"Everyone has to die eventually. Some die a glorious death, while some die easily. Meanwhile, some die of stupidity!"
In the inn, surrounded by all those guns pointed at him, Wilbur calmly finished the sentence before he disappeared with a flicker, effortlessly appearing behind the young man.
The young man, after witnessing Wilbur's ghostly movements, looked incredibly scared.
Fear often came from strong opponents.
Facing Wilbur's superhuman movements, the young man quickly spoke, "You… What do you want? I'm Mondorra's son. If you dare to touch me, my father will never let you off! Those girls have already been taken away by my men. As long as you tell me where to retrieve my goods, I'll make sure they send the girls back!"
Hearing the young man's stubborn lies, Wilbur sneered, "When people lie, there are obvious physical reactions. Right now, your heartbeat is accelerating, and your expression is telling me that you won't keep to your word even if I let you go. You will try to kill me the moment you're in control of the situation, right?"
Being exposed by Wilbur like that caused the young man's expression to sour. Only then did he realize that he had provoked a clever and terrifying individual.
To save his own life, the young man quickly said, "Even if you kill me, those women won't live through tonight! As long as you let me go and hand over the goods that Selby and his partner stole, I'll not only have those women sent back but also give you a hefty reward. How about that?"
Hearing the young man starting to yield, Wilbur did not show him any mercy. He tightened his grip on the young man's throat slightly and said, "You're in no position to negotiate with me right now either. You better tell me where the girls are, or you'll join them in their graves if I run out of patience!"
