Living With My Lady Boss

"No need!"

Dubond gritted his teeth, understanding that Eugene was determined to escape, even at the cost of his life. Even if Fred managed to track him down in Walker Town, a fierce battle would surely ensue between them, and the outcome would likely be Eugene's death and Fred being seriously injured.

Dubond knew that Eugene was well aware of the consequences of his escape. It was a fate worse than death, filled with pain and despair. Thus, Dubond knew Eugene would not return. Rather than risking Fred's injury, Dubond decided it was better to have him test Trevor.

Dubond understood that if the enemy were not extremely powerful, Eugene would not have fled. Therefore, Eugene's escape only confirmed that Trevor was a formidable cultivator.

As Dubond and Fred headed back, Dubond instructed, "Fred, go to the Robert family estate immediately and gather information for me. I want to know just how strong this Trevor really is."

"Yes, my lord."

"And remember, don't engage in a death match. If you can't win, retreat immediately."

Watching Fred's figure disappear into the darkness, the murderous intent in Dubond's eyes grew more intense. No matter what, Eugene's departure was closely tied to this Trevor, and Dubond intended to settle this score with him.

In Dubond's mind, driving Eugene away was not a mistake. On the contrary, he placed the blame squarely on Wilbur. He believed he had never made any wrong decisions.

At the Robert family estate, Wilbur stood in the courtyard waiting. Liam asked, "Trevor, are you sure Dubond will send someone again? Is it possible that he might contact the Andrew family head first, and the two will plan together before coming after the Robert family?"

A few days ago, the Robert and Warren families had clashed in a fierce battle. During this fight, the Warren family lost one talisman practitioner, and another was seriously injured. Liam believed that after Wilbur drove Eugene away, Dubond would not risk sending someone again immediately. He would likely first contact the Andrew family head, Bruno, and the two would strategize, possibly waiting until tomorrow to attack again.

To show his gratitude and draw Wilbur closer, Liam had prepared a lavish feast. After all, Liam did not believe Wilbur would help him without reason, so gaining Wilbur's support was crucial.

Wilbur, understanding Liam's intentions, said, "Don't worry, Lord Liam. I promised Layton that I would help the Robert family regain its status as the top family. I won't leave until the Robert family is stable. Also, I know Dubond well. I'm certain he will send someone again."

Hearing this, Liam was taken aback and then lowered his head.

Just then, a cold breeze swept through, carrying a powerful energy. With a sharp clang, Wilbur drew his sword and slashed at the space ahead, sending out a wave of sword aura.

Boom!

The sword aura collided with a barrier, dispersing it. In that instant, Wilbur glimpsed a figure emerging.

Wilbur then leaped into the air, thrusting his sword into the empty space ahead. He spun mid-air, slashing behind him. Each time he struck, Fred's figure briefly appeared, only to vanish again. Wilbur executed over a dozen strikes, forcing Fred to reveal himself repeatedly.noveldrama

Finally, Wilbur unleashed a powerful wave of sword aura, driving Fred back. The energy in the space gradually diminished as Fred retreated. Relieved, Wilbur sheathed his Magic Dragon Blade.
