Looking back now, the trio seemed to be cut from the same cloth.
After hearing Hans's words, Wilbur smiled faintly and said, "I told you, all you had to do was give me news about Lou. Why make it such a big deal? Aren't you afraid of regretting it?"
"Regret?" Hans sneered and said, "In Morburn, there's nothing we can't control. You think it's some kind of sanctuary where you can do as you please? You're gravely mistaken."
"I never believed that reaching the Sanctuary level grants unlimited freedom. But I warn you, greed and ignorance will lead you to ruin," Wilbur retorted coldly.
Hans's expression darkened as he replied, "Do you know why I insisted on involving Morris and Wynna?"
"I don't," Wilbur replied.
"It's to make people like you understand that in Morburn, only the three of us hold sway. Everything must conform to our will. Anyone who opposes us will be crushed and erased from this world," Hans declared coldly.
Wilbur chuckled lightly, "I don't believe it."
Those simple words hit Hans like a ton of bricks, shattering his usual composure. He glanced at Wynna, who gestured with his hand. Five guards holding electromagnetic guns began to charge them, filling the hall with the hum of electric currents.
Meanwhile, Morris had conjured a cavalry sword, its narrow blade suitable for slicing and chopping. The ethereal flames dancing on the blade, along with the spiritual pressure emanating from him, filled the entire hall.
Theo, standing behind him, moved his fingers slightly, seemingly releasing some kind of energy.
Throughout this, Hans had kept his distance from Wilbur. In his view, the electromagnetic guns and Morris were sufficient.
However, Wilbur asked, "Earl Hans, are you planning to make a move?"
"Isn't this enough?" Hans smiled.
Wilbur shook his head, "You won't know until you try."
