Living With My Lady Boss

Wilbur took a deep breath and said, "Lord Grote, while the Ruler's Alliance may not be pursuing this matter, I want you to remember that this isn't the end. On the contrary, it's just the beginning."

"Just the beginning?" Grote frowned as he looked at Wilbur.

"Exactly," Wilbur replied. "Don't forget, Hadirt once died in Buck Town, and those old fellows acted just as leniently, or so it seemed. But in truth, they each had their own agendas. Hadirt's death and the shift in power at Tevinter Town focused their attention there. Yet, for Edmund to plot my death in such a short time, it shows that the members of the Ruler's Alliance must have pressured him from behind."

"So, the Ruler's Alliance, the nine lords. may seem calm on the surface, but each harbors their own schemes. In the future, when dealing with them, you must be extremely cautious."

Grote nodded seriously, looking at Wilbur. "But with you here, I believe Buck Town will remain stable for at least a thousand years."

"No, I will be leaving Buck Town soon. After that, it will be up to you to manage things here."

Wilbur planned to stay in Buck Town to cultivate for ten years. If Edmund returned within that time, Wilbur would be ready to kill him. Meanwhile, Grote could use those ten years to build up his own power.

After ten years, Wilbur intended to go to Tevinter Town and start anew. Rumor had it that the gravity in Tevinter Town was ten times that of Buck Town, and the killing there was far more intense.

Tevinter Town was a place akin to hell. Although Wilbur didn't have to go there and could have gone to Light Town instead, where the energy was richer, he had always harbored a desire to find Augheimer. Like Wilbur, Augheimer was also a cultivator who had come from Earth's dimension to this middle dimension.

Augheimer's strength had grown rapidly, and Wilbur wanted to find him, to spar with him, and see whose cultivation had advanced faster.

Cultivators all had a stubborn, unyielding spirit in their bones, and Wilbur was no different. Upon returning to the Chris family estate, Felix learned of Wilbur's plan to head to Tevinter Town after ten years of cultivation and expressed a desire to follow him.

Wilbur said, "There's no need, Felix. Stay in Buck Town. When I first arrive at Tevinter Town, I won't have any foundation there and may even be hunted. Once I've established myself, you can join me."

Although Felix was reluctant, he had no choice but to sigh and say, "Alright."

"But for the next ten years, you should accompany me in cultivating within the mirror dimension. Your strength is too weak, and if Edmund returns, I won't feel at ease."

"Thank you, Master."

Felix immediately set about managing the affairs of the Chris Family. He had already selected five meticulous stewards who usually checked and balanced each other's power, so Felix rarely had to intervene in ordinary matters.noveldrama

Now, with the family's affairs in their hands for the next ten years, Felix felt assured. The energy density in the mirror dimension was a thousand times that of the outside world.

Cultivating in the mirror dimension for a thousand years would only amount to one year in the outside world.

Thus, this ten-year cultivation would, in reality, be equivalent to ten thousand years. Felix, who already had thousands of years of cultivation, would become a formidable force, likely even stronger than Grote, after an additional ten thousand years of training.

After making all the necessary preparations, Wilbur and Felix went to the Vermillion Bird Mountains, found a secluded cave, and entered the mirror dimension together.

Felix sat cross-legged on the ground and, turning his head, noticed Wilbur leaving

the room. Felix asked, "Master, where are you going?"

"I'm stepping out for a moment. I'll be back soon." Wilbur replied.
