Chapter 47
However, Jeremy bowed to Wilbur deeply. “I thank you for your kindness, Senior, and I deeply regret
my actions. Let me send you a gift as an apology.”
“Oh?” Wilbur was a little surprised.
Jeremy looked around him. “The Owens family owns this island. I’ve underestimated and offended you.
I’d like to offer you this island as a gift as an apology.”
“You’re giving this island to me?” Wilbur had honestly not expected this, and he looked at Jeremy in
surprise. “This place must cost good money.”
Jeremy bowed again. “I’m sure money is hardly a problem to you, Senior. This is just a little gift from me, I hope you’ll accept it.”
Wilbur fell silent for some time before saying slowly, “Since you offered, don’t mind if I do.”
“Thank you for accepting this, Senior. I’ll arrange for the transfer of the property as soon as possible.
It’ll be yours very soon,” Jeremy said.
Wilbur nodded, then turned to leave.
Jeremy called out behind him, “From this day on, the Owens family shall take any order that you may have, Senior.”
Gerard and Matt heard that and hurried to bow to Wilbur as well.
*Gerard Torrent of the Torrent clan at your service, Senior.”
“Matt Lilith of the Lilith clan at your service, Senior,”
Wilbur nodded lightly but continued walking away.
Just then, Jeremy finally straightened up as he let out a long breath.
The Owens family had really met their match this time.
However, Jeremy was no small fry himself. After all, he had made it as the head of his own clan.
He quickly readjusted his mindset after losing to Wilbur
Wilbur was practically considered a god on earth, with power that no clan could match.
Since they could not beat him, they might as well join him.
With someone like Wilbur on their side, the clan’s power would only grow stronger.
Thus, Jeremy decided to give Sealake Island to Wilbur,
It was to apologize, but also a gesture of allegiance.
-if–Wilbur did not turn him down, Jeremy was sure that he would be able to gain Wilbur’s forgiveness with his own sincerity.
Gerard and Matt understood at once what Jeremy was thinking as well.
That was why they had shown their loyalty too, volunteering to follow Wilbur’s orders.
They naturally had to cling to a force like this!
Just then, the three clan leaders exchanged a glance. Jeremy said, “There is a silver lining to even the darkest cloud. This incident started out as a tragedy, but we just might have gotten some good out of it.
Chapy
Let’s hope this turns out good for us.”
Wilbur drove home and entered the house to see Faye still at the table. She had not touched the food
on the table at all, and it was still steaming. It was from being heated up over and over again, of course.
Wilbur asked, ‘Why haven’t you eaten?”
Faye was clearly relieved at the sight of Wilbur coming home safe, and she greeted him happily. “How was I supposed to stomach anything with you gone? Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Wilbur smiled lightly, taking off his shoes and sitting down at the dining table with Faye.
Faye filled up Wilbur’s plate, and the two of them dined in silence.
“How did it go?” Faye was still a little worried.
Wilbur nodded. “It went well, I’d say. I even got Sealake Island because of it.”
“Sealake Island? Faye was a little confused.
Wilbur said, “The Owens family gave Sealake Island to me. They said I’ll have it in the next few days.”
Those words left out a lot of the dangers that he went through.
Faye knew that a lot more had happened. After all, it had resulted in the transfer of an establishment that cost billions.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Wilbur must have gotten it with pure, undeniable skill.
Faye knew a thing or two about what her boss was capable of.
There was a rumor that he had led a group of elites into battle around the world, before finally founding
Cape International.
Wilbur’s power was rather terrifying, to be honest.
