"Is anything else the matter?" Wilbur asked.
Dom exclaimed, "We haven't even thanked you for how much you've helped us, sir! You can't just leave in a hurry like that." "That's right. At least stay a few more days so we can repay you," Sammy said, her face turning red.
Dom glanced at her, raising his eyebrows thoughtfully.
Nonetheless, Wilbur shook his head. "I've got a huge mess to clean up in Seechertown, I really can't stay. I know you'd like to thank me, but I have to go." Both siblings tried their best to convince Wilbur, but he insisted on leaving. At last, Dom could only offer to buy Wilbur and Chester flight tickets and send them to the airport.
Before bidding them farewell, Dom said, "Sir, I haven't forgotten about the shares. I'll take the transfer documents to Seechertown to you myself once I get them sorted. Don't you worry about that." "Uh, you really don't have to," said Wilbur.
Yet both siblings were adamant about extending the gesture, and Wilbur could only relent in the end.
Wilbur made a few calls to Seechertown to sort out a few things and got on the plane back with Chester.
Skyler was already waiting for them at the airport and drove them straight back to Sealake Island.
Around a little over nine o'clock that night, Wilbur and Chester headed over to one of the meeting rooms on the island.
In the room were Gerard Torrent of the Torrent clan, Matt Lilith of the Lilith clan, lan Owens of the Owens clan, as well as Gertridge Quick, the assassin.
It was perfectly understandable that Gerard and Matt were there. They were the leaders of their respective clans, after all. Wilbur was surprised that lan, Jeremy Owens' nephew, had been chosen to represent the clan instead of Jeremy's son, John.
Regardless, lan had surrendered his loyalty alongside Gerard and Matt before, and Wilbur had left it had that.
Wilbur gestured for everyone to sit down, taking a seat at the head of the table as he looked at everyone else.
"This is Chester Ray of the Ray clan in Zealand. He's a beginner Sanctuary level cultivator, a very skilled man," Wilbur introduced.
The rest of the room was shocked. A Sanctuary level cultivator was no ordinary presence, and everyone got up to bow to him, paying their respects.
Chester hurried to return the gesture, and everyone finally sat down again after that.
Wilbur was silent for a beat, before saying, "I didn't want to do this at first, but I'm going to have to say sthings now that you all have sform of relation to me." The rest of the room was silent, waiting for him to continue.
"With the objective of maintaining peace as well as a better future for Seechertown, I'm going to give everyone here two options." "One, you can cut ties withcompletely and expand on your own. You just have to respect the rules I've set within Seechertown: no killing as you please, and no owning illegal businesses. Two, you can becmy disciples. I'll be monitoring your actions and decisions, and you'll be working for me, but I'll also be in charge of your safety. If you agree, you may stay back and live here. If you go with the first option, you may leave now. I don't have anything to demand of anyone here, nor am I worried either of you might do anything to me." The rest of the room was quite surprised at the words.
Chester was the first to speak, smiling as he said, "Well, I've already had the honor of pledging my loyalty as one of my master's disciples." Gertridge stood up without hesitation as well. "I, Gertridge Quick, swear to be one of Master Wilbur Penn's disciples. I shall be loyal for the rest of my life and never betray him or be subject to any punishment sentenced upon me." Everyone there knew that Gertridge was in the middle of being hunted down by her previous assassin squad, and it was perfectly understandable that she would jump at the chance to becWilbur's disciple.
After Gertridge's declaration, Gerard and Matt followed without hesitation with their own declarations to becWilbur's disciples.
They had already been loyal before this, and now they would have official positions.
