After stime, Eileen sighed and said, "It is a shame, but I will fulfill their dying wish and keep up the good fight." Wilbur did not say anything else, choosing to sip his tea instead.
"Considering the situation, we may have to fight alongside each other. Can I stay here temporarily? Staying in a hotel is quite expensive, after all," she asked with a smile.
Wilbur looked at her and said, "Sure, but everything here stays a secret." "Of course. I'll follow the rules here strictly," Eileen replied.
He nodded and said, "I have a lot of rooms here. You can pick one for yourself." "Thanks. I need my beauty sleep, or my skin will look bad. Goodbye." She stood up and headed outside to look for a room.
He let out a long sigh and watched her leave. He mumbled to himself, "They're all so troublesome. What exactly do they want?" He thought about it for a long while and shook his head. He reached for the jade pendant he took from Shawn and held it in his hand.
The jade pendant was an acceptable sacrifice, but it was also a good magical treasure to nullify intermediate spells.
However, as his Dragon's Chant mastery advanced further, he needed to exchange for better pills that could enhance his physique too. It was not like he could exchange those pills with just a mere hundred or two grace points.
The jade pendant probably would not get him many grace points. He felt like he should wear it instead and earn more sacrifices before he sacrificed them all in one go.
He thought about it and infused his spiritual energy into the jade pendant. He erased the previous mark and replaced it with his own, becoming the new owner of the jade pendant.
He wore the jade pendant like a necklace and finally felt like a proud owner of a magical treasure.
Suddenly, his phone started ringing. He answered it without hesitation.
"Hello, is this Mister Penn?" someone asked on the phone.
"Speaking. Who are you?" "I'm Gage Weiss from the Weiss clan. I'm here to deliver the ore to you." "What? Is the ore here already?" Gage sounded very anxious on the phone as he said, "Uhm, not really. Something went wrong." "What happened?" Wilbur was quite invested in those ores.
Gage explained anxiously, "We were at the Eastern Sun District, and a truck overturned. The ore spilled out, damaging the highway below and the equipment of a chemical factory. Our ore has been confiscated by them." "Just compensate them if you damage their property," Wilbur replied.
Gage said, "That's what I said, but they wanted ten million dollars in compensation. It was outrageous. I tried to negotiate with them, but they wouldn't let it go, and they beat up three of my drivers." Surprised, Wilbur asked, "What's this? You are from the Weiss clan, aren't you? How did you get overpowered?" "I'm sorry, Mister Penn. I'm not cut out for cultivation. I'm just a white-collar worker of the Weiss clan, so..." Gage explained awkwardly.
Wilbur had to shake his head. He asked, "Are their losses worth ten million dollars?" Gage sighed. "The damages are probably worth less than ten million, but this person is a local tyrant who is very arrogant and domineering. I've been trying to communicate with the head of the clan, but his phone was switched off. Our clan members say he's in seclusion for healing, and no one dares to make a decision. I was afraid this might delay your plans, so I decided to give you a call. This batch of ore may take a few more days to be delivered," he explained anxiously.
After hearing that, Wilbur replied, "Those ores are mine, which means they're confiscating my property. I'll handle it immediately.
Wait there and don't start any conflict with them."
