Living With My Lady Boss

The two teleportation array guards activated the array again, and with a flash of white light, Wilbur arrived in Tevinter Town. The square was bustling with people, but Babbit was nowhere to be seen. After searching around the square without success, Wilbur had no choice but to return to Buck Town.

When Wilbur reappeared in the square of Buck Town, Grote, Felix, and the others had already arrived. Felix asked anxiously, "Master, did you find Babbit?"

"No. Unfortunately, he escaped," Wilbur replied.

Then, Wilbur walked up to Grote, raised Grote's hand in front of thousands of people, and said, "I declare that from now on, Grote is the new Lord of Buck Town!"

Grote, looking at Wilbur with a surprised expression, said, "This... Mister Wilbur, isn't this a bit too much?"

Wilbur smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing. Didn't I say I would give you a gift? How about this gift? Do you like it?"noveldrama

"Thank you, I really do," Grote responded.

The news of Buck Town's change in leadership spread across the nine major towns within half a day. Everyone learned that Edmund, the Lord of Buck Town, had tried to kill Wilbur with a scheme but was ultimately slain by him. Following this, Wilbur voluntarily handed over the position of City Lord to Grote.

Previously, Wilbur had killed Hadirt, the City Lord of Tevinter Town, which had already made him famous across the nine towns. After all, someone capable of defeating a City Lord was no ordinary cultivator. This time, Wilbur killed Edmund, making him the slayer of two City Lords by his own power, a feat that shook the nine major towns within a day. Suddenly, everyone was searching for information about Wilbur.

Many cultivators initially thought Wilbur had killed Edmund to seize the position of Lord. However, upon learning the full story, they became even more impressed with Wilbur. They realized that neither of the two City Lords' deaths was Wilbur's fault. Hadirt had planned to massacre Buck Town, and Edmund had plotted to poison Wilbur. Both were slain as a result of their own misdeeds, so Wilbur could not be blamed.

In the Lord's mansion, Grote ordered the arrest of Conrad. When the guards arrived at the Albert family residence, they learned that Conrad had already used a teleportation array to travel to Tevinter Town.

Grote frowned and said, "Lord Wilbur, what should we do now? Both Babbit and Conrad have fled to Tevinter Town. If they survive and return, how will we deal with them?"

Wilbur replied, "I've heard that the nine City Lords have their own alliance. If a City Lord is killed, the other eight lords will handle the matter. So, as long as the other eight lords recognize your position as City Lord, we don't need to fear Babbit and Conrad."

The Ruler's Alliance did exist, and it had clear rules: if a City Lord was assassinated, the other eight lords could step in to resolve the matter, and the assassin would face certain death.

Although Wilbur had killed Edmund, the situation had been provoked by Edmund himself, who had set a trap with poisoned wine to kill Wilbur.

Therefore, the battle between Wilbur and Edmund was purely to protect his own interests, and it did not violate the alliance's rules. Even if the eight lords had their own opinions on the matter, they could not openly take action against Wilbur.

However, until the official letters from the City Lords arrived, Wilbur could not be entirely sure of his safety. After all, he did not know whether those eight lords would follow the rules or see him as an enemy and join forces against him.

Just as Wilbur was pondering this, a guard came to report, "My Lord, Lord George has arrived."
