorrow night, anyway. It’ll be fun!” Wilbur said, doing his best
to lighten his tone.
Nancy replied at once, “Thank you, Wilbur! I’ll see you tomorrow night, then.”
“See you.”
The call ended, and Nancy fidgeted awkwardly in her office.
She knew she should not do this but could not help herself from wanting to call
Wilbur.
She thought that she was going to give up on Wilbur for good this time if he
turned her down.
But he had said yes, and so happily too. Nancy fell into a dilemma.
“Ugh. What should I do?” Nancy’s expression turned into one of distress.
Wilbur ended the call and returned to his room, collapsing onto his bed. He
could really use some rest this time.
Yet not long after that, the phone rang again. Wilbur held back his annoyance as
he glanced at his phone. Seeing that it was a
call from Matt Lilith, he answered it.
“You’re going to get it if this isn’t a big deal.” Wilbur was obviously a little miffed.
Matt heaved for air on the other side of the call. “Sir, I’m so sorry if I got you at a
bad time. We found the guy who stole the jade statue, but he’s an expert.
Gerard even got injured battling against him.”
“What?”
Wilbur flared up in anger at once. How dare this thief steal in his territory, and
attack others when they were caught?
On another note, however, Matt and Gerard were honestly an embarrassment
too. They were both clan leaders and Aura level cultivators but had been beaten
by a thief!
“Where are you? I’ll be right there.”
“Room 888 of Noir Nightclub. The guy even said he’d wait here for you to see
just what Seechertown’s got.”
“Let him wait, then. I’ll make sure to let him know.”
Wilbur hung up the call, grumbling as he got out of bed and headed for Noir
Nightclub.
Over in the private club room, a handsome young man was sitting at a gambling
table with a cigar in his mouth and a haughty expression
There were several other gamblers trembling in the corner of the room. Matt
stood guard at the door, blood still leaking from his waist. Gerard was lying on
the ground with a pool of blood around him.
The guy sitting down took a long drag from his cigar and breathed out a ring of
smoke before shaking his head. “I can’t believe you’re calling yourselves the
head of Seechertown’s biggest clans when you’re only at this level. What a
joke!”
“Don’t get too cocky! You’re going to get it once our master gets here,” Matt
snarled from the door.
The man chuckled. “Sure, sure. I’ll be waiting, I hope he doesn’t disappoint me.”
